Hi I am retracting Carriage Kia on behalf of the general manager Chris and Kyle from the service center. Recently we purchased an 09 Kia and was very displeased with it. Upon rating it with dealrater the ge manager Chris and Kyle from the service center. Recently we purchased an 09 Kia and was very displeased with it. Upon rating it with dealrater the general manager agreed to meet with me to discuss my concerns. We met and he agreed to fix everything wrong with my SUV and got the service center manger to get it done fast. I am thankful to them both and really do appreciate their time they took to meet with me and settle my issues. Thanks to the both of them. More
I'm currently an owner of a 2013 Soul that is completely wrapped - the cutest car ever! My car doesn't have all the bells and whistles though. The Specs on the 2014 Soul Exclaim are Perfect, so completely wrapped - the cutest car ever! My car doesn't have all the bells and whistles though. The Specs on the 2014 Soul Exclaim are Perfect, so I ran up to the dealer I bought the 2013 from (Rick Case) and pre-ordered a Yellow LOADED 2014 - Very exciting. I had reached out to Carriage too in Gainsville to see if they did have 2014s in ... Not at that time. So I'll wait until my Yellow one comes in. Next day ... I get an excited call from Megan - the 2014s were in! Truck had just come in and there was a loaded Yellow one. Even better, a second truck was coming in at midnight. Rick Case wasn't getting my car in until mid November ... she explained that Carriage Kia was a 'preferred dealer'. To make it even sweeter, they'd match the deal offered from Rick Case and the best part was the current promotion being offered on Kia trade-ins because of the shortage in inventory. I'm alll about a good deal so I left work and drove up to Gainsville. 1 1/2 hours. Ever drive up Scenic Highway? Nightmare. Megan and I at this point had had many conversations. She was aware that I was coming ... and I did. This is when everything goes to xxxx in a sleigh. Megan NEVER came out to meet me despite being able to SEE her through the glass windows. Receptionist pointed her out for me. Called again. Still no Megan. Finally just called to have another sales guy come. I'm excitedly telling him 'I'm here to see the '14' and I'm taking it with me!" I figure it's a lost sale for Megan - doesn't bother me - lucky guy is about to get a $25,000 sale. My jaw Hit The Floor when he announced that they don't have the Souls in ... No trucks ... Where did I get that from? ... and a bunch of apologies. LIES. Everything Megan told me was a LIE!! Tyler, the manager. comes out after several minutes and a couple of requests to speak with management ... and he's questioning me about how long it really took to get there from Snellville - WHAT?! This is exactly why the general public perceives 'car salesmen' the way they do. Bad business Carriage. So, I'll be taking my $25K back to Rick Case. I hope my reader will reconsider business with Carriage given the condoning of an utter misrepresentation by an agent in order to get prospect on their showroom floor. More
I entered the dealership just to view the Kia Cadenza. After talking to Kayce and Chuck and then taking a test drive I decided to ask what kind of a deal they could do for me . I had a Nissan Altima (2011 After talking to Kayce and Chuck and then taking a test drive I decided to ask what kind of a deal they could do for me . I had a Nissan Altima (2011) which had a lease balance. I was very happy with the deal they offered. So much so that we closed the deal that very day and I drove out with a new Kia Cadenza. I was very impressed by the way my wife and I were treated every step of the way. There was no undue pressure to make a deal and we were treated with professional courtesy along with what I felt was "REAL" friendliness. I would recommend this dealership to anyone interested in purchasing a new car. More
We went to Kia to get our oil changed and tires rotated but decided while there to trade our 2012 Alien Green Kia in. Meagan worked well with us and we were excited to buy a 2013 Alien green Kia.

Salesperson should be more selective in what they say they can deliver. I was looking for a Sorento LX AWD, 6 cyl engine and somehow they couldn't find one after they said they could get any car that not they can deliver. I was looking for a Sorento LX AWD, 6 cyl engine and somehow they couldn't find one after they said they could get any car that not on the lot in 24 hours. But once I decided to go with the FWD, they did everything they could to make it right. *I would prefer Red Lobster gift card* More
My wife and I had an exceptionally good experience in purchasing our 2014 Kia Sorento from Carriage Kia. Our excellent salesperson was a very friendly, polite, and knowledgeable young man. We were very i purchasing our 2014 Kia Sorento from Carriage Kia. Our excellent salesperson was a very friendly, polite, and knowledgeable young man. We were very impressed with his professionalism and his attention to details. We had not purchased a new vehicle in 10+ years before making this purchase and so we did not know quite what to expect . Consequently,we were a little apprehensive. The overall friendliness and easygoing demeanor of the staff at Carriage Kia immediately put us at ease. My wife and I have purchased several new cars over our lifetimes. However, we have never until now had anyone to explain the features of a car in detail to us. What a plus this is! Our delivery person was excellent. He explained how each of the features on our new Kia Sorento works. We are very pleased with our purchase and we would not hesitate to recommend Carriage Kia to others who are in the market to purchase a vehicle.

This was my first experience with Kia. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the dealership. John Winblood went above and beyond to help us get a new van. We were happy with our Honda Odysse impressed with the cleanliness of the dealership. John Winblood went above and beyond to help us get a new van. We were happy with our Honda Odyssey but when we received a mailer we decided to check it out. We were able to get a much lower interest rate and a brand new sedona. John was courteous and knowledgeable about the vehicles on the lot and helped us make the best decision for us. He was honest about DVD players and made sure we understood the mechanics of the sedona. Even though it was very late on a Saturday evening he never tried to rush us or make us feel like he had other places to be. He offered us coffee and water and even fixed the coffee for us and remembered how we took it. I would recommend Kia and John to any of my friends and associates looking for a new vehicle. More
This was the most pleasurable car buying experience I have ever had. Our sales associate was fantastic. I appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness. I cannot remember the finance guy's name, but he have ever had. Our sales associate was fantastic. I appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness. I cannot remember the finance guy's name, but he worked extra hard on our behalf as well. I would definitely go back. Beyond that, I simply love my Kia Optima. More
