I had intentions to buy a used car, but when we seen how affordable a new Kia Sorento was--we then decided to go with it. What really made a big difference with Carriage Kia was the great customer service w affordable a new Kia Sorento was--we then decided to go with it. What really made a big difference with Carriage Kia was the great customer service we received on top of the other great incentives. They really go above and beyond the usual car buying experience, because they went over every feature personally before we left, and we received a first aid kit for our car and a paint pen to touch up any spots that may occur over the years. These little details are the reasons that we will be returning in the future and we've already recommended them to our entire family. Plus, the safety features are out of this world---our car insurance actually decreased by $20.00 per month, and we had traded in a Ford Explorer. More

Louis Neiza was our main salesperson. We enjoyed his laid-back style and he heard us when we told him what we were looking for in a vehicle. Tim Rutherford, the General Sales Manager, was very knowled laid-back style and he heard us when we told him what we were looking for in a vehicle.

We are pleased with our 2009 Kia Optima and also the buying experience at Carriage Kia. More
We decided to get the 2011 Kia Sportage AWD becasue of the safety rating of the car and because of the look (body style)of the car. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. the sales people were very helpf the safety rating of the car and because of the look (body style)of the car. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. the sales people were very helpful with all of our concerns and answered all of our questions.it did take a while to receive the new car because we needed an AWD where we live, but we are "VERY" satified with the Sportage. The car is made really well and drives great. I love the hill assist feature. Overall we had a good experience at Carriage Kia and would gladly tell anyone in the market for a new car to visit Carriage. More
I saw the billboard for Carriage Kia while at another dealership. I was not getting anywhere with that dealer, so I went to Carriage Kia and met Rusty Sandberg. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I dealership. I was not getting anywhere with that dealer, so I went to Carriage Kia and met Rusty Sandberg. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I initially told him I was just looking and he allowed me to view different vehicles on the lot and was avaiable to answer questions when I decided on vehicle I wanted more information on. He was very patient during the entire process and made every effort to assure questions were answered and helpful in arriving at a final agreed upon price. You hear a lot about dealers that use very high pressure sales techniques. Rusty was very patient and listened to my concerns and worked with me until we had an agreement. Will definitely come back when time for my next vehiclel purchages. More
My husband and I visited Carriage Kia looking for a very specific 2011 used Kia Sorento. We were actually on our way to the Mall of Ga because we had found one online we were interested in looking at. Immed specific 2011 used Kia Sorento. We were actually on our way to the Mall of Ga because we had found one online we were interested in looking at. Immediately after arriving Tim Ingle approached us and we told him specifically what we were looking for. He offered to show us the same car new so we could make sure it was definitely what we wanted. We instantly fell in love with the Sorento and after learning all of the advantages in buying a new vehicle we were sold. Tim and all of the staff at Carriage Kia went above and beyond the call of duty to insure we had the best car for the best price possible. Tim was extremely upbeat and non-pushy. I would highly recommend Tim and Carriage Kia any day. More
I came to Carriage Kia to look at the Kia Soul, but I fell in love with the new 2011 Kia Forte Hatchback in the showroom. Once the friendly staff saw that I was admiring the sporty good looks of the new fell in love with the new 2011 Kia Forte Hatchback in the showroom. Once the friendly staff saw that I was admiring the sporty good looks of the new hatchback design, everyone worked together to maneuver a few cars out of the showroom, simply so that I could take a test drive. Upon driving the car, I was very impressed with it's performance, especially it's handling around turns. Once I returned from the test drive, I really felt as if the car was already mine. The "bells and whistles" in the car were more than I needed, but the push-button start and navigation have proved to be more convenient than I could have imagined. Stephanie, my saleswoman, worked really hard with the finance department to ensure my payment was under my budget. I got an incredible deal from the start, without any of the back-and-forth games or blatant dishonesty that I have encountered at every other car dealership I have ever been to. I have purchased many cars in my day, and I can sincerely say that Stephanie, and all of the staff at Carriage Kia, have exceeded any expectations I had, and have frankly set the bar for the way a car buying experience should be. I have already recommended some friends and co-workers to Carriage - it is definitely worth the drive! More
