I walked in knowing I have little to no credit, and not much good. I was very up front with the sales people about this, and about the fact I was "just browsing" at that moment. I was offered a "sign and drive" deal, which deep down felt almost too good to be true, since I knew my old vehicle was a ticking time bomb. But, knowing my old car was close to death, I decided to jump at the chance for a new car. I spent hours after a long day at work on a Saturday in the showroom fixing my insurance (which was a debacle in and of itself) signing papers, and finally being handed keys to a 2016 Kia Soul, and being told I was good to go. All I'd have to do was return Monday with a copy of my paystubs (which wouldn't print due to some issue with their printer) and proof of residency and sign one last paper and I'd be good to go.Come Monday, they still didn't have a bank decision and rescheduled me for several days later, on Thursday. When I came in Thursday morning, there was no finance manager available until later that day (and I had to be at work for several back-to-back 13 hour shifts.) I rescheduled for the following Monday. At this point I found out they were having problems with my financing, and was told I "might need a co-signer". (I don't have ANYONE available to co-sign. I was up front about this with the salespeople in the beginning, but kept being told, "oh, you have someone who'll help, we'll come up with something".)When I came in that next Monday, I was told that they were trying more banks, were giving me more for my trade, but that I was falling short on income. (Which gives lie to the "if you take home $350 a week you're approved!" bull line because I do.) I was again asked about a co-signer. And then told by Eddie, the sales manager that he still had other options, and he would get back to me the next day.More than a week came and went with NO word from anyone at Kia. I was beginning to think no news was good news until I finally spoke to someone and found out that unless I can either get a co-signer or $1500 down, that I have to turn in the Kia Soul and take back my time bomb that broke down on them.To say I'm pissed beyond belief is an understatement. I was ready to extol this dealership to the world and refer tons of people I know who are car shopping. Now, I wouldn't send my worst enemy here. I feel very let down, and like I've been scammed. I've wasted a LOT of time and worry on this the last three weeks, time I can't get back. And while I like to think everything happens for a reason, I can't see this one yet.Buyer, beware, when you drive onto this lot looking for a car, if you're like me with less than perfect credit and just want a fair deal.*Edited to add* I originally wrote this while waiting for my old car to be returned to the lot (which took several days, again with no communication from Kia.) They switched my plate back to my old car, but they never changed the registration. I found out about two hours later that I was driving a car that didn't have a tag or registration - and I found out the hard way. I also would like to add that I know this next bit is my own stupidity - but they seriously inflated the price of this car (which was why they offered 'so much for my trade'), and the APR they were going to be charging was nothing short of extortion. I was told this by a bank manager (after I went to my company's credit union to get a loan and told them what happened and showed them the paperwork.)

Javier Rodriguez helped us from start to finish. We made an appointment with him within 10 mins from our online inquiry. He met with myself and my partner and was quick to get our trade in appraised and the top dollar for pay off. He explained each step of the process and was friendly and professional. We are very happy to be part of the Kia family

This is my second Kia. My first was a Rondo. I loved that car. Based on my good experiences with Eddie in the service department, I bought another Kia. Rafael was kind and informative. He helped me through the sales process and did his utmost to make me comfortable. As long as the good service experience continues at Kia, I will always consider buying a Kia first.

Brandon Raona was the perfect example of bad salesmanship. I was so close to buying a car. I just wanted the rest of the evening to figure out how to pay for the car and talk to my dad about it. The response I got was "What does your dad make all your decisions for you?" rather than being professional and understanding my situation. His solution to this was going to run more numbers for a different car. He did this 3 times and before the third time I told him I wasn't trying to waste his time and he didn't need to look it up I just needed the night. He insisted on going to look up the information anyway and when I told him I still couldn't make the purchase until tomorrow he looked at me and asked "Do you know what the most valuable commodity is?" and I told him "Time. I'm sorry if you feel like I've wasted yours but I told you I couldn't buy today and needed to wait for tomorrow." I stood up to shake his hand-because at this point he had already lost my sale-and he just looked up me and said "Next time don't waste other people's time." So I walked out on him.

This month we purchased a new Kia Soul with the advice and guidance of sales consultant Kp Jimenez. Throughout the entire process Mr. Jimenez was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and expeditious. It was these qualities that cinched the deal and we are now very happy with our purchase. Please keep him and give him a raise. He is the best. In the future I'd like to buy another Kia from Kp.I feel as if we can trust and rely upon him.

My salesperson Jorge Chavez was a 100% professional. As a person w/extensive new and used car sales experience I found him personable, low-key and very, very comfortable to work with. I found what I wanted achieved a reasonable purchase price and the deal was done with ease. Unfortunately, my experience with the finance person was 180 degrees in the other direction. I felt that he was working from a well rehearsed script. very mechanical. If there was a bump in the process, he seemed to lose track of his direction. When I refused to take the "Gap" Insurance. He seemed offended an perplexed, then failed totake it off of my contract. I had to come back the next day to have a new contract prepared, and then he did that one wrong also. I was extremely furious with the whole finance process in general. Both my wife and I have extensive F & I backgrounds in the automobile business. I have purposely refused to tell her of these truly unfortunate experiences so as to not tarnish her first new car since 1989. I would recommend this dealership to friends who are able to obtain their won financing. Additionally, I observed several salespersons who did not seem to have any direction, goals, or purpose. The floor was very busy, yet they seemed more concerned with leaning, chatting, and otherwise disengaged. There were a couple who were 100% goal oriented. Jorge, and a young man who'se name I think is Brandon. I felt the facilities were noisier than a high school lunchroom. This was compounded by the Haitian salesman standing at the east end of the showroom and yelling to the west end. Low Class!!!---

I went to KIA ( Semoran Auto East ) looking for a convenient car for my parents. When we got to that place, everybody there was very friendly and welcoming. Michael Dede was the first one to welcomed us to that place and I must say that he was very friendly and helpful, he showed us a lot of options. Michael introduced us to Jorge Chavez he was the one who helped us with the spanish, explain everything and of course he make sure that my parents understand everything before the sale. Jorge made the purchase was a pleasant and fun experience for all of us. We are really thankful for everything and we also highly recommend this place for everyone who wants to have a excellent experience and excellent service.

I hardly ever write a review on local businesses that I frequent, but I'm writing this one to try to inform the next person that uses this dealership for service. I visited Orlando Kia east on 6/6/2016 to try to get a A/C issue fixed, when I walked in & explained my problem to the service adviser that was on duty, first thing out his mouth was" I'm sorry today is not a good day for warranty issues, & I can book an appointment for a future date."I immediately responded well, it's not a warranty, I'm paying out of pocket, that is when he said oh ok, I can get you in within the next hour. I was really annoyed at his response, but knew I wanted this issue to be resolved with my car. Now, after waiting for 2-1/2 hours he comes to me & tells me that my compressor needs to be replaced, I said ok, his response "well I don't have the part & need to order it". It took him 2-1/2 hours to come back to me & tell me this!!! ORLANDO KIA EAST, get your service department straighten out, horrible way to do business...

Went in about an hour before closing time. Nabil stayed late and worked with us to get us into the vehicle that we wanted a price that we could agree with. Only had to return early the next day to finish the financial paperwork (since it was so late when we came in the first night), but we still got to drive the new car home.

Freddy Alvria was the sales person who met me at the door. I told him exactly what I wanted and he took me straight to that vehicle and never pressured me toward anything else. He went out of his way accommodate my wishes and made the sales experience very quick and painless. The sales manager was also very helpful in keeping the process moving when things seemed to slow down waiting to get into the finance department. I would definitely recommend this dealership.

I would share everything but in summary dont expect anything but the typical games of dealerships of the 80's. Just hiding it under different promo names. I was told multiple times through email and in writing I would be getting the internet price for their kia. And i would be offered a certain amount for my trades which was also in writing, but when we sat down to go over paperwork they added 9000 to the price of their car. I wouldnt classify master of deception because they make the lies so obvious. Just plan on giving them your car and paying 6000 dollars over msrp for theirs. What they put in writing means nothing and they proved it with me. After 3 trips to dealership based on lies i gave up. I have contacted the owner and emailed the GM but no response at the time of this posting. All i ask for was honesty and to honor their offer they put in writing. I guess I will go elsewhere. I am willing to share my experience with anyone at corporate and provide all documentation to support my claims. I wanted a new car.

I had a great experience purchasing a car this weekend at this dealership. From the moment I arrived I was greeted promptly by Javier who listened to what vehicles I was interested in viewing. He showed me some new models and then we went to check out the used a lot. He showed me some used models but then showed me some different options based on what I was looking for. We went for a test drive then sat to talk about numbers. This is the part about buying a car that gives me anxiety but the staff here treated me with absolute respect. Hicham got involved a little into the discussion and while he is very good at his job he respected my thoughts and even let me leave with a quote so I could go home and think about my options. I enjoyed the car and the staff so much we were back within the hour to make the purchase. My only gripe is that it took three days for me to actually get the car due to the inspection and detailing offices being closed and/or not getting to my vehicle. And now that I finally have the car I have to return this weekend for them to reset the radio as it does not currently work due to them changing the battery on the car and not resetting the radio then. Other than that, overly positive experience. Thank you!

This was by far the best experience I have ever had shopping for a new car. I usually equate car shopping with going to the dentist, but this was quite the opposite! Anthony Sermons was my salesman and he went above and beyond with this deal. I came in looking for a new car and didn't think I could trade my car in because the condition it was in, but somehow he was able to get me way more than what it was worth. Everything from the introduction to the close was a wonderful experience. Hicham Belharsa was the finance manager I dealt with. He was very patient and took the time to explain everything I was signing. Wayne Osso is the customer relations manager at that location. Wayne took the time to be sure I was happy with everything from the car to the service. He also made sure I did a final inspection on the car before I drove away. Oludare Baloye is the manager at that location and this experience is a credit to the type of manager he is. The energy, friendliness, and all around service at this location is second to none. I definitely would rate them 10 out of 10. Thanks to them I am riding to work in my brand new KIA Soul and couldn't be happier!!!

After spending a week on the phone and being assured we had a deal based on my trade and no extra cash, then it changed they offered me 200.00 for a wholesale trade in car priced at 1500.00 and they needed a 1000.00 to do the deal the biggest BS dealership ever it's like dealing in the 60s or 70s very old school and untrained.to be fair with Anthony since the manager i made the appointment with and confirmed with the night before I was on time and he blew me off when i arrived.

Im a single mom whose daughter attends UCF. She had a problem with her vehicle. So I came to town, for the day, to take care of the issue. Her vehicle couldnt be fixed that day, so we made an appointment and they assured me they would take her back home after she dropped it off to be repaired, so she could get to her classes. While fixing the one problem, the mechanics came across other things that desperately needed to be fixed. Not wanting my daughter to go through this again, I asked for it to be fixed. And knowing that I was on a limited budget, they worked to find me the lowest prices possible for the parts. They made a very stressful time much more tolerable. They had her vehicle ready to go quickly, because they knew it was her only means of transportation and she had to get to work the next day. I felt like they REALLY cared about us...and they definitely have a repeat customer in us for any future service needs. Thank you soooo much Xavier...much appreciation to your Manager and team!!

I brought my car in for an oil change and your service staff don't come out to greet you, which is annoying but I could deal with that. Then after talking to the girl at the counter and her telling me it would be an hour and 15 minutes I go sit in your freezing waiting area. Two hours and thirty minutes later a guy calls my phone and leaves a voice mail my car is ready. Yet no one came to the waiting area to get me. So if I didn't look at my phone how much longer would I be waiting? After asking that to your rep he was like "oh thought you dropped the car off " but no apologies. And then when he tells me he is taking me to the cashier, I asked why I had the service warranty he asked why I didn't tell the original girl I had it. One you are the service rep, two no one asked me! If I didn't have this stupid service package I would never take my car back. When I was sold it, I was also told your car gets washed each time but that has never happened. So maybe take a little more focus out of sales and train your service staff on proper ways to treat your customers.

I don't like the car buying process as it can be very intimidating. I went to Orlando Kia East, and worked with Jason Ramirez. He made me feel at ease, and really took his time to explain everything to me. He was patient and I have to say very knowledgeable. I didn't buy that same day, but took the time to shop around at other dealerships. I decided to go back to Orlando Kia East because of Jason. He really went above and beyond to get the best deal for me. I don't trust car sale people, but he did a really good. I recommended a few of my friends and family to this dealership as well. Jason R. really worked hard to get the best deal for me.

Ronnie Sibera is the most fantastic Sales Manager we've ever worked with! My husband went in and spoke with him first. When he left the store, he called me and said he spoke with the nicest Internet Sales Manager, named Ronnie. He explained what Ronnie had done with him, and then what I would need to do. We walked in the door to Orlando Kia East and Ronnie was beaming! He came right over and introduced himself, invited us to have a seat and said he would be with us shortly. From the moment he sat down and started talking to us, he made us feel like family. As the night went on, you could tell he was getting worn down. Not because of his demeanor change, but because he had drank at least 7 cups of coffee since we had arrived. He worked tirelessly until we left with our new Optima that night. Our experience was fantastic with him! And to make our experience even better, he didn't even stop once our purchase was over. He has worked constantly to make sure that all of our paperwork is where it needs to be, getting our specialty parts ordered, and scheduling our maintenance for us. When it's all said and done... he tells us WE have a great family! Doesn't he have any idea how awesome he is?! I would absolutely rate our experience 5+ stars!

My wife and I have been buying and leasing vehicles for over 20 years. Our experience at Orlando Kia East was by far the best experience we have ever had at a car dealership!! We walked in the showroom and were immediately greeted by Alex Zayas. He was fantastic!! He really went above and beyond for us and answered all our questions regarding our purchase of a 2015 Kia Soul. When signing our paperwork, Hicham was fantastic as well. He took the time to make sure we received the best deal. It was not the typical "sign here" with no explanation. He treated us like family!! My wife and I are both professionals in a retail setting, and we were blown away by their extraordinary customer service. Wayne ended our great experience making sure we were taken care of and if there was anything that needed addressed before we left in our new vehicle. I have a used vehicle, and when it's time to trade in, I have no question as to where I will go for my next vehicle. It is Orlando Kia East.

They don't try to oversell you or push extended warranties or gap insurance. Alexandra sold me a Kia Soul 2015 and gave me mats and other accessories, full tank and first oil change. The guy from financing was very honest and straightforward. He told me about extended warranty and gap insurance, offered me to decrease my APR if I accepted that extended warranty, but as I didn't see much value for my particular case, he didn't try to push or convince me otherwise.Overall, an outstanding experience. If I had to give just one constructive criticism, I'd say that the loud latin music was making my ears bleed, but the whole experience was so nice that I didn't want to be rude and ask them to turn it down a little bit.

This is my second Kia purchase. As every buyer knows, you go to purchase a vehicle and you are always skeptical and hesitant just to walk in. I had previously called so they knew I was coming. I had a great experience from the phone call I made all the way to driving my new vehicle away from the lot. I had gone in for a trade. I did not expect nor did I think I was going to be approved for a new vehicle. Every one of the people I dealt with had not only great customer service skills but they also had amazing listening skills, when it came to hearing my expectations and my demands. They were all very patient as well and they made sure I understood every word before I even signed any papers. They were very relaxed and not the usual aggressive seller, hence making my experience very pleasant. Let me not forget to mention the great deal I got! This dealer gave me the best trade-in price out there, and trust me, I have been looking and checking around for almost a year! My sister also purchased her car from this dealership and I will certainly go back in the future. Thank you Kia! I absolutely LOVE my new vehicle! Woohoo! :-)

This was my first time visiting this car dealer and even though the facility is nice our sales guy had no people skills. After we test drove the car he basically rushed us to get our information in the system because the bank closed at 9 not even giving us time to think and I informed his our credit was not the best and not to run it before we made a decision. After he put our info in the system he came back with the numbers on the car, once he realized we did not want the car for that price and we weren't budging he basically dismissed us, and then he said his manager ran o credit because they were closing. I am officially done with Kia dealerships, this is the second time they have done this. He did not even offer his business card or anything. He was upset we would not take the car, not very professional at all.

Bought my 2014 Kia Soul here...and as I expected, there were the usual games that come with haggling for a price. The manager Hicham Belaharsa was down right rude. I acually refused to deal with him directly. Freddy Alvria was my salesman and he was very nice..he was the best part of the experience. But honestly what I am truly not satisfied with is the service dept. The oil changes and maintenance is very expensive and there are never any discounts or coupons worth printing. And to top it off the last time I went there and had a schedule II maintenance they did not change the cabin and air filter even though it was put down that they did. When I took my car in for an oil change at another business they showed me my filters and they were filthy. No way in that many miles those filters would look like that. When I called the service dept, I got the run around as expected. She was "pretty sure" they got changed and couldn't imagine why someone would put down that they changed them when they didn't. Really? Laziness on the part of the staff? Cost cutting by charging me for a part that wasn't actually replaced? Said she was sorry but made no offer of making it right. Surprise, surprise. Won't be bringing it back.

Don't ever visit this dealership. They will start a sale with you, and then make a half-assed effort to finish it. They tell you it's a 100% done deal, but it's actually not and they wait to tell you and make you return the car. And this isn't just the salesperson, even the manager and finances guy were in on it. They're a bunch of liars that screw you over.

I brought my Amanti in for oil change and service. I had a call that my car was ready and that everything was OK. I was ready to go but decided to read the inspection report. There were a number of issues that were flagged. Why wasn't this highlighted, when I was called so that I can authorize the repairs over the phone and not make another trip and when I came to collect the car? This is a lost opportunity for more business plus great inconvenience to the customer.This was not the first time so I would not blame the employees. It is an issue of not having a protocol to follow. A simple checklist for the employee would help : Did you inspect the car with the client on arrival and before releasing the car? Did you brief the client on the phone and when he came to collect the car about the inspection report?

I recommend the service dept. offer price comparison or even beating the competitors pricing. Also have a quiet room for people to read or relax, the TV...in lounge area and music was too loud! I would definitely recommend the service department. Not so sure about sales... On a different note the sales dept. staff is too pushy on wanting to sell cars, very old boring strategy, they need a different approach to customers looking at cars. The old sales pitch is way out of line, drop it and retrain your sales staff on more professional less sales shark approach. It is distasteful.

I came here with my fiance to see if we could turn in our 2011 Kia Soul that we had purchased at Kia West. We mostly wanted to turn it in only to have our monthly payments lowered because we were paying so much for a older car, might as well pay for a brand new car. We find out by the sales man ,Jorge, that our trade in wouldn't even matter because our 2011 was only worth 14k and Kia West screwed me over by giving me an over loan of 30k. So I explained that it's not fair that I had to pay for something that I had no control over, it was my first time buying a car and I had no idea what was what on the contract since finance nor sales wanted to explain to me. Basically, Kia West gave me a terrible terrible deal on a used 2011 Kia Soul. so Jorge helped me and my fiance to get super low interest on our new 2015 Kia Soul !. Our interest went from 19.1% to 5.9% which is amazing. Our monthly payments did not drop but we expected as much seeing as how we got the super upgraded Kia Soul. But for 40$ more it is worth it. Thank you Jorge for setting up this deal and working it out with us. It took a few hours but then again, we kept asking for new deals and such. Great service none the less. Do not ever get your car at Kia West, they are terrible.

Took my true car certificate in to purchase a new Kia. Found out it was my starting price not the car price. Be prepared to haggle a no haggle price. Showed them my email on my phone of the certificate they were to honor. When my phone came back the email had disappeared. They didn't know how, I guess it was Kia magic. If you go be prepared for games. Afterwards you will need to take a shower. I honestly would like to know how they learned their ethical values.

