STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP! BEWARE OF HIDDEN COSTS!! I come to McGrath Arlington Kia to buy the car on April 02, 2019. The listing price was $13,900. Chester (salesman), showed me a quote with lots of ad I come to McGrath Arlington Kia to buy the car on April 02, 2019. The listing price was $13,900. Chester (salesman), showed me a quote with lots of additional fees, especially the $848.81 for Processing/Doc fees. The manager (John) came out and explained that this fee included both Doc fee ($179) and the rest in the $848.81 was for "processing". I did not accept this outrageous fee for processing and he agreed to remove this, along with the outrageous protection plan $1,995. In the end, we both agreed on the original advertised price ($13,900), plus doc fee, title transfer, tax, which I thought was just standard fee. The next day after the purchase, I discovered that the price of the vehicle has become $14,302 in my receipt ($402 more than the agreed vehicle price). I come to see Chester and he agreed that the sale price was $13,900, and said that there may be some mistake and he promised he will talk to John (manager) and TJ (finance) to clarify and correct it. The 2nd time I come on an appointment with Chester and John, Jim (another finance guy) come out and said he will take care of my case. Jim repeatedly mentioned that the total price in the receipt was what we agreed on, which was not. How would I come to buy a car on an ad price of $13,900, and end up agreed buying it for $14,302? What is the $402 was for? Jim even said the company can charge whatever fee they want! More
Bait and switch Total bait and switch. I leased a Kia Sorento from them 8 months ago. Ryan (same salesman who worked with me before) called me unsolicited telling m Total bait and switch. I leased a Kia Sorento from them 8 months ago. Ryan (same salesman who worked with me before) called me unsolicited telling me I could lease a new Telluride for same payment with no cash out of pocket, same mileage and warranty because Kia is going to phase out the Sorento. When I got to the dealer my payment was over $150 more and I would have to pay $3,000 in negative equity. Total scam just to get me in the door. Do not waste your time with this dealer. David Y. More

This was followed by a road test including highway and local driving. As with any car purchase there are always negotiations. This dealership was the most professional negotiator in my car search. After purchase followup questions have been answered promptly. More
GREAT DEALERSHIP TO BUY FROM Came in this morning to look at a Certified Pre Owned Optima after have THE WORST experience yesterday at Napleton Kia Elmhurst were they are as rude Came in this morning to look at a Certified Pre Owned Optima after have THE WORST experience yesterday at Napleton Kia Elmhurst were they are as rude as I've EVER experienced, the car wouldn't even start the salesman Adam was just interested in knowing how much I had to put down and I HAD to fill out a credit application JUST TO TEST DRIVE?????? Complete opposite at McGrath. Came in this morning had an appointment with Dan who set me up with George the product specialist who know Everything about the vehicle had it cleaned and ready did a thorough presentation and politely asked if we liked the vehicle if he could earn our business. YES. little back and forth with finalizing on the deal but we got a great deal and are extremely happy to do business with McGrath. Everyone is professional and friendly from the internet dept to managers and finance person too, we are so happy with this experience I couldn't wait to let other potential buyers know where to go when considering buying a car and im writing this as I wait for my vehicle to come from detail - Oh Yeah, they do a Full Detail on the car before taking it home. Thanks again McGrath Team More

Terrible dealership The upsells were just ridiculous and flat out embarrassing for not only the sales manager but for your dealership. The manager knew we had cash of 18, The upsells were just ridiculous and flat out embarrassing for not only the sales manager but for your dealership. The manager knew we had cash of 18,600 out the door. He came out with a sheet if we financed it and how we would be at 25k. Why? Do people really bite on this? We were about $400 off and we walked. I'm in sales and I'm all about the upsell but this man should be embarrassed. I felt bad for the salesman as his manager brought over this sheet with crazy numbers on it and he had his head in his hands. Like I said I get that money needs to be made however it won't be made on me More
Horrible horrible service We have had horrible experience with this dealership from day one. On January 25, 2019 we were told a certain price but than they changed the price on We have had horrible experience with this dealership from day one. On January 25, 2019 we were told a certain price but than they changed the price on January 26, 2019. We still ended up purchasing vehicle for the price they asked since we live 2.5 hours away. We were told by our sales man Paul that we will receive second key in mail. Which still hasn’t happened month later. And nobody and dealership wants to take responsibility. Also Paul doesn’t reply to phone calls, text etc. we had to call everyday just to get our paperwork for license plate and registration. Which was supposed to be received within 10 days and it has been a month. My temporary registration expires in 3 days and I was told it is okay to drive around with no registration. Just horrible service. Do not ever go here. Their managers do not want to take any responsibility as well. More
Purchased a 2008 Hyundai Tucson We purchased a 2008 Hyundai Tucson at this dealership last month (01.20.19) and we are very happy the way we were treated from all the staff, especial We purchased a 2008 Hyundai Tucson at this dealership last month (01.20.19) and we are very happy the way we were treated from all the staff, especially from Mr. Chet Nichols. He did an excellent job making us feel comfortable and welcomed. Chet provided detailed information on all the questions we had. He was big part of the reason we decided to purchase the vehicle, since we felt we could trust his advice. The car was in good condition and so far is running well. The finance department was a little busy at that time, delaying a little the purchase process, but no big issue. We still believe we got a very good vehicle for a very good price. Thank you Chet and McGrath Arlington Kia! ILIR SAKO - Client More
