Romeo Kia of Kingston

The problem was the financial management and customer service, both oxymorons. Example: When discussing financing vehicle, I dealt with three “ finance managers,” two out of the three who were, quite honestly, duplicitous. Case in point: yelling when caught in a misstatement. The K was drawn screwing up my name, which when pointed out, blame was apportioned to me. I reached out to general manager, and after an email & phone call, he corrected the problem. Then the issue with DMV registration sticker and refund check because I was “ overcharged.” Claims made KIA received sticker from DMV, and it with refund check was mailed. 14 days— nada. The saga begins. Yelling “finance managers,” no one taking responsibility, deflecting is an understatement. Finally general manager John, after two emails & 2 calls, states they will go to DMV ( after the other finance manager told me “you go pay the $3.00 and get the sticker,”) and a new refund check will be cut. Finally resolved. Btw, still nothing received in mail. Me thinks, never sent… full of horse pucky, B/c never aby issues with mail not delivered. Was it worth it? Had car a month. Love it although with the technology it is a challenge. So far ( minus tech ) love the vehicle. The boys at ROMRO KIA- no such love. Need to grow up- save for Mike-a really good fellow who sold me what seems to be a terrific vehicle. PS: 2026 Niro’s are not abounding in U.S. Lucky to get it— again thanks to Mike. More

I found the dealership to be spot on with everything they told me. My salesman, Ray , was excellent. What a pleasure to deal with. To be honest with you, I came in to look at a used car. Never thought much o told me. My salesman, Ray , was excellent. What a pleasure to deal with. To be honest with you, I came in to look at a used car. Never thought much of Kia. Dealing with Ray changed my mind and made me confident in leasing a new Kia. Ray was extremely knowledgeable about the car and answered all my questions very patiently and thoroughly. This is probably the first time I bought a new vehicle without feeling I made a mistake. Thanks Ray for a pleasurable experience!! More

If you’re thinking about buying from Romeo Kia of Kingston in Lake Katrine, NY, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. My experience with them was unprofessional, dismissive, and deeply frustrating f Kingston in Lake Katrine, NY, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. My experience with them was unprofessional, dismissive, and deeply frustrating from start to finish. I purchased a 2019 Nissan Rogue on October 24, 2025. Throughout the entire sale, the manager never spoke to me directly or even made eye contact. He addressed every question and comment to my father, despite the fact that I was the buyer. As a 24‑year‑old woman, the behavior felt blatantly disrespectful and dismissive. We met at the DMV, I drove home, and did not drive it until two days later when I heard a bobbing noise coming from the rear. I immediately contacted the salesperson, and the response was dismissive. They said, “It wasn’t making a sound when I drove it to the RMV,” and was reminded that if I had bought the extended warranty that was offered, it would be covered. The salesperson also admitted at the time of the sale that they “don’t know where anything is in gas vehicles” because they drive an EV, so I’m not sure why their opinion on a mechanical issue was being treated as definitive. They said that the issue would have to be diagnosed by a mechanic in order to know if Lemon Law coverage was applicable. I brought it to two different mechanics. The second one said the rear rotors were completely rusted. I told the dealership this to which they said that rotors are considered wearable items and not covered under state warranty. Only then did they state that in order for them to address the issue, they would now need their mechanics to inspect the car at their dealership. They said that “under NY Used Car Lemon Law, the dealer who sold the vehicle is responsible for diagnosing and repairing covered issues,” despite telling me in the first place to get it diagnosed on my own and paying $200 for it. While I understand rotors are a wear‑and‑tear part, there is simply no way I caused that level of deterioration in two days. They said that the car passed NYS inspection but it also passed MA inspection when I brought it home. My best guess is that they barely passed inspection or they weren't even looked at seeing as rotors can be overlooked. It was unsafe and unreasonable to drive it back to the dealership just to hear the same thing my mechanic already confirmed, seeing as they told me to get it diagnosed by a mechanic in the first place. Their final offer was having me drive it down and that they would handle the repair, covered or not, but said nothing about payment. If you’re considering buying here, be prepared for zero post-sale support and a dismissive attitude once they have your money. I would never recommend this dealership to anyone. More

Unless you have excellent credit don't bother coming here. I had credit cards that were closed down and two late payments to Capital One because we moved and did not receive the bills. In order to get t here. I had credit cards that were closed down and two late payments to Capital One because we moved and did not receive the bills. In order to get the car, they used my husband's credit check which had no flaws. I was ready to walk, but my husband gets shy and nervous and didn't want to. I should have been told about my credit up front. I now am in the process of dealing with Capital One which is a pain also. I closed down my Capital One account on the phone after explaining the problem with the supervisor at Capital One. Capital One now has taken over Kohls accounts. As a result, we did not receive any bills from Capital One for Kohls. Nobody cares unless they are making money from you. I only found out about my credit problem on the phone before we took the car. I view this as sneaky. I will not buy another car from this Kia Dealer because I felt they really didn't care what my credit problem was. As I said before, my credit will be repaired before I need a new car. Lots of Kia dealers around. More