I checked the Kia East internet site to see what prices they had on their new Rio's. There were no prices listed. I found this quite odd. All the other dealers I checked (Ford, Chevy, Hyundai, City Kia, Deland Kia ) had prices listed on their website. I got a True Car certificate from Kia East that started at $14,700 with special dealer add-ons. These included (Special exterior and interior application, nitrogen filled tires, bug guard, special detailed pin stripes and other extras). I then stopped by Kia East to looked at what they had on the lot. After looking at several different Rio's and seeing the prices on the sticker I understood how they can offer "Up to $7000 for your trade" Melinda did a price work up for the True Car certificate. After all the other dealer fees, title, tag, taxes the OTD price came to $17,800. I asked Melinda to take off those unnecessary items (nitrogen, special applications etc) which amounted to about $2000. But she refused. I said, "thanks and have a good day". The next day I went to City Kia and ended up with a new 2015 Kia Rio without all the unnecessary add-ons for $2700 less than Kia East offer.

My sales consultant was Jorge Chavez. I can honestly say I couldn't have asked for a better car buying experience. I have a lot of animosity towards car dealerships due to less than perfect (or ethical) experiences. I personally did a lot of research and when you get there and let them know of what you want to look at- there is no upselling or tactics. I asked to see the itemized cost numbers on the vehicle, to which Jorge graciously obliged before we decided to purchase. They help you through the sales experience and what surprised me is after they keep contact and keep asking if you need assistance. Would and would continue to recommend them to anyone I know.I am very grateful & I appreciate all the staff and manager help, the service, the joy, and the environment I went to go shop for my wife Brand New 2016 Kia Sorento.Overall Im extremely happy with my purchase and look forward to doing business with Orlando Kia East in the Future.

My wife and have purchased a total of 4 cars from this dealership. At the present time we own 4 kia cars/trucks, this dealership comes very well recommended from us in the way they treat their customers, like family. Alex Vaya is a great sales professional, answered all our questions and made the process easier and as fast as possible for us. Hicham Belharsa, great finance manager, very professional and straight forward with us. We are a KIA family, actually we are a Orlando Kia East family!

KP greeted me from the moment I walked in the door. He didn't hover over me like a vulture like you see at most dealers. At first I wasn't convinced about getting a Kia but KP showed me everything my 2016 Sorento had to offer. Glad I was able to work with him and his manager Olu! These guys are great and would recommend them for my next vehicle.

I am 88 years old and wanted to purchase a new Kia Soul. I knew that the trade would be a challenge, but the dealership went the extra mile and made it happen. What was really nice was that the whole thing took about 3 1/2 hours from the time we walked on the lot until we drove off. My son was with me and he commented that he was impressed with the way the whole deal was handled. I highly recommend Orlando Kia East.The finance person, was top notch. Clearly explained everything and made the whole deal a downright pleasant experience. Hicham Belaharsa was his name

I was approached by Eddie Oliveras to test drive a 2015 Kia sportage he connected me with Jorge for a test drive and a few hours later was driving home in my new baby. The service from beginnning to end was amazing and the staff very professional and friendly they listened to what I needed and delivered completely. This is the dealership to go to if you're looking for good,professionalism and friendly service.

My wife and I have significant complaints and a really poor experience with "Orlando Kia East" located at 8701 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, FL 32817, telephone number 407-678-1717. We leased a new Sedona in late December 2014 and now, 3 months later, this dealership still can not get the paperwork straight. Today, someone named "Sekula" - supposedly a business manager there - contacted my wife and told her to "...park the vehicle until you provide paperwork we need..." - - - WHICH WE HAVE DONE IN PERSON NO LESS THAN 6 TIMES NOW by email and in person. I called them after this "Sekula" outraged us with his communication to her, attempting to reach GM Mr. Morejon who I was told is not available (go figure). Another manager took my complaint and my request that someone who can resolve this contact us today. The business office at Orlando Kia East appears, at best, incompetent and dysfunctional. As I am no longer confident that we can trust them to do anything competently, we asked that someone from the Florida Auto Dealers Association and from Corporate Kia (California) contact them on our behalf to get this resolved. After all our good faith efforts, threatening us about our right to operate the vehicle we leased is NOT good business practice - we have NEVER before (we are in our 60's) seen a vehicle transaction so screwed up as this. Truly unfortunate and NOT good customer service; as a long time business operations executive, I know well how to communicate and I plan to further express my discontent on our blogs, twitter, facebook, and with the media via the Orlando Sentinel and TV stations in addition to our attorney. This is a horrible representation of dealer "activity" for the FLADA to bear as well, as a dealership that's this incompetent reflects badly on all such auto dealers they represent.

I went to city Kia off of east colonial and I will NEVER buy a car from them. The sales associate was arguing with me saying what I wanted wasn't possible but every time I tried to leave the price went almost to my price range. Then when I tried to leave the sales manager said he could do my deal but then came back with a deal $120 MORE than the deal before. He said, "I can do it in your price range I just don't want to." THE MANAGER SAID THAT TO ME! I will never ever buy a car from this awful place. He was xxxxxx and an all around jerk!

What a chore that was! The entire process took six hours. Six hours. Lots and lots and lots of sitting waiting. Even after the deal was done, we were told "All we have to do is gas up your car and clean it and you're set!" Two hours later... I finally get my car and it STILL has plastic wrappings on all the seat belts. I now have a collection of rubber bands- thanks Kia! Protective plastic film also does not seem to be part of the 'cleaning and prepping your car' process as I peeled off four of those. Yes, I know that's not a lot, but after waiting two hours, you'd think they would have gotten them all. Then, when I came back to get my plates the next day, the young man doing it didn't have a Phillips screwdriver. Or screws. Now, I could see if I went to the Steak and Shake and asked them to install a license plate, but this was a car dealership. There should be a bin of mounting screws there at the front desk. And a screw driver. As it is, my 2015 Soul car now has two mismatched screws on the back plate. Neither were tight because he was using a flat head screw driver. AND- I think the dealer installs them- the front air deflector on my Soul has a mismatched washer. Again, it's one little washer, but when I have five black ones and one tan one on my 2015 car, it kind of bugs me. Attention to deal on cars from a car dealership shouldn't be too much to ask for. Whenever I make it across town-- probably in a month to ask for that check they owe me (see below)-- I'll have them swap out that tan one for a black one so they all match. On top of that, as part of the haggling process, I was told that I would get a check to cover my trailer hitch. It has been a month and I still don't have that check. Apparently "we are printing it now and we promise to mail it to you." A month later. Again, if I went to some local mom and pop hardware store and asked them to mail me a check, it might cause delays. When it's a multi-million (or is it billion?) world-wide company, cutting a check should be an easy thing to do. If you are interested, I can send you a photo of the mismatched screws and the washer. Well, the screws I'm fixing this weekend when I take off the Kia vanity plate, so I guess I'll take that photo before I do.

I was assisted by KP and wanted to express that he was amazing!I went into KIA in hopes of finding an affordable, reliable and quality car for our daughter who will be starting college in the fall. Making a car purchase can be a stressful experience but I must say that KP truly was WONDERFUL every step of the way! The thought of negotiating with professional negotiators (salesmen/women) is intimidating. If you look for tips online, a lot of people compare it to getting a root canal. The pages are full of awful negotiating ploys and underhanded tactics that give the bravest man/woman pause before stepping in a dealership. That was my frame of mind when I stepped in. I have never been happier to be wrong. KP was nice and a pleasure to deal with. He did make counter offers but that is expected in a negotiation. He was understanding and respectable with me and my family needs every step of the way. He truly made me feel like helping me was his priority above all! He accommodated ALL of my requests and preferences. He honored my voice every step of the way! Hicham Belaharsa assisted with the financing portion of the sale and I can truly say that he made the process smooth and stress free! Thank you Hicham. Both KP & Hicham are assets to Orlando KIA East and they have single handedly made Orlando KIA East my first port of call the next time I need a car. With out a doubt KP is the man to see for your next car purchase... Prepare to be amazed!

As walked into Orlando Kia East, I was immediately greeted by Anthony. Anthony was so upbeat, genuine, and always smiling. I went into KIA with the mind frame of not purchasing a vehicle. Anthony went out of his way to show me a variety of vehicles. He not only found one that suited my needs but also one that I absolutely loved. The purchasing experience went smoothly. I was offered a program that only KIA offers called the Car Exchange program in which I was able to receive a 1.9 percent interest rate. With many KIA rebates I qualified for, and the car exchange program I was able to get a top of the line vehicle. The customer service was unbelievable. Thank you Anthony Sermons, Micheal, Hicham, and Wayne for giving me a great buying experience.

I traded in my 2011 Kia Soul for a 2014 and wanted to lease. After Kia finance made a mistake on the paperwork for the 2011 Kia they wrongly sent me to all three collection agencies. I drove my new car home I received a call from the dealership the next day that Kia would not do the lease deal. I went back to return the car and get my trade back at this time not knowing why there was a problem. The Sales Manager told me Quote " That's not the way it works, you signed the paperwork we need to get you financing." I didn't want to buy, just lease for financial reasons. After all was said and done it was Kia that finally financed my car. I left in tears and tried to get the owner to help me make my deal a lease. If Kia would finance me why wouldn't they lease to me? He wouldn't call me back or answer my letters. I finally went to the bbb to complain and even that didn't help. I loved my 2011 and I love my new Soul but can't wait to get out of it so I don't need to pay Kia each month after the way I was treated by the company. I didn't get a CSI form to fill out (not a surprise because they knew it would be bad) so I found this outlet.

I have had quite a bit of dealings with this dealership in the last 7 weeks. I went in to see a Kia Sorento and drove away a few hours later with my new Sorento. Had a couple occasions to stop in and have always been treated very well. I stopped in again last week to ask about changing my cloth seats to leather and in 20 minutes was on my way to trading in my 7 week new Sorento for another one with leather seats. Crazy I know. But they made it worth it for me and I am a very happy customer still. If your looking for a Kia this is the dealership to use.

There was a little problem and that was that my credit was not perfect. However Anthony and Oludare were able to work with me and got me a very good loan on the vehicle I purchased. The whole time they were very friendly and courteous. It was a great experience,but it got even better when I hit the "Gong" upon purchasing my vehciel. It was a great shopping experience.

Thank you to the great team at Orlando Kia East. Best car buying experience ever.

Long story short, I recently bought (and returned) a vehicle to Kia East Orlando. My sales person was Ashley and she was very knowledgeable about the actual specs of the vehicles on the lot. I bought a 2015 Kia Optima and signed the first part of the contract for that car and took a photo of the paper. When I went back to the finance office, the paperwork had been switched to a "test drive model" of the same car so that they could make more money on it without my knowledge. After I was done and complained that the car was different, the finance officer "Sekula" said, "the car is yours and you signed for it, nobody held a gun to your head a made you." When I said the vin number on the car had changed from the original contract I signed, I was informed that the "original document had been thrown away"....luckily I had taken a photo of that paper and showed them that they did a bait and switch on the car and they eventually agreed to take the car back and void my contract. So obviously my experience wasnt very good and I dont recommend them.

We went to Kia to trade in our car and KP was the one that helped us out. We went there thinking we wanted one thing but he showed us what we needed, and what we would benefit from. We ended up buying a Kia Cadenza and its amazing im so happy with our purchase and the whole car buying experience. He worked with us the whole time and was not pushy at all. He made the car buying experience fun and fast. If you go to Orlando Kia East ask for KP. And our finance manager was Sekula- he did an amazing job also. Thank you Orlando Kia for the great experience and all the Help!!! :)

I had no intention on buying a car the day I went to Orlando Kia East to just check things out. I was greeted by a very friendly and personable salesman named Juan Carlos. He was very attentive and listened to what I wanted. There was no pressure, just options provided to me. He was patient and made the traditionally long wait (always when you buy a car) quite enjoyable. I found a car I fell in love with and Juan Carlos made it happen.

I had my wife's Sportage towed to Orlando Kia East the last week of November with an engine problem. It took two weeks for Kia East to get the warranty claim for a new engine approved. Once approved, Edward stated the engine would be in the following Tuesday and in the car by Friday. I called on Friday and they did not have the engine. I spoke with Gina, Edwards boss, who did not offer to reimburse us for our rental she did finally give us a loaner for the last three weeks. Throughout the process our service manager Edward and his boss Gina did very little to keep us informed of what was going on. I had such a hard time getting in touch with Edward that on several occasions I had to drive to the dealer to get an update. I tried emailing Edward but the email address on his business card would not work. Gina finally took over keeping me informed once I told her about my problems with Edward. At week number three I requested a transmission service while the car was there and Gina told me she would insure it was complete. Two more weeks go by and I only hear from KIA America (Corporate). I explained my problems with Daniel Burk and she promised to speak to Gina about the lack of communication. Daniel stated that it was Kias policy that the dealer contacts me every two days with and update this did not happen. I was finally contacted by Edward last Tuesday to inform me that the timing belt was not included with a new engine and that I would have to pay $91 for it. I dont mind the charge but this is in poor taste. He stated that the car would be ready by Friday (this was the second time he promised our car ready by Friday). The weekend came and went and still no car or phone call with a reason why it was not ready. Daniel from Kia corporate called again this Tuesday to see if we were satisfied with the work performed. She was shocked when I told her we did not have the car nor did we receive a phone call. Edward called yesterday to let me know everything was complete. My wife arrived today to pick-up the car and the transmission service was not complete. Gina argued with my wife and basically told her I was lying about requesting the service. The technician helping my wife stated it would take another 45 minutes. My wife informed them that she had to get home immediately because she paid a babysitter to watch our kids. She asked if she could keep the loaner for a few hours while she made arrangements for our kids. The technician laughed and stated that they do not give loaners for services. Her options were to wait or leave without the service. During this time I was on the phone with Gina who was yelling at me and accusing me of lying. In the background I could hear my wife crying. Once I spoke with her she stated that the technician told her that she had now wasted ten minutes discussing the problem. My wife felt like she was being tag-teamed and abused by the staff. After my wife broke down in tears Gina offered to get the GM. She returned and stated the GM only spoke to customers during the week but she could leave a voice mail. My wife left crying. I am in the Army and I am currently gone for several months so you can only imagine how frustrating this is for me. This whole experience has guaranteed we will never buy another Kia or Hyundai. We will surly avoid any dealership owned by this dealer.

My car buying experience here was already paved by my sister purchasing the SAME car days before! She had such a fantastic experience with Juan Malave in buying her Kia Optima Turbo that I had to go in and meet with him also, and I was not even in need of a new car! He was very friendly, genuine, and a pleasure to work with. He was knowledgeable, listened, and was attentive to my goals and wishes in the deal, and I was able to come home with the car I wanted at a great price. Hicham Belaharsa in financing had a great attitude, and executed his part quickly to finish up the process and finally get us out the door. Warning...be prepared to be at this dealership for a large amount of your day completing your transaction. Overall, super experience. Go see Juan!

I agreed on the terms with Brandon and went forward with the purchase. I did not have a friend with me to assist to return the rental car. So Brandon took time off the clock to help me to return my rental car and get set up with my new car. I would highly recommend Brandon as he does exceeds your expectations.

First of all I love my Kia. Not to happy with the fuel economy. Estimated 36 MPG hwy. Actual 27 MPG hwy. I was there today for an oil change, new wipers, poor mileage, and windshield washers not working. I asked for specific numbers stored in the car's computer. They are diagnostic numbers that might indicate the reason for poor economy. They did not address the poor economy. "Everything is normal" they said. 35% lower than advertised MPG is not normal. The technicians notes said the windshield washers were not working. REALLY? I brought it there for that. Why even tell me? I'm covered by the factory warranty. Why not just fix it? They brought my car back in and fixed them. FYI As I waited I saw all their new cars had an addendum price sticker of $4000.00 added to the price. Basically $4000 for pin stripes and nitrogen in the tires. I am shopping for a new Kia for my wife. Won't be buying here! An experience not worth repeating.

I can't say enough about the service that we received from KP (Kirpal Jimenez). He actually drove all the way across the county to pick us up the day before Christmas Eve because our car broke down. He promised he would find a car in our price range and exceeded our every expectation. We drove off the lot in our 2014 Chevy Spark that night and was able to make it Christmas Dinner with family in south Florida. As far as I am concerned KP saved Christmas for my family. The price was fair and there was zero haggling necessary. Thank you again KP!

We had picked out a vehicle online from their inventory before heading to the dealership and we were warmly and heartily greeted at the door. We had previously discussed a price and payment that we could not exceed and expected a long negotiation and probably leaving without making a purchase, but the dealership made and excellent offer that was just under our predetermined maximum without having to haggle at all. Even though it was a Sunday, the entire sale and finance process went very smoothly and we drove off in the vehicle of our choice at the price we were willing to pay.

My wife had heard their ads on the radio and was interesting in trading in our 2014 Kia Soul in for a 2015 Sorrento. After 3 1/2 hours at the dealer nothing was accomplished. Numbers were agreed upon the sales rep (Juan was very helpful) was sent on a wild goose chase for 45 minutes to find a Red Sorrento (even though we wanted black) at the car corral could not locate the vehicle or keys. I saw the Black Sorrento and Eddie the manager on duty told us to test drive it and he would rerun the numbers for this black one. Less than five minutes test drive because we were getting tired of being stuck at the dealership so long. During this time Eddie left without doing anything on the deal or informing anyone. Was told that now the numbers would have to be done on Monday. When all previous numbers were sign here if we can get to your price you will take vehicle today. We live in Edgewater and drove over an hour to give Orlando Kia a chance to earn a customer even though Daytona Kia and Deland Kia are much closer for us. My wife and I are highly disappointed and have never seen a car deal go like this or a manger send you out on a test drive and leave. So we are now left waiting for a call on Monday from Orlando Kia.

I was not in the market for a vehicle, I just purchased a brand new 2013 Optima at the end of last year. I was at the dealership on 12/08/14 waiting for my vehicle to be serviced. I was helped by a very nice young man Brandon who asked if everything was going ok with my car and if I was enjoying it. Brandon offered to show me the new 2015 Optima while I waited for my car. Based on the GREAT experience I had with Brandon, I was ready to buy a new car when I was not even looking to purchase right now! Brandon was very knowledgable and taught me things about my car that I did not know. He was EXCELLENT! Brandon also showed me a Sorento when I told him that I had just had a baby since I bought my car and may need to upgrade in the near future. I have to admit, I was not very happy with my first purchase from this dealership last yeat, but if I had any doubts on buying another Kia, Brandon changed all that. He certaintly has made me a loyal Kia cusstomer. I feel like I may be able to upgrade my car sooner than I thought. I will most definitely be back to get my Sorento and I hope Brandon is there to help!

I was not seeking to purchase a car on the day I visited Orlando Kia East.I went to this dealership as it was nearby to my home in Waterford Lakes and is the only Kia dealer in east Orlando currently.Their building is brand new and very clean and spotless inside with a TV viewing area and plush seats to sit in while waiting. I wish they had complimentary snacks like other dealers do (popcorn/water/sodas etc...). Maybe they could include this in the future.I was in a gas guzzler Honda Ridgeline truck and was upside down on the value with a remaining loan payoff more than the value of the vehicle.I wanted a more gas efficient car and Kia was first on my list.I had in mind a Kia Rio but was open to other models as long as the fuel mileage was acceptable. I also had no intention to purchase on this first visit.I met a sales person named Charlene Pillot who took the time to discuss and listed to what I wanted to accomplish.She told me the features of the KIa cars I asked about and walked me and my family to their new car lot across the street from their main building.After viewing both the 2015 Kia Rio and 2015 Soul I became more interested in the Soul as it was more comfortable inside and had more storage room.Charlene went and got 4 - 5 keys for each car on their lot I wanted to test drive and just sit inside of.Eventually my wife, daughter and I went back to their main building where Charlene started the negotiation process. What my wife and I did not like was the old traditional model of car dealer sales negotiation. It took nearly 2 hours for us to settle on a price going back and forth with Orlando Kia East.Finally we agreed and signed the forms to purchase a 2015 Kia Soul +. I liked the car and KIa Orlando East made it possible for me to get out of the gas guzzler Honda Ridgeline truck. My daughter even got to ring the big gong!Charlene was a great sales person, very accommodating and listened closely. She did her job well and made me and my family welcome.We then met with Hicham, the Sales and Finance Manager. Hicham is a high energy funny guy!! He completed our paperwork and we were done, about 6 hours later. Hicham even found a lower loan percentage rate the next day for us lowering my monthly payments!The next day I returned to drop off a spare key to the truck I had traded in. I then met the Service Advisor and Parts guy. Both were nice. Charlene went over the features of my new Soul and had it detailed and filled with a full tank of gas!I hope my positive experience with Orlando Kia East continues in the future as I will be bringing my Soul back for service here.The sales experience was somewhat high pressure however not rude or extreme. If you have patience to negotiate you can get a good deal.

