Both Joey and Rebecca worked in o Joey was very helpful and listened to our needs. He took us to a car that ended up to be a good fit for my daughter.

Above and Beyond... Sold my old car faster than expected and found myself car-less. Had previously driven a 2016 kia soul, knew what I wanted to pay, color etc. No BS, no Sold my old car faster than expected and found myself car-less. Had previously driven a 2016 kia soul, knew what I wanted to pay, color etc. No BS, no back and forth...just clear communication! They had the car I wanted, for what I was willing to pay and DELIVERED it on EASTER Sunday of all days all the way to Junction City! Shout out to the fella I worked with, Steve Kaney! The guy is great to work with! Nice, calm, clear etc. My car buying was surprisingly smooth!!! I highly recommend! More
Wonderful experience My husband and I have bought two new cars from this dealership in the last month. Everyone was so easy to work with, we were not pushed into any car. My husband and I have bought two new cars from this dealership in the last month. Everyone was so easy to work with, we were not pushed into any car. They gave us exactly what we wanted at an excellent price! Particularly Ryan in sales, and Rebecca in finance, they are both professional and personable! Wonderful experience! We will definitely be back when we decide to upgrade! More
Arrived in a rental, departed in a new car. After visiting so many dealerships, it is easy to get discouraged. However, the visit to Ron Tonkin Kia was worth it! The interactions I had with bo After visiting so many dealerships, it is easy to get discouraged. However, the visit to Ron Tonkin Kia was worth it! The interactions I had with both the management and the salesperson were above expectations. Sincerely nice and pleasant people to be with. I never expected I could have so much fun at a dealership, but the salesperson and I had such a great time interacting. When it came to price, this place offered the best bang for your buck. I have spent a couple weeks perusing ads, reviews, etc. and finally getting reasonable offers was so rewarding. The salesperson even followed me as I drove to drop off my rental car. In and out and more satisfied than ever. Save yourself the headache and just start here. More

My husband and I purchased a 2012 Kia Sorento, brand new off the lot. The dealership obtained this vehicle from another dealership, because they did not have what we wanted. The car arrived damaged, and Ron off the lot. The dealership obtained this vehicle from another dealership, because they did not have what we wanted. The car arrived damaged, and Ron Tonkin assured us they would make our vehicle "new" again and all items would be fixed 100%. We really enjoyed our saleswoman , who was very nice, but felt pressured because we really needed to replace our second car. Items needing to be repaired were noted in writing, and we signed the paperwork, purchasing the car for full sticker price. That's where our trouble began. We took a trip out of state in the car shortly after purchase, and brought the car into the dealership to have the repairs we had been promised completed when we returned ( we had had to reschedule an appointment before our trip because of illness). I was told we would have a loaner car- when we arrived, there was none and I was sent to a rental agency down the street, where even after assurances that the dealership would cover the cost, a rental charge was placed on my debit card for the rental car. The car I received was FILTHY. When I arrived to pick up my car, it was Friday the 13th. I explained my dissatisfaction at having to pay for the rental, and the service manager told me had "no idea" that customers were being charged for deposits on these cars, and he would "look into that." I was also told my car was "overdue" for an oil change, at 4,800 miles. I was told the Kia service manual I was provided was "wrong" and that our salesperson was "wrong" when she had read us the maintenance recommended by Kia. The service manager then admitted to me that it is the dealership that recommends oil change every 3500 miles, and that he "personally owns 2 Kias" and changes the oil every 2000 miles. Thats fraud to drum up extra revenue for the dealership. I left with my car, and unfortunately, did not do a full inspection of the car at the lot. After stopping for groceries, I found bumper damage, and black marks all over the back interior and headliner of my car. I immediately called the dealership and the service manager A) apologized to me B) said it has been a "horrible" day and C) promised me that if I brought the car in again, the dealership would fix all damages to my car. I returned with the car, and this time a very nice loaner car was waiting for me. When I returned to pick up my car, not only had the repairs NOT been completed to my satisfaction ( and I stated this in writing upon pickup) the service manager was now cold, rude, and arrogant. He now informed me that the dealership had previously noted damage to my car, and so "as a courtesy" had buffed my bumper, but that is all they were willing to do! This was a BRAND NEW CAR! It had no scratches, dents dings or damage when I brought it in to be repaired, and I have copies of all repair paperwork. I also have time and date stamped photos that show damage to my car upon leaving the dealership the day