I was accompanying a friend of mine while he searched for a used car. The whole thing started out well enough. He knew the model, price range, monthly payment, and conditions that were acceptable for him. This was all clearly expressed to the salesman (we'll call him "Bob") within the first 2 minutes of introducing himself to us. We finally landed on a vehicle that he liked and while the sticker price was not in his range, "Bob" assured us that we could get it much lower and shouldn't have any issues with keeping the payments in the acceptable range. "Bob" began to write out what he presumed he could manage in terms of conditions. My friend informed him that he was interested in any potential discounts or incentives (he is a military veteran) and that he would also be using a family member as a cosigner. "Bob" ball-parked him a figure and it was over $150 more a month than he had expressed he was comfortable with. He told him that was not even close to what he would be able to afford and that maybe we should look at something with a lower asking price/monthly payment. "Bob" insisted he could make it work and proceeded to go back to his mock terms and scribble and cross things out. He told us that this is all just speculation and that if his cosigner had great credit that he's certain they could arrange something in his price range. We stepped outside and spent a while talking and trying to decide what we wanted to do. After about 30 minutes, no doubt fearing we would leave the lot, "Bob" came rushing out. "I've got great news! We can do it, we can get those terms met." I specifically made "Bob" tell us, verbatim, that he could get his monthly payments under the max limit we had set..... and he lied right to our faces. Being the naive new car buyers that we are, we decided to start the paperwork so they could do the credit checks and give us an exact number. "Bob" assured us they would find the best loan terms possible and it would only require them to run the credit check once. This was true, at least for that night. We asked about any potential veterans discounts or incentives and "Bob" told us the extra "$500 or whatever" wouldn't matter as the deal he was creating would be better. We had been at the dealership for 2-3 hours at this point and "Bob" obviously had something more important to be doing as he started to try and accelerate everything. He began talking faster and any questions we asked were either met with reserved answers or dismissed entirely. At one point while my friend was talking to his cosigner on the phone, "Bob" told him to hang up and that we didn't need anything else from him. When my friend finally did end his conversation and set his phone down, I kid you not, "Bob" reached over the desk and pressed the End Call button on his phone. They ran their credit checks and "Bob" presented my friend with the "approved terms". The terms were just barely ($0.08 under) within his limit. After another hour or more of paperwork we were directed over to the finance department while "Bob" detailed and got the car ready. "Bob" told us to not feel pressured by them as they will try to sell us things and it will increase the monthly payment amount. Of course, "Bob" deliberately mislead us about what exactly the "Certified Used Warranty" that was indicated on the lot sticker entailed. Before we went to the finance department we asked "Bob" about the warranty and he told us he wasn't entirely sure what it covered and didn't want to give us false information. The finance guy advised us that since the car had more than 60k miles, it had no warranty and my friend would have to purchase one. Fantastic! After another 30-45 minutes of haggling with the finance guy my friend magically got a warranty for $20 extra a month. It was initially quoted as $100 extra a month. I wonder how much it's really worth. After 5 hours of being pressured, lied to, manipulated, mislead, and disrespected, it was finally over. Or so we thought. A few days later they called him to have him come back to the lot because they may have found better loan terms. Turns out all the loans they presented him had payments $100-$200 higher with much higher interest rates. They led us to believe he had already been approved for a loan through one of their banks. We were never told that was not the case and were deliberately misled and misinformed. Instead they ran their credit 18 times searching for a bank that would provide the loan. We were openly skeptical that my friend would be approved for a loan that would meet his budget but were assured and flat out lied to that it wouldn't be a problem. The car is currently parked, waiting for them to collect it and return his down payment. I tried to get "Bob's" real name from the dealer as we were both so traumatized by the experience that we forgot it. See the photo for how I was treated trying to get that information. read more

Hey thomas when you say that you will call me right back at 1100 to see if a vehicle is available, how about you call me back? Do not have a manager call me to see if I'm still looking for a vehicle at 1900 hours when you never followed up with me on the vehicle I was interested in. There is a reason for your horrible Yelp score. read more

