Great sales / finance staff When I pulled on the lot for the first time I was in a bad mood. I had only been to one other dealer and was already frustrated. My sons and I had jus When I pulled on the lot for the first time I was in a bad mood. I had only been to one other dealer and was already frustrated. My sons and I had just got out of our truck and here comes a salesman. I though wow here we go again, my feet have just hit the ground and here comes the vultures. That is how my car buying experiences have always been. This time it wasn't. The salesman's name was Aaron Wright. He walked over, said hi I'm Aaron, let me know if I can help you. I was shocked that I didn't get the same old car salesman bologna like we've got some great deals today on our brand new super rockets with triple shift side pocket engines and look how good our prices are now let's go sign some papers. He just let me know he was available if I had any questions. It put me at ease and I told him what we were looking for. Aaron showed us a 2014 Sorrento first. For some reason it just wasn't a hit with me. He asked if I would be interested in seeing a 2016. We walked over to it and it was great. He went with us on a test ride and talked about music and life. Again, no fancy car salesman talk. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions but, you guessed it, with no car sales pushyness. When we got back to the lot he asked if I'd like to see some other features of the Sorrento. Again, he asked, he didn't push. Now I guess I may be different than most people and maybe a dealership would want their salesman to be more aggressive but I can tell you for sure that I would have drove off and not bought from Ted Russell if Aaron was a "typical" salesman. I generally know what vehicle I want, I'm simply shopping for the right salesman. I'm very pleased to have found a salesman that met my needs over his desire to sale a car. This is my first KIA and so far I am completely sold on them. All of the staff that I dealt with at Ted Russell was great and I look forward to seeing them in the future. They have my vote for best dealer ever. Thanks, Brian Ray. More

Car buying experience I was impressed by the attention and willingness to suggest available options to my initial thoughts about buying a basic Sorrento. I ultimately bough I was impressed by the attention and willingness to suggest available options to my initial thoughts about buying a basic Sorrento. I ultimately bought a Sportage with a wide range of options I had decided to forego. Every person I had contact with during the process was well trained and thorough in explaining the "nuts and bolts" of the cars I test drove and pointed out the differences in each car. Finance department and sales manager were extremely helpful in closing the purchase. The sales person Dave Sutton was patient and determined from start to finish. If service is as friendly and provides quality service on a time efficient basis, I will continue to use this dealership throughout the time I own the suv. More

Wonderfil experience I would like to start out saying that Matt Warner is a very positive, up beat sales rep. He addressed all of our questions to the best of his knowled I would like to start out saying that Matt Warner is a very positive, up beat sales rep. He addressed all of our questions to the best of his knowledge and if there was something he was not sure about, he got right back with us. When test driving the car, he answered all of our questions and had great knowledge of the vehicle we were interested in. Matt worked very hard in getting us into the vehicle we wanted. I have great confidence in Matt and would definitely be a return customer! More
Good! Dave worked hard to secure us a quality vehicle at a great rate (considering our BK)...I would have liked more than one option to choose from though.

I like the Borrego..but it is LARGE and I would have liked something smaller to compare with. Overall, a good experience and I would be glad to recommend them! More
