We have been using Kia of North Austin since 2007. We have recently purchased our 11th Kia, and could not be happier! Our salesperson feels like a friend, as we have been using him for about 3 years n More

If I didn’t have a huge down payment or a co-signer I was dismissed and no longer contacted. I was looking at a 5 year old car and expressed the amount of money I was willing to put down. You would think More

Hello, We appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. We tried very hard to help you obtain financing given the credit challenges that exist. At the end we are at the mercy of the banks. At no time did anyone try to take advantage. We simply communicated the bank’s conditions. If somehow you are able to satisfy these conditions we will be more than happy to help you through the process. Respectfully, Ben Klein GM

Thanks so much for responding, Ben. I was expecting more support from Will in the matter. I worked with another Kia dealership and put $3500 on the vehicle. They worked very hard to ensure I was able to get into a vehicle, explained everything to me from top to bottom, as well as keep me updated on what was going on. Will at Kia of North Austin did not and I did not want to spend my money at a location that doesn’t put in the effort. Thank you again for responding kindly, and I wish you guys all the best!

Everyone was polite and the facility was efficient. The toddler room is a great option as I had my 3 year old with me. However, it smelled heavily like cigarettes and was dirty and dusty. It didn’t loo More