Had a great experience, ron helped me and my girlfriend not only find the car that was in our budget but also one that suited our needs, he was very nice and helpful with everything, so 10/10 will go back next time we need to go car shopping. read more

This was the review I wrote for this dealership last year.... but it ended up on the Camelback Hyundai yelp page because the dealerships used to be linked... The did respond to this review, suggesting I call them. I DID call them (4 times) after they posted that and they never returned my calls... so here is the KIA review: ========================================================= All around bad experience at this dealership. We spent a lot of time researching cars and settled on a Kia Sorrento as being the right car for us. We then went through our bank's car buying program and found the most competitive price at Camelback Kia. BEWARE! The prices you get through buying programs are not transparent and we paid THOUSANDS more when we showed up for our appt at Camelback Kia. For example, we were charged for window tinting... but we didn't actually care for having our windows tinted... "too late, it's already on the car and you have to pay for it". Same story with tire upgrade, some paint protection, etc. They charge you for a bunch of crap that you don't want - so the pricing you are told is totally inaccurate. I'm sure this isn't unique to this dealer - but aggravating nonetheless. The real issue came in with our keys. When we left the dealership, they had LOST the key to the car and only had one copy. They promised us they would send the new one to us within a few weeks and gave me a woman's name (MICHELLE) who would take care of it. No joke, I called EIGHT times to get that key over MONTHS. I spoke with the manager, left voicemails for a bunch of people and they NEVER called back or got us our key (which we really needed so we would have two car keys). We finally called Kia head office. They were SUPER nice and apologetic. They called the dealership, called us back and told us to call a manager there who would take care of it. When we called him, he never called back. FINALLY, my husband went in after months of waiting and calling. They insisted that because we waited for months, we now had to BUY the key for $350. ARE THEY KIDDING? We had been trying to get that key for months. But they wouldn't budge. So we were out of pocket tons of money, two trips to the dealership and lost a good 4 hours of our lives on the phone to get a key that we were entitled to on our brand new car! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. The Good: we like the Kia Sorrento and it drives very nicely I will compliment also the Kia head office on two things: very nice and courteous when we called them to try to get the key... AND they called us from the HQ after we bought the car to thank us for our business and offer us a free oil change at Camelback Kia on our first service. After our experience, we are NOT getting our Kia serviced there. We would rather just have our $350 back. We are also now in the market for ANOTHER new car to replace our Pilot. We are intentionally not buying a Kia (despite enjoying the Sorrento that we purchased) because we just don't trust their service after the key fiasco. So, we're buying a new Pilot (purely based on that silly key) since Camelback HONDA has always been so good to us and does do all of our servicing. I'll be shocked if Kia thrives if this reflects how their dealerships behave. read more

Did not appreciate the management service my family received at Camelback Kia. Extremely pushy sales. If you don't want the deal, you simply don't want the deal. Be respectful to all customers. read more

Bernard C was great to work with. Personable, entertaining and even went and got me a fountain Diet Coke with crushed ice (I'm fancy like that) as I waited to sign the finance papers. This was a great car buying experience and those are words I have never said! read more

This review is dated and refers to something that happened two years ago, just had the time to talk about it now. I went to the dealership with an ad in hand that stated that they had a Kia Rio for a specific price, with a confirmed call from various others that this deal was there. I went to the dealership, and drove one of the cars that I was looking at getting. The sales manager come out and stated that I would be unable to afford a Kia Rio Base (no power locks or windows, sedan, automatic only) with $4,000 down. He then tried to make me sign various paperwork in an attempt to get me into a used Kia Rio which I did not want. In the end he kept contacting me about how I'm missing out on this offer, and how no other dealership will take my credit (at the time was around 690) and my down payment for a new car. Awful experience even with he attempted general manager who stated that he "could" get this deal going but failed to do so. Stay away from this place at this place at ALL COSTS. read more

