My wife wanted a 2012 Kia SOUL and was very specific about what she wanted. I spent several weeks contacting dealers in my local area (Knoxville TN) and down in Georgia. I received many responses, but about what she wanted. I spent several weeks contacting dealers in my local area (Knoxville TN) and down in Georgia. I received many responses, but only the folks at Carriage Kia continued to keep in contact with me and actively worked to find just what my wife wanted at the right price. Tim Ingle and the folks at Carriage Kia where great and made my 400+ mile round trip to get the right car well worth it. More

I am giving Carriage Kia a rating of 5 out of 5. Everything was great from a purchasing standpoint, I did not have to wait all day long to purchase my vehicle. My Salesman (Orlando Lara) was easy t Everything was great from a purchasing standpoint, I did not have to wait all day long to purchase my vehicle. My Salesman (Orlando Lara) was easy to talk to and was very personable. I was given a great deal from Greg Simpson, and he helped make the decision to purchase our Kia easier. We liked the fact that Orlando was also the person who we signed our paperwork with, so this seemed to speed up the "car buying process". More

Prior to visiting Carriage Kia, I had a great deal of interaction via e-mail and telephone - all very informative and helpful. When I visited the first time, the Optima I had discussed with Tim Ingle wa interaction via e-mail and telephone - all very informative and helpful. When I visited the first time, the Optima I had discussed with Tim Ingle was pulled to the front of the lot and ready for my test drive. At all times, Tim and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the car and the financing options - and very open to find a mutually agreeable price for the Optima. While signing the paperwork, Jeremy Smith showed my wife and (tech savvy!) kids the features of the car and helped to setup the bluetooth functions. Even though we arrived at the dealership late in the day and the purchase wasn't completed until after closing-time, we never felt rushed or treated as a burden to those that helped close the purchase and prepare the Optima for my drive home. Fortunately, the overall experience was pleasant - something I hadn't expected when I started looking for a new car! More

After some time to think about my experience at Carriage Kia, I have given a "good" instead of excellent in my overall experience. There were times in the negotiations, that I thought that the shuffling o Kia, I have given a "good" instead of excellent in my overall experience. There were times in the negotiations, that I thought that the shuffling of papers and offers back and forth to the owner (or manager) was confusing. I believe this is standard in new auto sales negotiatiions and Carriage Kia is no different from any other in this regard. I think that Carriage Kia would be a better dealership if it would work on negotation satisfaction. I did not leave confident that my "deal" was a win-win. My salesman, Greg Simpson, was pleasant to work with and none of this is directed towards him. More