Sat at the dealership for a few hours hoping for a deal to come through even though my credit wasn't great. I was told i got approved. I was shocked thankful felt blessed. Immediately i felt at the beginning it was going downhill when i got handed off. Nothing was lied in my paperwork. i filled out paperwork was handed the keys felt i finally got a chance a few days later got a call asking how i was doing. Felt great. Keep in mind i left the lot with 200 down with 1600 promise for the following week. I delivered on that promise and was introduced to a 2007 ford focus faded and beating up interior. Faded door handles trunk. Everything that was black turned gray. I was told i was short 710 dollars for a new car. I average a little over 3000 a month. I was told i need to start small. So why wasn't small introduced from day one. I offered 1000 down and was told have a good night. I was completely ignored the rest of the evening no one wanted to talk. Associate lost her sale so i became irrelevant to her. I almost had faith from previous reviews and they were gone. I kept my promise and this dealership couldn't keep theres.

My wife and I were searching for an SUV or Mini-van. As soon as we saw the 2015 Kia Sedona commercial we stopped to take a look the Sedona. Kirpal introduced himself and offered a road test with no pressure to buy, We returned the following evening with the kids and a quote in hand from TrueCar.com which Kirpal Jimenez and manager Eddie Oliveras matched the price and the deal was sealed. Kirpal went out of his way to make this a pleasant purchase even better then the one 2 years ago when I drove out with my 2013 Optima. I am a repeat customer at Orlando Kia East and I highly recommend this dealer to anyone interested in purchasing Kia and lastly I must say the service and parts department are all aces as well keep up the great work.

Yesterday afternoon, my son and me went to buy a new KIA Optima. We were received by George Attalaa. It was impressive the dissertation of George. We could realize that he knows everything about his work, he explained all about that car clear but using the correct and technical words. In other hand, form the point of view of business, George did all his best to give us the best price, he gave us 4 prices trying to resolve our situation, in other financial conditions, we would have bought that car because the last price he gave us was irresistible. I am 59 years old and I never had the opportunity to work with that good seller. Finally, let me say that he has a very good temperament and that is very important because that kind of person is remembered and you come back to where you was well attended.

My wife and I just wanted to see some of the cars in the lot; we were looking for a car for our son. At the time we did not expected to come out of the lot with a new car. The 2015 Kia Optima that I picked for my son had some scratches on both sides of the car. The car was sent to the painting shop to be fixing three times, after the third time we asked the dealer to swap the car for another (same color same type). Through all these events the Salesman Charlene Pillot worked with us to make sure that we were satisfied with the vehicle. She maintained communication with us including on her own personal time to make sure that everything was correct. Charlene told us that this was the first car that she ever sold. Her professionalism and attention to detail was surpassed. I will recommend that anyone that needs a new or old car to see her and experience her work ethics.

KP has proven to exceed beyond expected customer service satisfaction. I've had the pleasure to meet a genuine sales person who was willing to help from the moment we came to East Orlando Kia. He has gone the "extra" mile, not only to give me what I was looking for, but to advise me to make the right decision and choice. At the end, my overal satisfaction is an A+ and highly recommend him. He defines the true meaning of salesman.Most importantly, the smoothest process was at the end. Sekula, thanks for the extra effort. To all who assisted me, it's one of the most positive experience to remember.

My husband and I just wanted to check the value of a trade-in but by no means expected to trade in immediately. However as we were checking out a car of interest we turned around and Freddy was there offering his help. Freddy gave us all the details about the car and then we went inside to check for numbers. At one point we were about to change our minds, but Freddy did all the impossible to keep us there. He worked we us diligently and patiently until he got us to rethink our decision. Freddy was very kind and courteous and made us feel very comfortable. He really hustle to make this sale. We are very happy and satisfied with our choice of car, and thank you for that, and the extra mile you took to help us !!!Good luck and we hope you make lots of sales!!Doris and Peter Rodriguez

I just purchased a new Kia from Freddy Alvria. I have purchased many cars in my life and Freddy is by far the best salesman I have ever encountered. He answered every question we had he did his best to make us comfortable while we were there. I give him 5 stars. There was only one draw back to our entire experience. When my wife and I met with the gentleman for the Finance Department he was pushy, rude and inconsiderate. He did not want to take no for an answer on the extra warranty. My wife said no three times and he still tried to bring it up again.

We went to buy a car almost 3months ago (August 2014), eager to sell car and when deal is done they do not care about your needs anymore. When we were ready to leave, the car the navigation and radio system were not working, we had to leave the car for a couple of days so this can be fixed. When they fixed the issue and we were ready to take the car the check engine light went off and the car did not want to start because battery was bad. We were almost going daily to dealership to resolve all this issue; they made us wait over 2 hrs. almost all the time and they when had to come back again. Once again we had to leave the car so this can be fixed. We had to ask for a loaner several times; in one instance they gave me the car without signing any paperwork and another time they gave me a loaner which they had to pick up the same night because the car was already sold and because of their miss-communication issues they came home at around 10PM!!! We waited over a week to get the car and they wanted to give me the car with empty tank!. I had told the whole issue to sales manager Mr. Wayne who was helpful but promised to follow up and as of today he has not. I asked for big boss #, Mr. Luis Morejon and did not call so nobody will be fired. Today we try to turn on car and the battery is not working; mind you, when the car did not start at dealership, according to staff they put a brand new battery and 3 months later we had to jump car to start it. My husband took to dealer and they did not do nothing for him; they just wasted out time and using their usual words "we cannot do anything about it"! This people need to re-train on customer service skills; put customer needs first instead of their own. Mr. Kirpal Jimenez dared to call me and begged me to complete an excellent review; do you think I did? Of course not! He was the 1st one today to ignore my husband and did not even try to assist him. I now wonder if I will receive a call from someone at the dealership and I will not want to talk to any other than the general manager. Leslie Ann Rodriguez. 10/18/14

They promised one interest rate we signed papers then called to return with car to sign new papers with higher rate that the deal wasn't done. We returned to this dealer a total of five times putting over 500 miles on a brand new car not to mention that we were both disabled and the ride was one hour plus each way. When we returned we asked for my car back that they weren't giving us the deal we were trapped into purchasing car because they informed us they sold our trade. Which we now learned is illegal until deal is completed. We had to return because the manual and extra key were locked up n they couldn't find the key to open the room. If you want an honest straight up deal.go elsewhere.

Though they did not end up having the car I wanted, I still decided to go with a Kia at another dealer and I will be making Kia East my shop for maintenance. Thanks again Gareth!

We had a very positive experience at Orlando Kia. My sister in law was in town from Arizona. Her husband who was still out there told her that Kia had a great sale going on and that he was thinking about buying a Soul for her as she needed a new car. She had never even seen a Soul before now and was panicked about the purchase. I told her we would run down to Orlando Kia and check one out really quick to make sure it was a vehicle she liked. We met our salesperson, Edward Pratt when we got there. We told him our situation and that we knew we were not buying from Orlando Kia.He checked with his manager to get permission for a test drive and off we went. He was very thorough, professional, and friendly. I thought it was great customer service. I know when it comes time for me to buy a New vehicle, I'm going to start with him.

I recently brought my 2012 Kia Optima in for service and while my husband and I were sitting there many salespeople walked by without speaking to us. Melinda was the only one who came to see how we were doing and if there was anything she could help us with. We ended up trading in our 2012 Kia Optima for a 2014 Kia Optima and that would not have happened without Melinda. She was a joy to work with and I would love to do business with her again when we trade in for our next new Kia.

Melinda brought us out to the lot to look at the a smaller car. She asked us to look at the Kia Soul which was only a few 100 dollars difference from the original car we were looking at. The Soul had much more room and more features that the original car. We went in to talk numbers and Melinda was able to get the numbers we were looking for. Great person to work with that will fight for the customer. Would do business with again.

It was great doing business with Emmanuel; I got the best deal ever in cars. I so much admired his patience, politeness, willingness to help and friendly nature. Ive always been a Toyota person and when my brother-in-law told me to check on Kia Soul. I wasnt interested; he personally took me there after my Toyota deal didnt work out on the day I wanted. When we got to kia and I saw the car.. men I knew it was deal done; very comfortable, high safety standards and many options. If youre a Toyota fan, know that Kia offer more than you can imagine. Just check it out. Im more than satisfied with my 2015 Kia Soul.lolI highly recommend Emmanuel to help you with the purchase of your next vehicle. He's Amazing! The rest of the staff was exceptional as well. Thank you Orlando Kia East Colonial, you all made my day.

I let them I was told they only needed to appraise my car so I let them do so they came back and told me it would be fine they looked at it and all we would need to establish now was the payment I asked them several times again if they were sure because I did not want to go ahead if this wasn't done where I needed to put more than what I wanted because of their $7000 but of course they said they were sure by the time we finish they wanted me to put double the amount I agreed on because they lied they DO Not give you more than Kelly bluebook I could go to any dealer and buy whatever I want with that same amount down so they are liars and don't fall for it like I did.

I had received a phone call from Emmanuel as my 2010 Optima was out of warranty . It was my birthday weekend so I decided to just take a look and see what they could do. I wasn't necessarily looking for a new car so if I wasn't satisfied I was content to walk away. He was very professional and helpful and I test drove a couple of vehicles. The Optima was by far the best deal and they worked until they got the payment below my other payment. Who could argue with that! I would happily recommend Emmanuel and the rest of the staff were exceptional as well. It was the best birthday present EVER!

After having our last Kia Sorrento for 11 years we thought it was time to get another, the other had finally come down to the only large repair we ever had and it was a necessity.. I spoke with Melinda and told her what we wanted. She was very friendly and helpful. We decided to lease this time. She showed us one car, though not totally what we wanted, it was close enough. When I got home with the car I realized that we had settled though for less than we wanted, but we loved the still loved the car. In a moment of clarity I decided to at least let her know we were a bit disappointed. Within a day I received a call from Melinda apologizing and saying that she had found the exact car we wanted and offered to exchange it out for the same price. I was flabbergasted. Not only did the dealership go along with this but she actually delivered the car to our door with the new papers. She stayed to show us the new features and left two very happy people with their new Sorrento,.Car buying had always been a torturous process for me and it was second only to going to a doctor in trepidation. Melinda has changed all that for us. We know that next time 3 years from now, we'll be back and hope that Melinda will be there to assist us again.

It was a fairly quick process which is important to me due to my inherent lack of free time. Emmanuel listened to what it was that I needed and what I wanted and customized everything to suit me. They even allowed me to take my new car to go home and let out my dogs while they handled the paperwork. It was a stressful decision to spend the money on a new car and the guys at Kia did a great job easing my mind. I feel I got what I paid for.

I walked into the store just wanting to get a quote and basically seeing who had the best offer. The second I saw Freddy he gave the experience that I never been through when it comes down to buying a car. He sat me down and let me talk about the previous experience that I went through with my last dealership. Just listening to me alone I knew I was comfortable cause of the fact that he didn't cut me off at any point, he just let me express myself then he went to work...My mindset was to get a Mazda 3, but by the time we walked out and looked at the car that changed my mind within the first 5 minutes...Although I wasn't trying to get into a car Freddy promised he would get me in car by the end of the night...He was very friendly, funny and energetic, which is good when a customer is buying a car. I would recommend anyone to go to that dealership and especially Freddy. It was by far the best experience I had when it comes down to buying a car....Thanks Freddy you are the best....

I was very happy with my 2012 Kia Sorento; however, I driver over 120 miles per day. This lead me to trading in for a 2015 Kia Forte for gas mileage and renewed bumper to bumper warranty. I was not highly motivated to trade in since my SUV was fairly new, and still an amazing vehicle. If it hadn't been for the patience of my sales representative I would have left (twice). Emmanual made sure to cover all areas regarding my wants in a car and the bottom line price I was willing to pay.

Below is the letter of my families experience with Orlando KIA East. I have been wanting to send it to someone of importance and have emailed Luis Morejon and the Vice Principle of the Company and have not received a reply or phone call as of yet. Here it is : Dear Mr. Luis Morejon,My name is Randy **** and I wanted to let you know of a terrible experience my Wife and I had with Orlando KIA East in hopes that you (first) can do something about it. My Wife (*****) and I visited your dealership to look at the new KIA Sorrentos. We knew that we were upside down for both of our autos and explained this to the salesman and Sales Manager. Now, to make a long story short, we were told that the deal was good by both the Salesman and the Sales Manager and we even saw Mr. Sekula Jovanovic to complete all the paperwork (contract, which I still have) and signed. The Dealership took my truck, scraped off my Sunpass Toll from my windshield, took my license plate off my vehicle and put on a new license plate sticker and put that plate on our new KIA. Then they put their own dealership auto info data sticker in the windshield of my trade in (Truck). After all of that my Wife was even told that she could ring the gong in front of everyone showing that we just bought a new car. We were very excited and my Wife then drove home the new KIA. We showed all of our friends and family and planned a vacation to Oklahoma driving our new KIA. We spent about the next 3 days still driving the KIA. I received a call from the dealership stating to come back in because there was an issue with the sale of this car and that they were going to replace that KIA with a brand new KIA without any miles because it had better rebates. I got off work early and went back in alone without my Wife to find out what was going on. After two hours of waiting, the Sales Manager, Mr. Hicham Belaharsa finally sat down next to me and stated that we could not keep that KIA because of not enough rebates and that they (Dealership) would have to replace that KIA Sorrento with a newer one that had 0 miles and better rebates. I asked if there was a black one like the one we bought and he told the salesman to take me across the street to see. Well, my Wife showed up and the sales Manager explained to her so we followed the salesman across the street to look at the newer KIA Sorrentos with fewer miles. There wasnt a black one, but there was a white one that my Wife finally agreed to takeeven though she was in love with the black KIA Sorrento that she had been driving for the past 4 days thinking it was hers. Once we got back to the dealership and the Sales Manager finally sat down with us, he stated that the new monthly payment for this KIA would be $880 not the $713 that we had agreed on and signed for. I told him that we couldnt do that much. He then stated that if we could come up with $1000 down then he could get the payment down to the $713-$717 monthly payment. He told us to think about it. My Wife wanted to leave as we already had our new car and had been driving it for the last 4 days. The sales manager finally returned and pressured us for a down payment. My Wife just wanted that Sorrento so I stated that we could come up with $1000 down. The Sales Manager left and we waited another hour before he returned. He now stated that we owed too much on the trade in and that the deal was off. He stated that they got the payoffs mixed up and that there was a $2000 difference now. I asked how did the payoffs get mixed up when I sat down on their computer and gave them the financial institutes web site and phone number. I also told him that all we had was $1000. He again left and another hour went by and then he returned stating that the deal was off and nothing can be done. He stated that there was a $2000 difference. I asked the Sales Manager that after all the BS that we have been put through over the last four days thinking that the car was ours and we already had the signed paperwork, why the company couldnt cover the $2000? He said no and asked us to sign some more paperwork, which we did. Then he said that they were taking back the KIA Sorrento. The dealership brought back my truck, scrapped off their sticker from the windshield, peeled off the new monthly license sticker from the KIA and placed it back on my truck. We had to take all of our personal belongings out of the Sorrento and put them back in the truck. Mr. Morejon, my Wife has been devastated by the actions of Mr. Belaharsa and Orlando KIA East and has not been the same since. Her dreams were crushed over such unprofessionalism and talks about it daily. Sir, I am retired Army and have bought around 2 dozen new cars in my life and have never seen anything like this in my life. Mr. Morejon, you have some awesome salemen that seem to really care about us and enjoy their job but your Sales Manager, Mr. Belaharsa .well, let me stop there. Mr. Morejon, Sir, I am asking if there is anything that you can do to fix this unjust? V,r,Randy *****Also added my cell # here.UPDATE: Since this experience and no return email or call from Mr. Morejon or the VP, my friends told me to stay away from this dealership as they too have had issues. 2 of my Co-workers bought new cars from Sutherlin Nissan and advised us to go right down the street to that dealership. What a difference! Now, we own a brand new Nissan Pathfinder (Loaded). We loved the KIA Sorrento and know that not all KIA Dealerships are this unprofessional so if you are just stuck on a KIA then go to a different dealership......or even better, first check out Sutherlin Nissan before you have to make the drive.

I went to Orlando Kia East today looking for a new Soul and in a relatively quick and painless process I was able to drive home in just that. My sales consultant, Nas, was very friendly and helpful through the entire experience. He made sure I found exactly what I was looking for in my new car and did everything he could to help me get a good deal with the bank financing. After making the deal, Nas made sure my car was detailed and had a full tank of gas. After everything was said and done he took me to my new car and showed me all of the features, even hooked up my blue tooth on my phone for me. I left feeling satisfied that I made a good decision and I was happy that I chose to do business with Orlando Kia East. I would recommend them to anybody looking to purchase a car.

My experience with Orlando Kia East was disappointing. While the sales staff is very friendly and likable, they are also exceedingly disorganized and seemingly incompetent. In March of 2014, I purchased a 2014 Kia Soul. The sale was simple and easy. I paid extra to have a navigation system added to my vehicle. My service appointment was scheduled for the following week. I arrived for my service appointment, and despite having had a scheduled appointment, I was not on their schedule. My morning had been wasted. They rescheduled me for the following week. Again, I arrived for my appointment, and after three hours, I was told that that the part needed to install the navigation system was not yet available, and that my wait for the navigation system would be about two months. Fast forward to June. I contacted KIA Consumer Service to try to get to the bottom of why I was still waiting for my navigation system. I was told that navigation systems cannot be installed in the 2014 Kia Soul. The staff at Orlando Kia East should have known this at the time of the sale. It would have saved me a great deal of aggravation and wasted time. Very nice guys, but based on my experience, they need to work on getting their acts together. I will not recommend Orlando Kia East to anyone, as the staff was extremely inadequate with the exception of Sekula Jovanovic from financing. I was pleased with him. He was very friendly, and very competent.

I live in Ocala, FL and was shopping for a new Kia Soul with a certain criteria. I contacted Melinda regarding their inventory and if they had the certain Kia that I was looking for. From the beginning Melinda was amazing. We communicated through email and text because that was the easiest way for me. She told me that regardless if they had the Kia I was looking for, that she would get me the one I wanted by the time I came down there. In just two days, I went from shopping for my Kia, to purchasing it! She was able to do everything for me over the phone. I contacted her on a Tuesday evening and by Wednesday evening my deal was being written up. I was able to drive down there on Friday and she had all the papers and my clean and gassed up Kia waiting for me. In just a little over an hour, I drove away in my brand new Kia Soul! Not only was Melinda helpful and super awesome in every way possible during the deal, she even had the awful pinstripe that I hated taken off the car for me before I arrived. Whenever I decide to purchase another car Melinda will definitely be who I contact! She is awesome and actually made purchasing a car fun! Thank you Melinda again for everything! : )

I have been to 4 dealers including the KIA West (the worst dealership of all). After the experience at that KIA I was hesitant to go to another KIA but coming to KIA east was the best decision ever. Melinda was very friendly, knowledgable and knows her job very well. She took care of us as if we where family. Will definitely recommend her and her collegues to anyone looking to buy a car.

