We actually didn’t come in intending to buy a vehicle, but their thoughtful and transparent approach gave us every reason to keep listening and ultimately feel comfortable moving forward. At no point did we feel pressured. When we asked questions, they answered them directly. When we needed time or space to talk, they gave it to us. The entire experience felt centered on helping us make the right decision for our family—not simply closing a sale. This is the second Kia I’ve purchased from Gay Family Kia—my first was in 2013 and now another in 2026. Different sales team, different building, but the same client-first service. Dr. Mike even gave my wife and me a handwritten personal note, which was a genuinely thoughtful way to end the experience. We highly recommend Dr. Mike, Patrick, and the Gay Family Kia team! More

We had such a great experience with Gay Family Kia! We recently purchased our daughter’s car from them, and from start to finish, the entire experience was easy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. We recently purchased our daughter’s car from them, and from start to finish, the entire experience was easy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. There was absolutely zero pressure to purchase, which made such a difference. Everyone we worked with was kind, helpful, and truly seemed to care about finding the right car for our daughter rather than just making a sale. Just good people and good vibes all around! A special thank you to Dr. Mike, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made the process fun, relaxed, and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would definitely recommend Gay Family Kia to anyone looking for a great car-buying experience! More
