This dealership was one of, if not the best, to do business with since I purchased my first new car. Cris Bell was my first contact with Casey KIA and it was a good first impression. He was knowled business with since I purchased my first new car. Cris Bell was my first contact with Casey KIA and it was a good first impression. He was knowledgeable, cheerful and friendly. There was no pressure at any point. When the first vehicle we looked at and drove proved it couldn't meet our needs he was able to find another which did. During the discussion regarding financial matters he really paid attention to my goals and made every effort to help me reach them. When Mr Bell involved Charley Woods in the search for the right vehicle and later in the financial matters we moved quickly thru the purchase process. Mr Woods proved to be someone whose can-do attitude overcame issues that confused me at first. I would recommend Casey KIA to family and friends and hope they were lucky enough to be met by Chris and assisted by Charley. Their personalities and skills compliment each other and offer the buyer a pleasant experience. More
NEVER EVER BUY A CAR FROM CASEY KIA. Casey Kia has by NEVER EVER BUY A CAR FROM CASEY KIA. Casey Kia has by far the worst customer service of any dealer. Even airline reps and health insurance reps are NEVER EVER BUY A CAR FROM CASEY KIA. Casey Kia has by far the worst customer service of any dealer. Even airline reps and health insurance reps are more honest and have more integrity than the staff at Casey Kia. I attempted to purchase a 2012 Kia Sportage Manual transmission from Casey Kia. With Sales Associate Paul Clark, I committed to a price, and was told that the car would be available in 72 hours because it was "coming from North Carolina". I was told to sell the car I was currently driving (because it had "too many miles" to be traded in) and that the dealer would provide me with a comparable car to what I was purchasing until my new car came in. First problem- the comparable car was a piece of crap. It had check engine lights on and the engine needed to be turned over multiple times before the car would actually start. Second problem- After 72 hours, I had received no contact what so ever from Paul Clark or any staff at Casey Kia. When I called them, they said he was sick and passed me off to Roberto Dial who said that he was the General Manager of the facility, and that they were for the manual transmission and that it would be another 72 hours because now the car was coming from Tennessee. Third Problem- Roberto Dial is actually the sales manager, not the general manager, don't lie about your position (or lack there of) to seem important. Fourth Problem- Another 72 hours go by, and I have yet to receive any contact from Casey Kia. I call them, report the massive problems with the loaner car and am told to return it and they will change cars. I am told again that it'll be "a few days till we can transfer the car from Tennessee." A few days go by, and there is still no contact from Casey Kia. I call them and inform them that I will be traveling for business in 2 weeks to New York, and I need a vehicle to get there. They have now passed me off to Stephen Sparkman, the "real" general manager, and he claims that he is now getting involved with the process. He "assures" me that there will be regular contact with me about the process of "finding" the car (apparently they have now lost both cars that they told me were available) as well as addressing my need to travel to New York for business. I receive a call the next day from Stephen Sparkman stating that they are having trouble "locating" the car. He tells me it would be more cost effective for him and Casey Kia to sell me the current Kia Sportage I am driving (2012 automatic transmission) at the quoted price of the manual transmission. I remind him that their "most cost effective strategy" for their company is really none of my concern because I was told I would be able to purchase a manual transmission vehicle. Fifth Problem- What makes a car dealer think that the customer would have any concern about cost effectiveness for the dealer?? Sixth Problem- The next day I am again called by Stephen Sparkman. He says that he "talked to corporate" and that I am aloud to drive to South Carolina for business. I told him that would be useless, seeing as I have businesses in New York, not South Carolina. He said I just couldn't do that and my only options were to purchase the car I was in, or turn it in and find another way to transport myself. Seventh Problem- I told him I would consider taking the automatic for the price of the manual, and he tries to increase the financing from 2.9% as previously agreed to 3.9% with his reasoning that "it's not really that much difference." That's actually $744 difference. A big amount. Eighth Problem- Don't assume that because I am female, I will not hold the dealer to ALL of the terms that were previously agreed upon. Begrudgingly, I decided to purchase the 2012 Kia Sportage Automatic. I was put into a very difficult position where it was either purchase the car or walk to the nearest rental car place (about 3 miles) away. I was told by Stephen Sparkman that he would be at the dealership and would complete the sale with me. Ninth Problem- As soon as I got to the dealer and met with Stephen Sparkman, he passed me off to Tim Lee. Tim Lee completed the sale, rushing me through many of the pieces of information. He also gave me a final sales evaluation form where he said that if it wasn't "10's" across the board, they don't get paid. There were questions rating customer service, honesty, contact, and overall process. He and Casey Kia, did not get all "10's" but I highly doubt they did not get paid. Tenth Problem- Less than 24 hours after the purchase, I notice a small tear in the drivers seat. I immediately called Tim Lee and reported this. He said that he would get on this as soon as possible and find out how they can repair this. Eleventh Problem- TWO WEEKS GO BY with no contact from Tim Lee. Another sales rep repeatedly calls my phone asking if I want to buy a Kia from Casey Kia. Apparently records aren't kept. I go in to collect my plates and a new sales rep asks about the car. I asked when they will contact me about the rip in my seat. He states that he is going to talk to Stephen Sparkman, the general manager. Stephen Sparkman comes over, introduces himself and has no recollection of who I am or any of the problems from two weeks ago. I explain that I have previously called about the rip, and he feints ignorance. He then asks to see the rip. When I show him he says that it is "obvious that [I] am lying" and have tried to "sabotage" the car. He tells me there is no way they will do anything to help me out and storms off. Maybe it's because I am a female that won't get pushed around. Maybe because they had to do something they had to see as "cost effective". Or maybe they just didn't like me, but for whatever reasons, there were constant lies and omissions from the start. I will never ever buy another car from Casey Kia, and I will make sure the patients and students I come into contact with every day know how poorly a person gets treated there. More

This was my first car buying experience, and let me tell you, Tracy made it a smooth and easy buying process. He was extremely helpful and I never felt pressured. Tracy was very nice and knowledgeable in t you, Tracy made it a smooth and easy buying process. He was extremely helpful and I never felt pressured. Tracy was very nice and knowledgeable in the vehicle I purchased, which was a 2011 Optima Hybrid. He really took the time to get to know what was comfortable for me. My over-all experience with Casey Kia, and Tracy Lego as my salesperson, was great. I am going to recommend this dealership to all my friends and family. All of the staff was very friendly and I am glad I had my first purchase with them!! Thanks guys, I absolutely love my new Hybrid. More
Scott was very friendly and helpful than one can imagine in helping my daughter and I make our decisions. During our negotiating, I had my fifteen month old granddaughter with us who came down with a stomac in helping my daughter and I make our decisions. During our negotiating, I had my fifteen month old granddaughter with us who came down with a stomach virus and had pooped drippings throughout the lobby. Scott immediately took action in securing the area and cleaning up the mess. Though this was our most embarrassing moment EVER, Scott provided GREAT customer service and this became our most memorable moment during a sale. Scott, keep up the good work, your good sense of humor made our day. More

I've worked with a multitude of car dealerships over the years and every experience was basically the same. You know....as soon as you break the driveway threshhold some smooth talking, over-eager salespers years and every experience was basically the same. You know....as soon as you break the driveway threshhold some smooth talking, over-eager salesperson attacks you with hand outstretched and business card at the ready, drilling you with questions and turning on the pressure. The trip into the office begins the painful haggling and secretive meetings. The headaches begin and the stress level increases. After multiple hours of back and forth, up and down, and all around, a deal might be reached and you may walk out with the vehicle you originally went to look at, or maybe you are leaving with only a headache and a negative attitude. Well let me tell you that a trip to Casey Kia is nothing like the above. We recently made our second trip to Casey Kia to look into the 2012 Kia Optima. Due to an issue we had with the service department for a problem with our already owned Kia Sedona, we were immediately told by General Manager Steve Sparkman and Sales manager Roberto Dial, that they were going to make it right by giving us an extra discount. We then sat down with Chris Bell to discuss what we wanted to do. He provided us some great background and education on the Kia Optima and how it compares to other vehicles. We then took a walk through the lot comparing the models and learning the differences in each. Chris took us for a test drive and we returned to the office to set down and discuss our options. Roberto