Decided to buy a new car. Headed down to Camelback Kia and my wife and I spoke with a wonderful young sales lady, Arielle. She was a delight to work with, very helpful and informative the whole time. She really knows her stuff. A true professional! Thank you Arielle. We also dealt with Seth(Sales manager). Seth was very quick and helped us get the best rate possible. He really worked some magic and we were able to walk away with a beautiful Kia Optima hybrid and I couldn't be happier with our new care and the experience we had with Camelback Kia. Thank you once again Seth and Arielle. If your in the market for a new car go see these guys. I highly recommend Camelback Kia! read more

Careful dealing with this service department. They replaced my faulty engine after it passed the recall test and then died on the side of the freeway. Their fabulous technicians then clamped my oil line while replacing the engine which then led to my turbo going out. Of course, they are now denying responsibility and refusing to cover that. Attempted to escalate it through Kia Corporate and that is a worthless cause. Lastly, the service manager also insinuated that their products really aren't built to last much longer than warranty goes. The poor service I have received has my family and friends ready to sell their current Kia and look for a more reliable car, thinking Toyata or Honda. *I would strongly advise you to look elsewhere, don't get a Kia. read more

I received nothing but the BEST experience! Orlando was so attentive to what I was looking for and what I could spend. I never EVER felt pushed or harassed by him and the entire team. I really can not say enough about these wonderful people and Orlando...trust me if you want to purchase any vehicle at this location Orlando is the man to see! He will take excellent care of you and listen to your needs! -Cynthia Pottinger(a very happy customer) read more

This review is going out to Charles in the service department. I have been back to the dealership twice for service and he has been most helpful and knowledgeable on everything and anything I needed to know. Thank you very much Charles for making our experience above excellent. Make your service appointments with this gentlemen. You will not be sorry read more

Rodney was awesome! Super helpful and personable- I bought my first brand new vehicle from him! Thanks Rodney!

The service department at this dealership is an absolute joke. We are repeat customers and booking a service on my wife's car purchased with a FREE service plan is booked out beyond 2 and a half weeks. ARE YOU KIDDING? We called Mark Kia, from where I purchased my car from and they offered us a service TOMORROW. Do not buy a car from Camelback Kia and expected to get treated with any sort of respect, especially after they have taken your money. This is now an add for Mark Kia who treats their past clients like someone they want to come back and buy and other car from. We will never go back to Camelback Kia. What an absolute joke read more

When shopping for cars remember: Caveat Emptor. I wasted 2 days at Camelback Kia in May 2019 trying to purchase a 2019 Sportage. Much of my experience with this outfit is similar to many of the negative comments and postings. I walked away without purchasing a car as I felt disrespected by the sales team and I won't go back. Their sales manager never seemed like he was listening to me and probably went through 8 or 10 pricing worksheets before I left. On these worksheets was a column/box that listed "options" with a price tag of almost $2000. When I asked what these options were I was told for dealer added accessories appearance package, a protection package, window tinting and Zaktec Basic. I said I never asked for any of that stuff so how can it be called an "option"? Answer was this is standard here. Just for kicks look up "Zaktec Basic" and read the reviews yourself. Many of the negative comments listed here describe frustrations with the finance department. Most car buying websites continue to recommend getting your financing in advance and not from the dealership. The reasoning for this is sound--dealership financing is expensive. Another tip for purchasing a car is try NOT to get roped with the sentence "how much do you want your monthly payment to be". Sounds nice, but it's a trap. What you answer gives the dealer additional ammo. This story does have a happy ending. I did purchase the Sporatge at another dealership. They had the car I wanted in stock and treated me with respect and consideration. I paid $24,300 out the door and kept my other vehicle. Camelback's last offer was $24,200 AND my trade-in. Summary: before shopping, do your homework, get your financing pre-approved and remember it costs nothing to walk away. read more

