We are a repeat customer with Carriage Kia in Gainesville. I purchased a 2012 Sorento with them in 2010 and loved my car and my experience with Carriage Kia. When I decided to look at the new S Gainesville. I purchased a 2012 Sorento with them in 2010 and loved my car and my experience with Carriage Kia. When I decided to look at the new Sorento because of some upgraded features, I returned to Carriage Kia. We were greeted immediately by Alex who was very helpful and found exactly what we were looking for in a new 2014 Sorento. Everyone we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. I plan to keep this car for awhile, but when we get ready to shop again, we'll probably return to Carriage Kia! More

I bought a Kia Forte Sedan a few weeks ago from Carriage. Let me say first that the car is great so far and that the price was good as best as I can tell. Now the bad. During the process the salesman w Let me say first that the car is great so far and that the price was good as best as I can tell. Now the bad. During the process the salesman wanted to see if I could qualify me for Kia financing which would result in a $500 kickback for the deal. I agreed. In addition to that the dealership without my knowledge ran the financing through three banks. That of course dings your credit rating. I still don't have a title for the car. I sent a couple of Emails to the salesperson with no response. I called the General Manager yesterday about both problems. He said he would get back to me this morning. No call. I called mid-afternoon and left a message. No call. When I called to get the contact info for Carriage's corporate offices I interestingly was put through to the General Manager. He'd had a tough day he said but couldn't quite say he was sorry that he hadn't called me back. He was very defensive about the credit inquires, assuming the salesmen, who he hadn't talked to, had gotten my permission to run the deal through the banks. Oh, the title, Georgia's fault not his. I'm on my own. Carriage is really good at robo-calls, if you like them and lack of response to problems, buy a car from Carriage. If not, go to another Kia dealership. More

My experience with Carriage Kia has been the best Ive ever had with purchasing a new or used vehicle. It is always stressful buying a new car, but it was the least stressful Id say Ive ever had. The st ever had with purchasing a new or used vehicle. It is always stressful buying a new car, but it was the least stressful Id say Ive ever had. The staff is so friendy and time passed by rather quickly. Leonard sold me the Optima and now the Forte. He has always been respectful and informative and I felt no pressure to buy. He just seemed to understand my needs, and was happy that I was happy. Chelsea way very helpful too in explaining my features and setting up my blue tooth. I think it's great that you offer this service. More