I had a great experience at Orlando Kia East on May 19, 2014 purchasing my new Kia Sorento. Robert Lozraites was the sales consultant that stayed with me through the entire process. He even traveled to another dealership just to get the exact color vehicle that I wanted. He was very friendly, courteous and helpful through the entire process. When I went into the finance department Eddie was very friendly and took the time to explain every step of the process. I would recommend this dealership and Robert.

Upon arrival, at 10:35AM, I was immediately approached by a sales consultant which was nice to see. He was well versed and knowledgeable with Kia and their product. Fortunately I saved some time with homework of my own with the interest in make/model/sub-model (figuring this will expedite the process quicker). The sales consultant spent a fair amount of time going over every little feature and square inch of the Optima I my eye on. It was considerate of him to do such however, the annoyance was that he was going over features that my current car already had installed. I took this as though he only knows cars on the Kia lot and nothing outside of the dealership training manual. After the once around on the vehicle, we went for a spin; it drove extremely smooth though they had it sitting in the lot with no gasoline in the tank so I was afraid the whole time we were going to break down on the side of the road. Fortunately we got back but I never really hit the acceleration pedal nor did I want to. We got back and discussed numbers. I wanted to use my current car as a trade-in and act as the down-payment. The sales consultant came back with an offer and the manager's approximate estimate insulted me greatly by offering the worst trade-in value for a vehicle that literally looked like it stepped off the auto lot. Fortunately again, I did research on my car's value as well as visited another Kia dealership to work off price points; we were able to negotiate somewhat into a better ballpark. This process took quite some time and we reached an agreement, shook on it, and literally rang a gong to "seal the deal." While information was processed, car insurance was transferred, and I dealt with finance, they took the Kia Optima in the back to clean and prepare it for me. The sales consultant lost the Kia car keys during this time frame and had me check my belongings THREE times because he misplaced them. This was extremely annoying as I emptied and shuffled through my personal bag on a table though I knew I never touched the Kia key while I was signing paperwork. At the end of the day (literally), I removed the final items from my old car and moved all my stuff into the new Kia. The sales consultant had me walk around the car to make sure it was "spotless" and clean to my standard. After their staffed cleaned it, it was far from spotless and the car was covered in water droplets, irrigation water stains, and scuff marks (some being inside the car). He had to send out the detailer to clean it AGAIN as I pointed out all my concerns. Once I agreed the car looked okay, we finalized the last of the paperwork and I was on my way. My overall experience was lengthy, tiresome, and the day just drug on. As stated at the beginning of this diatribe, I arrived at 10:35AM and finally drove off the lot at 6:15PM starving for lunch (or dinner) and exhausted. The main benefit: the staff was very nice and made the time spent as comfortable as it potentially could have. The sales staff, management, and serviceman (even ones I did not work with directly) all had smiles on and were all very nice and welcoming. It was great to see that my business was important to them. I WOULD recommend Orlando Kia East to anyone; just make sure to bring food with you.FYI, six days after purchase, I have done a full wash and detail on the car and I can truly say it "looks better than the day I bought it."

So I went to go get a new car. Come to find out I owe more than my car is worth. Ok no problem I've been in the business I knew that may of happened. They pulled my credit which I told them was in the high 7's. Worked really hard to get there. But when the managers tells me I could buy another car and keep mine I asked what they meant. And they said I can get the car I like and keep mine cause my credit would cover it. I asked what do I do with my car cause I can't afford 2 cars not 1 but 2 managers told me to give it back to the bank! WHAT that would ruin my credit I said. No with your score it will go down a little and with the new car it would go back up. Now I was in the business for a while never got to a manager level but I don't think that's right. Please be careful if they try to pull this on you cause I spoke to my bank and its not true, They deal with my bank and they said they would handle it for me not to worry and sent me to a dealer that they work with and I got my new Optima thanks to my bank rep. "BUYER BEWARE" By the way they sent me to Deland to get my car great service! :) And they give me what I owed on my car and they said Orlando Kia was trying to steal my car. I guess times have changed cause my family sent me there and when I told them what happened they said it use to be great service but people have come and gone. They won't be going to Orlando Kia East anymore either.

Me and wife's experience here was unmatched. Starting with Freddy. Freddy from the start was very knowledgeable about the product, very genuine and honest. At no point did we feel uncomfortable with pressure to purchase; We really felt like the team was working for us and not just for Kia. Once we met with Oludare the experience just got even better. Again just very friendly and filled with knowledge and provided many different options (financially) so we could choose the best one for us. At last we finalized the deal and walked out with what we wanted (2014 Sorento Xls). So overall amazing experience and I thank Freddy and Oludare for really making our first buying experience unforgettable. They've earned our business for life!

This is a copy of the second letter that I've sent. I really don't expect a response nowbut I think you should be aware............Louis Morejon;Wayne Osso; Some time ago I brought my KIA in for service. Which as it turns out will be the last timeI will bring it in! I asked for an oil change which I hope I got ! Ed had suggested to rotate the tires alsowhich would make the bill just under $60 as I had advised Ed I only brought $60.I advised Ed, the service person, I believe I had a slow leak in my passenger side tire.He said he would have it checked. I've dealt with Ed before and he is very pleasantand good at his job... The bill for the work done was I think $59.00.I was told later that there was a small nail in the tire and it would be 39.95 to fix.I said that I thought the price was too high and said not now thanks.Two days later the low tire light came on the dash. I went to put air in the low tire and started with the rear tires being that I paid for a tire rotation and the tire that was on the front passenger side would not be the one, so I thought, NOT!It wasn't changed and is still on the passenger front. I contacted the service person, a young lady the told me she would handle the situation and would cut me a check for the cost of the tire rotation that I didn't receive and send it to me, NOT.I had asked for the Service manager and she told me that he wasn't there and she didn't know when he would be back! I told her that I'd come in next week and she said he would be out of town.The home office sent me a questionnaire about the service I received, haven't heard back.I was going to have the tire done the other day and low and behold, the key for the tire lock was not to be found! I searched every place, glove box,trunk,in the area of the spare tire, the side panels on the doors, under the seats, the arm rest compartments, not to be found!Big Joke on me, for not having the tire patched...! Would you bring your car in for service? After being treated like I was?Along with all the trouble I had that day I was dealing with my wife having Stage IV Cancer. Good Business Practice.............. Since I wrote this report, I was contacted immediately by Louis Morejon. He was very surprised to her of the problem I had with the service dept. As it turned out it was all a misunderstanding of communication.All is been rectified. Douglas Snyder dougsnyder81atYahoo.comcc;Louis Morejon;Wayne Osso;

At first everything was fine George was friendly and professional and the car he showed me wasn't in the best shape but it had promise so decided to go inside and see what the numbers would look like. To get the numbers he made me and my friends wait for an hour and came up with nothing. He kept pushing me to get a cosigner but still no numbers about payments or price of the car. And he ran my credit 6 times and still NEVER gave me numbers. Finally after sitting there for an hour with nothing me and my friends decided to leave. My one friend works at another dealership and George was very disrespectful to him saying he knows nothing about cars and as we were on the way out to our cars he decided to chase me out and tell me again that my friend knew nothing about cars and all he kept saying the car was a great deal and the car was inspected inside and out when the condition of the car was far from where the price should have been, windshield was cracked, scratches all down the side, used tissue in the back, sand all over the seats, stains on the seats, chipped paint on the fender, and all he kept saying the car was a great price, the price was firm, and the car was fully inspected. This is not the first time I was disrespected and felt suffocated at this dealership but it will be the last time that I go to this dealership.

My wife and I decided to consider Kia East for the first time a few weeks ago. Kia in effect is a sister car company within the Hyundai Group, we opted to see what Kia had to offer in the form of the their new 2014 Kia Forte. Upon setting an appointment with our sales representative, Ms. Afef Chelbi, we were greeted immediately that evening. Afef was awesome in helping us get oriented with the vehicle and its many features. We took the Forte for a brief test drive and found the Kia Forte to be very much at par with the the Hyundai Elantra we drive now and the new 2014 which we had seen earlier. Still we had researched the Kia and upon seeing it in person we now realize why Kia is seeing a renaissance of sorts as an amazing success story. The car is really well built, solid, and NOTHING like the Kia's of old. The Forte stood out on a couple of fronts , compared to the Elantra.....memory seats, higher output engine, and both heated and cooled seats (front and back), ....features which the Elantra has but on a more limited scale. These features to us are trivial but to others they may make the difference between someone buying an Elantra or buying a Forte in this segment. This being said, the differences are in appearance mainly, and in the options list. Kia does offer a bit more bang for the buck depending on ones particular needs and this may explain to a large part their success and massive growth as of late as a company in the automotive world. To Kia's benefit, they do offer AMAZING value for the money you pay, but the key phrase is just that..."The money you pay". So what went well? Overall I can't say enough POSITIVE things about Ms. Afef Chelbi about her attentions and friendliness. She covered all the bases about the Forte with us extremely well and her personality is amazing and nice to work with. She never pressured or was aggressive in pushing us, which we appreciated immensely..the visit with her and out time with her was perhaps one of the most positive experiences ever in visiting any dealer. Where things went a tad wrong with her was in the pre-planning of our visit. I had asked Ms. Chelbi what we sought ahead of our arrival, and when we did arrive, we had to find the car within the lot. All told not a major thing but nonetheless a bit of a negative. Ultimately we saw/drove the 14 Forte Navi and we have NO issues with Afef. She is sweet and extremely professional in every angle we can think off. What took our visit downhill FAST was the sales management desk. Here is the thing, if Kia thinks that customers come in (for the most part) uninformed, I would encourage them to think again. People DO CONDUCT research on pricing and in these times people want to get the most for every dollar spent. Our initial quote by Sales Management for a fully loaded Kia Forte top of the line was $29K. THAT IS PATHETIC!!!!!. Considering the car at MSRP is at best 26K per the FACTORY WEBSITE, we thought this was laughable at this point. If they are starting at such a ridiculous price point, which they did, this broke the trust right off the bat with my wife and I. Literally having come from the auto industry myself years ago, you either make a good impression right off the bat or you dont. and that more often than not presents itself through the initial quote. This boils down to where you start. Needless to say after about hour and half a polite sales manager approached us aiming to massage the deal a bit, but still, and to our surprise, we were STILL working off the 29 grand they were determined to stick to. My wife and I walked out of Orlando Kia right away. A Few days later we received a follow-up call from a different sales manager dropping 4 thousand off the deal without barely putting up a challenge edge wise. What That basically told me is that their first quote was nothing more than an effort to make a huge profit at our expense and that of our trade which had huge equity. My question then became, one of the obvious....why not start from the MSRP which is fair instead of the $29K when we got there. That answer was never answered.In summary I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ms. Chelbi, she IS an AMAZING asset to Kia Orlando East in every respect, but I cannot say the same thing for the Sales manager(s) who we worked with her that day who came up with such a ridiculous starting point. The lesson here is that whatever you do WATCH the quotes and KNOW your MSRP when you come in so you have a factual understanding of what the cars price is. KNOW YOUR PRICES. I cannot stress this enough. Aside and all told the dealership is very friendly and courteous overall. If this dealership cannot work with realistic numbers off the bat and work down rather than up, I personally would not go there myself. I have yet to go to a Hyundai dealership in comparison where I can get as good a car (in this case an Elantra Limited vs Forte EX) fully loaded and pay no more than $26K. To have a $29K quote as a starting point on Kia's part is insulting. Had they started based on a real number between $25K or at MOST $26K, we would not have had an issue and likely at this stage we'd be proud Kia owners and even promote Kia of Orlando East as an amazing dealership. I would consider KIA in a future purchase but the moral here is it boils down to people and it boils down to real fair pricing numbers from where to start negotiations. If you start at a pathetic starting point, why even continue doing business there. I hope Kia East learned from this a bit. THey have LOTS of potential and have made a good positive name. This was to our collective surprise a disappointing visit only because of ridiculous numbers and nothing more not only during our visit but later in the manner the sales manager talked to me and my wife on a followup call. Being real in this day and age offers more potential in sales than to aiming to make thousands off people's back under the assumption that most people don't research or are naive. Newsflash..they do research and they do know when someone is being sincere or is trying to make a buck off of them.

Came in and purchased a New Kia Forte. Worked with George & Robert, both were very friendly and helpful. Oludare helped make the deal happen. Eddie completed the finance paperwork with us; he was great. Showroom was very clean, the process of the purchase was fairly easy. I'm not a fan of buying cars or car shopping; as it can be stressful... but this visit was not that way. We didn't feel pressured to purchase, which was nice.

I went to Orlando Kia East based on a commercial I heard on the radio promising up to 7,000 over trade value for a new Kia and that bad credit was no problem. When I walked in I was greeted by a salesman who immediately started showing me a few vehicles. When we went inside to discuss numbers I advised him how much i could afford for down payment and what I wanted my monthly payment to be. He left and came back with some figures that weren't even remotely close to what i told him. I was about to walk out of the door when he told me to hold on a second. I waited for a long time. Then a finance person comes to my table and tells me what a piece of crap my car is and that i can't drive it anymore and that i need to leave in a Kia. Of course, this got me excited. After a lot of fast talk i got him to reduce the monthly and down payment. it was still more than i wanted but i was anxious to get a new car, you know, cause mine was a piece of crap. After 6 HOURS of waiting, I was finally able to leave and they let me take the new 2014 Rio that I just "bought" home. This is where the nightmare began. After about a week the salesman TEXTED me and said "bring the car back". No explanation, no apologies, nothing. I finally found out that they had not secured financing for me and i was being threatened to bring the car back or they would come pick it up. I was told I need to have a cosigner or bring it back. I wanted to avoid that total embarrassment so I had my father cosign, reluctantly. After that was approved I was able to upgrade to a Forte. Completely happy with the car but now another week later I'm being harassed THROUGH TEXT by the finance manager that I haven't paid my down payment completely. I would never recommend this dealer to anyone. They just want to get cars out the door at any expense. Go somewhere else.

I went to this Kia dealership on 3/25/14 to get an appraisal on my 2012 Soul and see if I could possibly trade my car in for a 2013/2014 used model either a Soul or Sorento. As I was walking in the I was approached by Pedro (who did not introduce himself until the very end when he walked me to my car) and asked if I needed any help, I advised him of what I came in for and we went inside and sat down to get some information and discuss what I was there for. I had seen online a Kia Sorento 2013 with 19k miles on sale for 17k through another dealership (Classic Honda) but I figured let me try Kia dealership and see if I can get something within that range. After explaining to him what I was specifically looking for we went to the car lot to look at cars and immediately he steered me to the brand new models of 2014 Soul's after I stated to him that I was not interested in a brand new model because It would not fit the budget I was working with. We went ahead and took the new model for a test drive as he insisted. I loved it but needless to say I was not going to be able to get it. After returning from that test drive he finally decided to show me used 2013 models. We came across one model that was 2013 16k miles priced at $16,888.00 which I loved and felt it was more fitting for what I could actually afford. I asked if we could test drive it and I was denied, another couple came and started looking at the car with another sales rep. Pedro seemed to get upset that I was not the least bit interested in the newer model. I told him I want to see what numbers they can come up with on the used Soul. We went back inside and after about 30 minutes he finally comes back and shows me the cost sheet. When I saw the sheet I started to get upset, he had brought me a cost sheet for the brand new 2014 model which I specifically stated I WAS NOT going to get into that. Then to add insult to injury he tells me you will have to put money down there's no way to purchase this car without a down payment. I said first of all why? Secondly, why are we looking at the 2014 when I said no numerous times. He advised me that due to my credit score I would need a down payment, I asked him well I know I have good credit so where is my score sheet. He shows me the score sheet and it was the score sheet from 2/16/13 with my old credit score from when I stopped by and first started browsing for cars a year ago. At this point I was infuriated that they would try to play me for a fool. After me telling him I did not want a new model he started to try to talk me into a lease. I said absolutely not, but he kept trying to push for that sale. I never received the cost sheet for the 2013 model and I was told the other sales rep is already working on that one, and after all that mess he tells me "I'm sorry but I'm going to have to let you go" At that point I couldn't be happier to leave. He walked me to my car and was STILL pushing for the lease and it wasn't until then that he gave me his card and told me his name. I found this dealership to have the worst customer service and it was unprofessional. The receptionist kept interrupting him to remind him that he had his lunch waiting for him at her desk. All in all, horrible experience I have told all my friends and family and co-workers about this and some are in the midst of buying a new car. I do not recommend anyone to this particular dealership. I hope other buyers have better luck than I did.

I called in on a Thrusday and spoke to Miguel DeJesus. He claimed to be the Sales Manager. so I told him i was sending him a car via AAA tow truck, and he said no problem. I also asked him to have a list of used cars for sale in the $10,000 range when i was going to be in on Saturday. I texted him at 904.534.8724 letting him know the car was on its way, and he replied "Okay" My wife and i showed up on Saturday, asked for Miguel. When he walked up he asked me where was the car i was having towed over to him on Thursday. He said it was never brought there. I told him i would call AAA to see who signed for it. We saw it in the parking lot, but after walking around and talking with people, he founf the keys and who signed for it. I then asked him for the list of cars to see, he said he didnt have anything put together. He then pushed us off to another sale rep named Tony. he walked my wife around and shower her some cars. Not finding anything in the $10,000 range, He told me that they have alot of cars coming in and out of that place and something new may come in over the next few days. I asked him to call me in the next day or two and let me know what he finds. It is now a week later and still have not heard back from anyone. i went to Napleton Volkswagon last night and bought a brand new car (CASH)! When i called Miguel DeJesus to let him know that i was going to have the car towed from his lot, and asked why i never received a call back from anyone, he was quick to blame Tony. Keep in mind Miguel DeJesus was my first contact, and he said he was the Sales Manager! I let him know that i went somewhere else and bought a brand new car last night, and he had nothing to say but "you only asked for something in the $10,000 range". Is this how you treat people who don't tell you they want a brand new car? Kia is the car we wanted, but Miguel DeJesus (904.524.8724) misrepresented not only his dealership, but also Kia, and has turned our interests away from Kia. I would never reccomend Kia to anyone who wants good, honest customer service from a Sales Manager, whose name is not even on this website.If this is the kind of people Kia employs, they are not worth buying from.

After a horrific experience it Deland Kia I have to say that I was very hesitant i'm trying to buy a new car again. My husband and I walked into Orlando Kia east. And Melinda took care of us. She took my bad experience and turned it into an awesome experience. This is how one is supposed to be treated when you buy a brand-new car. Melinda worked with us on pricing never pressured us she truly knows her stuff. There was nothing to hide she laid everything out upfront. When we decided to purchase. She went above and beyond and took care of us. And when we got into our new vehicle our home address was already programmed in our navigation. I have lung issues in the new car smell makes me sick. I had mentioned that to Melinda. When I got there all the windows were down and there was a container with coffee grounds to help with the smell. Melinda isn't just a salesperson. She truly listens and she cares. That is a quality that separates Melinda from a lot of the other salesman out there. Malinda I cannot thank you enough for helping me not to give up. And taking such good care of us. We are truly blessed to have met you and we absolutely love our car. We will shout to the hills. To tell everybody about Orlando Kia east. THANK YOU so much.