If I could give this dealership a 0 for service, I would. I took my car to get an oil change, thinking it would be at most $60. Adrian, my service provider, recommended I got the 60,000-mile oil change because my car was close to having that many miles on it. Not only did I have to leave my car there overnight, but I also came into a $600 + bill for an OIL CHANGE. I never once had prices talked over with me for the oil change. I had Adrian harassing me several times, asking why I wanted to speak to his manager, and the manager never took the time to call me back. I am a young girl who knows nothing about cars, and they used that to their advantage. I feel that Camelback Kia took my lack of knowledge of vehicle advantage. read more

Last week I thought they were recommending a brake repair that was not needed. Camelback Kia asked me come in today so we could both look at my brakes to see if they needed replacing. They DO need replacing! I Want to apologize to Camelback Kia for my previous review! They have been very helpful and gracious during this misunderstanding. You have restored my faith in you!!! Thank you again for your integrity. David L you are a great asset to this dealership! read more

The service department was completely negligent on my last oil change. I went Specifically because I was taking a road trip to California and my car broke down on the highway on my way there. I had to get it towed to the closest Kia (in palm springs). Not only did they not change my oil or oil filter, they completely overfilled my oil to where the Kia in palm springs took out NINE QUARTS of oil causing it to spill all over my engine and spark plugs. The oil filter was not replaced and to top it off they didn't do any of the 72 point inspection. The Kia in palm springs saw a bunch of things that were cause for concern including the battery, a wheel well that was detached among many other things. Now I have been trying to get ahold of a manager or someone in customer service and no one is answering me or calling me back. They made me waste a whole day, I had to pay for a rental out of pocket, and they put the lives of my friends and I in danger with their negligence. read more

Don't waste your time with this dealership. My friend did tons of research, comparing five different makes of vehicles and five dealerships. He spoke with the sales fleet manager, John Giatropoulos, at Camelback Kia, who emailed him a price and spelled out specific items that were included in that price, at no extra charge. Once my friend and I both arrived at the dealership, John Giatropoulos shook our hands and introduced us to Ronnie, our sales guy, and another guy who I do not remember what role he was suppose to play in this scam. The handshaking was later revealed to be nothing more than fake honesty at best. We spent more than an hour going over a vehicle that did not even have several of the features that my friend knew were available on the base models, but we were told they were not available on the base model, things like no telescoping steering wheel, no alarm system, and others... Heck, the spare tire was not even the right size for that vehicle because the molded jack stand tool kit did not even fit inside the rim as it was suppose to, so the rear cargo floor would not even fit in place, by more than 1 inch. Finally the sales person, Ronnie, went out and brought up another vehicle, and guess what, it DID have ALL the features my friend had on his list. Now we were satisfied with this vehicle, so we went in to go over the numbers, and get their NO HASSLE price, only to find out the they will not honor the sales manager's deal that my friend had in a printed email. We even called John, the sales fleet manager, who had already gone home, and he would not honor his own deal either. It is painfully obvious to us that they have this crappy, white, Kia Soul, that they know is below parr, and they tried to convince my friend to settle for less than he knew was available, and when the curtain on that deal was pulled back and the lights of the dealership, revealed its many flaws, they refused to honor the deal they made to my friend, for the second vehicle that was built correctly and had all the features that were discussed with John, before he emailed my friend that quote. Can anyone say BAIT AND SWITCH? The funny thing is, they let us walk out of their dealership, because they wanted to charge an extra $399 for lifetime window tinting, nitrogen filled tires, and their auto butler car washes for three years... these features were spelled out in John Giatropoulos' email as being included in the price he quoted. They also inflated the licensing fees by an extra hundred dollars as well, but my friend was willing to eat that, so basically they lost the deal over $399. Just to be clear, our sales rep. Ronnie was very good and very professional, from start to finish... the three guys with NO INTEGRITY, were John Giatropoulos, the sales fleet manager, Kevin in financing, and Carlos, the sales manager. Buyer beware!!!!!!!! Don't say you were not warned. One additional item: I posted this same review on Camelback Kia's Facebook page, late last evening, and it had already been removed by morning. This means that, not only are several of the members of the Camelback Kia sales team not trustworthy, but neither are the reviews on their Facebook page... Only the favorable ones get to remain on there for potential customers to see and get suckered in to becoming victims of this shady company. read more

