Crown Kia St Petersburg

I was quoted a price of $29.95 for a lube, oil and filter service. I asked for Pennzoil instead of the brand they use and was told it would add maybe $5.00 to the cost. I made an appointment for the next d service. I asked for Pennzoil instead of the brand they use and was told it would add maybe $5.00 to the cost. I made an appointment for the next day and had the service done. At the completion the Service Rep tells me the total is about $60.00. I refuse to pay it and advise her of what I was told on the day before. She says, "I check with management and see what can be done". 10 minutes later I am asked to pay 39.95 and agree to that just to get out of there. This is exactly the kind of "bait and switch" this dealership tried when I bought the car 2 years ago. Then they tried to reduce the amount offered on my trade-in (which had been a written contract condition) but said "we'll check to see if management will honor the agreed upon value" when I told them I would not complete the deal. Typical bait and switch tactic and I should have known better the 2nd time. There won't be a 3rd, that is for absolute certain, even if they are the last dealership on Earth. More

I didnt have to wait as long this time as I did the last. Patti was very helpful and friendly. She even reminded me of the mpg refund program that I had completely forgotten about.

Mike Cornell was my sales person. He drove out to my home to take me for a test drive, before I bought a V6, just to show me how powerful it was.

Mike Maccini (Boston Mike) worked with me for almost six weeks to find the car that fit my budget, interest rate, and payment plan. I have been to enough dealerships to know car salesmen don't want you to weeks to find the car that fit my budget, interest rate, and payment plan. I have been to enough dealerships to know car salesmen don't want you to walk out the door. Having said that, Mike never pressured, pushed, or hassled me over these five plus weeks and went the extra mile time and time again to help me with my first new car experience. He let me feel comfortable the whole time in my decision making and never talked down to me as others car salesmen do. Even after three different test drives, another deal in Tampa (that was cheaper but not the car I wanted... a stick shift) he rallied to get me exactly what I wanted at the price I could afford. I know that most car salesmen would've given up on me within the first few days...thinking I'm wasting their time. NOT Mike. No matter how small a question, or something I didn't understand, he would CALL me and walk me through it. When I finally got the car I wanted at an interest rate he fought for with the financial dept/bank, (low considering my credit) he showed me every little thing about the car and all it's technology. He made the whole buying experience casual and not stressful for me. I will be referring my college students, friends, and family directly to Mike Maccini. It's quite simple actually. If you want a new car and you don't want the pressure, and you are unsure of all the questions you need to ask, and could possibly be just looking for the future... go to Crown Kia in St.Petersburg Florida, and ask for Mike Maccini. He is hands down the best. I am not affiliated in any way whatsoever with Crown Kia and did not previously know Mike Maccini prior to buying my car. Just a guy wanting a good deal with an honest salesmen. I got incredibly lucky getting Mike. More

WOW...what a dealership. These guys at Crown Kia know how to make buying a car easy. I live in Orlando FL and after talking to the local Orlando Kia and being promised a great deal over the phone, I then vis to make buying a car easy. I live in Orlando FL and after talking to the local Orlando Kia and being promised a great deal over the phone, I then visited the Orlando Kia dealership only to be disappointed with additional charges on the car I wanted that amounted to several thousand dollars. I wound up walking out insulted and very disappointed. That’s when I reach out to Crown Kia in Tampa. I saw an advertised deal on a Cadenza that I thought was very reasonable and e-mailed the dealership about it. I was contacted by Michael Cornell and I spoke with him on the phone and told him what I wanted for a deal on a new Cadenza. I told him I would be willing to drive the 1 1/2 hours to the dealership if he could get me the deal I was asking for. He did some checking with the managers and called me back a few minutes later telling me to come on down and he would make the deal. Skeptical that I would get down there and receive the same hidden costs that I experienced elsewhere, I was very pleasantly surprised when I arrived. Michael met me at the door, walked me into the show room and sitting in the middle of the floor was the car I wanted with a big bow on the hood. Michael pointed at it and said there’s your car. I said "yes if we can make a deal". Michael said "what do you mean?...we already made a deal over the phone." Then jokingly added “you can pay more if you want to but I am ready to give you your deal." We sat down did the paperwork and I drove the exact car home for exactly what I wanted and asked for over the phone. I am 52 years old and have purchased many cars in my lifetime. Not once have I experienced the easy atmosphere and no stress experience that I did at Crown KIA. My thanks to a great team at Crown Kia and especially to my sales consultant Michael Cornell! More
