Jim Shorkey Kia Gainesville

I was not expecting to buy a car. However, my hubby came home with a car and salesman, so see if I liked the car he'd test driven. Albeit bone tired, I dutifully plunked myself down and test drove the Forte home with a car and salesman, so see if I liked the car he'd test driven. Albeit bone tired, I dutifully plunked myself down and test drove the Forte. The young man was very cordial (sorry - I'm terrible with names) and not pushy (I hate pushy). He was helpful in answering questions and staying out of the way when not needed. The manager we dealt with was also nice and helpful. He was straightforward about things; I value that. This was a great car-buying experience, and we have already recommended this particular Kia dealership to our pastor, who bought an alien green "hamstermobile" (Soul). Thanks! More

My sister and I drove 2 hours from our hometown to purchase my new vehicle from Carraige Kia. Dealers that were within a short distance from my house were not willing to work with me on a price, and purchase my new vehicle from Carraige Kia. Dealers that were within a short distance from my house were not willing to work with me on a price, and another dealer wouldn't even let me test drive the Optima. However, I was determinded to get what I wanted. My aunt and uncle had purchase a Kia from Carriage Kia a few months prior (for the same reasons as I). I was a great experience. I would highly recommend this dealership for anyone's future purchase. My sister and I actually had fun! Who knew a car sale could be fun?!? But everyone was so friendly and funny,...it seemed to take a load off of my shoulders when it came to making a huge decision! More

We were very impressed with the friendly, inviting atmosphere at Carriage Kia. We had shopped around at many other dealerships and were immediately unimpressed by their high pressure tactics.

I came in on a Saturday simply to test drive both the Optima and Forte because I was considering a Hyundai (Sonata and Elantra) and wanted to drive these closely matched models. I had no intention of pur Optima and Forte because I was considering a Hyundai (Sonata and Elantra) and wanted to drive these closely matched models. I had no intention of purchasing - I was planning to buy in the next 30-60 days to be in a better financial position. When I told Michael that, he went to get the keys to a Forte but also brought Dustin, the sales manager, over with him. When he asked if there was any way he could earn my business that day, I gave him what I thought were pretty impossible odds since we didn't have any money to put down. We drove the Forte and loved it, and though the Optima is an amazing car, it was out of our price range. Because he was so sure he could get a deal done in our price range, he let us keep the Forte we test drove for the weekend to drive it and get a feel for it, making sure it was something we'd be happy with. We came back on Monday, signed the papers and hopped in a BRAND NEW 2012 Kia Forte EX (8 miles on the odometer). We couldn't be happier with this car and our purchase experience. I'd HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a Honda, Toyota, or Mazda. Kia has really stepped up their game, and you should have a look for yourself! More
