Sudarsh G.

**Never have I had such a disappointing experience at a dealership.** I visited Dublin Kia to purchase a used Acura MDX. From my very first visit, it felt like the dealership had little interest in actually selling the vehicle. The overall customer service was indifferent, and I had to follow up repeatedly throughout the process. Once I decided to purchase the car, the experience only got worse. I even agreed to buy their mandatory **StarGard** package for an additional **$999** without negotiating the vehicle's asking price or trying to bargain over anything else. At the very least, I expected the car to be delivered in excellent condition. The vehicle wasn't even properly cleaned for the test drive. After repeatedly reminding the staff to detail it before delivery, I was assured they wouldn't let me leave without doing so. Unfortunately, what they called a "detail" was nothing more than a basic car wash and a quick vacuum. The car was still dirty inside and out. I've attached photos showing the condition of the vehicle when it was delivered. To make matters worse, the car wasn't even delivered with a full tank of gas. For a purchase of $40,000-$50,000, filling the gas tank seems like a basic courtesy that many dealerships provide. It reflected a level of carelessness and disregard for the customer that was extremely disappointing. The financing process was equally frustrating. Despite having excellent credit, the finance manager initially quoted me a much higher interest rate and claimed it was the best available. Then, after I agreed to purchase additional packages, he suddenly said, *"Oh, I can get the interest rate even lower since you are nice people."* That immediately made me question whether I had been given an honest offer in the first place. Financing should be based on creditworthiness, not on whether a customer agrees to buy add-ons. Buying a car is already a major financial decision. It shouldn't feel like you're constantly being pressured into unnecessary products or wondering whether you're being taken advantage of. I expected professionalism, transparency, and basic customer care. Unfortunately, I experienced none of those at Dublin Kia. Experiences like this are exactly why people have such little trust in car dealerships. Instead of building long-term relationships through honesty and transparency, this process felt focused on extracting as much money as possible from the customer. I hope this review helps future buyers make a more informed decision.

2026 Kia Carnival SX
Shailesh M.

Great experience purchasing the amazing minivan - 2026 Kia carnival SX with this dealer the last weekend! This time had done a bit of research and wanted this Kia model and found the best color (astra blue) and model in this superb Dublin location. Has been a quality time with the driver and luxury of this kia carnival since then - my wife and specially the kids are loving this. Special mention to salesperson Ahmed, he made the whole process so efficient and convenient. The experience was fantastic - everything from test driver to tour to final paperwork went quickly and got amazing deal price with good maintenance coverage. Highly recommended to anyone looking for Kia cars with great tech and luxury options!

Had a great purchasing experience at Kia Dublin, amazing service from Tony. Got my dream family car and enjoyed the process. Tony was super helpful and I did not feel pressured at all during the experience, gave me a full tour of the car and dealership & service. Already thinking about the future for next time I buy here!

What an experience at Kia Dublin. If you're shopping here, be prepared for classic bait-and-switch tactics and a lot of backtracking once you're already invested in the process. The only positive was the vehicle price itself and even that came with strings attached. For transparency, the team I worked with: * Sales: Moe / Mohammed * Finance: Raymond * Sales Manager: Nav This started with a listing for a used 2026 vehicle advertised at 2,176 miles for $32,576. On paper, it looked like a great deal, so I came in for a test drive. The moment I turned the car on, the odometer read 3,900 miles, a nearly 1,800-mile discrepancy. When I asked about it, I was told it was due to "test drives and moving the car around the lot." After checking Edmunds, the vehicle had been on the lot for 11 days. Driving nearly 1,800 miles in that timeframe is not believable. I asked for a price adjustment and was told the best they could do was a detail and a full tank of gas. Moe did remove a nearly $2,000 Spartan retrieval fee that was supposedly "standard," which only raises more questions. I walked away for the day. The next morning, Moe said he'd tried everything with management but the price was firm. He mentioned he could help me out with maintenance instead. When I came back, that "help" turned out to be maintenance packages offered at cost, still something I had to pay for. I declined. After consulting a friend who's a district manager at Lexus, I agreed the price was still fair for the mileage and proceeded, with the understanding that all add-ons were removed and I'd receive a full tank of gas and a detail. During financing, the payment initially didn't work, so I left. Later, I was told they found a solution, by increasing my APR by 0.1% and extending the loan to 72 months. I planned to refinance anyway, so I moved forward. Paperwork was signed, and after about an hour, I was handed the keys. We take a photo, I get in the car... and the gas tank is half full. When I asked why, Moe said his manager wouldn't approve filling it. Nav then came out and told me they don't even fill used vehicles, and that the half tank was a "courtesy." Apparently, I should just be happy with the price. After going back and forth, Nav finally agreed to a free detail at a later date. At that point, I was done arguing and just wanted to leave. Based on how this transaction went, I have very little confidence they'll actually honor that promise, but I'll update this review if they do. Bottom line: Kia Dublin lists aggressive prices, but don't expect transparency, consistency, or follow-through. Promises change depending on who you're talking to, and everything seems to require pushing back. Constantly. Proceed with caution. Picture of odometer is after driving back from Dublin to my apartment in Fremont, to the gym 2 miles away and back home.

The sales guy in Fremont took us for a test drive, then had a pre-scheduled appointment he had to take. He promised to follow up but we never heard back from him again. He must have assumed we were not serious buyers. Oh well, his loss! On a whim, we went to the Lexus in Pleasanton to see if they had the 2026 or 2027 NX 350h in Premium or Luxury in White with Black interior. They did not have the exact model we wanted but they did have the beautiful vehicle we purchased! It was more car than we anticipated buying, but it was such a great car and price...plus they gave us the trade in amount we wanted for our 2016 Mercedes GLC300. Farooq Omar was our sales guy and he was really nice! Not your typical pushy car salesman. And although the car buying process always takes such a long time, Farooq made the experience bearable for us. In our haste to leave the dealership (because we had been there for hours), we failed to notice that the trunk cover was missing. A quick call to the dealership and Farooq promised he would acquire one for us. We pick it up on Saturday! Thank you Lexus of Pleasanton!

