Brandon has been incredibly helpful when working out the deal with us, where he did his best consistently to ensure they matched or bested the deal we got from other dealership, demonstrating how much he wants to help us get what was best for us. He was responsive and easygoing during the purchasing period and the transaction went without a hitch! We were so happy we got the deal completed so seamlessly. So in terms of the sales component, Island KIA definitely wants to treat you like family. We had an issue with the ceramic coating and Brandon went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of as best as possible. Highly recommend looking for Brandon to help you get the best deal possible, for he will definitely welcome you into the Island KIA family with open arms! Thank you Brandon, for taking care of my little family! read more

Brought our car in for a few issues. Ended up being bigger issues. It's a great car, so decided to bite the bullet and have the repairs done. Our service rep, Isuf Grajqevci kept us updated and helped us out so much. We've had the pleasure of dealing with Isuf before, so it's no surprise that he was his usual courteous self. He's knowledgeable, and tells it like it is. Isuf always gets me an Uber ride home. This time the car was going to be laid up a few extra days, so he arranged a loaner for us. This is the fourth KIA we've either purchased or leased from Island KIA. Always feel like we get a decent deal, but of course repairs are needed along the way. We feel fortunate to deal with Isuf for those occasions. Highly recommend dealing with Isuf Grajqevci, for any and all KIA service needs. read more

Just take your money elsewhere!! The service center has terrible customer service. They do not work well with insurance providers. Worker Collin and Manager Dante are very little help in directing you for help. This company takes extremely long to give cars back to customers for repair jobs, even with insurance being involved. read more

My experience at Island Kia was the best I have ever had. This was my third time buying a car but my first time there. Steve, Naz, and Mike were incredibly kind, patient, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Not only was my experience amazing, but I am also so happy with my purchase. They have gained a lifelong customer and someone who will always refer them to anyone looking for a new or used car. Thanks again, guys! Quality service, quality vehicle! read more

I originally went to bring my 2022 sorento in for service. I was waiting for my car, I decided to walk across the street to the dealer. I was looking at the new cars. I wasn't even planning on buying a new car. Brandon was great, he sold me a new car and I left the same day with it. read more

Horrible experience the worst car dealer and service on the island, i leased a kia forte with them 3 months ago and scheduled a multi point check for find out later that they did oil change and tire rotation which my car did NOT need. Just to get money! Don't trust them read more

I have purchased a few cars from island Kia and was always treated well. They are always very professional. The manager Steve Riccardone is a pleasure to deal with and just a nice guy. The salesman Nazar is also a very nice and respectful young man. I highly recommend this dealership. read more

1 Star - Beware of Dishonest and Unethical Practices I had an absolutely horrible experience at Kia Staten Island, primarily due to George, the finance and sales manager, and Brandon, the salesman. Their behavior was unethical, condescending, and incredibly unprofessional. They use deceptive tactics to pressure customers and misrepresent terms, all while speaking down to you in a way that's both rude and dismissive. These two individuals are nothing short of scammers. I'm sharing this to warn others--do NOT do business with them. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, go elsewhere. There are plenty of dealerships that treat customers with fairness and respect. This is not one of them.. read more

Bought a 2024 kia seltos there .Brought it in for service .My wife mentioned to mechanic about awd and 4wd light on dash . Mechanic did nothing to fix it . Going to have to bring car in again . Wondering if this is a problem with this make and year . I will keep all posted on how this issue is handled car has less than 10k on it . Should be covered. read more

So my lease was almost at an end and I needed to either buy it out or lease another car. I came to Island Kia and I'm very happy I did! It has such a different feel then any of the dealerships in Brooklyn, like your with friends. I checked out different cars not only Kia. Wonderful people to work with. The place is clean and everyone is genuinely friendly. I say that because let's face it, it's their business to sell cars. I got a good feel here and had Jimmy for my salesman. Even if I wasn't buying a car the entertainment alone was worth my time. However he's knowledgeable and answered any questions we had honestly. This is not my first rodeo, I own cars for 50 years. The manager was a great guy and he and Jimmy worked together to get me a payment I could live with. Everything was taken care of from transferring my plates, insurance, everything! I drove out in a brand new Kia Sportage and didn't have to do a thing. Plus I love Kia, they make an excellent vehicle and give you a lot for the money. Go to island Kia and get your next car! read more

Island Kia - Kia sportage - Car Dealers Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I don't know what's wrong with the workers in the service department. The wait time is ridiculously long, I observed them talking amongst themselves instead of helping customers and at least one of them was not wearing her mask properly....The service used to be much better read more

Just want to say what a great experience I had with Jimmy, after visiting another Kia dealership. He was upfront from the beginning and listened to my concerns. He even got me a better deal on insurance. Jimmy made sure I was cared for and made me feel important. then George helped finish the deal so I can drive my new 2024 k5 home. Then Jimmy came back to show me how to set up the car's features which was a great touch. Thanks again for your patience. read more