Worst dealership I have ever attended. Having viewed a used car that would not start agreed to come back next day and test drive and discuss further. Spent over two hours working with the sales guy who was the best of the bunch and apologitic of a bad experience, but the finance person has no people or customer skills and makes it quite clear he thinks hes doing you a favor. Anyway secured deal to buy car with salesman then go to finance person . Bear in mind I was paying cash , then get told by sales / finance manager we have sold it on the internet now for a better price and its your fault you lost this deal . Left this facilty after a few choice words and head home . Low and behold get a call about 20 minutres after being in house. We are really sorry , but this should never of happened and I will escalate to my manager , but by the way the internet buyer could not get finance so are you still interested. Much to my reluctance I said yes I may be if you can negotiate something for my trouble and the unproffesionalism of selling the car from under me while we were doing a deal. No this cannot be done offer remains as was still agreed , do you mind driving back down at 8pm this evening and buying this car.NO DEAL, Dont go here !!

My mother recently purchased a new Optima from Orlando Kia East. I have to say this has been the worst experience ever. I mean ever, not just in the car buying world. They pressured us to get a car that day, but didn't have the car in the configuration we wanted. So they sent for one from Orlando Kia North. They said it would be there in an hour or two, so about 2:00PM. The car didn't show up until around 7:00PM. We were in our car about to leave when it showed up, and now regret not just leaving. One of the things she wanted was a rear view camera. Since they couldn't make that package work, the sales manager promised to install one in the mirror. When we called back to find out about this they said it would cost an extra $200. This was after we had already bought the car and were promised one would be installed. After about a week of arguing they agreed that it would be all on them, but she would lose her compass (something she really values and needs in her car), the garage door opener and the automatic dimming. None of that was told to us when purchasing the car. Anytime you call they either don't return your call, or if they do it is to talk about something completely different than what you were inquiring. This has caused more stress than anything we have ever encountered. After all of this hassle we just wish they would refund us and take the car back. I will never buy another Kia, nor will I recommend this dealership to anyone. In fact, I will go far out of my way to make sure no one I know goes here. They do not deserve any sales for the stuff they have put us through.

This was by far the best experience I've had with purchasing a vehicle. From the moment I started looking at the website to being contacted by Mr. Vega all the way through the entire process was simply outstanding. I was able to purchase a brand new vehicle with not the best credit in the world thanks to the finance department for doing everything possible to make it work. Everyone at this dealership was friendly and helpful and had smiles on their faces when they walked past. Was asked several times by other employees if I was being helped during those times when you have to wait. Just overall, this was the perfect way to purchase a new car!!!Thank you Orlando Kia East!!!!!!

Beware of shopping here. We went to check out a few cars and they tried to pull the old give me your key and license and we will start checking out your credit. When we did not find anything we liked the key and license mysteriously got misplaced. After several sales and finance managers tried to persuade us to buy something that we did not want we finally received our keys and license back. That process took about an hour with a lot of frustration. Stay away from this place.

Matt was an excellent resource and talked me into buying a new car when I was originally there to have my two year old Kia Optima serviced. The out the door price was higher than I really wanted pay and I didn't get as much as I would have liked for the trade. At the end of the day Matt was able to close the deal and I have a very nice new car. I had no intention on buying a new car until Matt talked me into a test drive. He accurately assessed my desires in a car and saw I had a inclination towards the Cadenza limited. He then was able to highlight some of the features that my Optima was missing that I have wanted since driving my wifes Ford Edge such as the adaptive cruise control. I am a repeat customer of this dealership having bought my first new car there. The only criticisms I would have are they keep the numbers moving quickly and if you are a numbers guy like me, it can be confusing to see what they are doing when you only get partial data back. I frequently had to run calculations to see how they reached some of the numbers they got. The owner introduced himself and worked with me on using their financing beating my banks rate by half a point. The results speak for themself with this dealer. I happily bought a new car I didn't need but wanted and would very likely shop at this dealer again when its time to get another car.

We were mis leaded. After over four hours dealing with sales and financing, we agreed on a monthly payment. This after we disclosed all of our personal information. We were told we were approved and we signed a lot of documents and were given only one set of keys. When I asked why only one set of keys we were told that the other set was locked in an office because it was Sunday. We were told to come back on Monday to get the other key. So we left the dealer very happy with our new car. I called Monday and was told that they were still trying to get my loan approved, that it could take a few days. Tuesday I called the dealer and asked for the financial manager but was told he was busy with clients. He never returned my call. So I called again Wednesday and the financial person told me he needed to talk to me in person. When I got to the dealer I was congratulated on the new lease. I was so exited. Then I was told that my monthly payment was going to be over $45 than what we had agree on Sunday. End of the story, I asked for my old car (2012 Passat) and left the dealer and went straight to David Maus VW dealer and in less than 2 hours I leased a new Passat. God works in mysterious ways.

It was a good experience, a little long in the process of negotiation and working out the contract. However, we were there on New Years Eve and we feel like we were treated very nicely.

Before I came to the dealership, I sent an email to the internet sales department explaining my situation in terms of needing a new car. In less than 24 hours, Jason called me and scheduled me to come in for an interview and a test drive. When I arrived at the dealership, he was readily available and took his time explaining the different purchase options that were available to me. That same day, I left with the Sportage that I wanted, in the color that I desired, at a price that I could afford. Jason was very insistent on making my experince 100% saitisfying and he accomplished that. Thanks for all of your help. I will definitely recommend Orlando Kia East to people considering purchasing a new/used vehicle.

This could have been a much better review if this dealership had been better organized. I bought two cars one new and one used. My sister was with me and she gave Bill Mastroni the keys to her old car along with her house keys. He lost the keys and it took several hours to locate them. I bought a new car and this is my first car purchased in Florida. I was not informed by Eddie Oliveras of the extra charges in Florida for a new plate. So, surprisingly, I received a bill from the dealership for $177.86. I was surprised since I had paid cash for both vehicles. This miscommunication could have been avoided with the proper notification of this fee ahead of time. Also, the times that I have had to visit the dealership I have been made to wait for 20 minutes or more before being helped. These times were not busy for this dealership so this was definitely not acceptable. One last thing, there was a promotion for a free TV with the purchase of a new Kia. I never received this TV nor did I ever get any information on why this was denied.Update: 01/07/2013 Today I met with the general Manager (Luis Morejon). I am updating this review to reflect the quality of service that I received from him. He listened to my concerns and went well beyond what he needed to do to rectify the situation. I believe that Orlando Kia East and it's employees are committed to correcting problems that may occur as well as improving their business to truly make them better for potential customers. Besides my satisfaction, I have also met a person that I can truly call a friend in Mr. Morejon.

I saw their ad in the Sentinel on December 21. I called to ask about a Toyota Corolla. Based on the information given, I drove across town to test drive the car. When I arrived, Oludare directed me to George for assistance. George came back and asked if I could drive a stick shift. I immediately got very angry as I can not drive a manual and the person on the phone had said it was an automatic. I told them it was the 2nd time in 2 years that I came to the dealership for a used car and the prior time I had also been lied to. Oludare promised to find me a car within my budget. They came up with a Buick Lesabre. George explained he owned the same car. As we did the test drive, I asked him about what he liked about the car. Oludare did as promised and gave me a price on the car I could handle. I had to return on Sunday to complete the paperwork due to the late hour on Saturday. George had them wash the car again while I was completing the paperwork and also showed me his car. He explained some of the special controls to help me learn about my car. I had a problem on Monday night. I called George on Tuesday morning. He promised to get the matter fixed on Thursday as the dealership was closed. When I arrived Thursday Oludare and George made sure the car was fixed. George went to another store to get me a root beer soda which by luck turned out to be my childhood favorite. He sat and talked with me while I waited for the car to be ready. Both George and Oludare were able to turn an unhappy person into a very happy one.

I have no issues with the staff of this service center. My complaints are about corporate policies that they have to implement that resulted in a low rating.. Exorbitant charge for battery check ($45) when Firestone, Greenway Dodge, Autozone, etc do it for free. I will never go back for a battery check or change.. I transferred from Orlando KIA West but the records could not be transferred because of the system chosen by corporate. In this day and age, why should this be a problem?

Jose was excellent,very nice and personalable. He was helpful and did the little things,like helped me clean out my old vehicle. Although he was new to the sales job, I didn't feel it took away from his ability. One of the things I like the most was he was not pushy but very knowledgeable about the Kia. Overall my experience with Jose was very pleasant. I bought the kale green Kia Soul

This was perhaps the fastest deal that I have been able to get in Orlando KIA East. I literally went in during my lunch hour to look at the new 2014 Kia Optima and because of the excellent customer service provided by Melinda Elannan I wound up buying the car that I wanted. She was fast and extremely attentive to every question I had. The knowledge that Melinda has on the product was precise and easy to understand. This has been my second car purchase at Orlando KIA East and I will continue to use and recommend this dealership to my friends and family. As a United States Marine Corps veteran I was treated with the utmost respect and I truly appreciated that. I hope when the time comes to buy a new car I will have the pleasure of working with Melinda Elannan once again. She is a valuable asset to Orlando KIA East Team !!!Ruben BermudezOrlando, FL

I originally bought my Optima from Orlando Kia "WEST" and was not impressed by the staff, professionalism and the building itself. With that being said they did get me a great deal on the car I leased. So they still helped me out. But I lost some trust along the way due to some negligence in the finance department and the closeout of the deal. So when it came to my first service on the vehicle I decided to go to their sister store Orlando Kia EAST since it was a new dealership and it wasn't too far from my house. First impression of the new building was impressive, the cleanliness and smell exceptional and the friendliness was just right. Plenty of cars to look at inside the showroom and there is lots of coffee available. The waiting room has nice comfy leather seats and a big screen TV to keep you busy if you decided to wait. My service department advisor Edward was very professional, thorough and kept me up to date on everything. I was impressed! I have been there three times so far and have always received the same quality service each time. I would recommend this dealer to anyone for either a purchase of a new vehicle or the service department. Kudos!

Both Freddy and Anthony did their best to make us happy and overall were a pleasure to deal with. Your finance manager, Eddie was also easy to work with and friendly despite the unexpected absence and his stretched capacity, he still made us feel welcome.

Both worked with us to our complete satisfaction, and upon completion of the paperwork, Blake sat in the new vehicle with us to explain all the features and answer any questions we may have on how to operate the various items. The only negative was dealing with and waiting for the person in the finance office to review the paperwork, we waited over 2 hours, and it was a cash deal with no complications. It turned out the only reason we had to go thru this process was to try to have us purchase the Extended Warrantee, which I declined.

At first the numbers were not working for me but at the end he kept fighting for me even though I was willing to give up on the deals. He was an amazing a person from the beginning to the end.

Jim came in on his day off because I had inquired about a vehicle on the website and told him I was going to look at it on a certain day, (not knowing it was his day off) and he didn't even tell me that it was his day off until later in the day and we were just "casually" talking. I appreciate that he was willing to meet me on the day that was convenient for me. He was very nice and very accommodating. He "joked around" with me and made me feel comfortable. The internet vehicle ended up being a vehicle I did not like so I just wanted to "look" at what was available at the price range I had given him. I wasn't sure what I wanted in a car because I had been driving a Nissan Titan pickup truck for 6 years and wasn't sure what was "on the market". I arrived at 12:30 at the dealership and I left at 7:15 p.m.!!!!! Some of it due to the fact that I looked at almost every model of vehicle that Kia has and some of it due to the fact that the dealership is a very busy place and everything takes "time"......lots of time!!!!!! Jim was VERY PATIENT with me during the ENTIRE day. On that note, I will say that every employee was very kind and accommodating. Other than the very long day, lots of it out in the hot sun (because I wanted to look at and drive quite a few vehicles) it was a very good experience. I have already recommended this dealership to a few friends. It is 60 miles from my house to the dealership but because of the vehicle on the website I thought I was interested in, I drove there and now I am so glad I did. I had been trying to find a vehicle for 9 days before going to Kia East and believe me I did not get the friendly customer service at ANY of the dealerships I had visited like I got at this dealership. Thank you for the nice experience and yes I will continue to recommend the dealership and yes I will buy from Kia East again if I find that I "love" my Kia as much as I loved my truck!!

Both Pedro and Borislav were extremely knowledgeable about Kia overall as well as the Optima and Sorento. There were no high-pressure sales tactics and they were both extremely friendly and helpful. We went in for an 2013 Optima but left with a 2014 Sorento based partly on the information they were both able to share with us. Eddie handled the financing and it was honestly one of the easiest and dear I say, enjoyable experiences that we've had of this kind. I would certainly recommend this dealer. It's a pity we'll be moving in the next few weeks because I would definitely have serviced the vehicle there.

They are no worse than any other dealer, but definitely no better. Took FOREVER to complete the transaction. We wanted to pay cash on Tuesday, they said the only way to keep the discounts they offered was to close the deal today by financing the car, so we ended up with a loan we did not want. We will be paying the loan off ASAP, but will have to pay interest in the meantime, and it took HOURS to complete the financing. Then the finance guy was kind of a jerk. He never gave us his name, even though we asked, and kept making mildly insulting comments he called jokes. Then he added a warranty package we didn't want, and had to start all over printing the paperwork. If I wasn't in desperate need of a vehicle due to a combination of unfortunate circumstances, I would have walked out several times. Be prepared - you will spend most of your day, and will have to fight for every dollar. Bring lunch.And the saga continues. When I had my trade towed, they WOULD NOT TAKE IT AT THE KIA DEALERSHIP. I had to take it to Alex at Greenway Ford, and when we got to Greeneway Ford, no one knew where it should go, or who Alex was. It is now day three and I still do not have a second key, an owners manual, or floor mats. So I have to drive to the dealership AGAIN.

I cannot express adequately my experience in your dealership, I was frankly not expecting what I found. I had already visited other famous dealerships in the Orlando area, Toyota, Chevrolet, Honda, Nissan, and an Infiniti. None of them treated me with as much professionalism, respect and friendliness as yours. Everybody there, with the exception of one of your finance guys were/are awesome, (John can fill you in the details). Carl was great, no hard sale, listened to my answers to his questions, and addressed them in a very professional manner.If you had been there that day last week you might not believe what I am typing, but it is all true. Mistakes were made, but your people made it right, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My co-workers have all fallen in jealousy over my new Forte, and have already made plans to visit your dealership, not the one closer to their homes to look not just at the Forte, but Sportages and Optimas. I hops to help you sell several other vehicles in the coming weeks and months.

I usually never write a review but I really wanted to take time out of my day to share what an amazing experience I had at this Kia dealership. I had come in because I was really interested in looking at the Kia Optimas, they had caught my eye on the road so I wanted to give them a ride. When my girlfriend and I pulled into the lot we walked around a bit looking at their inventory, then Bill came up introduced himself and was curious to what kind of vehicle we were looking for. The whole time we were there Bill was very attentive and responded well to what kind of car I was really looking for. He told us specs of the cars we were curious about and overall just listened to what we needed not just pushing what he wanted to push. Finally when I found the car I wanted we got down to the paper work and Bill really did his best to try to earn my business. I had a great experience from everyone I interacted with, and am very pleased with my purchase. I highly recommend this dealership and Bill.

I have been with Orlando KIA East for about 5-6yrs now & have bought 3 new cars from this dealership. I had a 2011 Optima SX, 2012 Optima SX that was a custom car that I put thousands & thousands of dollars into making it look like the sports car it was. Everyone that had ever seen my car said it looked like that bat mobile. I had so many compliments on that car it was not even funny & it was very painful to have to sell but the entire staff at the dealership made the entire process go as smooth as possible. Just as of this past Saturday Aug 17, 2013 I bought my 3rd vehicle from them being the 2014 Sorrento SXL. I can tell you that all the staff are friendly, professional & make you feel like family from the moment you walk into the dealership. My sales person Alex Zayas on my most recent purchase is a great sales man. The guy that Alex reports to for getting the deal approved would be Mohammed & this guy I have no words to describe but one awesome guy. Anyone that can put up with my nagging, pestering & 10 million questions & still treats you with respect, dignity & can continue to smile threw the entire process of buying a car is definitely someone that I would recommend to do business with. My financial manager that I signed all of the final paperwork with was Eddie Oliveras & let me tell you something about this character. Not only does this guy make you feel very comfortable during the entire process as well but he also jokes around with you to make you smile & definitely feel like family. He explains everything to you in detail so when you leave there you have no questions on your mind that may make you wonder if maybe you forgot to ask something. These guys are like family to me & as far as I am concerned they will always have my business. This is why in my book they deserve the ratings that I have given them. Even the GM of the dealership always greets me on a regular basis & makes me feel welcome every time I am there. Weather I am there for a oil change, to stop by & visit for a moment or even to go to the parts department they are always the same way towards me. The parts manager Mark & his Asst. Mike have always been of great help with their suggestions. No where you go on the property trust me you will never have a bad experience. Signed Darren Chase

I am very concerned about the sales tactics of your Orlando Kia East car sales location. My mother (Mary J. Snider) was in need of a car and she liked the Kia for its warranty features as advertised on TV. My mother(Mary J.Snider) was prayed upon by means of high pressure sales tactics. Please let me explain.I received a call from the Salesman listed above Ray Okbay asking me to go online and give him rave reviews about himself and how exceptional his service was for my mother (Mary J. Snider)who was sitting in front of him at the time. My mother is elderly and would not be able to complete this task on her own. Mr. Okbay was at first prompting me to give him all 5's and to briefly give a statement that my mother is happy and would refer him to her friends and family. Something was not right about the conversation and I asked him to not do this and I would not give false information about the service my mother was receiving. I explained to Mr.Okbay that my mother is the one who would need to give him such Kudos and Accolades due to the fact that I was not there. In addition to that conversation I explained to Mr.Okbay that my mother is in need to purchase new or used vehicle and she is on a fixed income due to being elderly and retired. I again explained in detail that my mother was ready to purchase a new/used vehicle. Mr.Okbay not really knowing who I was or if in deed I was her daughter gave personal and confidential information about my mothers credit history and was ranting and raving in regards to the fact that she could purchase any vehicle that she wanted because "her credit is that good." Late that evening my mother calls me very upset because Mr.Okbay Leased her a vehicle and it was not for purchase. My mother explained to me that she was not educated on what kind of contract she was signing and the salesman was looking out for his best interest because she thought she was purchasing a vehicle. My mother then returned the vehicle the next morning. I would like to see this Kia location Audited for quality because noone should ever have an experience like this. Salesman should have the best interest of the client at heart not their pocket. These kinds of salesman reflects the culture and values of the dealership. This says a lot. I will definetly not recommend this dealership to anyone and if anyone asks they will know the name of the dearlship and the Salesman involved because this is the kind of employees that the dealership has for customer service.

I actually like visiting the dealership since they always have something new to showcase, which keeps me interested...and the waiting are is nice too (kid friendly)Service schedule is great, since I can drop off before going to work, and pick it up on my way back...Highly Recommended

During my visit to the dealership , the sales gentleman whom I will refer to as Halil from here on out was awesome. I could tell he was very new at the job . I told Halil what I was looking for and he we explored the inventory of my request he answered every question I asked and if there was something he did not know he got an answer, He worked very hard to get my request accomplished. The service was just an awesome experinced and I will refer him for his good job as well as the finance department... Thank you guys for awesome service.

Donnie was very honesty and provided valuable information. I enjoyed working with him and understood what I liked in a car. Although he tried to get me to look at another vehicle because of my financial limitations, he knew I wouldn't truly be happy. Donnie was so great that I referred a friend to him the next day and he ended up purchasing a car with his daughter!

