My husband and I had a bad experience with the service department a while ago and swore we would not go back to Tom Harris Kia even though we loved the car we were driving. Randy Heller, the Sales Manager department a while ago and swore we would not go back to Tom Harris Kia even though we loved the car we were driving. Randy Heller, the Sales Manager, called us to let us know the balloon payment was soon up and to come in and talk over our options. We explained our concerns and he encouraged us to come in because the service problems had been fixed. We were treated like royalty when we arrived and were shown the utmost courtesy by all the staff we met. We ended up driving out in a new 2012 Kia Rio sedan, which we are very pleased with. Both my husband and I would like to thank the Service Manager, Mike House, for taking the time to meet us and assure us that our future servicing would be uneventful. Randy Heller for encouraging us to come back to Kia and give them another try, and making sure we were well treated when we came in. Ryan Czinger, Sales Associate, for his devotion and patience in showing us the latest cars. Jeremy Allen, Finance Manager, for the way he handled the refinancing of the new car, and we would also like to thank Dave Bare, General Manager, and Tom Harris, Dealership Owner, for making time to come in and greet us, making our over all experience wonderful.
