⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a fantastic experience getting my new car at Gary Rome Kia, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from John Brusco. From the moment I walked in, John was welcoming, patien car at Gary Rome Kia, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from John Brusco. From the moment I walked in, John was welcoming, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. John made sure I felt confident in my decision and never pressured me into anything. He explained all my options clearly and worked with me every step of the way to make sure I left with a car I truly love. It’s rare to find a salesperson who’s this genuine, helpful, and honest — I highly recommend asking for him if you’re shopping at Gary Rome Kia! Thanks again to John and the whole team for making the experience so smooth. I absolutely love my new car! More
