One phone call and done.    STAY AWAY FROM KIHEI AUTO SALES !!!
Greg S.

BUYER BEWARE: RUN, DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS. What should have been a simple, straightforward cash transaction turned into a huge fiasco, with one lie after another leading to two full days of wasted time. I live on Oahu but travel to Maui a couple of times a month. I began renting electric Chevy Bolts from Payless at the Kahalui airport, and I fell in love with the car. It was quick, sporty, and free of gas, oil, tune-ups, transmission issues, and potential expenses. So, I started looking for one to buy. That is when I found Kihei Auto Sales, and I wish to hell I had never stumbled across their name! I found Kihei Auto Sales on Facebook Marketplace, and they had the vehicle that I wanted. I had cash in hand--no credit necessary. Subsequently, I got passed off to a salesgirl (and I use that term very loosely) named Ahnanda, who seemed friendly and pleasant. She offered to send me the Carfax on the vehicle I wanted and some additional photos within minutes. This was a 2:00 p.m.Thursday. I waited and waited for the email from her because I had sent her an email, so all she had to do was reply to my email. Yet nothing came. At 6:15 p.m., I called Kihei and asked for Ahnanda, but I was told she had gone home for the day. I asked the guy on the phone if he could forward me the Carfax and photos, and he said that he didn't want to "get into her files." About 9:15 a.m. Friday morning, I called and spoke with Ahnanda, who told me that her work email was "glitchy" and that she had emailed me the stuff the evening before she left. However, she said that she was with a customer and was in the middle of getting their insurance paperwork, but she would get the stuff sent through her Gmail once that was done. At 10 a.m., she texted me asking me if I had received the stuff, and I said no. I never received it, so I sent her another email she could reply to. There would be no possible excuse for her having put in the wrong email address. At 11:05 a.m., I received the Carfax. No photos. At 11:43, she told me she was finishing up with a customer. She thanked me for my patience and told me she would call once they left. Keep in mind that I only needed to know how to pay my money to them to pay for the car in full. That's it. There was no bickering, stories, or credit checks. It was just a straightforward conversation to pay them over the phone or through Venmo or whatever. Nothing more was necessary. Now get this... at 1:10 p.m., she sends me a text message and says she is finished doing the insurance and will be calling me soon. Now we have wasted another 4 damn hours doing a customer's insurance paperwork? I call BS! That is when I started looking for another dealer because if they are too damn busy to make a simple call to a cash customer in 24 hours, then they are disrespectful of my time and don't deserve my hard-earned money. After never hearing back from Ahnanda, I sent her this text message @ 6:22 p.m. Friday evening: "This is two days in a row that you have left me hanging waiting on you. You screwed up my entire day! I've got cash in hand to buy a car, and I just wanted you to call me to tell me how you wanted me to get it to you. I don't know how the hell you stay in business treating cash customers this way! " She responded, trying to make it my fault and claiming that I never gave her respect. I have given you the conversation to this point, verbatim, but here's what she had the gall to reply to me: "I'm sorry you feel that way. I've been busy all day with customers and have communicated with you about it. We're a small family owned dealership on a small island. We only have 4 workers. I have to help the people that show up on the lot. I'll have my manager contact you tomorrow. I have treated you with nothing but respect. I wish I got the same back. Thanks." The conversation got ugly after that, and I told her and her boss where they could stick that vehicle. I can't put the language I used in this review, or it will get denied. I was uber pissed. She wasted two days of my life when I was trying to pay CASH for a car. She kept trying to message me after I told her twice never to contact me again, so I blocked her. I would bet money she kept messaging me, but I don't care. This morning at 11:00 a.m., I will pick up my Tesla from a dealer in Honolulu. I have attached a photo. They didn't seem to have a problem returning a phone call or taking my cash. BUYER BEWARE: RUN, DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS.