approached us and was very friendly and personable and willing to discuss things with us person to person. At no point, did we ever feel pressured to buy or feel like the salesperson and the managers were having secret meetings behind closed doors or behind the glass discussing how they can counter or how they can turn up the pressure. The entire experience at Casey Kia is a very relaxing and friendly one. From the amazing interactions with Chris Bell all the way up to the the General Manager (Steve Sparkman) the experience is awesome. It is a complete 180 degrees from any other car buying experience I've ever had. No pressure and no harrassing. While I'm sure that there are other great salespeople working in this store, I would very strongly recommend you call and request a time to go in and sit down with Chris Bell. Chris has gone above and beyond for us in both of our trips to Casey Kia and has made every effort to make us feel we can trust him and that he respects us. Chris made it a point to contact us a year after we purchased our Kia Sedona just to see how things were going with the vehicle and if there was anything he could do for us. He took it upon himself to jump in and assist us with our problem with the service department and even brought the issue to Steve Sparkman, whom in turn personally approached us to get the details and take action to resolve the problem. Chris Bell, Roberto Dial, and Steve Sparkman are by far the best car sales personnel I've ever worked with and as long as I am in this area and as long as they are selling vehicles, I will take my business to them, even if they are working at a different dealership. Chris, Roberto, and Steve - thank you so much for your awesome customer service and just plain "caring" for people and not just seeing us as a "sale" or a "number". Keep up the amazing work you do!

Forget what you know about car buying because it is NOT like that at Casey Kia ! After a LONG relationship with another dealership and what I thought was a good relationship we have found a NEW HOME at Cas like that at Casey Kia ! After a LONG relationship with another dealership and what I thought was a good relationship we have found a NEW HOME at Casey Kia. We had previously bought a Kia Sorento from Casey about 9 months ago and were really pleased with the service and attention to detail that we got from the staff at Casey. One afternoon Chris ( our salesman ) called just to check on the vehicle, how we liked it, if we were having any problems and so forth. I told him at the time that we were " kinda " in the market for another car ( my 10 year old Ford was about to die ). I had done a LOT of research on vehicles and decided that the KIA Soul was probably going to be a good fit for me and where we wanted to stay in our budget. I did not go into this research specifically looking to buy a KIA but knew that the service we got from Casey last time would have me taking a serious look at what they had to offer, on top of that the Sorento that my wife bought from them is a FABULOUS car, we absolutly LOVE it. So we went into the dealership to look at the Soul, we were greeted like family hung out and talked a bit and felt NO pressure to buy anything. We worked on some numbers that my wife and I didn't really feel comfortable with so I asked Roberto ( Sales Manager ) what the possibility would be for him to get in a base model Soul would be, these little things are FLYING off the lot ! Roberto did some looking and told me he could have one in two days ! I was done ! True to their word they got the Soul in that I wanted, came in at a price I wanted and we have had another successful deal at Casey Kia. I would also like to mention that Roberto was off the night we went in to day the financing paperwork and the General Manager Steve was sitting right there behind the Sales desk, this man is personable and willing to work with you, half the night we stood at the sales desk working things out... I added a few accesories to the vehicle and an extended warranty because the price was to good to pass up. I will also tell you the extent that these people will go to to make sure you are taken care of... we spent a little more time at the dealership than we expected doing the financing so Chris ( our salesman ) offered to go an pick our kids up who were down the road skating... I didn't hesitate to let Chris take our car AND our credit card ( it was Steves birthday and we wanted to get him a cake ) to go pick up our kids. Normally I wouldn't let ANYONE go pick up my kids, that is the kind of person I am... but Chris ( Abraham Lincoln as our kids like to call him ) developed a relationship with our kids the last time we were at the dealership that I felt comfortable with. So to sum this whole experience up... it was OUTSTANDING ! My wife and I feel like we have truly found a new dealership to do business with and made some new friends in the meantime. On another note, if you are in the market to buy a new car... you should take a serious look at KIA... they are making an amazing product and when you do decide to buy go see my good friends at Casey Kia, you will not be disappointed.