Well, this was certainly a first....to be escorted out of a car dealership and told we should go buy a car elsewhere! My son test drove a 2020 Kia Forte yesterday and liked it and was given a price on a no trade in deal. We returned today, ready to pay cash for the car and leave with it. He asked what they would give him for his car if he did trade it in and they offered $2500 less than the offer already given from CarMax. We obviously said no. After all sorts of negotiations we were unable to get anywhere near the price given the day before. We did not need financing and my son told them the day before there would be no financing. They then claimed the price they gave could only be offered with financing. The extremely unprofessional sales rep was not able to defend her numbers and kept running to the manager for help. She was defensive and very rude. I told her she had an attitude and I didn't like it. She couldn't match the promised price and could not get herself out of the deceitful tactics they hoped we would fall for. After telling her to knock off the attitude the manager makes his appearance saying they make no money on financing. So why insist we finance? Then he says ,,you come in here with a carmax price on a proposal. Yes, you're point is? Then he says ,,,,I don't think we are going to be able to do business, I think you better go buy your car (cash) someplace else and proceeded to walk to the door and open it for us to leave. The salesperson (I call her an order taker) knew absolutely nothing about cars. She was rude and interrupted on numerous occasions trying to divert attention from actual questions. A nightmare. This is a side note which just shows their lack of professionalism....the girl shows up in grey sweatpants, a tee shirt, unwashed hair and looked completely unkept. Pretty bad when you walk in to pay cash for a promised price on a car and end up being escorted out and told to buy elsewhere. My advice....do not waste your entire Sunday morning expecting anything truthful or polite from these folks. Hold on to your wallet and go buy yourself a car elsewhere, as the manager suggested. Everybody, go buy elsewhere. read more

I bought a car from Camelback Kia less than 2 weeks ago and will never be back or make any referrals. It took 8 hours over 2 days to make a deal that was already more than what I was comfortable with. My sales guy, Ian, was great but I feel that i was ultimately screwed over by management. This is the first car I have financed but not the first I have bought from a dealership. There was no reason for me to buy a new car other than to increase my credit. I went in knowing exactly how much I could afford monthly, exactly how much my trade in was worth and I did not have funds to put down. I was given $500 for my trade in, which is complete bullshit. The last 3 dealerships offered me between 3000 and 3500, and I had a private seller looking at it for close to 4000. I was so burnt out from being hassled by the manager that we finally got payments down to 6 dollars more than I wanted and I agreed. We came back the next day and the payments dropped to the exact amount I wanted. I then waited another 3 hours to do financing, and of course the service agreements added another 36 dollars to my payment. But I said hey, I think I can make this work. I just have to get a second job but I like this car. Well, on Thursday I got a call from a lady saying they got the final approval for my loan so I needed to come in right away to resign some papers, which was inconvenient cause this dealership is about 25 minutes away. I agreed to go in at 6:30PM last night. When I get there, my financing guy had no knowledge of what was going on so I had to wait another 35 minutes for them to figure it out. Well guess what? MY PAMENTS INCREASED. I am now paying $50 more a month than I originally wanted. I was pissed. I repeatedly asked what options I had to make that lower or to give back the car. He just kept saying that it's not their fault, it's the banks. Well, how is it my fault that you made a deal that you are now going back on? I should've just demanded my car back and left. But no, he kept pushing that I really didn't have an option because it's the banks fault. Oh and that in 2 years I can come back when I have better credit and can buy a newer car from them at a lower rate. (I will NEVER buy from your dealership again). I am beyond livid by the service I have received. I am requesting my down payment to be returned in full in order to offset the extra money I now need to put forward each month. Note to potential buyers: this place is terrible, go ANYWHERE ELSE. read more

