    Auto Kings in Bend is hands down a five-star spot. I'm 21, and after checking out a few of the bigger dealerships around town, I was pretty used to feeling like I was just being shuffled through a process. Technically "helped," I guess, but not actually listened to. Car buying can feel intimidating at my age, and that definitely didn't make it easier. Walking into Auto Kings felt completely different. Their sales team treated me like a real person from the jump. Everyone I talked to was friendly, patient, and actually paid attention to what I needed instead of trying to push me outside my budget or goals. They answered all my questions without making me feel dumb or rushed, which is rare when you're a younger buyer. The people in both sales and service were just solid humans all around. They helped me stay within my guidelines, made the whole process way smoother than I expected, and genuinely seemed to care about getting me into the right car rather than just any car. If you're tired of the assembly-line vibe you get at some places in town, Auto Kings is a breath of fresh air. Respectful, chill, and honestly just great people. I'd recommend them to anyone.

    What a wonderful experience I had with Auto Kings in Bend. I drove from Eugene to pick up a canopy to fit my 2013 Ford Super Crew. That size is hard to come by. This canopy was used but looks brand new, had window access to cab and even keys to lock it as needed. Derrick went to bat for me, Bryan was wonderful and Bob at the service center moved vehicles around, transferred the canopy to my truck and I was on my way home in about 20 mins! I 100% recommend this family owned local business (they could use more space, but they were a joy to work with). Well worth the drive in the snow from Eugene!!

    services is amazing Aaron is the guy too see if you want it done right. very knowledgeable And…read morefriendly likes to have a good laugh. now with that being said love the service but not the price. Don't get me wrong it is a great dealership with service just be ready to open your pocket book. It is not like it use to be and pay some money to have some one work on your vehicle. We use to love taking the vehicle in to get worked on. Anymore it is sad we don't take it in because of pricing. It is sad we have gotten to the point where you can't just take your vehicle in cause you don't want to work on it. Now it's you either work on it or you won't get it fixed do too you can't afford the part. This is coming from a guy who watched a YouTube video and changed his radiator in the parking lot after buying the tools.

    Terrible dealership. I wish I could take back my purchase and buy elsewhere due to their service…read moredepartment. Brought my vehicle in a week before warranty expiration. Of the six items that needed repair their service department looked for reasons to deny rather than fix or even try to replicate the problem. For instance, the factory horn that can be seen thru the front grill on a Wrangler 392 appears to be rusted. Went back and forth with the service advisor on how that's a factory horn and he kept on insisting that its aftermarket. After many times going back and forth, turns out the plastic cover on the factory horn came off and exposed metal - still can't get an answer why this isn't covered under warranty. 2) the vehicle came with half-doors and soft top uppers along with factory full doors (Jeep). The factory soft top upper doors began leaking and leaving about 1-2 inches of water on the driver and passenger floorboard. First the service department claimed it's not covered under warranty because I installed a rack on the back half of the vehicle. When I pushed back, because the leaks were coming from the front, they pivoted to say the tops were aftermarket and Chrysler would not cover after market parts. Had to go back and forth again with the service writer. First he said he couldn't see the jeep came with those doors from the factory. Then he said they are not OEM. Upon pressing, he miraculously noticed the Chrysler emblem on the corner of the vinyl window. Pretty obviously you ask me. 3) alternator not charging battery. Service response was that because I added after market lights to vehicle, the can't diagnose and troubleshoot. 4) transfer case not engaging front axle housing. Known problem in the 392. Supposedly they found metal shavings in the oil. When I called bull they pivoted and said it's due to my aftermarket axles and Chrysler will not cover them. I call bull specifically because when the Jeep would not engage the front axle, I changed the oil and it was filthy dirty indicating a problem with the problematic clutch plates. The dealership didn't check the oil! I call bull. The vehicle was never driven with the new oil. A few more issues but I won't bother. I have never experienced such terrible service from a dealership. I would have expected them to be on the side of the consumer. I will NEVER bring my jeep back to this dealership in Bend. They lost a customer for purchases AND for service.

A service representative assisted me in getting what I needed to get some warranty repairs done. I was able to get it from the California dealer I purchased the SUV from. I recommend Team Kia of Bend. They also will wash your car.

    1 star. At the end…read moreof the day, we signed the paperwork, so we take responsibility for not slowing down and triple checking every feature and trim level ourselves. However, the issue we had was the amount of incorrect information given by the sales staff regarding the Kia Carnival trims and features. About two months before purchasing, we did our first test drive with one salesperson who told us we were driving the base model, when it was actually the EX trim. Recently, when we came back and purchased with a different salesperson, features were discussed as if they were included on the trim we bought. Because of those conversations, we believed we were only stepping down one trim level and giving up a few small features, not buying the actual base trim. After getting home and spending time with the vehicle, we realized multiple features we thought were included were not there. Again, we accept responsibility for signing the paperwork and not researching more deeply ourselves, but the dealership employees should know their own vehicles and trims before advising customers. I will recognize they did meet one of our needs. I had a limited amount of time because I was on a work break, and they did a lot of the negotiating and paperwork preparation over the phone before we arrived. That part of the process was smooth and appreciated. However, we had multiple needs, not just speed. We specifically mentioned multiple times that the SX trim was the one we really liked, and that we were okay stepping down one trim level to save money. At no point did anyone stop and clearly explain, "Hey, this is actually the base trim, so you are losing a lot compared to both the SX and the EX." If someone had simply explained that clearly, we would have immediately realized the mistake before signing. That kind of honesty and product knowledge would have made us even more loyal customers long term. What disappointed us most was the lack of willingness to reasonably work with us afterward. We were willing to trade up immediately into a higher trim, meaning the dealership would have made another sale at a higher price. We understood there would be some loss because vehicles depreciate once driven off the lot, and we were realistic about that. However, being told the vehicle had essentially lost around $11,000 in value after only 3 days and minimal use was not something we could financially justify. Especially considering we received a strong deal originally, the dealership could have likely resold the vehicle close to what we paid and worked with us somewhere in the middle. Even something closer to a small loss on our side would have kept us loyal customers long term. Instead, it felt like once the paperwork was signed, customer service no longer mattered. The Carnival itself is a great vehicle. This review is strictly about the dealership experience and the lack of product knowledge and post-sale support. Buyers should absolutely triple check every trim, package, and feature themselves and not rely solely on the expertise of the sales staff. Unfortunately, because of this experience, we will not be recommending this dealership to friends or family.
