I had went to the Kia dealership in town and was not very happy with the service or price. I decided to try the dealership upisland (Nanaimo). When I first met Christine I had told her that September was th happy with the service or price. I decided to try the dealership upisland (Nanaimo). When I first met Christine I had told her that September was the month I was able to purchase a car. Living in Victoria, I was able to talk to Christine and let her know what choices I wanted for a vehicle. She was able to get the vechile I wanted and all the choices I request in couple of days. I am very pleased with my 2013 KIA Soul. The service given from Christine and the rest of the team was excellent. They were very friendly and accomatdating. I want to esprcially thank Christine for staying for the whole time through the buying process and also going through the vehicle at the end. I love my new car. Thanks Christine! More

We decided to try out Harris Kia in Nanaimo because my wife and I were not that impressed with Graham Kia. Once we arrived at Harris Kia, Rachel approached us and right away everything was friendlier an wife and I were not that impressed with Graham Kia. Once we arrived at Harris Kia, Rachel approached us and right away everything was friendlier and better than Graham. We talked about us trading two cars for a 2013 Kia Soul 4U Luxury and right away the numbers were way better than Graham. After a few days of emails, we came to an agreement, and one week after our first visit we bought that car. Rachel is definitely our "car gal" and it was a pleasure dealing with her as well as Jeremy and we highly recommend making the trip to see them. It was well worth the drive. More

Rachel and Jeremy were very pleasant staff members, this also applies to Dave Bare the General Manager. I consider them first class people to deal with, I would and will recommend them to anyone. also applies to Dave Bare the General Manager.

I would like to personally thank Rachel and Jeremy for making the purchase of my new Kia Soul such a smooth experience. Making these kinds of purchases is often fraught with stress, but this really was q making the purchase of my new Kia Soul such a smooth experience. Making these kinds of purchases is often fraught with stress, but this really was quite painless. First, Rachel did a wonderful job of showing me the vehicle I was interested in and answering all my questions regarding the vehicle. She also took me on a great test drive that enabled me to really get to know the vehicle. Then, after some haggling, when we settled on a price, Jeremy took us painlessly through the finance end of things. And the very next day my new vehicle was ready to drive home. I’ve since driven down to San Diego and everything on my Kia Soul has worked like a charm. I look forward to further warm and friendly relations with all the staff at Harris Kia. More

My previous experience of purchasing a car was an absolute nightmare that gave me my first full blown anxiety attack. Needless to say I was very cautious entering the dealership. We needed a 'commute absolute nightmare that gave me my first full blown anxiety attack. Needless to say I was very cautious entering the dealership. We needed a 'commuter' car and had decided on a Kia Soul. We had spoken with Grant on the phone and set up a time to see one of the used Kia Souls'. We met Grant for our appointment. He was professional, calm, knowledgeable and straight forward. All my questions were answered. (I tend to be a well informed shopper before making any large purchases) Grant was honest with us when we were weighing the pros and cons of new versus used and in negotiating the price. The overall feeling of the dealership is not one of high pressure sales, the employees are smiling and seem to be honestly customer service oriented. A refreshing find these days where a lot seems to be focussed on sell, sell, sell! Our positive experience carried over with the financial process and dealing with both RJ and Randy. The short and long of it...we drove away in a lovely little Kia Soul. What a huge difference from my last experience of buying a vehicle. We will not hestiate to recommend Harris Kia, Nanaimo to our friends and family for buying a new or used vehicle. More

All I can say is "fantastic"! Rachel came all the way to Ladysmith to pick us up because our old car was in the shop being repaired, so we had a really good test drive back to Nanaimo and Rachel the way to Ladysmith to pick us up because our old car was in the shop being repaired, so we had a really good test drive back to Nanaimo and Rachel gave us lots of info and answered all of our questions during that time. My husband and I always like to throw a little humor into everything we do and Rachel and Jeremy picked up on that and returned the favor. We felt like we were having a great visit with friends while getting all of the paper work done. Because we couldn't get there until later in the day, Rachel and Jeremy had to stay well past closing time to complete the sale. Having worked in retail for many years I know how hard it can be to stay late and remain cheerful when you've had a long day. From the questions that Rachel had asked over the phone, earlier in the day, she had the exact type of Kia Soul we were looking for, even the right color, for our test drive. We had "great" sevice, got a "great" car for a "great" price and had some "great" laughs during it all!! A "great, big thank you" to Rachel and Jeremy. We will be telling all of our friends and family and we'll be back one day ourselves. More

I bought my first Kia Rio 5 in Feb. 2010 at Harris Kia from Dave Bare. I loved that car so much. All of my experiences at Harris Kia were great. All of the staff were friendly including the Service Dept. from Dave Bare. I loved that car so much. All of my experiences at Harris Kia were great. All of the staff were friendly including the Service Dept. Unfortunately my car had an accident in a parking lot. I was in need of another car. Once again I came back to Harris Kia as my first choice in looking for a car.We met Dave Bare again and he introduced us to Randy Hellerand and Chad Stewart.Chad took us for a test drive in a Kia Spectra 5 and I loved the car.Chad is such a nice guy and very personable. Randy Heller did all the negotiations and he was great to work with as well.Chad followed up in getting me an extra key for the car and was in touch with me as to when I would be receiving it. I felt well taken care of in every way in buying my 2009 Kia Spectra 5.The car was spotlessly clean inside and out and they cleaned it all for me making me feel like I was driving out in a brand new car. I highly recommend Harris Kia as a dealership you can trust. Paula Davies,Salt Spring Island, BC. More

The whole experience with the staff at Harris Kia was truly great; we were treated with respect, courtesy, and were made to feel one of the family. Rachel impressed us with her knowledge of the Kia p truly great; we were treated with respect, courtesy, and were made to feel one of the family. Rachel impressed us with her knowledge of the Kia product line, and does a very good demo of the car's capabilities on the test drives. A very special thank you for the Birthday flowers - that was going above and beyond. Also a big thank you to Jeremy for making the business end of the transaction so painless - we have purchased a number of new vehicles in our time, but this was the first time we truly didn't feel pressured - you described all the options and let us make our own informed decision. We look forward to a long and friendly relationship with all the staff, and know that we will continue to be treated royally More
