I've been going to the service center at 1st Kia of Simi Valley since buying my car in May 2022. They have been extremely reliable and helpful this whole time. Last weekend I went in for my regular service and was helped by Oscar. He was very friendly and professional. He explained what was going to be done to the car and made some recommendations, but was not pushy about it. He kept in communication with me as the car was being worked on. I'm overall very pleased by the outcome of my visit. I would highly recommend seeing Oscar if you need your car serviced. read more

Oscar was so helpful with my service of my 2022 Kia Telluride! He went above and beyond for me and is the ultimate professional that obviously takes great pride in his work. 1st Kia of Simi Valley is fortunate to have an exemplary employee like Oscar!! read more

Very very helpful! My service advisor was Oscar and he was super knowledgeable and even stayed around to make sure I was satisfied with my service! Definitely would recommend. read more

Oscar gets a 5 star review .Went here because this is where we bought our Kia Sportage and needed an oil change. Oscar was our service advisor. Very nice guy and took care of all our needs. He was very kind. He took care of our car and was very thorough. Their are signs up saying due to the water shortage in California they would not be washing cars . My husband brought it to their attention that that has been lifted, however they did not wash our car. read more

Just moved to the area and was in desperate need of a car. But there is no inventory anywhere; prices are inflated everywhere. I had my heart set on a Hybrid... an even bigger challenge. Walked on to the Kia lot and there it was: a 2016 Prius, certified preowned... I was sure the car sales rep would leap on me and start applying pressure but, no. Sid politely greeted me and then gave me time and space to look it over while I checked in with my people and considered my options. Sid was professional and friendly and provided all the information i needed to make a decision. He also got me a stellar deal on financing! I drove the car off the lot and am so happy with my decision. I love me new Prius! read more

This is the second time I came with Oscar and he helped a lot with both visits. Honestly if you go I recommend to call him

Oscar is the best! Everytime I visit, he's always pleasant, and cares about his customers, and their needs..

I would not buy a car from them if I were you. The 100,000 mile warranty is useless and they come up with every reason to charge you even for the most basic items that are not working read more

Great, prompt, efficient service! Oscar took great care of us. He fit our car in for a service issue even though it was a busy Friday and had it taken care of by the same evening. Even better, he gave us the heads up that it was part of a larger Kia issue so there was no charge. Don't hesitate to come to 1st Kia and ask for Oscar. read more

My service advisor was Oscar and I am so glad to have gotten him. He is honest and reliable. Helped me by going above and beyond. Will definitely recommend trusting him and his mechanics to work on your car. read more

This is the second time we came to 1st Kia of Simi Valley. Justin was a great help in getting us what we needed and even came in on his day off. The customer service was great. Will definitely come back and refer our friends and family. read more

Best car buying experience. No pressure, they worked to be able to offer best terms,lNoah and team come through as honest good folks. Oh ,and love our new addition, kia hybrid Sorento. read more

I've purchased two cars from 1st Kia and have been very satisfied with their service. Oscar Robles was very helpful at my last service appointment and can be counted on to be clear in his description of what is needed as well as being friendly and prompt. read more

Do not take your car here for any kind of repairs. They have 1 mechanic to work on an EV6 and are pushing my appointment back 3 months for a factory recall, because they are too busy. I have had 2 earlier appointments cancelled on me by them. When I said that was unacceptable, they told me to take it back to where I bought it in Glendale. I live in Simi Valley and was told I could take it anywhere for service. They said they do not want to work on my car again. I paid thousands extra for a platinum warranty. They do not care. What a joke they are. If I could give one star I would. read more

Had a really positive experience with Oscar, he really cares about his customers. I left happy and satisfied!

I brought my Kia in to get an oil change and to complete a few easy recalls. Oscar and his team were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I recently moved in the area, and I will be coming back to here for my Kia maintenance! read more

Don't ever buy a Kia. The engine burns oil so fast, we end up having to spend so much money on oil to top it off. It's just a pile of junk. DON'T DO IT!!!!! You will regret it. The employees are rude and unhelpful and dread taking it there. read more

Stay away from this price gouging unprofessionally run dealership. Came to strike a deal on a new lease. But was totally shocked to find that even during our current state of the world... they wanted/expected me to pay nearly twice the rate I am currently paying. And get this.... for a less expensive car than I already leasing. Wow! STAY AWAY from this dealership at all cost. read more

I ended up staying at Kia longer than I thought i would, but Oscar was very helpful and kind! He has great customer service and made sure we left happy! Super thankful!! read more

