Service communication could be better. On our first visit, Service had to be reminded twice to work on our car. On our second visit, there was no communication in Service that our car was On our first visit, Service had to be reminded twice to work on our car. On our second visit, there was no communication in Service that our car was there and we had to reschedule. Service did make up for this by telling us that they would pick up our cars to work on them and bring them back. Petros is a wonderful salesman! More

Chet is unlike any salesman I met. He actually made car buying fun. His laid back, no pressure approach made my day while we were waiting, he told a wide range of stories. Conversation He actually made car buying fun. His laid back, no pressure approach made my day while we were waiting, he told a wide range of stories. Conversation focused on cars but spanned music, film, theatre, etc. Thank you Chet, the whole team is rated KE, for Kia excellence. More

I recently purchased a 2026 Kia Carnival SX Prestige from McGrath Arlington Kia in Palatine on July 23, 2025, and initially praised the sales process with Jarek and Pawel for being smooth. However, after rev McGrath Arlington Kia in Palatine on July 23, 2025, and initially praised the sales process with Jarek and Pawel for being smooth. However, after reviewing the paperwork at home, I am deeply disappointed. Despite explicitly telling Jarek I wanted no extra warranties, two unauthorized EG Assurance warranties ($2,000 and $995) were added to my contract. The finance department, led by Pawel, applied a 7.09% APR through Wells Fargo, higher than Kia Financing’s 5.73%, without explanation. Additionally, a $15 Tire Fee and $35 Electronic Filing Fee were not clearly disclosed. I emailed the dealer with questions about these issues, but they have not responded, showing a complete lack of transparency and accountability. As a repeat Kia owner, I expected an honest process, not deceptive practices. I wish I could give zero stars and will not return to McGrath Arlington Kia for maintenance or future purchases. More

Jared and Chris were two of the nicest and most professional salesmen we’ve ever met. They made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Everything about the deal was upfront and transparent — no surprises, no pressure. We were so impressed that we even referred our daughter to them afterward. If you’re looking for a dealership that treats you right, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! — George P More

Peter is the best salesman I’ve ever had. He was patient, very knowledgeable and truly had my best interests at heart. He wasn’t pushy or arrogant at all, a really down to earth guy!
