Purchasing a new Kia from here may not be as bad as what i have gone through. Let me start this off by saying that some of the issues may have been on my end. I bought a 2006 VW gli about 304 months ago and i have gone through. Let me start this off by saying that some of the issues may have been on my end. I bought a 2006 VW gli about 304 months ago and thought it was going to be a great purchase, Looking up the value on KBB Kia dealership seemed to be right on with the pricing from what i could tell. the two people i dealth with Chris burke and Dennis were excelent to deal with, I would have no issues dealing with them again if i wanted to buy a new kia. Or if a family member wanted to buy a new car. But unfortunately this was not the case for me. Once i drove the car home i noticed alot of things that were wrong with the car physically that i didnt notice when sold the car. The liner of the cars interior is ripped, the gas tank lid didnt shut properly, different areas of the silver paint has chipped off. These issues all would fall under my own fault because i should have noticed them, but i think it would be nice if something was that screwed up that they would atleast try to fix it. Here is where the problem really started. After realizing that the issues on the inside of the car can be overlooked by compairing it to the xxx i drove before. i decided to forget about them and just enjoy the car for what it is. Then a few days after the purchase the CEL came one. This seemed strange because they said they had worked on it when i bought the car and it should drive like brand new. This of course was not true and if it was true then what comes next means they have no idea how to work on anything other then a KIA (which i suppose is fine sine i bought a VW at a kia dealer). The Check Engine light was originally came up as a Coil Pack error. Which VW actually had a Recall on so that seems interesting that it wouldent have been fixed when they worked on the car. So i brought in the car and they stated that it was probably due to the fact that someone had used the wrong type of Spark plug in the car and that was setting off the CEL, another thing that one would think would have been noticed when they "worked on the car". They gave me back the car and within a few days it came back on and i brought it back in. They looked at the car for about 2 weeks aimlessly trying to figure out what was wrong with it untill finally they decided that they had no idea and brought it to YBH (which if you live in the area and want a VW, i would recommend them 100 percent). At YBH they replaced the wireing to the coil pack and gave it back to kia, then they called me and said to come pick up my car and so i came to get it, Once i got into the shop area they came up to me and told me that it infact had the CEL on once again and would need to take it back to YBH. took it back and it turned out to be a Fuel Injector that went bad. After they fixed that issue i came and picked up my car and they said they would send out the paperwork to my address (which i still havent received). That brings me to about the 3rd month of owning a car that the Dealership had longer then i have. I drive around for a few days and i notice that the car starts to smell of gas when i drive. A smell that really doesnt do it for me as it probably doesnt for many people so i give the dealership a call and let them know this, They told me to come in and they would take a look at it. Apparently they thought that it was because when they redid the fuel injector gas got onto the airfilter and that was the smell. so they cleaned off the engine and replaced the airfilter. I drove it for a few more days and the smell kept coming. Then my best friend the CEL came back on again so i took it into the shop one more time at which point i was told that they could not help me and that i should take it to a VW dealer and it should be covered under warrenty (which it wasnt under the one that i had). Now to be fair nothing has cost me a penny up untill this point and they gave me a loaner kia for the 4 weeks they had my car. So i remained calm when they pretty much xx'ed thier way through my issues. I called YBH (which i stll would recommend, Excelent service, Decent pricing, and if a recall does show up, they do not hesitate resolving the issue for you). and tell them the issue. no more then 2 minutes after i tell them that it smells like gas in my car they tell me to bring it in right away, something that the KIA dealer just kinda pushed off and had me drive a week while the smell ran through my car. I took it into them and they found that it was a Fuel Evap Pump that was the issue and i had to pay 500 for the part and installation. I would never buy a used car from KIA of West Chester again, and it would be darn difficult to try to even recommend them to anyone else. More