Been a KIA customer for over 5 yrs- this is 4th lease at Island KIA with James Greco. Jimmy always easy to work with, no false BS gives you his complete attention. Treats his customers with respect and like he knows you for years. KIA lucky to have him. Start to finish his full attentio. James Greco has picked up the phone EVERY time I call him. ( and. I call a lot lol)NOW that's a great salesman. Again, thanks Jimmy and Island Kia read more

The service center is abysmal. They look to prey on individuals who know nothing about cars by pushing unnecessary services and claiming in-warranty issues are not covered. Stay far away. read more

James Greco was our sales person and he has what I can only describe as a Michael Scott-like enthusiasm for his job. He was pretty knowledgeable, gave us his cellphone and took deliberate pains on our car to be ready. He even amused us with a few impersonations while we waited. read more

I leased once and lost me when the manager was rude. Arrogant! I was surprised to see this kind of behavior from a manager that said he was there 20 yrs. read more

I give this no stars because of an incident I had there 2 weeks ago. ( I can't seem to erase the one star that came on accidentally) With this said , when this was Mandredi I never had a problem. My family has owned hyundais and Kias for 14 years and this would keep me from getting another since I never want to go back to this place! I had a dead battery due to a wiring short in the rear view mirror. The wiring was covered under warantee but the battery wasn't due to it being over the 24,000/2 year battery warantee. This is a catch 22 here. If I never had a wiring problem my battery would be fine! I paid but later that day took it up with the service rep who was a bit snippy and said he'd discuss it with his supervisor and get back. It's been 2 weeks and still haven't heard back from him even after I attempted many calls. I started a case with the corporate office and now THEY say island kia won't return their calls!!!!! This isn't a way to treat any customer whether they are long time Hyundai / kia owners like me or not. I'm done with them. read more

I stopped into this dealership with my stepfather at the end of March. I was greeted by a gentlemen Vincent Macaluso. He was upfront, honest, professional and knowledgeable. I couldn't ask for a more well rounded individual to converse with on leasing a new vehicle. He was patient and listened to my concerns and was able to work out a good deal even after having some issues with the loan company. His manager was able to be of some assistance as well and got some discounts for military service. I've had the car for about two weeks now and enjoy it very much. Vincent took me for a test drive and provided me with the needed information for the 2018 Kia Forte Sport and answered all my questions. Vincent was busy doing different things and still was very nice and easy to converse with. I'll be coming back here when my lease is up in 3-4 years and hope to do business with him again. I think he may be a manager by then or perhaps in an even better position. I'm just happy he was able to find me a great car for a fair deal even factoring in my credit history and income. Thank you again Vincent Malaluso and good luck with everything in the future. read more

BEWARE BEWARE !!!!!! I leased a Kia Optima got into an accident, I needed a front headlight. My car was in the shop for three months as I waited for the part. After numerous calls to Kia Customer Care and given wrong information regarding the part was still not in. I spoke to Chris from escalations Department and he basically told me there were no headlights in the U.S. and one was ordered from Korea. I did not realize Kia makes you wait so long for parts. This is a inventory and customer service problem not the dealer. read more

Hello. My name is kook Cho. I had a terrible experience at your dealership yesterday. When I called in the morning, the car I wanted was in stock and the internet quote was the price we were buying, and so I made a reservation and visited at 2pm. The store was slow and the staff was there but no one wanted to talk to us. Eventually we contacted the salesperson. But this salesman sat at his desk, looked at his laptop and cell phone, and answered us with an annoyed and angry faces. "He must have had an annoying situation to deal with" is what I thought to myself. The car we wanted was out of stock and the internet quote was an advertisement, so don't bother him anymore. And he didn't tell us any more. I truly believe this dealer does not want to sell the cars. I can't understand why you did such a hard and annoying thing to me and my son. We were customers who wanted to buy a car. Is it because we are Asian? I've been to a few dealerships in the US, but I've never had such an unpleasant and annoying experience. We don't want to buy a car here anymore, so we just left. I'm Korean, so I went to buy a Korean car, but I'm still angry about why I'm being treated like this. read more

We have a brand new lease. 1,800 miles on the car. The car stalled while going down Rockland Ave. Thank God my husband had the brain to put it neutral and try to restart it. After parking once we got to our destination the car wouldn't start again! We got it towed to Island Kia. they said it was "bad gas."... from Costco! We pay to get it fixed.... it just happened again!!!!! I wonder if it's bad gas again? read more

Best day of buying a car I ever experienced. They really roll out the red carpet for you. First we were kindly greeted by Vinny who sat us down with another Vinny who was also terrific. Vinny took his time with me and my dad to make sure he covered everything we needed to buy the best car. Then when it came time to financing we sat with Mike who also took the time to make sure we understood everything about the financing agreement. Will definitely come back for future car purchases! read more

I tried calling the number this manager Jess B. listed and I got put on hold numerous times. No one even knew who Jess was. I spent a half hour trying to get to a Jess which was a total waste of my time. Why give a general number here on yelp and no one even knows who you are. I got transferred to the sales dept., then the service department. No one seemed to have a clue. Thanks for asking me to call on a general number which turned out to be a total waste of time. Some customer service. read more

