Awful. I was bullied all day by the president of this company through email. They lied during the purchase of my vehicle and I wanted some kind of resolution that made up for the lie, inconvenience, and company through email. They lied during the purchase of my vehicle and I wanted some kind of resolution that made up for the lie, inconvenience, and the wear and tear I had to now put on my car because they didn’t do their job to begin with. I will not be bullied, and I would never recommend this place to anyone. More

One of the better dealerships Was at another dealership (we will call them Cannoli) and getting the run around. I called Premier from the parking lot and had the right answers and Was at another dealership (we will call them Cannoli) and getting the run around. I called Premier from the parking lot and had the right answers and I went over...with some serious doubt in mind. Once there the doubt was gone as I was greeted by Samuel Johnson, sales rep once I went inside. After telling them the story at cannoli. We discussed my options and Mario the sales manager got involved. We worked out a potential option but something was still not right...in walks Bob, the owner of the dealership. Most business's the owners don't get involved...Bob put the guard dog (inside joke) upstairs, came down and got involved. SUPER nice guy and wanted to help but not be too pushy. I had to run but we worked out a deal and I was coming back the next day to pick up my new car. If you have not seen it yet, check out the new Kia Seltos. Now I know everyone has seen the video's on Youtube about the Financial office and what they do to get you with other fees, I was one of the people...but I was wrong about Carlos Trindade. He did offer me something...tea, water and a laugh about how he was going to go over the fine print with me. He did offer an additional package about incidentals for tires, rims, glass etc...I said no and he didn't push, he put it away and we wrapped up the deal. I started thinking about parking and we all have bumped the curb, rubbed a rim on a sidewalk and common sense made me realize that the added $$ for the life of the agreement was EXTREMELY worth it and I ended up getting it and Carlos and I had a good chuckle about how if I buy this he should be buying lunch. This dealership is extremely hardworking and even the service guys were friendly and attentive to your needs...ask for Anthony Berardi in service. The only questionable thing I can say about the dealership staff is that they need to be 100% regarding options in the vehicles before saying yes to questions. More

This is the worst automotive group I’ve ever dealt with . The owner has a Napoleon complex and doesn’t know how to handle issues . If you encounter any serious problem with your vehicle like a bad transmissi The owner has a Napoleon complex and doesn’t know how to handle issues . If you encounter any serious problem with your vehicle like a bad transmission with 3,000 miles on the car , they ban you from the dealership and accuse you of yelling at them . Ridiculous. There are other Kia and Subaru dealers in the state that will value your business and treat you with respect . These people don’t have a clue and don’t deserve your hard earned money . More