The reason I'd never buy another Kia is not because it isn't a great car -- it is -- it's just that getting service is a pain in the you-know-where. Orlando Kia East has only two service reps. They're tied up with customers all day, so if you want to call to find out the status of your vehicle -- good luck! You'll hardly ever get them! Very, very frustrating! Likewise, it's a smaller service department, and you can expect it will take double or triple the time to get your car back than a U.S. dealership. Yeah, they do a good job -- but they get top dollar -- and the frustration factor just isn't worth it.

Drove an hour to look at a 2002 Jeep Wrangler that I was told was in "great" condition. I get there, the exterior looked like complete crap! Scratches everywhere, & the frame had rot holes from all the rust. When I brought it up, he still continued to tell me how great of shape it was in, after I was able to scrape up a pretty good size pile of rust on the ground. When I told him the Jeep wasn't anywhere close to being in great shape like he told me & that he wasn't going to get $10,777 for it unless he was going to rip off someone who didn't know what they were looking for, he told me "You can go shop somewhere else." They want WAY too much for vehicles that aren't worth it & try to rip you off.

I have been to several local Kia dealers and have had nothing but problems. Today I brought my 2011 Optima SX to Kia Orlando East for the first time and have never been happier with a dealership service center. I worked directly with the service manager Mr. Kyle Williams and he was honest and straight forward with what needed done on my car and didn't try to up-sell services that were not needed. I pass 4 Kia dealerships on my may from my house to Kia Orlando East and I will now go nowhere else. My car had a rather serious turbo problem and he knew exactly what to do and had the car in and fixed within one hour which was very impressive. I decided to go ahead and have an alignment and oil change done after the car was fixed. They were quite busy but the alignment and oil change took only another 45 minutes. I couldn't be happier with the service and work done to my car. I will not trust anyone else to service my 2011 Optima SX from now on.

I want to start by saying that Melinda Elannan is a very nice person and I know that her job is to sell cars. I also want to say that I know that my credit isnt the greatest. When me and my friend arrived things were good, Melinda was very attentive and allowed us to look through cars at our leisure and we test drove a used Soul. Then the decision was made that I could get a better deal if I bought a new car. I made it clear that I wanted to have a payment under $400. We spent probably an hour with Melinda trying to convince me that I needed to have a payment over $400 dollars. They brought a brand new Soul around for me to drive when I got in the front seat didnt feel as comfortable as the used one. This is where it went downhill. I asked for my keys to my old car back and apparently this is the ploy to keep you at the dealership. Melinda said to give her a minute and when she came back, she had a better deal for me but it was still over $400. By the way, she still didnt have my keys, and at this point I was feeling like I was being held "HOSTAGE". I demanded my keys back then and once again I stood waiting for my keys. This time Melinda came back with my keys but also with the best Deal yet!!! I turned it down because by this point I was feeling like a second class citizen because Melinda was pushing for a sale! She asked my friend if she would co-sign for me!!!! She didnt even ask me if I would consider having someone sign with me!!! I am giving this review because there is NOT A WORSE FEELING than being held "HOSTAGE"!This is shady practices in my opinion. Melinda was very nice but is being led down the wrong path in how to treat people!!!!!

Worst experience EVER! I had so many issues when signing my deal. I went into the dealership in Feb 2011 to shop for cars. I purchased my 2011 Kia Optima on 3/2/11 ... I ended up having to sign my deal 3 different times. Now I had a horrible experience but the dealership tried to fix it by giving me a bunch a free oil changes which I never used. Well fast forward til March 2013. I go in and get my tires changed and few other things done. I spend nearly $1500 on my car. I was fairly satisfied with the service, until one of my tires popped and I called in regards to any warranty on the $105.00 tire that cannot be used. I was told by the smart at$$ advisor that should call my insurance company. Hmmm call my insurance company and pay $500 deductible for a $105 tire... So when I asked to speak with his manager he proceeded to hang up on me. I called back and left a message for the service manager. I still haven't gotten a call back so I ended up having to call Kia Corporate Offices and file an official complaint. All they want is your money and they don't care what they do to get it. Once they have it they treat you with complete disregard. Go to Deland Kia they will treat you better.Any Kia dealership in central Florida is owned by the same company and they will treat you like garbage!!

I discussed the vehicle selection showing on the web site with Mike prior to arriving. My original choice was the Soul but the eventual purchase was a Rio. Mike was extremely helpful in dicussing the various options . My final choice was set after a road test. I was extremely satisfied with you r staff including Sales, Finance and Service. I would have no problem recommending Kia and in particular Orlando Kia to anyone. If I have another purchase in the future I will return because I did not encounter any snow job. It was refreshing to have a Car Dealership who was helpful and straight forward with no of the usual games and verbal diarrhea.

Alex was one of the sales reps I worked with 2 years ago for my first Kia. I am happy he is still with the dealership and was more willing to consider looking at the 2014 model because I had a great first experience then. Alex is honest, straight forward, knowledgable and has an easy-going attitude. He was willing to let me walk away and come back - but also followed up. He was willing to let me say no, after I listened to all of the facts and options. I was comfortable making a choice to trade in my fairly new Kia for another new Kia and with Alex's easygoingness and the Financial reps openness it really made it almost fun! I won't be surprised if I start talking to him again about another car in another two years. I really love that when I go in to have service on my Kia I can say hi and the new location on East Colonial is phenomenal!

We were pushed onto a new salesman (Ray). Emilio should have guided Ray who didn't even have a business card, he had run out). He didn't know many features on the 2013 Kia Soul which we found out after buying the car. He told us we would get 0% interest and $1000 rebate-not true. When going through financing we were told less gas mileage, less insurance, found out can't have both rebate and 0% financing, etc. High pressure to purchase extended contract.

Ed was fantastic and is the reason we keep coming back to our dealership. We hit 60K on our Sedona and needed to get the require maintenance, plus some odds and ends like driver seat switch, dash compartment door, center console electrical issue. Ed understood exactly what we wanted, figured out how to keep our costs down by using warranty when possible, applying discounts since the maintenance would require having the engine exposed and reduced the labor of the individual jobs. I can't recommend them enough!

Mike Mannix went above and beyond to assist my husband and I in finding what we were looking for in a vehicle. Mary also was extremely friendly, courteous, and informative while we were test driving the vehicles. Once we finalized our selection, Jose assisted us with the financing portion of the sale and ensure that we understood the process very simply. After leaving the car lot with our new 2013 Kia Sorento, we realized that we were missing the antenna on the car. We also realized we left an item in our "trade in" vehicle. Mike not only got the item from our trade in, but he then took the item and antenna and sent it to us overnight so that we wouldn't have to drive the hour and a half back to the dealership.

My rating is based on the dealings with the salesman, Robert Sconzo. Robert is the only reason I would ever return to this dealersship. He is a genuine guy, not a creepy car salesman. He has redeemed my faith in the profession. I wish I could say the same for the finance guy "Sam" (I think was his name)as he needs to attend charm school and learn how to treat people with respect.Robert went out of his way to help settle the deal. Robert is, even now after the sale, having to do someone else's job by sending me the paperwork I was not given by the finance guy. The only bad thing I can say about Robert is that he is a Jets fan, go Giants!

I visited this dealership to get a car an was mislead an lied to . They tried to sell me a car for $1800 more than was advertised . When I was alerted by a family member of mine that on the Internet it was listed for less than what they tried to sell the car to me for I pointed this out to the sales guys an they replied it was a weekend sale an I was there on a Monday . When I got a bad feeling about this situation I said I wasn't comfortable about this DEAL I was bombbareded with a lot of things like what my creidit was an how much money I had . I've talked to the GM at this dealership an the only thing I got out of this conversation was an apology an excuses . No please come in an we will stand by our advertisement . No we want your business . So buyer beware especially woman they do not care about you . Please do not mention anything about God cause the conversation will end .

This dealer has been the worse dealer I have dealt with. The prices on the internet are way off and are used to lead you to their dealer. They had a poor inventory and offered me a very low trade in value for my KIA which was in excellent condition. I decided to go back to David Maus VW and ended up trading in both my vehicles. We drove out the lot with two new VWs. They were honest and the prices were correct on their website with no lies. No promoting David Maus, but I feel people should know the truth. This dealer is filled with crooks. I would never pay 38,000 for a Kia optima. I bought a VW Passat VR6 Car of the Year for 30,200. WOW, what a deal. Goodbye KIA. I guess you lost two car sales.

I contacted the dealership through the internet. I filled out a credit app and received a phone call from Ryan. He proceeded to tell me how bad my credit was and was I aware of it. Yes, I am aware of it, but we have the income, house, etc. He said he would get back to me that night. He would see what he could do, but inquired if I could have a co signer. I said yes, if needed. That was on a Wednesday and I never heard back from him. Like a fool I called him on Wednesday, a week later. He said he was going to be unable to do anything for me, but I said I have a co signer. Oh, ok, tune changes. Have her fill out the app and I'll get back to you. So the person does so but contacts me to tell me she does not feel comfortable with him, and it doesn't sound like he knows what he's doing. FYI, she work for Audi, VW, Porsche. She knows about sales. Anyway, Ryan then calls back to ask me when I can come in. I can pick out a car and get it on paper to start the process....Ryan, did you forget about my upside down vehicle I am currently in?? Now the tone changes again. He has no clue. I explain the situation, and again he says I will get back to you. Today is Friday, no response yet from Ryan. So I call him. Oh hi, sorry I didn't call you back, yeah, I ended up leaving early that day. He then proceeded to tell me, yeah, well there is nothing we can do for you with your vehicle. So, in short, Kia provides poor customer service! I'm not upset because I was unable to get a car with Kia, I'm upset at the fact that I was treated so poorly. Customer service is very important and it is sad when people lose sight of that. It hurts everyone, especially in this case the business.

Terrible sales team here. I walked in with a quote from their top competitor, the Sonata, told them if they match I will buy it. Simple as that. They then tried to strong arm me and tell me about all these residual numbers. I was corrected rudely by the Sales Manager when rounding the difference up to $13 per month (he was sure to let me know it was $12.33). Long story short, they were willing to watch me walk out the door and go to their competitor over "$13" per month....and possibly $20,000 total sale. They neglected to shake my hand and rudely walked away leaving me sitting at the table alone. I walked into Hyundai and had a car (and a quote even lower than the orig. offer) in 10 minutes. I am embarrassed to say I wanted the Optima and their team was the worst. Don't buy here.

I began looking at new vehicles just to see what was out there - I was driving a 2001 Saturn L200 that was in great shape, so I really didn't need a new car, I just wanted to shop around so when I did need a new car, I would not have to rush to get one. The first time I visited Orlando Kia East, Korey Snowden met us at the door and was very helpful in finding me the exact car I wanted: a Forte EX. After a pleasant test drive, we went inside to talk numbers. The manager who was working with us and Korey, Emilio, was not very friendly at all, and almost seemed like he was talking down to me for not wanting to pay the unwavering price he was offering. I walked out. That being said, I loved that Forte and Korey had been great, so we kept some correspondence about other options I had. Several weeks later, I was doing some online research and spotted a 2011 Forte EX in their inventory, and it was listed at a great price. I notified Korey immediately, and he got to work on making me a deal just as quickly. I walked away with the exact car I wanted, with most of its warranty left on it. I explicitly told Korey that we did not want to do business with Emilio again, and we instead did business with Mike Shah, who was also great. Mike managed to get the price down to what I could afford, and even let me take the car with me that night with just the down payment, even though I had not yet received the check for the loan from my bank.I would recommend this dealership, as long as, like any other car buying experience, you have done your research and understand the numbers you are working with, and exactly what you can afford. There are folks here who want to see you happy, and want to see you in a car that you love, and they will do what they can to make sure that happens. I cannot say enough for Korey, who was very patient with me, and went out of his way to put me in my new 2011 Kia Forte EX. Very pleased :)

I can not tell you what a misirable experience we had. First, I feel sorry for anyone who does no have internet. They have three different pricing structures. An internet price, a cost price and a sticker price. They do not inform you of the internet price unless you say you have seen it. Second, they try to steel your trade. We submitted a 2010 Toyota Rave 4 Limited w/56K miles. They offered $13.4 car max paid us $16K. I will never go back to this dealership and will tell everyone they are not honorable.

Yusuf Kothari was very polite but not honest about having the color of car we wanted and led us to believe it was being deliver. We ended up taking another color car after waiting from Saturday to Tuesday and thats only because of the manager ( only one i consider to be honest with me) telling us they did make that year in that color.Then why we were busy doing the finance papers he was suppose to be getting our floor mats, cargo net and extra key, instead he said to come back the next day ( July 4th ) and we could obtain them. We did go back and was unable to get those items because they had a small crew working and no one in the parts department. To be fair about this someone was able to get our floor mats that day. So then we had to make another trip to the dealership to get the other items and not once was apology offer but was told we were not to get the cargo net by Mr. Kothari. After proving that it was on the sticker he did provide such item.Jose Navedo gave us a total of two business days before cashing our 95 dollar check instead of complying with our agreement of us bringing in the original title. We could have paid 85 dollars for a duplicate. Tried emailing and calling Mr. Navedo who still ( been 2 days since we left 4 phone messages and 1 day since sending him a email) has not bother to contact us.I have to say i do like the car but if i had to do it over again i would go to a different dealership.

I've been taking my car to Kia for scheduled maintenance a few years now. When I come in I'm greeted by Chad, in a friendly professional manner. We go over what is getting done and he takes my car in. He returns to explain what needs getting done and prices. I love that I can discuss the work being done before they continue. I'm usually out in a short time and he keeps me up to date. It's easy for me to ask questions about the car, and feel very comfortable while I wait. I have no complaints. Thank You Chad. Thank you Kia. Wishing you the best in the new location.

First I drove out of my way to go to your dealership to meet with Eric Flores after a less than pleasant experience at Orlando West Kia. When we called Kia, we called to ask about the 5000 trade in offer your operator said that they add the money in the deal even if your car is worth more they always give you the $5000. We were still confused at that statement, but we stayed on the line. She then called Eric to call me so that I can talk to him about a purchase. He immediately wanted me to come in. Eric called me and sent me a very nice email to have certain information ready like my paystub, references, ect. I was prepared to buy a car with a down payment. He told me to ask for him as sales people would be out to greet me and I would be dealing directly with him. He also said that he cuts out the middle man meaning that I would not deal with any sales managers on your floor. Your dealership was less than busy when I walked in. It turns out that he came out to greet me and just pawned me off to a sales rep as the middle man. I told them when I started that I was not interested in games. I asked the sales rep to tell me what cars that he had has the best incentives. He began to tell me that he needed to know what my situation was as he wanted to get me out of my situation. I told him that I was not in any situation, but was interested in purchasing a vehicle. He basically told me that he would need my information first to ask a sales manager if he can proceed to try to sell me a car. I find this completely ridiculous. He basically needed to ask permission to sell me a car or talk about cars. I have referred many a people to Orlando Kia, but I can tell you that this will never happen again. I had a less then pleasant experience at your Orlando West Kia as well so I went to Chrysler. They are more than happy to take the time with me and earn my business. I was leaning towards a Chrysler 300, but my wife wanted me to give Kia another chance as she was interested in the Sorrento and Optima Hybrid. I did ended up giving your dealership another chance only to find that you baited me yet again with false information and less and less professionalism.You dont know my finances or what I can buy. I can tell you that my wife and I will be buying two cars this year and they will not be Kias. I purchased one of the first new 2011 Kia Sorentos made in the USA and up to know, I was pretty happy. Thank you for the horrible experience in both of your dealerships.Sincerely,Alberto Dominguez

My experience with Orlando Kia East started out well enough I guess. I went in on a Friday evening looking to test drive only, wasnt prepared to buy anything but you know how dealers are. I did go home with a new Kia, it wasn't exactly what I wanted but I did agree to buy it and drove off with so I understand I'm stuck with it at this point. I wanted 2WD Sorento w/a 3rd row seat, I got an AWD w/no 3rd Row - they had a vehicle they wanted to get off their lot, they don't listen to what customers say, they will give you what they want you to have - of course you don't have to take it but they wore me down. I'm a single woman, I came in at 7pm after work with my 3 yr old. I told the sales people I wanted to test drive a car, wasn't ready to buy yet and I had a couple of other cars I was looking at, Kia was my 1st stop. They kept running back & forth with different offers, I finally agreed to purchase when they said they could get me the car at 3.9% interest, payment of $340.10 a month - $9,000 for my trade and a $500 gas card. I finally finished up about 10pm drove off with the car and was told to return Saturday to have it detailed. When I got there for the detail the finance mgr called me in and said I signed one of the documents in the wrong spot and he needed me to sign again in the right place. In good faith I signed and didn't look over the document with a magnifying glass. If I did I would have noticed that they were sneaking in a few changes in the finance terms. My bad, I know - of course you can't assume people have integrity or honest dealing when it involves them making money. I went on my way with the car after having it detailed. Kia touts a 22/32 mpg I didnt find that to be the case. I had the car for a week and had filled it up 4 times. Did not get my gas card btw. I did drive to south Florida over the holiday weekend I averaged 19 mpg on the highway. I called my sales guy Ramon (Ray) Martinez on a Monday, told him I wasnt in love with the Kia & I didnt want AWD b/c I wanted the maximum gas mileage. I asked if hed check on the possibility of letting me trade it in for a 2WD w/a 3rd row -- which is want I wanted all along. He said he would but never got back with me. The next day (Tuesday) I went into the dealership, Ray had conveniently went home early. I spoke with the sales manager forgot his name & hes not listed on this site. Explained my concerns he went away for a second, came back and said he could let me trade & sent a guy named Mike to appraise my trade and look for car on the lot that had what I was looking for. Mike was out for about 30 minutes then came back with a new deal for me -- $418 a month for the car I wanted. I said my deal now is $350 a month; Im only swapping options AWD for a 3rd row why is there such a big difference in payment. I assumed thered be a cost to trade but the car I had was worth more than the one I wanted. They were gonna give me $22,000 for my trade (which was the balance on the loan) not what it was worth. I asked to see a copy of my loan docs as I had not been provided a copy as of yet, this is when I saw the terms of the loan were not as I remembered them to be. Small changes 4.9% interest up from 3.9%, payment $351 up from $340, $8000 for my trade, down from $9000. Not huge differences but dishonest anyway way it goes. I would have been an OK customer up until this point, Im irate now. I told them to change the terms back to what Id agreed to originally, the GM Luis was on the phone when I left on Tuesday. I said Id be back on Thursday to sign the corrected documents but when I got there, more games. Docs were not ready for my signature and were not corrected once the finance mgr printed them out so I was there again for another hour arguing with these scammers. Finally they got the docs corrected I signed and they were to be sending the docs out overnight for my co-buyers signature. Needless to say, they didnt send them out and Im sure when the bank sends me the payment coupons it will be at the $351 4.9% interest rate. Long story short they bsed me & wasted my time instead of being upfront, It would have been easy enough to say -- hey we tried to get you the deal we presented but the bank wouldnt go for it do you want to continue under these new terms, more than likely I would have.

I got a car from Orlando Kia East salesman was great he did whatever he could to get me in a car and make sure I was happy. The issue was the sales manager named Sekula please be careful with this sneaky manager. So after I got the car they called me back the next day and told me my financing didnt go though, I understand things happen for a reason maybe it wasnt time to get a new car. The issue was when they where giving my car that I traded in and the way he told me about me getting denied, First he said I should pay my bills WOW really ok whatever just give me my car, guess what they cant find my keys, then guess what something was broking in my car that wasnt before also it have more miles than what I traded it in with and a lot more then you having to drive it across the street to park it know Im really upset excuse after excuse so I let him know that now I was getting frustrated and he truely came out and told me that he knows the feeling cause now I was frustration him. I was dumb founded did you really just tell me that WOW. I started to head out and my sales person was apologizing all the way to the car I told him I dont hold it against him he told me he knew what I was going though cause he has to deal with him everyday I told him I felt sorry for him and if he felt that abused he should report to the labor law courts. Like I said before everything was great till I met that manager, I would by a car from my salesman any day but if I walk in and that manager still there Im gone sorry, and please dont hold my sales person responsible for that dumb at55. he did everything he could to keep me happy wont say his name cause dont want him fired. Great job!!! I hope this doesnt happen to others.