Unequivocally one of the best car dealership experiences I've had. Huge shoutout to Kat,DC, and the entire finance team for stepping up and showing that customer service means more to them than $$$. I have never been happier with ANY purchase in my life and know the entire Camelback Kia team will have my back if something does go wrong with my vehicle. For everyone complaining about those 'mailers', your only regret should be not letting their team give you the same awesome customer service and support. Thanks again guys, love my new Kia!!! read more

Camelback Kia - Car Dealers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had the pleasure/displeasure of car shopping a few weeks back, Veronique Carrancho was an absolute breath of fresh air. After spending alot of time talking to different dealerships and getting the run around, we stopped at Camelback Kia. I explained exactly what I was looking for and the price range and credit score I had, Veronique, her sales manager and the finance manager were all kind, considerate and helpful. Unfortunately ultimately they did not have a vehicle that I was looking for ( I was looking for something very specific in pre-owned), but I would wholeheartedly recommend them for your shopping needs. Beautiful dealership, low pressure, accommodating and very thorough. Definitely ask for Veronique. She was very kind and helpful. We felt bad we didn't find what we were looking for there that day :( read more

Absolutely awful dealership. Recently went to get a minor issue with my car looked at and was helped by "Adrian" from the service department. Even though I only needed my airbag system checked, which he even stated shouldn't take long at all. I was forced to wait for hours longer than the predicted time. Eventually, fed up from waiting for the terrible service, I told them I was going to leave and asked if they would call me when the repair was completed. Adrian informed me I had no reason to leave because the repair would surely be completed with 30 minutes. Although, 30 minutes later they still werent completed with my "simple" airbag check. The total repair took over 5 hours (3 more than the projected time) 3 of those 5 hours I spent waiting at the dealership. The review was also exceptionally overpriced when all was said and done. PLEASE AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. read more

I went in there last week and saw Arielle Rivers. I had a great experience. She worked with me with what I was able to do. She offered beverages and even showed my baby attention .

Summary: They lie about what they have in stock just to get you in the door. Driving downtown during rush hour is NOT my favorite way to waste my time. More info: The first trip to see our desired make/model/package was a disappointment as the sales rep didn't confirm that the color HAD that package available. The second trip was made for a specific car and negotiated price. When we arrived, they had lied about the car (it was AWD, not FWD - which is a major hit to MPGs and not something we wanted) and they had lied about the terms of the deal (75 months instead of the agreed-to 60). read more

I set up a deal with Mike Kimbrell via email before going to Camelback Kia. I was emailing and calling other Kia dealers in the area, but I kept getting a HUGE runaround the second I asked about an "Out The Door" price. One dealer in particular has great advertised prices on their website. But when I finally got them to disclose the dealer fees (after numerous attempts and hours of waiting for a call or email), I found out their final price, when the dealer fees are added on, puts them above nearly everyone else. I simply didn't want to play the hidden "dealer fee" games on an advertised web price. I refuse to pay over $2000 for overpriced "add-ons" I would never want a dealer to install. I just wanted an answer to a simple question, "What is this car going to cost when all is said and done?" - period. Mike Kimbrell was happy to answer that question. Mike gave me a couple of "Out The Door" prices on a couple of cars. The prices were where I wanted. My wife and I went down and looked at a few cars. We worked with Rodney in sales to test drive and finalize the deal - Rodney was absolutely fantastic. We settled on a car, but they didn't have the color we wanted. "No problem", they said, "We'll get one in a day or two". The paper work came out to sign. The price quoted with fees, tax, title, and licensing was what Mike said it would be. No games! No surprises! Just an honest deal. The only downside we experienced was a very long wait to talk to the finance guy to close everything. I'm not sure what the problem was there - but everything else was great. read more

