Dave Bare

We are one week into our Kia Soul EV ownership and just loving the car. We wanted to thank you and your team for the excellent service we were provided at your dealership. Marcelo in particular was who sold us on our purchase from Harris Kia. Marcelo was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We have been to a total of four Kia dealerships and 1 Toyota dealership, and came all the way back on the ferry to purchase from Marcelo and Harris. Thank you again for taking the time to show us the Niro's and provide great information. We will be looking for our second EV or PHEV vehicle in 2020 and hope to see you again. Fingers crossed Kia comes out with a PHEV or EV like a Sorrento! Thank you!

We had wonderful experience working with Harris KIA. There were no surprises or hidden costs. Everything was delivered as promised, the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and patient, we were never rushed or pressured. The whole process was streamlined from start to finish and we left confident that we had made the right choice with our purchase and dealing with Harris KIA, Dave Bare and his crew are wonderful. No regrets, Ron+Donna

Six weeks after I purchased a used Kia Ronda from the Harris dealership the power steering momentarily failed. I live in Courtenay so the best I could do was to drop the car off at the dealership here at home and leave a message for the office in Nanaimo where I bought the car. First thing Monday morning Dave called me and inquired about what had happened. To make a fairly short story even shorter, Dave payed for the repairs (a worn belt) and organized everything with the Courtenay office for me. After work I picked up my car (nicely detailed) without paying for anything. I am so grateful and happy, and if I ever need another vehicle I will go back to the Harris dealership in Nanaimo !

When we went looking for a new car in 2010 we tried several dealers and decided that the KIA Rondo was the best vehicle for a number of reasons the main one being the ample headroom when entering and exiting the car. (I have a stiff back) Since then we have had two mre Rondos and now drive a new Sedona. There has never been any trouble with them and the scheduled services are itemized and explained in detail so that you have confidence you are always driving a reliable vehicle. The people at KIA are always ready to help with things like pairing your phone to the car which defeats me.

We have had the pleasure of visiting Dave and the team at Harris KIA once again. In December it was for snow tires, this time a new 2018 Sportage EX Tech. We cannot say enough about how the entire team bent over backwards to ensure we were well looked after and our needs met. We came from the Lower Mainland to shop at Harris KIA, well worth the trip. I am not really sure I can capture the delight we experienced, words do not capture it. Jag our sales consultant did not pressure us, rather treated us with respect and listened to what our needs were. We did know the features we wanted! Once we had made our decision the colour we really wanted was not one they had in stock. They found one and had it brought over. We did not have to wait for weeks to get the Sportage we really wanted, they had it on the lot the next day. Thanks guys. We also had a trade in We had been looking around in the Lower Mainland and had received some quotes, Dave and the gang did not disappoint. The only thing we could say was "done deal!" We can only say this was one of the best experiences we have had purchasing a new vehicle. We definitely recommend Harris KIA and are sharing the good word with all those we know who are in the market. Well done guys, and thank you!

Here in Nanaimo from langley on a family emergency, was not prepared for the snow. Dave and the Harris team were able to get me in and set us up with snow tires without a second thought. The service was beyond compare, Dave held my hand through the entire process. They made sure my car was safe for the winter driving conditions. Shout out to Kolbi and Mike for the care they took. I really feel like a part of the Harris Kia family. Thanks guys.

I ordered a New Stinger GT Ltd, having never seen the car except in pictures, when I pre-ordered the car the price was not yet finalized. The Sales Manager Dan Jones was able to estimate it for me and was most helpful throughout the entire waiting period. Dave the owner was also very reassuring and supportive. Dave had also ordered one so we shared the anticipation and excitement. When it arrived in to the dealers, all the staff were excited for me, and had it cleaned up and ready to go when I was able to take possession. Cameron Adams spent an hour or more with me showing and explaining all the incredible features of this show stopper. The car I had been driving I was giving to my daughter, so while I was closing the deal, and being introduced to my Stinger, they took my old car and had it detailed for my daughter. This was all done without my asking and as a complimentary service. I have bought many cars over the years, but never have I experienced such a pleasant transaction. This dealership if truly different, and I highly recommend them to you. - Rick

As someone who is new to auto financing I found the whole experience quite comfortable. There was no pressure and every detail was explained in a comprehensive manner. Very flexible in setting up a plan to suite my needs and budget. The warranty is also quite impessive. Thanks to Dave and Rachel for making this a positive and a fun experience!
