Kia of Irvine

Sameer made it happen! Hubby and I were ready to move forward with a car purchase since our lease was up. We were looking for a Sorento and was only going to pull the trigge Hubby and I were ready to move forward with a car purchase since our lease was up. We were looking for a Sorento and was only going to pull the trigger if the price and monthly payment was right. After an hour of negotiation and compromise on my end, we ended up getting the payment where I wanted it. Sameer is a nice, family man. I’ll recommend him to friends and family looking for a Kia. Btw, I love my Kia way more than my GMC Acadia. Very happy with my purchase. More

Sales was great, but finance guy almost blew the deal! I gave this dealership 5 stars because overall they were excellent. Howard Scharr the sales rep answered all my questions and was engaging but not pus I gave this dealership 5 stars because overall they were excellent. Howard Scharr the sales rep answered all my questions and was engaging but not pushy, Howard Scharr gets 5/5. Danielle (Ortega i think?) helped me navigate some details about my deal over the phone and was an absolute pleasure to speak with. Even though she was clearly busy making things happen around the showroom, she took the time to say hello with a warm sincere smile. Danielle gets 5/5 for the customer service. Then we have the finance guy Sammy Sheick... worst experience I have ever had the displeasure of enduring. He was rude, and behaved as if I was keeping him from a lunch date with Kate Upton. Not sure he understands that in order to upsell something you have to use charm, customer service skills, with a pinch of charisma. He decided to go with dumpy attitude and rudeness for his big pitch. This man has the body language of a moody preteen girl. I can understand feeling pressure to upsell warranties, and feeling upset when it doesnt work out. But Mr Sammy decided his best shot to sell me was with negativity and a nasty attitude that rivals Gordon Ramsey. After several minutes of him rudely ordering me through the paperwork, I asked if he could point out were the CPO info was so I could review it. He told me he wasnt going to make any special exceptions on how he does his paperwork, and blew off my concerns entirely. He insisted that I should sign everything and it could be explained by the salesman Howard later. He even went as far as to tell me to hurry up because he had another deal he had to get to next, but he said "not to be rude, but... " so that made it ok right? Every word coming from his mouth was arrogant and had an air of entitlement. If I had not flown in from out of state I would have walked out on the deal. He was that wretched. He has the customer service skills of a morgue worker. Im not sure how he has managed to stay employed acting like that during a business deal. Kia of Irvine can do better than Sammy, there are plenty of people who can do finance and act civilized. He is doing real damage to the long term health of the dealership even if he makes them short term gains. I wonder how many customers have decided they would rather pay more at Carvana or other online retailer than ever deal with Sammy again? Sammy Sheick gets negative five out of five. I feel bad for his co workers most of all, they have to deal with him everyday. The Kia Sorento I got for my wife is great and she loves it. More

Great! The total transaction experience was positive Over the years I have bought several vehicles both via the internet and in dealerships. My dealership experiences had typically been painful with lon Over the years I have bought several vehicles both via the internet and in dealerships. My dealership experiences had typically been painful with long drawn out transaction times as the dealership dragged me through their, for the most part, irritating pressure sales process. I was pleasantly surprised when Kia of Irvine valued my time and moved the transaction along efficiently but, at the same time, ensured they addressed all my questions. I never felt pressured nor manipulated. Kia cars are a great product and this dealership complements this nicely with great service. More
