The total experience at Columbia Ford Kia is nothing short of exceptional. Each time I walk into the dealership, I am immediately greeted by a smiling, friendly, and knowledgeable person. They go over a short of exceptional. Each time I walk into the dealership, I am immediately greeted by a smiling, friendly, and knowledgeable person. They go over and above to ensure that my needs have been exceeded and at the same time they respect my time constraints. Car dealerships, in general, have a poor reputation. Fortunately, Columbia Ford Kia is a shining beacon of Exceptionalism and should serve as a model for other dealerships nearby. I look forward to working with them again in the future. More

We were approved at a 2 percent lower interest rate that we were not informed about. Only found out when the letter from the other bank arrived in the mail. Of course, we received the song and dance from the dealer in which they said it must have been an oversight. I say either incompetence or it was done purposely (if the bank they used gave a bigger kickback). Either way we ended up having to refinance just to get the rate we initially were approved for. Someone should really look into these practices........This will unfortunately be the last purchase I make from a Gates dealership. More