Just wanted to give two thumbs up to both Raymond Martinez and Jean Paul Formby. I had an overall satisfying experience when buying my new Kia Rio at Orlando Kia East. Both Ray and Jean Paul where very on top of things when I inquired about purchasing a new fuel efficeint car. After serveral emails and phone calls I went over to take a look a a vehicle that fit all of my requirements. Eventhough I did not purchase that car I ended up with a much nicer car that had just become avilable. Overall I was pleased with the whole experience. Ray even called to tell me that I had left my sons sleeping bag in my trade in...he put it away for me until I was able to pick it up the following day. Thanks guys!!!!

Ray goes out of his way to ensure his customer is comfortable in every way possible. Even if it means foregoing his breaks to eat lunch or dinner. He ensured I as the customer test drove and purchased exactly what I wanted, and would be happy with.As long of a process the documents can be, Carson tries his best to make the process as easy as possible. I appreciated his honesty and ensuring I purchased what would be best, based on my personal driving history.

I had been involved in an accident which totaled my car so it rushed me into purchasing a new car. I had heard several commercials for this dealership on the radio and so I drove from Polk County to the East Orlando Kia Location. Upon entering the building I was met with a very friendly salesman named Alexander. I explained my situation and what myself and wife were looking for in a vehicle. We were in between rain showers and Alexander did show me several vehicles. We found a vehicle a 2012 Kia Optima and then it was discovered that I had some issues with my credit from a previous dealership. I thought all was lost at this time but one of the financial advisors came to my rescue. We filled out all the paperwork and the next day I faxed everthing they needed. I was contacted and told to come pick up my vehicle. They had worked through the credit issues and even though the interest rate was not favorable at this time I will be able to refinance at a later date. All of the individuals I worked with helped us get through this most difficult time in our lives. Out of all of the dealerships I have purchased vehicles from I can say these are the best, and honest employees I have ever dealt with. On pick up day Alexander even stayed way past his time to go home to make sure we had everything we needed. When ever I need another vehicle I will be heading back to this dealership. Thank you East Orlando Kia.

I ended up purchasing the Optima. I think I got a good deal. (??) He was very calm and did not rush me into purchasing a car just to sell a car. The finance manager that I worked with was on top of his game even though I did not buy additional warranties.Liked this dealership better than the one on 17-92 in sanford.

What a amazing experience, I've been in the market for some time now, but I drended the thought of going thought this painful process of purchasing a new car. But I can honestly say my time at Orlando Kia East was totally stress free and I would like to thank Susanne Ruppert who made all this possible. From the moment I walked in Susanne made me feel at ease by answering my questions and more importantly showing me the car that I was looking for. I was quite impressed with her knowledge of the SX Optima, this car has so many bells and whisltes,and her time given to explain them to me was truely appreciated. I cannot explain how happy I am with my new Kia Optima, this car is truely the bomb. Thank you Orlando Kia East a great car at a good price.

Ray Martinez was AWESOME! He was very friendly,knowledgeable and trustworthy (and I might add a great sense of humor)! He took a lot of time and had patience with us as we made our decision. We ended up buying a bright silver SOUL and LOVE IT!!! Everybody at the dealership was very helpful and welcoming. The only part of the Kia buying experience was when we signed the papers in the finance department and chose NOT to buy an extended warranty on our new car, that comes with a great warranty to start with! We said "No thank you" many times, signed all the papers and left his office, we thought that was the end of it. When Mr. Martinez was outside trying to show us how to use all the goodies on the SOUL, the finance guy (I forgot his name) brought another finance guy outside to talk to us about buying the extended warranty! He even asked my husband why he was being so cheap! They were relentless and I finally asked him what kind of car we bought from KIA and that they are making us very nervous. That didn't even stop him. We just hopped in the car with Mr. Martinez and closed the doors and they finally went away. I have NEVER had that kind of experience at a car dealership, it really left a bad taste in my mouth. If it wasn't for Raymond Martinez and the other professional men and women in sales we wouldn't recommend this dealership, but I DO recommend it... just stay away from the pit-bull finance staff!

I called this dealership about a 2004 grand prix for sale. I was told it was still available and verified the price with sales associate. This was at 8:30 pm. I arrived the next morning at 9:30 am with my son who wanted the car and cash and was told the car had a bad waterpump and it couldn't be sold untill it gets repaired. I was also told the car was priced twice as high as it was on the internet.I was offered other cars on the lot but when I told them I really wanted the grand prix I was told to keep checking back and have a nice day.Later that same day I recieved a call from Eric asking if I was coming by to look at the car. I tiold him the story and he said he would find out whats going on and call me back. Guess what I never got a call back. Ther fact is they used that car as a "bait and switch" technique to lure customers to their dealership. I spent my gas, wasted my time, took time off of work to get scammed by theses crooks.

I had the worst experience at Orlando Kia East. I originally went to Kia North and test drove a Kia Soul and I regret my decision to not go back to that dealership to buy it. I originally scheduled an appointment online for a specific car and when I arrived, Jim, who I schedule the appointment with was not even there. It was his day off and to make it worse, the car I had asked him about was not there either! I ended up working with a girl who had only been there for 3 weeks. It was pretty obvious that I knew more about the Kia Soul just by doing basic research online. There was a lot of "well I think" and "I'll check to make sure". This was extremely frustrating. It took me three days to go through the entire process, which should really only have taken 3 hours. I finally negotiated a price with one of the rude sales managers, who made it very clear that we were even lucky to be talking to him. He had no customer service skills, both him and the sales person were trying to make up excuses for Jim. Once I showed them the email discussion I had with him, they both apologized and couldn't explain why he made an appointment on his day off and told me that they didn't know why he said the car I wanted was on the lot. They were desperately trying to sell me a different Kia Soul that I did not want.The next day I came back to do financing, when I then found out that we would have to wait an hour to even talk to someone so I ended up just singing papers, transferring the tag and taking care of insurance. Jim says "I'll be back in just a minute, I need to get something". After 20 minutes of waiting I finally said something to the lady at the front desk. When we find out he's back in the office on the phone, trying to figure out the insurance. After he realized my frustration we decided that I would come back the next day to do financing. When I came in the next day, the same thing happened. They wanted me to sit around and wait for finance for an hour, which at that point was just ridiculous. So we started to look over the manual. As we are looking through it, I realized that it was for the 2011 model. At that point I couldn't believe I was dealing with such nonsense and I don't think Jim could believe it either. Overall, I ended up getting the price I wanted but not the car I wanted. They ended up losing some money on the car they sold me because it had upgrades that I didn't want/need. I am very happy with the car but extremely disappointed in the service and hassle it took me to buy the car. I felt the need to write this review because I cannot believe that this dealership is rated almost a 5, there has to be coercing going on because my experience was far from 100%!

My experience at Orlando Kia east was outstanding. Eric Flores was my sales consultant. He had a trainee by the name of J.P. who actually brought me around the lot looking at different new vehicles while Eric was finishing up a delivery for a customer. J.P.'s knowledge of the Rio/GDI was excellent. He didn't use very much of the mechanical terms when breaking down the vehicle's features. I totally understood everything he told me about the vehicle. Great Job!! Once I had chosen the vehicle I wanted and test drove it, we all sat down and started to negotiate numbers. I didn't feel pressured at all in to trying to accept something I didn't want or could afford. Both Eric and J.P. were very patient with me through out this process. After 5 attempts to reach some type of agreement, we finally felt we had reached an agreement that would fit our budget. I couldn't be more happier with my new Rio. Infact I had texted a co-worker while I was at the dealership and informed her of my new purchase along with my great experience I had at Orlando Kia. We both had talked about looking at new Kia's during the week. She informed me that she would probably come out to Orlando Kia east within a week or so to see if she could also get a deal like I did. Great Job!Eric and J.P. were really good at keeping things in an even keel as we tried to reach some type of deal that fit MY budget.

Beware of this dealer's pricing policy. All autos on the lot have a very unique "Adjustment" charge for the Orlando location. In short all car prices are jacked up 15% to 20% above MSRP. Check it out. There's an extra sticker next to the manufacturer's sticker. Additionally, on the same sticker is another additional $1500 for about $300 of dealer installed options. Unfortunately this is on each and every vehicle on the lot...whether you want the options or not. Their explanation for these outrageous charges was that their Kias' are so valuable and great looking that the charge is warranted then added..."let's negotiate." Quick answer for all those not gullible enough to fall for this ruse should be...."GET LOST." Save yourself the trouble. Steer clear and deal with another dealership with honest management and pricing. Remember...a wise man once said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

I would very much recommend Orlando Kia East to all my friends and relatives.Our family has purchased three (3) cars from them since Dec.,2008. Our first was a used 2007 Kia Amanti, we drove it for three years and loved every minute of it.In 2011, our son bought a new 2011 Kia Soul +, he now has 1700 miles on it and loves everything about the car and the dealership, as well as all the employees. He says they treated him like he was somebody special.In late Oct.2011 my wife and I traded our 2007 Amanti in on a new 2012 Kia Optima SX, and we are just crazy about it.We feel like "Family" there. From the sales staff, to the service dept, Chad Charlton in particular has been a real asset to Orlando Kia East. He goes beyond what you'd like to expect from your service advisor. He's honest, courteous,generous with his time and knowledge, and never makes you feel that what you have to say or ask is unimportant. We feel like we have a true friend in Chad!I was there this morning to have our first oil change service, and while ther I had occassion to talk with a young ma, I believe his name was Abdeil, he told me he was a lot porter. We talked and joked, he shared a surprising knowledge of the new car inventory. Such a pleasant young man he is, another very valuable asset to Orlando Kia East.Sincerely,Charles P.

The first time I went to Kia, I worked with a different sales associate whom didn't seem to know what he was talking about and I left before I even sat down to negotiate. My second visit however, I worked with Alex. Alex was nice to work with and knew what he was taking about. I ended up not buying because the manager would not come down on the price but Alex was very persistence on trying to help us. Overall, next time I decide to buy a Kia, I will definitely go visit Alex and refer him to everyone else I know that is in the market for a Kia.

My original rating showing Eddie in a better light was due to the fact that he made promises to my husband and myself and he basically let me know that for him to fulfill his promises I would first have to give him an excellent rating on this site. I did that and now it's going on 5 months later and he obviously isn't going to keep his promise to my husband and myself. Turns out it doesn't matter if several people in the dealership knew about the promises either. Once he got his good review, he forgot me.We do love our Kia Soul, but we would NEVER buy another car from Eddie or this dealership and we have advised our friends and family to go elsewhere also. I would advise anyone who is buying a car from this dealership and especially Eddie Oliveras to make sure any promises he makes you are in writing!

After a long day at work, late on a Friday, we came back to discuss a purchase of an SUV we spoke with Jim about earlier that week. Jim was very friendly, helpful and despite being here long after closing time, made us feel that our business was important, our concerns were heard and that they wanted our business. We closed the deal, returned in the morning and completed everything to make the SUV perfect before we took it. We were very pleased with the sale and would recommend that you ASK FOR JIM when you come. He's always on the internet and returned all our calls & emails during our busy day. That too was a reason why we came back.

My financial situation was very difficult and Jim and Brandy made me feel welcome gave me the guidance I needed to make the purchase. I was helped with learning about the car and then the process of filling out all the forms. When you are in a difficult financial situation, sometimes people make you feel like you are "less" than you should be. They both made me feel like any other customer. They also made it possible for me to get my new vehicle, which will help me a great deal, because it will cut down my costs. I would highly recommend both Jim and Brandy and the dealership.

Chad has helped me take care of my car since I bought it in 2006. I am not a mechanic or knowledgible on car engines but he has taken time to explain what I need to know about my car without making me feel stupid. His knowledge in customer service exceeds my expectations. He treats me like a close friend or even family member meaning my needs and his guidance in the service of my car are of utmost importance. He has lined out a 1-10 list for me as to what needs to be addressed at what time. Tho, I do like his theory of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"! He has great consideration of customers time. He gets you in and out as he quoted and if something unexpectated pops up he is quick to inform. Like many, I work, and my time and his scheduling are very important. I think Kia is very fortunate to have Chad as an employee and I hope they they award him with recognition, he more than deserves it. He is my Hero!

Great experience! Went in with an objective just to compare cars and prices (I already had gone to Greenway Ford and had a quote for another vehicle) but as soon as I meet Jim, he let me know that I was not leaving the dealership without a vehicle and he was RIGHT!!!! I was upside down on my car and Jim and your Management Team were able to provide a deal that I could not resist. I was able to trade in my 2007 Jeep Compass that had been purchased from Greenway Ford 4 years ago, and drove away with a 2012 Kia Sorento. Jim was able to work out a comfortable contract for me with a payment that fits my budget. Your dealership offered me more for my Trade-in and provided me with more incentives than what Greenway was offering and in the long run I drove away with a better vehicle. Great customer service and I have already spoken to several of my fellow co-workers and friends about Orlando Kia East and Jim. They have been HIGHLY recommended!!!!!!!

My husband and I visited the new dealership on Sunday Jan.29,2012 to look at the Kia Sorento as we have never owned a Kia before and were considering one as to the warranty that they come with. Eddie was the salesperson that greeted us with a smile and helped us in making our decision to purchase one. He was very knowledgeable about the vehicle and able to answer the questions we had.He also introduced us to the service writer Chad, who was very pleasant also and answered questions on the service of the car for us. We put a down payment on the car that day and went back on Monday Jan.30,2012 to pick up the car. We had a cashiers check made out for the purchase of car and before we signed all the papers was told about what the 100,000 mile waqrraqnty did and did not cover. We were told at that time as to how much extra we would have to pay if we wanted all things covered under the 100,00 mile warranty. I was shocked at that point! I would suggest that that should be brought up when a customer is negotiating the price of the car so that they would know as to how much more money they would have to spend to have it covered for 10 years or the 100,000 miles. My husband and I were both under the impression on Sunday when we agreed to buy the car that more things were covered under the 100,000 mile warranty. Linda & Richard Cromlish

He detects if something else is wrong besides what you brought it in for. He is about saving money and having the customer satisfied. He never lets you leave saying "I should have taken my car somewhere else." He makes you feel special because even if you are not having a good day, he makes you smile. And he is always smiling too! If something is wrong with your car, he tells you the truth. If this man can get a raise, I suggest it happens because he definitely earns his pay. He gets you in and out of there and not spend all day waiting for your car. If it is going to be a while, he informs you. I always ask for Chad because there is no one else like him. Its not that other staff is not courteous and polite, but Chad stands out above the rest!

I bought my first new car from Eddie Oliveras at Orlando Kia East. He was professional, witty, funny, understanding of my financial situation and showed me numerous options for different cars on the lot. I was impressed with the staff from the moment I pulled up until I drove off with my brand new car. I first came in expecting to have a horrible day at different dealership haggling over prices. It just didnt sound fun at all. I was dreading the experience. Eddie and the staff at Orlando Kia East made buying a new car fun, relaxing and easy. I was impressed. My fiance was impressed. The first thing I did was show and tell all my friends about the positive experience I just had with Orlando Kia East. Eddie and the rest of the staff made this a very positive experience from step one. The next time I buy a car, I'm coming straigt to Eddie at Orlando Kia East. He represents the company with excellent customer services and sales. The staff did a wonderful job making me feel like I was in the right place, even bought me lunch after my purchase. WOW..

I had a transmission problem with my car and needed to have it towed to a dealership for warranty repair. Even though I work on South Orange Blossom Trail RIGHT BEHIND the dealership, I decided to bring it to Orlando East as that is where I bought it from and they are the ones I trust. Sure enough, they helped me with a big smile, fully explained what was wrong with my vehicle and what they were going to do to repair it, exactly how long it would take and provided me a very nice rental so I could get to work. The very next morning, they called me just as they had promised and my car was fixed and ready to go. Due to my work schedule I was not able to pick it up until after the Service Dept had closed. They made arrangments with the sales dept for me to return the rental and pick up my car after they were closed which was extremely helpful. This is my 2nd car I've bought from Kia and due to the AMAZING service Orlando East has provided me, I am now a lifetime customer and do not plan on going anywhere else for a vehicle. I work for a very large automotive school and will definitely be bragging not only on the Kia product but on this particular dealership. :)

My experience at Orlando Kia East was not up to par. Due to this being a brand new building, their system and equipment (i.e. fax machines) were not working appropriately. It caused the whole process to be prolonged. Also, the sales employees were unaware of a lot of questions/concerns and processes. Lastly, every individual I spoke to said something different, which caused the selling price to continue to increase from the original deal that was printed out. Things need to be said upfront and all the documentation that is needed prior to selling the car needs to be given to the buyer before hand so they are prepared. Although, all the employees were friendly and somewhat helpful it wasn't a great experience for a first time buyer.

I stopped by Orlando Kia East about a week before Christmas to see the new Optima. The salesperson I dealt with pulled every "old school" trick in the book to get me to buy, including the "we have to wait for the sales manager to give back your car key" nonsense. I left irritated. After a week of doing a lot of online dealing with out of area dealers, I went back to OKE and met Dayne. He let me take a car home for my wife to check out who was there with our child. He was very easy to deal with and I ended up buying the Optima from him. Be warned if you plan on dealing with this company: do your research ahead of time and figure out your out the door price. They play a lot of games with numbers on both their cars and your trade. Know the bottom line and everything above won't matter. I should also add that their service department has been top notch so far. Kia has come along way with their cars. They need to bring their dealer network along with them. They appear to have spent too many years dealing with customers with bad credit and no down payment money. They need to stop treating everyone like that to advance.

Alex Zayas and the sale managers at orlando kia east were very helpful in getting me into a new vehicle. They were very understanding to my credit and financial situations and were diligent in getting me the most suitable deal for my circumstances.I love my new 2012 kia forte sx.As a woman shopper i was weary about buying a car by myself so i took my son with me, he was so impressed by alex and the sales team that he plans on purchasing a new KIA in the near future.

I have to say that this was my first experience buying a new car. Orlando Kia East and its salesperson all of them were great, but must have to make a special mention to this outstanding salesmen who made this expereience unforgetable Hank Charczuk. From the moment I got there to the time I left Hank listened to what I wanted and worked with me to make it possible to purchase my new 2012 Kia Sportage, not only did he work to get me a good deal, he also explained all the cool features of the car and all the services Kia has to offer. Customer service and friendliness on behalf of all the people who worked one way or another in my purchase did and excellent job.My overall experience in Orlando Kia East was Super I would recomend this dealer to any one. Thank You Hank you were great keep up the good work!!

I have never received anything short of impeccable customer service from Chad Charlton ever since he started working at Orlando Kia East. His prompt and courteous demeaner makes one of the most irratating things to do (bringing your car in for service) not so bad. I know that when I call he is eager to listen and help in getting my car repaired and returned in the quickest time frame possible. This may sound funny, but I have been in the customer service industry for over 20 years, and I feel that if more people had the customer service skills that Chad possesses, we would see much happier people on our roadways. Thank you for that!

I have been going to this dealership for the past 4-5 years and there is no doubt in my mind that the reason I continue to go back is because of the customer service that Chad Charlton provides on a regular basis. It is refreshing to be able to take my car into the service area and not have to worry about misleading information. Chad takes the time to explain my options for each maintenance item that comes about so that I can make an informed decision about services and avoid taking unnecessary risks. My car always works better when I pick it up from the shop.In addition to the great attention to detail that is directed towards my vehicle, Chad has taken the time to get to know me and my family. The bottom line is Chad Charlton is the reason I have been a proud and loyal Kia customer. (Chad) Thanks for all the time you spend taking care of both my families and my car services.

