Amazing Car Buying Experience As a 20 year U.S. Navy Veteran, I have purchased 6 new vehicles from 5 different dealerships in 3 different states and Premier Kia of Branford is the As a 20 year U.S. Navy Veteran, I have purchased 6 new vehicles from 5 different dealerships in 3 different states and Premier Kia of Branford is the ONLY DEALERSHIP that I DID NOT feel like I was taken advantage of or that they were more interested in how much money they could make from the sale. I drove the 41 miles to Premier Kia vice the 3 miles to our local Kia dealer!! All associates were warm and friendly. Our online sales associate, Kim Seabrook; salesman, Nathan Glazewski; General Manager, Patrick Cosgrove; Finanace Manager, Ken Schmitz; and dealership owner, Robert Alvine all went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure we were provided the 2015 Kia Sedona with the colors and features we desired and expected at an exceptional price. It is very evident that this dealership and its employees value their customers! More

Honesty with Female Customers at this Dealership is Unique! Purchased a 2013 Kia and was thrilled with the sales WOMAN and the process in general. After 40+ years of dealing with garages and dealerships, I hav Purchased a 2013 Kia and was thrilled with the sales WOMAN and the process in general. After 40+ years of dealing with garages and dealerships, I have finally found one that understands that if you are honest with your female customers they will tell EVERYONE and you will have more business than you can handle. It's been one year and to date I have not felt taken advantage of or been asked to have work done that was not needed. Ladies-this is the only dealership you should be dealing with. They also sell Subaru. More

An Amazing Dealership The best customer service experience I have ever had! From start to finish the staff at Premier Kia took care of me. My brother recommended me to this The best customer service experience I have ever had! From start to finish the staff at Premier Kia took care of me. My brother recommended me to this dealership saying that they are the most straight forward people he has ever worked with. I took his advice and I'm glad that I did. When I walked in with a list of cars I wanted to look at Nathan was there to help me. He was genuine, funny, and most importantly STRAIGHT FORWARD. There was no sale gimmicks or tricks I told him what I wanted we looked around, talked about what was most important to me and found the perfect car for me. Nathan understood that I needed to move the process along as quickly as I could, but he still took the time to make sure I was making the right choice. Brain and Bob also worked to give me the best deal they could and get me back on the road as soon as possible. When I thought it couldn't get any better I met Jason who went above and beyond the call of duty working with the bank to get me the exact payment plan I wanted. He even went as far as sending Luigi out to meet me at my work to sign some paperwork because they knew how busy I was. Both Luigi and Jason were awesome and I can't thank them enough for helping me. Overall my experience was awesome. Everyone at Premier Kia was helpful. They all worked together as a team to help me and just went above and beyond in every fashion of the way. I will not be buying cars from anywhere else because I don't think anyone can beat the team here. More

Less than 3 weeks ago, my wife and I purchased a 2013 KIA Less than 3 weeks ago, my wife and I purchased a 2013 KIA Sportage EX from Premier Kia. Approximately a year ago, we purchased a 2011 KIA Soul S Less than 3 weeks ago, my wife and I purchased a 2013 KIA Sportage EX from Premier Kia. Approximately a year ago, we purchased a 2011 KIA Soul Sport from this dealership. We love our Soul. Now there are two Kia's parked in our garage. During this past year, the service department at Premier Kia was outstanding. We travel two-plus hours round trip to Premier Kia in Branford for service. Friendly staff, fair price, Free twenty-four month service, Twenty year / 200,000 power train warranty, etc., what more could a car buyer ask for. Yes, I would not hesitate to buy another Kia from this dealership. Robert Alvine, (President, General Manager), What a guy! Any problems? Contact him. He will get back to you in less than 24 hours. How many company presidents will do this? I applaud him! Derek McMorran, a man with two hats (Service Manager/Parts Manager). He always gives you his undivided attention whether you need parts or service on your new vehicle. Now for the Sales Staff: Tyler Walker is one of the nicest young men that I have ever met. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with. I only have one short-coming to mention. This is in regard to Liam McClellan (Sales Manager). The day we purchased our new Sportage, Liam raised his voice during our negotiation. It was in regard to Window Etching. I tried to explain that it was previously resolved by Mr. Alvine when I purchased my KIA Soul. I was able to decline Window Etching then and I know that I would be able to decline Window Etching now. I did not want this dealer add-on. Thank you Mr. Alvine. My auto dimming rear view mirror with "HomeLink" will only work to open my garage door when the vehicle lights are turned on. I called Johnson Controls (Division of HomeLink) customer service tech support. They informed me that the mirror was probably wired incorrectly at the dealership. I called Derek McMorran. He set up an appointment to bring my Sportage into the shop to get this problem resolved. KIA kid More