I recently purchased a 2020 Kia Optima SE in late March of this year. Everything was great until the 4th of July i was on my way back from Cali and my car just started to aggressively shake, decelerated and we were stuck in the middle of the desert. Luckily we were by a small city. Unfortunately we had to get my car towed to the nearest city there in california. The vehicle smelt like burned fuel and smoke was coming out the back. We had to spend another day so i can figure out the issue of this vehicle. The people at cathedral city Kia were very helpful but i had to leave my car in for a week or 2 due to the issues they found. I was so frustrated at that point because i was paying a rental out of pocket. When i went back home to AZ i went to the kia dealership (where it was purchased) and basically begged for them to see if they can rent me a vehicle due to the unfortunate out of pocket expense that i did not have and the sales manager at kia ( i don't remember his name) said "well there's nothing we can do, your responsible for the vehicle, it's not here in AZ", i know that! he was NOT helpful or didn't have no empathy for me and my issue with their vehicle. My car was 4 hours away from home and the gas prices and the back and fourth was costing me all my money. I had to go back to the california dealership where they gave me a 10 day rental through hertz(that was another problem but we won't get into that), but for me to drive 8 hours total for a rental through KIA was ridiculous! A week and a half later i was able to get my vehicle back and on my way back home it shook and decelerated again! the engine light, battery and oil light came on but it wasn't shaking. I turned it off and back on and luckily the car was drivable after. I had my car back for 2 days and i had to return it to the service department because it would jerk, decelerate and all those same lights would come on while i'm on the freeway! it was unsafe at that point for me to drive. i was paying over $700 for a vehicle a month for me not to drive it! it's very frustrating! i was able to get a rental but the tech told me "we will replace a fuel pump BUT we don't know if this will solve the issue or not". KIA!! i will not want my vehicle back if it's not 100% in a SAFE or WORKING condition! They sold me a lemon car and they said i would have to come back and redo the whole process of buying a new vehicle again which i think is unfair. I am NOT happy with the vehicle no more. The reimbursement claim will take up to 90days for them to review and "IF" they approve me it's going to take an additional 2 months for me to even get a check. Please ask questions and read your contracts!! Thank God i was still under warranty BUT the whole experience since i had this issue was so exhausting! I would've expected more courtesy and assistance but i got the bottom of the barrel. If at the end they are able to buy the vehicle back i will be taking my business elsewhere. These sales personnel just want their sale and not make no one happy. read more

This review is for the service side. I scheduled an appointment to get an oil change done, when I arrived for my appointment I was told I'd have to wait an hour and a half. Then one of the other gentleman announced that they only had two service guys that day. I ended up waiting in the waiting room for 2 and a half hours (for an oil change). After being frustrated I went to the counter, letting them know that I really needed to leave, and they said there was nothing they could do besides skip the car wash. Not sure why I would have to skip out of part of the service, because they couldn't deliver on time promised. I would absolutely not make an appointment here again, there is no point. Back to the family-owned auto shop that I have been going to, I go. read more

Service department condescending, unhelpful and act like they are doing me a favor. Brought vehicle in for A/C under warranty and insisted it was working within manufacturers specs..... Huh? It was not working. Wasted a day. Brought car to a reputable A/C service and they immediately found the leak. Paid $700 out of pocket because I refused to go back to Camelback Kia. They are worse than the dealer to purchased (Nick Mayer). PS: The shuttle service is good and the drivers are awesome. Tip them well if you decide to go there. Only reason they are two and not one stars. ******see review under Nick Mayer Kia****** read more

Worst experience I've ever had. Got "pre-qualified" online and talked to Mike Kimbrell via text all day yesterday saying how I'll get in a new car with 1000 down etc only to waste my whole morning at this stupid dealership to be told i have to have a co-sign to get anything. Why would you tell a person they are gonna get a car and then when i show up not only did i get passed to another kid looking sales guy but i def didn't get what i was led to believe i would get. If i could give zero stars i would. STAY AWAY! read more