Service sucks. My is having engine trouble and they won't even try to fix it. They just shrug it off like it's nothing. It is under warranty and they kept my car for two weeks no rental. I had to pay over $1,000 for a rental and no reimbursement or even maybe a discounted rate for the rental or anything. Having to drive all the way to Carson to go to another dealer. When I bought the car in simi! I am so not happy. read more

I went to #firstkiaofsimivalley this afternoon to look their #EV6 which had a sticker of $53,360. The sticker on the window was $61,358!! They added a $7k "market premium", added two paint additive scams of $499 each and a ridiculous cost for a Level 2 charger. Greedy, very greedy! Don't shop here. Go buy a Mustang Mach--E GT and take advantage of the $7500 tax credit and get a better vehicle. I hope #kiamotors is listening and takes action against this type of shit. read more

Had such a remarkably positive experience here at First Kia of Simi. Everyone who works here is a hard working and knowledgeable! Collin took very good care of us and made sure we were fully satisfied. He demonstrated a level of clean cut professionalism. The manager Bob also was a huge help. We also met the owner, Jonny Kia, I thought was a nice touch. It's a casual, comfortable and safe facility. Everyone is friendly, plenty of good vibes, it's pleasantville. There are plenty of cars on the lot to choose from. I recommend doing some research before you come in to purchase or lease so you can make sure to get the best offer. Overall they were willing to work with us and our tight budget in a timely manner. We went and test drove and walked out with a car in one day. Thank you First Kia of Simi for practicing fair business and with a good attitude. Our car is flawless and drives perfectly. It was one of the best car buying / leasing experiences ever!!! read more

Horrible service and staff . Management needs to be cleaned out. They offered taping the edge of my window on 2 year old car because they didn't want to cover warranty read more

Easy to set up service appt. Direct communication with service coordinator. Greeted upon arrival. Over all a great experience.

Eddie Portocarrero was very efficient, kind, and accommodating when we came for our purchase. He never failed to make sure we were comprehensive of whatever was happening and aware of all options possible. Great customer service from him for sure. Will totally be back for future purchases and don't regret a thing !! Thank you once again for all your help Eddie...... My daughter loves her car !!!!! read more

Kia of Simi Valley was great. Very responsive and was Malleable with my husband and I's needs. Noah was awesome! Personable, kind and wasn't pushy at all. Great experience and would recommend this place. read more

Just bought my brand new 2018 Kool KIA Soul+ Mark Brody Hooked me up on the exact car I wanted at the price I wanted, no hassle sale and he's so knowledgeable about KIA's even gave me the rundown on the ApplePlay and everything else before we left, thanks Sid for hitting the price point for me, everyone is nice here, very pleasant experience. you know we were serious when we were shopping on a stormy Mysterious Blue night, thanks I love it and thanks for letting me bang the gong haha read more

See all

I took my car to get serviced with Oscar, and he was very helpful. He gave me full details of what was going on with my car. I didn't have an appointment but he was able to check it right away and had it fixed fast. read more

They are not very responsive to calls. The 855 number on Google and Yelp is disconnected. Someone should probably pay attention to these details. The number on their website works though. I spoke with one of the salespeople who said he would call back but never did. I left a message for one of the managers. No call back. Hello? It's usually a good idea to call potential customers back. Unfortunately, this is the second Kia dealership I have dealt with and unfortunately the people I am encountering are disappointing. I went to Honda and Audi with really positive experiences. Maybe my current Kia is the last one we will buy. read more

The Sales Manager and other management are not to be trusted.They charge premiums on new car purchases, will not process EV California rebates and act as if it is the purchaser responsibility. They are not helpful and use every possible angle to take advantage of their customers. They are worse than used car dealerships. KIA corporate also is of no help! read more

No different than any other dealership that plays price games. I went in to lease a hybrid Sportage and they offered me one deal just over my budget of course and said I would need a tier one credit co-signer to get a lower price so I said no. Next day they told me I could get that lower price myself with no co-signer needed. Greedy sales manager and bored salespeople. I wasted my time and gas money going there, don't do the same! read more

Just purchased our very first Kia today. Our car salesman's name was Jonathan, and he was awesome! Super helpful, honest, and all around great. It was a wonderful experience! read more