Because of his outstanding service, I decided to buy a second car which my nephew uses for school. I decided to move to Puerto Rico and took my first car with me. Since then, Chad has been my liason in purchasing new parts through Kia dealers. I would definitely recommend Chad to anyone looking for exceptional service and reliability.

Chad is our "go to guy". He is always willing to answer questions and is proactive in keeping our 2006 KIA Sedona in tip top running condition. We know whenever we bring in our car Chad will not only complete the work we request or is required but is on the lookout for prospective problems. If we can't get the job done on that visit he lets us know we should plan to have it done as soon as we can. He is always professional i.e. courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. He is never to busy to answer questions and never makes you feel uncomfortable about asking them. He is never condesending or impatient. Thank you Chad for all your assistance.

Despite living MUCH CLOSER to Orlando KIA West, I opted to visit Orlando KIA East, per recommendation of a friend who was happy with her purchase here. She suggested I work with Charles (Charlie) Banks... which I gladly did. Charles made my experience a pleasant one... despite being a woman going there alone to drive away in a new vehicle... and feeling pretty satisfied with the deal. I cannot commend Charlie enough and I congratulate him upon his recent promotion!

The sales associate who worked with us was named Alex Zayas and he was very personable and professional at all times. He made us feel very comfortable with a zero-pressure approach to selling cars. Rather than push us to choose from the priciest vehicles on the lot, he listened to our needs and showed us a variety of models that would meet our requirements. Alex and the financial went above and beyond to make sure we got the best price and value for our money. I was bit apprehensive about the whole process but Alex put as at ease immediately. Honestly, it was a bit stressful with a 5-yr old in tow, but Alex was extremely patient and attentive to our needs and helped us get through the process as quickly as possible. We left feeling very satisfied with our purchase, and would definitely recommend Alex and Kia East to our friends and family.

I purchased my 2008 kia Rio from the Colonial Boulevard location back in 2008. Your dealer was the only one willing to work with our less than satisfactory credit and you gave us a chance. Three years later we realized it was time to upgrade and we decided to come back to Orlando Kia. I made a phone call and your very friendly operator Lisa answered all my questions and made us an appointment to meet with Jim Darity. We were a little worried about whether or not we would be able to trade because our Rio was a base model and we worried we would be so upside down in it that we would be stuck! We arrived at your longwood location and we were greeted by your very friendly staff! Jim darity asked us a few questions and we looked at some of the cars on the lot and settled on the new 2012 Kia Rio SX...this is the one that caught my eye when we first pulled up! Jim and the staff definitely took great care of us because I drove off in my new Kia Rio....very happy that we could get a car that is comfortable for our family!! Also our 2 year old and 9 year old boys were with us...my little one loves balloons...the staff was nice enough to let him have all the balloons he wanted to play with!!!Jim darity and staff were professional and courteous....and they all had a great sense of humor, we felt comfortable during our time there!!!

We came to this dealership based on the Kia product.The Kia vehicles has great reviews but this particular dealership is the worst as far as sales and customer service.When it came to the price of the Kia Sorento,they were not able to give me a breakdown on the window sticker.After asking numerous times,it seems they became upset,being that they didn;t want to explain the truth about the hidden cost.Also,they were so unaware of even which Sorento we were buying...the mananger made many different mistakes regarding the one we wanted...I guess the salesman didn't communicate well with the manager.After wasting an hour with Pikesh Shah and Mike the sales manger,he even insulted me by saying "why don't you buy the smallest car we have and also I will give you 4,000 for your trade in" and he laughed about it.So we left,but here's the funny part...we took a drive to Orlando Kia West were we got greeted by Anas Lazaar..he not only showed us a better Kia Sorento but also offered us 5,500 for our trade in and gave us a breakdown of the vehicle sticker and a better price..GO FIGURE!!..to me it only shows the greed of this dealership and they need to learn from Orlando Kia west how to satisfy a customer.

So here it comes , I waited and the sales manager moe came over and said I will work out a deal with you, whatever it takes. So we worked out a very good deal for both and I am very pleased with my car. a new 2012 kia forte. Rita the admin manager called to be sure we happy and treated right and said anything I can do for you just call. The people were all very professional and as polite as they could be.

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE A friend of mine told me not to shop there but did I listen NO. I said hey it cant be that bad he got his car there man was I wrong. I got there and was met by a sales person who didnt even speak English. Me and my wife where looking for a first car for my daughter and we found a nice Kia Forte online so desided to go down and look at the car. Beside the fact we really didnt understand him it was going pretty good he seemed like he was trying his best, so we give him a chance. The horrible part was when we came down to the negotiation. First they came with a number 3 thousand more then the sticker says, I asked him why if it is clearly marked on the window, he couldnt give me an answer then one of his manangers came and sat with us I believe his name was Mohammed, it was a middle eastern gentlemen. He stated that the price on the window was wrong and he apologized for that but the price was 3 thousand higher , I told him thats fine cause I here on the price that was on the internet anyway and it was No where near the price he showed us or that was even on the sticker, he came out and told us that the price was wrong online to. I clearly showed him my phone with there website and told him that is false advertisement, but thats fine I told him them I would like to see numbers on another forte on the website and he went to his desk came back with the numbers and it was still high I asked him do you not see I have your website on my phone he came back with there must be a problem with our website cause the numbers dont match what he has, I looked at my wife and she asked him so you mean to tell me all the price online are wrong and he started to talk about how he can get us in a new forte for almost the same money. I was like I dont want a new car I want a new car for the price you have advertised, he told my that it was a mistake and couldnt honor the price we saw. He said to give him a minute as he had to go talk to his boss. As we sat there my wife was like so they false advertise to bring you in to buy a new car is that even legal. As we sat there waiting there we can hear him talking to other managers and cursing at them saying we dont sell used cars and f you and f that, and he started to argue with this other guy behind there desk. He came back to the table and begin to show us number on a new car my wife looked at him and said what part dont you understand we dont want a new car, or is it like you said to the other guy that you dont sell used cars. Then I guess thats when he got upset and started to tell us why we should by new and this and that, he started raising his voice and thats when I had to stop him and tell him to stop everthing I was done with him. Hopefully this gets back to the owner cause my friend who told me to stay away wrote a bad review on here and it is no longer on here so that goes to show the pull they have with this website. Little do they know that they dont know who they deal with, I write a column for the Orlando Sentinel and I'm going to find a way to get my experience out there in the paper and the experience of others who have been treated the same way me and wife where treated. Please BEWARE they may not be all bad but that manager ruined my taste for Kia in general. Yes I got a Kia for my daughter but it wasntfrom any of the Orlando Kia stores cause if that one was that bad I cant even think of how the others are ran. I'm going to do even thing in my power to warn all of Central Florida about this dealer from a blog I'm going to start to yahoo, google, bing and I wonder what the attorney general would have to say about this. AGAIN PLEASE BEWARE!!!!!!!

We told Dealer what we wanted. We advised him of the color we wanted and said there would be no exceptions. He assured us he would have the car the next day. He spent hours coming and going during which we had no idea what he was doing. We filled out all the paper work and gave him a $5000 down payment. After wasting 3 hours of our time he changed his story. He said he had good news and bad news. The bad news was he could not get the car in the color we wanted....The good news was he could get it in silver or black. This was after we specifically told him what we wanted and the problems we encountered at other dealers trying to find a Soul in this particular color. We spent another thirty minutes trying to get our deposit back. Basically he wasted our day. I believe he thought after all the trouble we went through we would accept the silver or black model. (Bait and Switch?) The next day we purchased "two" Scions and I am sure are much more satisfied than we would have buying the Soul....

Soon after Eddie had me test driving the cars I was looking at. Once I realized that I want the SOUL. Eddie helped me work thru all the paper work. The car that I wanted was only in white.

To whom it may concern,I'm writing this e-mail correspondence to express my extreme disappointment with my recent experience at East Orlando Kia. I visited the East Orlando Kia in Winter Park yesterday, September 04, 2011. I worked with a sales representative named Milton. After 4.5 hours of aggressive negations and bogus excuses, I ended up "purchasing" a 2012 Kia Forte. Only to my surprise, I would take the Forte back today to get it "detailed". Little did I know that I would actually have to return the car due to the lack of customer regards by your representatives. What first brought me to Kia was the amazing trade-in promotion. Apparently, its advertised that you can bring in ANY used car and received a $5000 credit towards any new or pre-owned vehicle. You can ask any person who knows Kia and they will be aware of the promotion. What I find very disappointing is the number of excuses Milton gave me when I brought up this promotion. First, he says "we no longer have this promotion, the ads you hear on the radio are extra ads that have already been paid for and must be played". Any person on Earth will consider that FALSE ADVERTISEMENT; I'm sure the law would too. Secondly, he mentions, "the cards that qualify for the promotion have been sold". How could this be? A $5000 credit should apply towards any new or pre-owned vehicle as advertised in the ad. As far as Im concerned, it doesn't get any newer than a 2012 Kia Forte. Lastly, I received an email on September 02, 2011 in regards to your "Labor Day Gastravaganza". Yesterday was September 04, 2011. Why is that when I mentioned this to Milton, he advised me that this promotion was no longer valid? This email clearly states:"This Voucher must be presented upon arrival of your initial visit and must be presented to your sales consultant and the above unique number must be legible and match the number our computers have assigned to you in order to be valid for any of the above offers.This offer is limited to New Vehicle in dealer in stock purchases only and is not valid for any vehicle purchased before September 1 2011 and after September 5 2011. "This is copied and pasted directly from the email I received. Given the information above, why is that when I presented Milton with the voucher, he quickly declined and said the promotion was no longer valid without even checking the unique number in the email. I find this very negligent. You should not be advertising any promotions what so ever if your company or sales people have no intent on honoring them.I let Milton give me his speech on how great this car would be for me. After thinking about the long-term investment and the great things I've heard about the Kia Forte, I decided to purchase the car with a co-signer. Despite all the excuses I was given about these "expired" promotions, Milton and I negotiated that I would be given a $4000 credit for my Mazda towards a new vehicle. After a grueling duel with the financial advisor and the bank, Milton advised me I had been approve and we signed all the necessary paperwork. He advised me of my monthly payments, interest rate, and all the other financial aspects of the car. I was handed the keys and told that the man who details the vehicles had gone home for the evening. This being said, I had to leave the dealership with no carpets, cords, manuals, and much residue of the inside and outside of the car windows from the stickers placed on it. I was told to come back today, September 05, 2011 at 4 PM and they would assure that I would receive all the extra things that I had not received yesterday.To my surprise, I get to the dealership today at 3:45 PM and was not taken care of until around 5:30 PM. Little did I know that the car I had just purchased would be taken from me. Once Milton comes around to finally service us, he quickly asks us for the keys and advised me that the bank was not willing to approve the loan. I find it very difficult to believe that your company is in this business for the well-being of the consumer. Why is that Milton spent HOURS negotiating and convincing us to buy this car but takes the car back within a matter of seconds? Where is the customer service in that? He fought so hard to get us to buy the car but he definitely did not fight for us to keep the car. I'm sure he only saw us as dollar signs or commission in his pocket. I must say that I'm ecstatic that he won't be getting a penny from this sale. This sale was not done correctly. How can a car dealership allow a person to drive a brand new car off a car lot without the sale being fully approved and allow the car to loose its value? This is not acceptable. I would not have been upset if I was denied the car at the point-of-sale. What angers me the most is the fact that I was misled to believe that I was FULLY approved for this purchase, given the keys, and allowed to take the car back home. This shouldn't even be legal! Who knows if it is? I will definitely be researching this matter.I wish that was the end of this horrendous experience. I was given the keys back to my Mazda and was told that the transaction was cancelled. Emilio brought my old car advised me that all my information would be shredded. Milton mumbled under his breath, "At least you got your tag renewed". I left the dealership disappointed with a bad taste in my mouth towards Kia as a whole. Upon my arrival at my home in South Orlando (a good 30 minute drive), I realized that Milton never gave me back the title and registration for my Mazda. Again, I had to spend more time out of my day to fix a mistake that was not my fault. I got back to East Orlando Kia and spoke with Milton. Milton gave me back the title and registration for my Mazda and apologized. I then proceeded to ask where the registration for the new tag is. He spoke with Mohammed (which neither of them knew what the answer to my question was) and then advised me to peel the yellow sticker off, throw it away, and renew the registration myself. Why would Milton tell me that I got my tag renewed on my Mazda and then tell me something else? The least you guys could've done it actually renewed the tag for all the trouble and hassle I've been through the past two days. I am now stuck with having to renew the registration ($56) and paying the insurance company for the transfer of vehicle ($225). I forgot to mention that Milton told me I would need to have this process completed with Geico before I arrived for my 4:00 PM appointment. Actually, my 5:30 PM appointment. I now am at a financial burden to pay two fees that your dealership should have taken care of. Kia has completely lost all confidence with me and anyone who ever crosses me in the future. My opinion about your sales tactics, promotions, representatives, and dealership is everything but good.

I went in to meet Jim a day earlier than my scheduled appointment just to make sure we were on the same page and to see what was available. Instead- Jim did everything he could to make all my demands possible in a few hours. He made sure I was as comfortable as possible with the price of the vehicle and the style. To make sure I went home with my dream car, he got one to the dealership from Daytona so I could drive it home. He did a wonderful job explaining everything and made sure I was beyond content with everything in the car. It was a wonderful first time car buying experience :)

The sales experience was better than I expected. I felt that it was a 'no pressure' sale. Nikki was helpful and knowledgeable, and she conducted the sale with a friendly and upbeat demeanor.Do NOT let the detail department touch your new vehicle. They pretty much destroyed my interior with tire shine (that's right - interior with tire shine). It was pooling in my door handles and dripping down the door panels. Disgusting. It was like sitting in a puddle of pizza grease. Very unprofessional.

He recommended some used car as well as new cars that I can choose from. Between Jim and Tim they made the deal happen in a good price as well as color :) .

Alex was extraordinarily knowledgeable on the Soul that we ended up buying. He explained everything we were interested in without being the least bit pushy or overbearing. He correctly got the read that we did not want to make a full day of the car buying experience and cranked through all the paperwork quickly once made a deal. Our experience was the polar opposite of the one we had at a different dealership the previous day.

I went to Orlando Kia East to help my mothe rpurchase a used car to replace her vehicle that had broken down beyond repair. we had initially gone to another dealer, who had offered us a 2009 Kia Rio with 37,000 miles on it as the only car in our price/payment range. on returnign to that dealership, we decided to stop at Orlando Kia East to see what type of deal they could offer. Alex was our salesperson, and Rubin, the finance manager, really worked together, and found us a 2009 Kia Spectra LX for approximately the same price/payment with the same down payment the other dealership was requiring. we are very happy with the service we recieved at Orlando Kia East, and have recommended it to friends and coworkers. they are knowledgeable, courteous, and work hard to get their customers the best car for their money.

I LOVE my new 2011 Kia Sorento. 100,000 mile warranty - for real! Why buy anything else? I had an Audi A6 that had so many problems and this warranty is so refreshing - a company that stands behind their vehicles. I feel super safe and the body is gorgeous! I went in for a test drive only and the sales consultant just made it too easy to buy the vehicle. I didn't think I could even afford the top of the line model, but Eddie made it happen, and within my budget. Eddie called us a few days later to make sure we were happy. Who does that? It's only been a month, but I look forward to hopping into that car every day. Great company; great dealership!

Even before I got out of my vehicle I was impressed with the customer service I received from Orlando Kia East. One of the salesman was waiting at the door to get out of my car and opened the door for me welcoming me into the dealership. I had been given Luis's name by a friend of mine and he greeted me immediately by name. From there I dealt with Charlie Banks for my test drive and price negotiations. Charlie was friendly and funny, which made the car buying experience that much easier. I had already been through the ringer with another local car dealer and that experience had me on edge to deal with any other, but the staff at Orlando Kia East has restored my faith in the humanity of car dealerships.It is because of the customer service that this dealership demonstrates that they are and will be a successful American company.

I went to the Orlando Kia East dealership and after 3 hours of writing numbers on a blank piece of paper only to have the manager each time tell the salesman no. The manager would not even come back with a price that would work, instead he just said he, "could not work with me", even though my offers were reasonable. So, I ended up going to the Orlando Kia North Longwood dealership and WOW was the sales team and manager a complete turn around from the previous dealership! There was no hassling from salesman or the manager. I was asked what options I wanted and the color. I did not have to argue with them to get a lower interest rate nor was I given an inflated purchase price. They knew exactly what I wanted and in a few days (due to limited stock) they found a vehicle that matched. I came back, signed the paperwork and left with my brand new car!

They are very concerned about how the vehicle is performing as it should and making sure that all of my concerns and service issues are satisfied. I had a few little warranty issues to begin with that were taken care of quickly and all service work since has been routine.

She made it easy to express exactly what I wanted and we discussed my options and I am confident I made the right decision in getting the exact car I wanted! Thank you, Adriana for making my daughter and me feel comfortable throughout this experience. I also want to say thank you to Jose in finance because he was a blessing as well. His words of encouragment allowed me to have more hope in my financial success for the future. This was a unique car buying experience for me, one that I did not think would have taken place- I am very satisified with my car and the people who helped me get the keys! You can go with this or you can go with that- I went with Kia and I would definately go back! ;0)Muchas gracias!

I showed interest in Kia but was not satisfied with the prices. Having never owned a new car, I had accepted the fact that I was going to buy another used car. While searching for used cars online, I recieved a call from Amia Barrett. She assured me I could get the car I wanted for the price I wanted. Long story short, 3 hours later I was driving my new Forte! She went out of her way to give me the best deal possible(which I didn't think could be done)and some extras too! If you're buying a Kia see her, you won't be disappointed. She's exceptionally AMIAble.

Amia Was superbly helpful throughout the whole deal of finding a good used car to call my own. From the moment of meeting she went above and beyond my expectations of most salespeople that I have delay with in the past. Even the good ones in the past, you could feel A slight pushiness to BUY BUY BUY. However with Amia, there was no pressure for immediate purchase. A great persin to work with, I would not only recommend this dealership, but I would recommend her if you want service above and beyond. I would have given 7 stars if it were available, for extra credit.

Good job! Both of the sales consultants that assisted me in finding and purshasing my KIA Optima provided the time and a detailed test drive of an Optima to be sure it was what I wanted as well as demo all the unique features the Optima offered before the sale. Keep up the great work.

I met with Amia on a lunch break for about 20 mins. I told her my needs and wants. Amia asked me some questions took some information. It was fast and easy, which I liked since I was on a time frame. I ended up going back that night and purchasing my 2011 Kia Sorrento from her. She worked within my budget and again we were in and out, which meant a lot to me. Amia was friendly, hard working and nice to my children. I would recommend her to my friends, family and co-workers.

At first I was a little apprehensive about buying a new vehicle because I'm a first time buyer. However after dealing with Charles Banks he was more then accomdating and extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the vehicle over all.I would recommend this dealship and Charles Banks to any first time buyers.

Everyone from the front door to when I left was very friendly and helpful. From talking to me about what I was looking for to suggesting cars, through the financing process they couldn't have been any better! Joe was great and when he didn't have just what I wanted, he found it at his other store and had it brought over so I could look at it, and I loved it!

Had a great experience purchasing my first new car, she was VERY helpful and outgoing. Wasn't pushy at all and I wouldn't have left with a car if it wasn't for her and her helpful information. Amia was easy to talk to and gave great advice on each car that I was shown.. GREAT EMPLOYEE!!!!
