My experience at Hilltop Kia was great. It was a very smooth process and almost all done before I even came to the lot. Mel was great in helping me get the exact car and model I wanted. Also a very cool person. See her when you're looking for your next Kia. :) read more

My second new vehicle I leased from Hilltop Kia. Moe helped me both times. Once back in 2019 and 2026. There is a reason he is still there. Moe is very knowledgeable of the vehicles, very straightforward and awesome sales customer service. Definitely recommend to See Moe at Hilltop Kia and I will get my 3rd car there. read more

This was our first time at a Kia dealership and first time Kia purchase. We were first helped by Mel who is wonderful. So friendly, accommodating, and applied no pressure. We came back later the same day after we decided to purchase the Carnival and were helped by Moe who was great and answered any remaining questions we had. We had a very smooth and pleasant experience at Hilltop Kia. We are so happy with our purchase! read more

Buying a KIA was never on my radar. I would base car buying on the reliability, practicality and price in the last 16 years. Those of which have happened to fall under a Toyota and GM (maybe i got lucky). i came across the EV9 and read/watched a lot of reviews for the car. Pros definitely seemed to outweigh some minor cons that in my research have since resolved. i have lots of neighbors near me that own a KiA and have no gripes with the car company. That said i have now begun my KIA experience with the EV9. I did all my investigation and buying online because i live in another city slightly out of the way. But this dealership on its own has probably the best advertised deals along with another bay area KIA The best way it could have gone for me was Hilltop KIA. My main man was Moe. Even though everyone there was very nice from what ive read. He is a straight shooter, very responsive and works hard to get the info you needs to you promptly so you can run your numbers/budget. He will do everything to give you a fair deal and i couldnt be happier with the results. no hassle, no markups, total transparency. Go with Moe, he will save you "moe" money. If you're looking for a KIA get it here, they have a huge selection and they even have a fun little play area for kids so you can do what you need to do while they are occupied. read more

5 Star Service from Mike. I was incredibly hesitant to buy from a dealership after having a stressful online car-buying experience recently, but I am so glad I walked in and connected with Mike. He told me to just write "Mike did a good job," but he deserves way more credit than that. Mike was genuinely kind-hearted, took the time to actually listen, and patiently answered every single one of my questions and concerns. He didn't pressure me at all, which made the whole process stress-free. If you're skeptical about traditional dealerships, go see Mike at Hilltop. He completely changed my perspective and made sure I walked out with the perfect vehicle. Extremely grateful and love my new ride! read more

If you're in the market for a Kia, I highly recommend this dealer. After contacting multiple Kia dealerships for pricing, Hilltop Kia didn't just have the most competitive prices I found, but Mel was amazing from the beginning: No fluff, no games. Buying a new car can be overwhelming, but Mel was completely professional and transparent with me from the get-go. My whole experience was second to none from my first contact with Mel to driving off the lot. If you go with Hilltop Kia, ask for Mel. She had my back and took care of me, and she'll do the same for you. Thanks again, Mel! read more

I had the best experience buying a new car with Hilltop Kia! Phil Cooper made the process easy and enjoyable. This was the best car buying experience I have had hands down! read more

This was the second time I have had a chance to work with Phillip Cooper, Internet Sales Manager, at Hilltop Kia. The first was when I helped a friend purchase a new vehicle in 2024 and recently I returned to purchase a new vehicle for myself. Phillip was transparent, attentive, and responsive. We worked together on the deal via text and email for a few days before I was able to come in. He was very patient and kind as we discussed my budget and came to the final numbers. I also enjoyed working with William Waheeb, Finance Manager. They both made the process joyful. Absolutely go to Hilltop Kia and skip trying to work with the other dealerships. No matter where you are in the Bay...it's worth the trip. read more

We are so happy with our new EV9! Moe was incredibly patient, helpful, and kept communication clear and easy throughout. After a tiring day of talking to multiple salespeople at other lots, our experience with Moe was hands-down the best. We never felt pushed or rushed. read more