I was here on Saturday to purchase a used vehicle, online price was listed at 7,900. After looking things over and agreeing on a deal I was sent to the finance manager where I signed the deal not realizing they jacked the price up from the original offer sheet. BE CAREFUL THEY ARE THIEVES, They stole $3,400 from me!! Make sure to re-read everything they got me with the old bait and switch or better yet do your car shopping elsewhere! read more

Island Kia - Advertised And agreed on at $7,948. After the bait and switch they jacked it up to $8,948 and threw on $2,400 on bogus dealer costs. SCAM! - Car Dealers Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I had a little problem at first with the customer services, but the Service Team, especially, Dante, made my experience flawless. My vehicle was provided an excellent service in almost no time! They even fixed the horn and changed the oil free of charge! Really nice people. Thank you so much for a great job, Dante! You guys are great! AAAA++++ read more

Just got a new lease on an SUV. Very happy. I had Vincent Macaluso as my salesman. Second time got that, specifically went back to him. No pressure, knows his stuff. Excellent. read more

horrible experience. I called and confirmed twice whether there are any other hidden charges and specifically if there were any "Dealership fees" which they said no to. Had a long commute and in the end after making me wait for an hour, told me that in addition to the Car price there is a 1295$ dealership fee (Again...i specifically asked about this twice before going) - The finance manager there was extremely rude and said it was the sales rep who talked to us and they don't know what they are talking about! (which makes no sense whatsoever) read more

If and when I need a new car and decide to go with the Kia, I would go back to Island Kia and specifically speak with Vincent Malcauso. Bought the 2019 Kia Rio. Vincent was knowledgeable and courteous and made the process easy. One criticism is that the sales rep I was supposed to meet never showed up and the car I was to test drive wasn't ready, but Vincent went out of his way to help me. Annoying, but like I said, I would go back in a heartbeat. Car is great and I couldn't be happier. I saw a complaint about parking below. While there is no parking lot, I had no problem finding parking around the corner. read more

We just bought our 2nd Kia Sorento from Krystal! She is a great saleswoman. She was able to answer any questions or concerns I have. Usually, I hate dealing with any car dealerships...but not Island Kia! All of their staff is friendly and helpful. If you need a car, ask for Krystal!! You won't be disappointed! read more

Best car buying experience ever!! I purchased my car a few months ago. Krystal B was professional, honest and courteous every step of the way. They worked with my budget and offered support for any of my needs in the future. I would definitely recommend Island and Krystal for a great car buying experience. read more

Firstly, it was a right choice to visit Island Kia, where I had a very satisfactory experience shopping my Kia Optima. Especially, my sales person "Ricardo Cabanez" was a very professional that I dont even need to menthion how he is super friendly and knowledgable on the cars. While I really had a tight budget due to extensive student loans and had a little bit of information on the cars, he super kindly made my dreams come true driving Kia Optima back home only after my second visit. It only couldnt be the first day because of my auto insurance, which Ricardo also helped me finding a better insurance company with better price. He is still following me up regularly if everything is well and if I have any question on vehicle. read more

Rita did a lease return and sold me on the 2017 kia cadenza SXL. It was a pleasure working with her and her team and I look forward to buying again with Rita. read more

I had nothing but a positive experience at Island Kia! Normally buying or leasing a car is a dreaded chore but both Vincent Crispino the sales manager and Vincent Macaluso my sales person were wonderful to work with! The process went so smoothly and it was a pleasure to spend time there. They even took care of everything pertaining to the lease I was returning which wasn't even a Kia I so appreciate the help with that it made the whole process even easier and less stressful! The showroom is clean and beautiful with so many Of the various Kia models to look at and sit in. Myself and my family were immediately greeted upon entering the dealership by the friendly staff. Upon sitting down we were each offered a bottle of water prior to even talking about anything. The car I was interested in (2018 Kia Sportage) was ready and waiting and beautifully detailed in the showroom upon my arrival (I had spoken to them over the phone since I live an hour away and told them what I was interested in). Both gentleman were well versed in all the Kia Models and everything was explained to me in depth. The car had so many more "toys" and features than I was not used to and Mr. Macaluso sat with me in the car for quite some time explaining and demonstrating every feature! He made sure my phone was hooked up through the Bluetooth and even walked me around the car explaining and demonstrating all the outside features! I was both impressed and grateful for all the time he took to make sure I was completely comfortable. He also said he would contact me sporadically to make sure I am happy with the car. Both Vincent's made sure I was comfortable with everything prior to my signing any paperwork and before I drove off with my new car. I was given each of their numbers and told to call anytime with any questions. They have already followed up with thank you texts and informational emails! I am beyond satisfied with my experience at Island Kia and LOVE my new Kia Sportage! I would recommend anyone to go see the staff at Island Kia! THANK YOU to the Vincent's and all the staff at Island Kia! read more