I went to take my car for regular service maintenance and was greeted by Oscar. Oscar at the service station explained to me the service recommended for my vehicle, answered my questions in great detail, and made my visit to the dealership pleasurable. Even though the service team took a while to service my car because my AC compressor was out, Oscar went out of his way to diligently research my extended warranty covered the repair. While waiting at the dealership, I was offered complimentary coffee and hot chocolate, which is located in the waiting room. I also took the time to browse the lot to look at the newer vehicles that Kia is selling. I met with a car salesman, Juan, and he provided me with insight into the new vehicles on the lot and showed me the new features of several of the vehicles. Overall, during my three-hour stay, I notice the staff hustling to get their assignments/duties completed, I also observed Oscar speaking with other customers and providing the same great service I received, and the sales staff attending the guest roaming the dealership lot. I would recommend that Kia owners get their service maintenance performed here. read more

Oscar was awesome!! Talked to him on the phone, just wanted more info on what kind of modifications I can do to my car without voiding my warranty and he went into detail about what u can do and helped me understand what I can and cannot do. Very helpful and got exactly what I was asking for! Will be asking for him when I have more questions or go in for service 10/10 read more

I had a terrible experience at 1st Kia in Simi Valley. They tried to claim I needed a new $8,000 transmission due to my negligence, despite my car being under warranty with less than 50k miles and recalls out for my vehicle. They couldn't fulfill the recall due to lack of documentation of an oil service within the last 3 YEARS. After going elsewhere to get a 2nd opinion, I found out within 10 minutes that all I needed were spark plugs and knock sensors which came out to $650. It's disappointing that a licensed Kia dealership couldn't properly diagnose my car, if anyone was negligent during this transaction it was Greg (Service Manager) & Brian (Service Rep). Greg then threatened to take me to collections because I put a stop payment on the check for the $190 false diagnosis. Highly recommend you skip this scam all together and find actual skilled professionals. read more

Last week I took my Kia to get car recall fixed. Made an appointment at Kia dealership in Simi, but when I got there, the gentleman man who initially helped asked me if I leased the car here and when I said No, he immediately said that I should take it to where I leased the car from. When I said that I have an appointment, he got upset and asked me to wait. Inspite of having an appointment, I had to wait over 1 hr to get him come back to me. He was very rude and kept mumbling that we shouldn't be here and that's when I got upset and requested someone else to help me. Kia is known for its superior service but that wasn't the case here. Employees represent the brand and are the face of the brand. If they treat customers differently based on where the car was leased/ purchased then it's just wrong. I reached out to the manager of the service dept, but hasn't gotten any response yet. I plan to write to the CEO to get his attention to this negative experience just so someone else wouldn't have similar experience and be discriminated just because we didn't lease from this particular dealership. Regardless, where the vehicle is leased/purchased, Kia should help fix their manufacturing defects. When I asked for this gentleman's name, other employees just apologized to me and didn't share his name. read more

I just have to say today was a great day. Joshua Vafee found the perfect vehicle for my wife on our anniversary today. Very trustworthy and knowledgeable. My wife had so many vehicles she had her mind set on, but Joshua found the ultimate package! A new fully loaded Kia 2020 Telluride with a dark moss green color and custom black rims. Beautiful vehicle. I did not know Kia would be so impressive. Joshua's customer service was just incredible. My wife couldn't leave the house because she had the kids, so he said no problem and drove the car to her. I am impressed and ecstatic at my wife's reaction and how happy she was. Thank you The Saykally Family read more

Thank goodness I chose this as my first choice to stop at. Josh (Jackson) cane over smiling and within moments knew just what car would work for me. And he was spot on! Plus, it being Christmas Eve they treated me like Mrs. Clause in the work shop. All the elves brought me coffee, sweets, smiles. Arthur has the paperwork done so fast I never even got writers cramp! I got to meet the owner and everyone. Josh was so great-not pushy, kind, explained everything, and definitely got me the best offer possible. And-he put a bow on the car! read more

Well, I knew I picked a bad day to go car shopping, because we were in the middle of a hurricane, we ended up out there. I called this dealership from pretty far away to find out about the cost of a car I was interested in. Knowing how far we'd be driving, the dealer quoted me the sticker price. When I arrived at the dealership, I learned that they were asking $5000 over the sticker price. That was a very slimy version of bait and switch, especially on a day with such bad weather this dealership lost my business. read more

Great service and knowledge of vehicles. Noah was Terrific to work with, and I would highly recommend Both him and 1st Kia for your next car purchase. They are aware of the current market conditions, But are not taking advantage of people. I plan to go here for my next purchase as well. read more