I had an outstanding experience at Hilltop Kia in Richmond and wanted to share it because it was very different from the typical dealership experience. From the beginning, the entire team was incredibly collaborative and supportive. The owner Sid; sales managers and team: Leon, Sean, and Moe; and finance manager Garnett all played a role in making the process feel thoughtful and low-pressure. I asked a lot of questions and took several weeks to think through the decision. At no point did I feel pushed or rushed. Instead, the team checked in periodically, answered questions, and offered helpful solutions along the way while giving me the space to make the decision on my own timeline. When I was finally ready to move forward, they handled everything both thoroughly and efficiently. In past dealership experiences, the process has often felt long and tedious. This time was the opposite. Moe promised he would get me out the door quickly (which I requested) once we finalized the details, and he absolutely delivered on that promise. What stood out most was the tone of the negotiation. Rather than tightening the screws at every turn (which is what many people expect at a dealership), the team approached things from a place of fairness. A couple of times they even surprised me by proactively adjusting terms to make the deal feel balanced. Moe, who was my point person from start to finish took time after the deal was closed to help me see the car up, and really walk me through all of the features (Kia technology is amazing!). Overall, it was a refreshingly professional and respectful experience. If you're looking for a dealership that values transparency, patience, and treating customers like partners in the process, I would absolutely recommend Hilltop Kia and the team there. Thanks again Sid, Moe, Sean and Garnett! read more

Mike Amin was absolutely amazing to buy a new car from! After a terrible experience at Dublin Kia, we made the drive to Richmond (about one hour) to purchase our new Sportage this weekend. Mike set almost everything up for us ahead of time to avoid another stressful car buying situation. Everything went so smooth and Mike was very professional and energetic. It's very rare that most people would say they had a great experience buying a car but we absolutely did. Mike was 100% the reason why! Thank you so much Mike!! read more

My wife wanted a new EV CAR, so we went to Kia and talked to Christian and Mel ... Mel was very knowledgable about the cars and the technology that come with it .. Christian was great at showing us the different options of buying and or leasing ... the only guy that was not so good was the cheap guy who appraised our trade in and gave us so little ... that guy needs to find a new job he is no good ... But she is happy so im happy . And that's alll that matters read more

A fantastic experience! Our sales rep. Mike and the team were top notch and made it an efficient process. We initially made contact via their website and started the process from home. We had our two little kids with us to finalize and we were in and out within two hours. It was also helpful that they had a small area for the kids to entertain themselves. Hilltop Kia also had the best deals in the area. If you're interested in a Kia, I would 100% recommend them and our sales rep. Mike! read more

It was an absolute blessing doing business with Kia Hilltop. Mo was genuine and transparent which immediately garnered trust. He was quick to respond and overall a nice human being. Our sales associate Marlena was friendly and made the process easy and straightforward. She was sweet and never pushy which further made the process a breeze. I thank Mo and Marlene for getting us a gorgeous car that we are happy to take home. We will definitely be back. read more

Oral surgery? Buying a new car? Hard choice... When we contacted Hilltop Kia, we spoke to Moe in order to schedule a test-drive. When we arrived, they were expecting us and had the car we requested ready for a test drive. We met JC, Moe's partner who took us on a test drive, and answered ALL of our questions in regards to the Kia we were interested in. We told JC we were not ready to make a purchase at that time as we wanted to test drive other cars. JC understood and wished us well on our search. I was surprised to NOT get the "hard sell", which left a good feeling after leaving the lot. We tested other manufacturers, and decided to take another test drive at Hilltop Kia, this time requesting a specific car that they had listed in their inventory on their website. JC was there to greet us with the car we requested. After the second test drive, we let JC know that we liked the car, and were ready to make a purchase. We let JC know that we were not interested in any extended warranties, and would appreciate respect for that as we finalized the purchase. Prepared for battle, I was pleased that the purchase was completed respecting our wishes. William closed the financing aspect of the deal, and we left Hiltop Kia VERY satisfied with our experience read more

We had a great experience at Hilltop Kia. We were greeted by Mel when we walked in. We told her which vehicle that we were interested in and she took the time to explain the different trim options and features that were available and quickly set up a test drive. Mel was a pleasure to work with, super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and hospitable with no phony or pushy salesperson vibes. She treated us like we were family. I can honestly say this was the best car buying experience that I've ever had. The financing went smooth as well. Just an all around pleasant experience! Loving the new ride! read more

JC was kind, great communicator and made the sale easy! If you're in the market make sure to ask for him, he'll make you feel comfortable and confident about your purchase! read more

I am only adding any stars at all, because Marlena was an amazing sales agent and went above and beyond pulling up vehicles, data and pricing for us. She was honest, up front and worked hard. I think the sales manager could do better, or be replaced, by Marlena. Yep, I said it.. He started by working really hard at explaining Kia's GAP insurance and almost insisting we purchase it. We already knew what it was and had purchased it before. He then proceeded to offer us $5k less than what our car was worth and convince us that the only APR available was 7%. Then he bragged about his credit and his recent purchase. Not a good experience. Please consider replacing him! We ended up choosing another dealership that offered us top dollar for our trade-in. But if I was to buy a Kia Telluride, I'd ask for Marlena. read more