We recently bought a car from Frank. Not only did he give us an incredible deal, it was the easiest, non pressured experience ever. He was honest and fair, something you rarely see at car dealerships. Zalo who finished our paperwork was great too and a good conversationist. Dee in accounting was very nice and helpful with excellent customer service. We had to have some minor work done on the car a few weeks later and called Frank, who is now the sales manager-congrats and great for business, he was able to get us in and car fixed in just two days at a very reasonable cost. If you are looking for a vehicle, I highly recommend contacting Frank, he will not play games, he will listen, and he will make sure you are taken car of.

Aloha thank you, Byron!!

If you're looking for that feeling of Ohana ( that family owned and operated kind of customer service), then look no further than a Kihei Auto Sales! I was transferred here from the mainland renting a car for the first month. I went to Kia auto sales, and Byron made me feel like I was family. He encouraged me. He made the process simple and easy. He said he would even help, by giving me a loaner car until the car was buying was ready. ( Two days ) and even help me to return my rental car early -to save me money. I ended up getting the car in my dreams!! A car i wanted for 20 years!! I went looking for something more practical, but I did mention that I always wanted a Mercedes convertible.. Byron is such a good listener, and he really has a big heart he wants everyone's dreams to come true if he can help he will, and he knew that my head was telling me to go practical for my heart was telling me get what you want girl !!! I told him I would take it for a spin , so when I pulled in , Byron had it parked in the front ( with the top down) music bumping What a experience!! -it was love at first sight! I drove it and loved it, but I didn't wanna get too excited. I didn't know if I would be able to qualify for it. -but I did !!! and I I was so happy! and so grateful. that I went to Kihei Auto Sales 1st.. -my experience worked out better than I expected. When I walked in that day, I didn't know that was such a beautiful car like that that I wanted for so long , was even an option for me...but it turns out it was!! I highly recommend Kihei Auto Sakes to anyone and everyone. The entire team was nice and helpful, and just made it easy for start to finish. And by the way, they also own a quick oil, change place in Kahului that will happily service your vehicles. I'll be giving them my business there as well. - you should be careful what you wish for you just might get it!! #Grateful

20% interest rates. This place is a joke. Don't go here unless you absolutely have too. They will bleed you dry if you let them.

I purchased a 2 year old Honda Ridgeline from them in spring of 2019…read more Kendall was excellent on the phone. He was very responsive to all my questions and provided clear and fair pricing. I flew over from Oahu to complete the purchase. Kendall picked me up at the airport and allowed me to drive the truck I was buying to Kihei. The truck was good - just as Kendall described. He had sent me pictures of the two imperfections up close and there were no surprises. The paperwork was ready and exactly as we had discussed. They shipped the truck exactly as promised. Communication was excellent throughout the process. I would not hesitate to do business with them anytime.

I would like to start off by saying that I have bought and traded my cars with Karmart for the last…read more7 years. The sales people are persistent and can make hell of a deal. This review is for the Karmart service side of things. Karmart service does not answer the phone. You have to call them at least 6-10 times for them to pick up and this is a consistent issue over the years, and I learned why-- they have the phone ringer all the way down. I stood at the desk to turn in my keys and you can hear the faintest ring from the desk. There're all laughing and giggling talking about lunch in there so they can't hear it. Second I got a quote for over $1000 to replace TWO of my brake pads and rotors. They told me that it was dangerously low and I should leave it with them over night to fix it-- I said no because I felt like that price was outrageous. I proceeded to pick my car up and he tells me that he could offer me a discount of $200 and lower the price to $800 and some change. I still said no --I went right down the road to a mechanic and he quoted me $500 to change my TWO brake pads and rotors said he'd only need it for 1 hour -- vs karmart who told me they'd need it from open to close. $438 is what Karmart wanted for labor & $524 for "parts" the other mechanic said that that's a ridiculous price as my parts for my car costed him $300. Be warned that their parts department prices are outrageous and I will never use them now that my complementary services are done.