I've been getting my car serviced at Camelback Kia since I purchased my vehicle in 2014. I noticed in the last year that the sales staff has gotten very aggressive with trying to sell new vehicles to people waiting for their service to be complete. Now, I understand this is a car dealership but when I say no or not interested then I mean it. I had a woman hassle me about a new car in the lobby and also while I was on the restroom which I thought was totally inappropriate. Just yesterday another young man was listening in on my conversation with the mechanic and tried to swoop in and sell me a car as soon and he walked away to estimate the service costs. I did not appreciate the eavesdropping and again the pushiness after I said I was not interested. At this point I have decided to get my service done elsewhere moving forward. You may want to have your sales people back off before others do the same. It's bad enough to have to wait for hours for an oil change and basic maintenance on top of trying to dodge car salesmen. read more

Update: I talked to Tino at Camelback Kia today and he said he'll take care of the contract. All corrections hould be completed shortly.

My wife and I went in just wanting to test drive a few SUV's to get a better idea of what we want. Our salesman was very condescending. He only wanted to talk about prices and was not even willing to show us the models we were interested in. Terrible overall experience. Will not be purchasing or recommending them to anybody anytime soon. read more

If I could give a zero star review I would. My husband and I went to the dealership to test drive a Kia Telluride today. Instead, the salesperson told us that the only way we can do a test drive is if we agree to the price first. I have purchased many cars and this is not the way it is done. We were disappointed as my husband was excited about this vehicle. This is not the way you will earn our business. read more

Best service around. I feel welcomed when I bring my car in. Crystal in service is awesome.

This place sucks to get your car serviced. No matter if I have an appointment or not, go on different days of the week, or if I go in at different times nothing changes. For a routine oil change you'll be waiting AT LEAST 3 hours and that's if they remember to let you know it's done. It's terrible customer service they are never apologetic and even if I have a appointment I still won't get out of there sooner than three hours. Go somewhere else read more

Minus 10 stars. This dealership offered a zaktek package with my car at date of purchase, which I didn't want but they "reduced the price of it" so it seemed like a deal. I dropped off my car Wednesday December 15, 2022 to get it done Thurs December 16, 2021. At the time I picked it up, Charles, the service advisor mentioned the cold temps that morning, like it had something to do with the application of the zaktek. Friday December 17, 2021 I noticed clear overspray all over the windows and paint. The car feels like it was painted with sand now. I brought it back to dealership Monday only to have them say it will cost me $100.00 to have it buffed out!!! The car is a 2020 I bought from them 6 months ago. They deny it being anything to do with the zaktek application. The customer service at this dealership has been terrible when it comes to getting appointments for even an oil change and now this!!! I will be finding another Kia dealership for the remainder of my warranty that will stand behind their work. Thanks for ruining by new car. read more

My wife was a sales person here for 2 months and sold 12 cars during that time with zero experience in the car business. Everyday she came home with stories of everything that goes on in this dealership and how they have to lie to their customers. She walked in on her general manager and his assistant sales manager snorting cocaine in the back and they just played it off like it was a normal thing to do which it is at this dealership. Many of her fellow sales reps were constantly on drugs to deal with the high pressure environment and offered her drugs on several occasions. She was instructed to lie to potential customers, deceive and say anything to get them in the store. "We'll help you keep your monthly payment and get you in a brand new car" 100% of the time that never happened. There is no "end of the month sale" "this weekend only" they say that every month, every day just to get the customer in the store. They are required to make 40 phone calls minimum on a daily basis and call the same customers over and over and refuse to remove their names from the do not call list. When she came in for the job interview Mike Younan gave her a whole talk of how she was going to be making great money and a $1,200 bonus if she sold 3 cars or more on her first month which was complete BS, then once she started working she witnessed how employees work their ass off and get treated like sh**, an 18 year old female employees getting yelled at and completely disrespected in front of everyone just because she didn't pick up her phone that was dead. Do not do business here, take it from someone who has been in the inside of this business and I don't mean just being in there. read more