the "repairs" were shoddily done. I left my number and name and purchase date at the dealership with the salesperson who sold us our car, and the owner/general manager NEVER returned my call. I filed a complaint with Kia corporate, and worked with them ( they immediately sided with the dealership, even though I had photos, video and my service printouts showing no damage) and they quit returning my calls. I didn't ask for a new car, any monetary offers, or anything but my $31,000 car to be in the same condition it should have been when I bought it. Excuses from the service manager were "well , you had a lot of stuff in your car when you brought it to us." Yes, I sure did. I had a small Rubbermaid tray of cleaning supplies and a plastic bag of rags, a 12x12x12 box being mailed out of state, a fabric bin full of folded cloth grocery bags, and a brown grocery bag full of clothes going to Goodwill. Not one of those items could have caused black marks around the site of the damage, which is on the roof and side of the car, around what they repaired. We also have a ticking noise when the fan and air conditioner are used, a fact we immediately noted. The dealership says "cannot duplicate", even though we have video of the car and you can clearly hear the loud ticking. Ron Tonkin told us "Kia corporate doesn't care that you have video, they only go by what we tell them. " We are DEEPLY dissatisfied with this dealership, and are having our scheduled maintenance done elsewhere. We do not recommend this dealership as a place that stands behind their vehicles or their service. They are dishonest and deceitful. We have paperwork, phone records, photos and video to backup everything stated here. More
Derek went above and beyond what I expected to get the the deal I wanted on precisely the car I wanted. He did most of the work over the phone and I spent barely an hour of my time in the dealership. I re the deal I wanted on precisely the car I wanted. He did most of the work over the phone and I spent barely an hour of my time in the dealership. I really felt as if he bent over backward to accommodate me. I've bought my last two cars here and it's always been my preferred dealership but this time was exceptional. No pressure to get what I didn't want and was treated with respect the entire time. More
We called Ron Tonkin Chevy dealership on Saturday asking to go in and see a Toyota truck. He said it was at a neighboring dealership but he could have it brought to them. He called us Sunday morning to info to go in and see a Toyota truck. He said it was at a neighboring dealership but he could have it brought to them. He called us Sunday morning to inform it was a Ron Tonkin Kia specialty car and had to be sold there. We said fine and called Ron Tonkin Kia. We asked if we could come see the truck. He said he wanted to make sure it was still there and he would call us back. He called back to let us know it was in the shop. We asked when it would be out. he said Monday, so we set up an appointment for Monday at 3pm. We get there and are told they can't sell the truck because they just found out 15 minutes before we arrived that there is frame damage. As we were leaving they were trying to get us to look at other cars(much more expensive and not in our price range). I feel like they only wanted to get us into the dealership to try and sell us something else and that there was nothing even wrong with the truck. We will never deal with them again and I suggest you stay as far away from them as possible. More
We went to this dealership twice and was assisted by the same salesman. The fist time we sat inside a car where, after starting the engine, noticed the check engine light was on. In addition, something wa same salesman. The fist time we sat inside a car where, after starting the engine, noticed the check engine light was on. In addition, something was squealing so loud we were uncomfortable to drive it and left. The second time we went was because we found another car on Craig's List and it looked nice at first. After a mile or so of test driving, this car also started making a squealing noise. Even though we were going to try and make a deal, this salesman showed no interest in even talking to us when he found out we wanted to trade in an older car and suggested we just sell it our self. We were offered no hospitality and didn't even sit at a desk but were told to wait in the lobby. It was the most uncomfortable and insulting experience we have had in a long time. This experience fits the stereotypical "used car salesman" and we would never recommend anyone shop here. More
I'm sad to say that I seldom take the time to write a review, good or bad, to share my experiences with buying transactions. I just had to make time to do this one. I've purchased many cars over the ye review, good or bad, to share my experiences with buying transactions. I just had to make time to do this one. I've purchased many cars over the years and I've had fair customer service and sometimes even good. This is my first time dealing with Tonkin Kia and my experience was OUTSTANDING! Much of the reason for that has to do with the sales rep who made sure I understood everything about my new car and bent over backwards to make sure that I was able to have a smooth car buying experience. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone who asked. Great job! More