Five years later, and after giving the current team a shot, I was finally able to get what I wanted and mutual terms and wasn't just told what I wanted to hear, but they actually made it happen.

Nick who worked with Khalil and gave me a brutally honest yet best help I have had almost ever at a dealership and then JR who worked on some great deals on extra coverages. And then Joe, coming in with a couple favors/offers himself (i'll keep the one a secret)! Oh wait.... Did I mention Khalil.

Genuine, informative, patient, and consistent throughout the entire process. We test drove some cars the first day and came back the second to purchase the car, and he was helpful through the entire process start to finish. John in finance was also amazing. He worked incredibly hard and put in a lot of effort to make sure my boyfriend got the deal and the car he wanted, and even included some additional perks that were incredibly kind and appreciated. Overall, they made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. Thank you so much to Yuri and John and highly recommend this awesome dealership.

I'm happy to wait 10 minutes for someone who can. I am not terribly upset the car I want to test drive is unavailable. It would have been nice to drive it. Or even see it. But no one bothered to show me the car. Or any car. What I am upset is that you saw I was wearing a wedding ring and asked me if all my decision makers are here. Like I need my husband's permission to buy a car (I managed to buy the last 2 without help). I doubt you would have asked my husband that if he was at the dealership. Instead I finally talked to a woman (my service advisor) who finally cared enough to grab keys to show me the inside of a car because the men just chose to dismiss me. It wasn't even her job guys! It's 2026. Please do better.

I also posted this on DealerRating site:…read more My daughter was run off the road by a drunk driver and crashed her first car. I have never seen her so sad nor heard such heart wrenching crying at her loss. Personally I am just happy she walked away without injury but still felt her pain. She began looking for a new car on 3/20/2018. She had a specific type of car in mind, Toyota Camry Solara, as she heard Toyota's can go for 300,000 miles if car maintenance was kept up. Her mother took her to see approximately 30 cars at several large and small dealerships. ALL of them found on the internet seemed to have great images and all spoke of fantastic values and what great cars they were, all with a clean Carfax. ALL OF THEM were lemons. At 1 dealership she was shown a car. She and her mother test drove it. They both said it was AMAZING so on a Saturday I drove from Bay area to Sacramento, picked her up and went to see the car. We then test drove it and it sounded like the transmission was chewing metal. The assorted squeaks and chattering from several things were so loud you could not hear yourself talk. She started crying and said the car did not sound or drive like this the night before. Turned out when she inspected the car closer that it was NOT the one they were shown and test drove the night before. Talk about a Bait and Switch, what they did I would think is criminal. She continued her search then sent me a link to one she found in Pleasanton at Auto World and asked if I could go out and take a look at it. I drove out there and could Not believe the car that I found and purchased. The images did not Even compare to the beauty of the car. Everything about this vehicle was absolutely phenomenal. With 165,000 miles on it, the motor turned over like it was new. When test drove there was not 1 squeak, chatter or grinding sound what so ever. The wear on the interior was Less than what would be expected in a 2005 and it did not smell like an old forest. The tires almost new. Every electronic system worked! Absolutely Incredible! The salesman and GM I worked with were absolutely wonderful people. If I lived in the area I think I would actually visit them from time to time just to socialize. There was No pressure what so ever in the purchase of the car. Actually the car really sold itself so most of the test drive we talked about other things in our personnel lives. Then there was the price. I am not going to divulge how good of a deal I got but I will tell you this, in a few months my youngest daughter graduates and I have to purchase another vehicle for her. I will be going to Auto World right from the start this time. Not going to spend countless hours searching online and traveling long distances when I need to get a car. The money I saved from what they were asking to what I actually purchased the car for will easily cover the cost of having an upgraded Stereo System put in. :-) Now THAT totally Rocks! I will begin my next car buying experience by first going to Auto Worlds website that makes it very easy to see their inventory. For your convenience they are located here: http://www.autoworldpleasanton.com/ Jamie and Mo, I again would like to thank you for the wonderful deal you gave me on the car. It was awesome when my daughter arrived to pick it up. There is Nothing that makes a father feel better then when his daughter, tears streaming down her face from joy, gives you a great big hug thanking you. Repeatedly. :-) At least 10 times in the 15 minutes I turned it over to her. The sadness I saw her go through when she lost her first car became an Instant, distant memory as I watched her test drive her new one. I should have taken a picture of the smile on her face. :-) I have read some of the other Negative reviews from this Yelp site and I will state that I just purchased the vehicle on 5/5/2018 but as of yet, there is not 1 negative thing I can say about this place. Save yourself some time. START here when looking for a used car. Check the web-site, if you find something interesting go down and check out the car and others on the lot. THEN continue with other dealerships. You will have a good starting point at which to compare other things you find. I bet you will come back to Auto World to purchase. I wish everyone the best of luck in searching for a used car. It is Such a pain trying to find a good deal and a vehicle you feel confident won't break down a few days after you drive it away. We will see how good this car is, as the days go by. I will come back to this review in a month or so and give an update as to how well the car is still running. Take care all, thank you for reading my post it truly comes from the heart. David.

Went in to look for a 335d BMW advertised on Craigslist. Seemed like it was sold the day before…read more Took a look at two similar diesel powered Mercedes that had what I thought were good prices. Those two cars were beautifully clean. I test drove one and I could tell it was mechanically great - just wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

If you do find something you like here don't twiddle your thumbs - with the prices they have here inventory moves.