I had an wonderful time dealing with the sales person and sales manager. They were informative, concerned about my budget, and listened to my needs. I bought the new Sorento I always wanted and left with it sales manager. They were informative, concerned about my budget, and listened to my needs. I bought the new Sorento I always wanted and left with it the same day. So far, I've had the vehicle for 3 months and the follow up with Chris was helpful, and my first oil change is scheduled for next week. More

Be very cautious of the deal they are currently offering - No Payments til July. They would not disclose the name of the bank and interest rate until I agreed on a monthly payment. Bad feeling about the dea - No Payments til July. They would not disclose the name of the bank and interest rate until I agreed on a monthly payment. Bad feeling about the deal I was offered. Suspect the final offer came back higher than what I was willing to pay just to get me out of there. It worked. More

I received an email that ALL Kias were being sold below invoice prices, and that they were offing 120% value for trade-ins. But the price for the car I was interested in they wanted full MSRP! For trade invoice prices, and that they were offing 120% value for trade-ins. But the price for the car I was interested in they wanted full MSRP! For trade value they only offered me 90% of KBB value (and my car is in excellent condition, with low miles). The email specifically said that new models of the vehicle I was interested in have arrived just in time for invoice sale. I guess since my salesman was the guy in the commercials they thought I would pay more. Prices everywhere else were $1,000 less. Their commercials are such BULL! all lies! This place is CRA-ZY, if they think I was going to pay MSRP. More

I went to KIA of West Chester for about 3 years. The service was impeccably done when Charlie was supervising the work or doing the work himself. Unfortunately Charlie took a leave of absence and I had service was impeccably done when Charlie was supervising the work or doing the work himself. Unfortunately Charlie took a leave of absence and I had the bad idea to let them change my timing belt. The belt was never correctly adjusted. I called them to make an appointment but they wanted me to leave the car for a couple days. 6 months later the belt and the axis broke. Do not go there unless Charlie is present. The rest of the technicians are useless. More

Went to purchase a new car. Spent hours at dealership, in negotiations and test drive. Agent went to sales manager to get revised price..after 20 minutes of waiting..again...I noticed all the sales agents ha negotiations and test drive. Agent went to sales manager to get revised price..after 20 minutes of waiting..again...I noticed all the sales agents had left all customers in showroom while yucking it up with sales manager in his office. Tey were looking at something on his PC and all laughing. Disgraceful! My time is valuable and didn't appreciate them goofing off when I was there to purchase a car. I walked out. Was chased after by another agent..was told they were watching a motivational sales presentation...first of all shouldn't this be done when there are no customers. Second of all..they weren't watching a sales motivational presentation. More

I had an EXCELLENT experience with Kia of West Chester!!!! I worked with Mike Tomb (VIP Client Manager), Joey Spadaro (General Manager), and Clay Mabie. From the moment I walked in I was treated r Chester!!!! I worked with Mike Tomb (VIP Client Manager), Joey Spadaro (General Manager), and Clay Mabie. From the moment I walked in I was treated respectful and did not feel hasseled or pressured by anyone to make a deal! Mike was awesome and really went above and beyond...listened to me when I told him what I wanted and when I arrived he had already preselected several cars for me to look at!!! Managers Joey & Clay were great too!!! They all took the time with me to help ensure I was getting what I wanted!!! I have definetely shopped around with other dealers and had horrible experiences with them being rude and giving me the time of day!! Needless to say I ended up leaving very happily with a 2011 Kia Sorrento!!! I would highly recommend Kia of West Chester and I do to my family & friends!!! Jim Sipala your staff at West Chester sparkles & shines!!!! More

I searched many dealers and even went here once and left. Then Marshall, who was off the day I went in, called me and after a long talk I went back in. Had it not been for Marshall, I would never have steppe Then Marshall, who was off the day I went in, called me and after a long talk I went back in. Had it not been for Marshall, I would never have stepped foot back in the dealership. His professionalism, respect for me, knowledge and efforts made my experience here a 5. In my opinion he should be the manager. More
