Thank you Carriage Kia for your professional and timely sales process. From walking into the dealership to delivery was only about 1.5 hours. We love the New SOUL! The best part was later finding out that sales process. From walking into the dealership to delivery was only about 1.5 hours. We love the New SOUL! The best part was later finding out that you provide a paint pen that matches our color in case we get any scratches. That is a great giveaway that I tell everyone I know about. It is all in the details. More
Our experience was very positive and we would recommend this dealership to anyone. Robert was waiting on us and went above and beyond to accomodate our requests for information. We drove a used van, then this dealership to anyone. Robert was waiting on us and went above and beyond to accomodate our requests for information. We drove a used van, then a new van, made several comparisons in price, color, features, etc. Robert never pressured us or hurried us along. He aloud us to "shop" for the vehicle that would best suit our family. Once we decided to buy new, the van was sent off to "clean-up". I love that they give the car a wash and spruce it up before you drive off the lot. That makes the experience even more comforting and friendly because Carriage Kia really wants you to have the best service. There were other employees who also made us feel at home. One young woman took us to meet the service department manager and discuss our service options. Once our van came out of clean-up, she showed us all of our operating options. I have never experienced that type of customer service or detail. Usually a dealership just sends you home with the manual. Not Carriage Kia; this young woman showed us where all the various buttons, options, controls, etc. were located. When we drove off the lot, we were thrilled with our new van and the overall experience from Robert and the Carriage Kia family. Go see them, you'll be glad you did. More
We have been looking at Kia's for a couple months now. We selected Carriage Kia because of the proximity to our house.

Laura was very helpful and explained the differences between the EX and LX models very well. There was no pushiness from any of the employees and the process was a great experience. More
Laura was very helpful in answering all of our questions. She was courteous as were all of the representatives. She also volunteered to come in on her day off if we needed her to.

My Mom and Dad purchased a used 2004 Ford Explorer for me because I totalled my car due to a blow out one week ago. This was a very traumatic event for me. I drove the used 2004 Ford explore home. As I was d because I totalled my car due to a blow out one week ago. This was a very traumatic event for me. I drove the used 2004 Ford explore home. As I was driving home from the dealership, the car downshifted, lost power, and staeted gliding. There was a tractor and trailer behind me on HWY 369. I had to pull off the road to keep from being hit. My parents and I test drove the car more then once. We asked the dealership to check the front end, and they said they did. My dad took the car to a mechanic and the mechanic said the front and rear wheel bearings were shot, the transmission is going out, and the sensor for the gas pedal is going out. Five hours after we had purchased the car, my Dad carried the car back to the dealership, and asked them to fix the car or give him his money back. They said that it was not their responsibility to fix the car or to advise us that there was anything wrong with that vehicle. We under stand AS IS WARRANTY, but when you sell a death trap, and the people that purchased it comes back witin five hours and there is nothing that the dealership can do for you is a little ridiculous.We have tried to teach our kids to be honest and fair to people and no one at the dealership seems to understand this concept and doesnt seem to care who they kill,its all about the almighty After rating the dealership on Wednesday, Robert contacted us on Friday and said we could come back to the dealership and they would work with us and "make things right". We went back to the dealership on friday to look and test drive other vehicles. The Internet price of the Ford when we purchased it was 9,*** therefore, we were looking at other vehicles with a internet price of 9,***. They offered us an even swap for a vehicle that was list at 7,*** but no money back. We ended up getting another vehicle that was a year old, cloth seats, 20,000 more miles, and not fully loaded for an additional 2,600 dollars. They did allow us to take the vehicle home for the weekend so we could have it checked out before making anything final. We do appreciate them for letting us do that, but their idea of making things right SUCKS in my opinion. We did take this vehicle because we just wanted to be done. By the way.... they put the used 2004 Ford Explorer back on the internet for sell the same day we returned it to them for 10,*** More
I had a great experience. I was real impressed with the warranty. The price was great too. I feel that in the near future will take the place of honda as being the next standard in reliability.

Sales persons were very helpful, understanding, and nice. They did everything they could to help. Someone also helped me get the bluetooth device operable, which I could not figure out by myself.

My wife and I came in to Carriage Kia to look for a used car for my commute to work. We were immediately greeted as we stepped out of our car by a sales associate and we talked to him about what we wanted. car for my commute to work. We were immediately greeted as we stepped out of our car by a sales associate and we talked to him about what we wanted. He was very helpful and in answering his questions we were able to get a new Kia for the same money as a used car with a great warranty and no miles. The customer service was very high and we felt very little pressure to purchase a car that day. We did not intend to purchase that day but due to the price, customer service, and the willingness to please my family and I we did buy a 2010 Kia Optima and couldn't be more pleased. More
We were new car shopping. From the time we pulled up to the dealership, through the end to the delivery of our new KIA Sorento, the experience was PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT!!!! Our salesman Chuck Mjolsnes the dealership, through the end to the delivery of our new KIA Sorento, the experience was PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT!!!! Our salesman Chuck Mjolsness was fun to shop with and was extremely knowledgeable about the different models and options. Discussing the financial issues with Tim Rutherford was like meeting up with an old friend. It was light and fun conversation. When we returned to get our new car we met with Tony Valdez and he went over every inch of the car with us explaining all the gadgets. First time ever that anyone has delivered a car the way he did. Very much appreciated. All in all, we would recommend ANYONE to see Carriage KIA of Gainesville for their next car. WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE TOTAL EXPERIENCE OF PURCHASING OUR NEW CAR!!!! Next time we are in Gainesville we will stop by just to say hi. More
After purchasing a Ford Fusion last year, I was very unhappy with it so decided to "bite the bullet" and look for another car. My husband and I made several stops at different dealerships along Brown B unhappy with it so decided to "bite the bullet" and look for another car. My husband and I made several stops at different dealerships along Brown Bridge Rd and were immediately impressed with the Kia dealership. Our salesman, Robert, was very outgoing and professional and did a "GREAT" sales job! He showed us every vehicle of interest that we mentioned. Tony was very pleasant and went over all the "bells and whistles" of the vehicle. I had wanted a small SUV and was very interested in the Kia Soul after Robert let me take it for a test drive. I love the way it handles and its funky retro design. The rest of the story is history...I am now a proud owner!! More
