9 minutes ago New Extremely disappointing experience with Mark Kia. It has been over two weeks since I purchased my vehicle, and I still do not have possession of it or a clear status on when it will be completed. I have spent 12+ hours at the dealership attempting to resolve these issues, along with unanswered calls, emails, and repeated attempts to get updates. I have been left in the dark throughout much of this process and have received inconsistent or misleading information. I was also promised a rental vehicle, which was never provided, and no meaningful attempt has been made to assist me with alternative transportation. What makes this situation even more concerning is that I have never been able to properly drive the vehicle beyond the surrounding side streets. On multiple visits, the vehicle has either been blocked in or otherwise unavailable to drive. I still have not had the opportunity to inspect the completed body work, which I was assured would be repaired to a factory-quality standard. The current dispute is over the tires. After purchasing the vehicle, the dealership confirmed in writing via text that the tires would be replaced with the same tires the vehicle was purchased with. I was later told they had already spent too much getting the vehicle "safe" to provide those tires. The store manager ultimately told me to hire an attorney if I wanted them to honor that commitment. I am not asking to cancel or unwind the transaction. I simply want the vehicle I purchased, with the agreed tires and the work completed as promised. My loan has already been fully funded, the dealership has been paid, and I am accruing interest on a vehicle I still do not have. At this point, it feels as though once the dealership received its money, the urgency to complete the vehicle and communicate with me disappeared. I have made repeated good-faith attempts to resolve this directly. I simply want Mark Kia to honor what was agreed upon and deliver the vehicle I purchased.

$50,000 purchase with water spots alllllll over the vehicle. Mark Kia sold us a vehicle with water spots on the entire vehicle. As anyone knows, you cannot see water spots at first glance. It takes different shades of light or angles to hit the vehicle to reveal the water spots. Also, when you purchase a brand new vehicle, you trust the dealership does not sell you a vehicle with water spots all over it. I reached out to our sales person, who I won't name, because I do give him a good review and two other people reached out to me. Shane reached out to me but stopped answering. Then Brian, the general sales manager, also reached out to me. As he did explain other issues we had with the dealership and cleared those up, he did not provide a resolution for us for the water spots. He first said we should get the brand new vehicle acid washed, which he claimed is $75-100. After doing some research and talking to multiple car detailers, they told me they would definitely not acid wash a brand new vehicle. I would not leave a bad review over a $75 fix, trust me. This may be my first bad review I have ever given. I called 5 local detail shops. The average price to remove the water spots average around $400-500. I was told by Brian the 5 detail shops I called over charging me. Could they have? Maybe? But I got an average price to better show Brian what the water spots were going to cost to fix it. We did buy the vehicle 2 months ago and I did try myself to remove the water spots multiple times. I was giving the car dealership the benefit of the doubt in not contacting them and trying to remove the water spots myself. I did remove some, but the majority did not come off after around 5 attempts. We do live 363 miles away from the dealership, so taking it to the dealership is not an option (out of town buyers especially beware of this dealership). Brian offered to pay for my gas and to take the vehicle and add 726 more miles on the vehicle to fix the water spots. We could not come to a resolution to fix the water spots or to provide an accessory to recoup the cost and time the water spots have caused. So we bought a $50,000 vehicle with water spots which Brian admitted to having extremely hard water in Scottsdale. Buyers beware. This is a big dealership. The dealership doesn't offer better deals. I regret going here and should've bought the same vehicle in Tucson. Out of town buyers, especially beware. This is a numbers dealership. They see you as a number and a sale, nothing else. I would not leave a bad review if this was a simple, easy, cheap fix. I also would not leave a review if it was an item that was cheap. I have had many dealings with many dealerships and this is the first dealership I would not recommend. In all reality, this review may not even affect them. I do hope this allows others to see the way they conduct business and to be wary of choosing them to purchase a vehicle. As I see on yelp, this business has a horrible track record. Stay away.

My experience with **Mark Kia** began on a hopeful note--helping my girlfriend purchase a vehicle--and ended as a lesson in how a simple transaction can become unnecessarily complicated. We arrived Saturday around 3:30 PM and were told, for the first time, the vehicle was being detailed. Our salesperson, John, was friendly and professional. We test drove the car for 20-30 minutes, agreed on price, and were assured that although the dealership was "busy," finance wouldn't take long. "Not long" turned into roughly ninety minutes. Once we mentioned our three-hour drive home and firm 6:30 PM departure, finance became available almost immediately. At the same time, the vehicle disappeared and we were told--again--it was being detailed. We were also each separately promised a complimentary full tank of gas. In finance, Brock informed us that AZOne--where we had a guaranteed 6.8% pre-approval--was "a terrible company to deal with," and that the finance department receives certain "credits" for placing loans with other lenders. He offered to search for a better rate. We made it clear we were open to alternatives, provided the rate was the same or lower than 6.8%. Pressed for time, we left a $7,500 down payment and were allowed to take the vehicle with paperwork to follow. We were told it was ready and filled with gas. The dashboard showed 41 miles to empty. When I attempted to address this, both John and Brock were unavailable, so I advised the receptionist we would cover the fuel ourselves. Sunday passed with no communication. Late Monday (Presidents Day), my girlfriend received a call stating they had "tried everyone" and secured the best possible rate: 7.8%, described as "just $11 more per month"--roughly $900 over the life of the loan. There was no indication AZOne had been contacted. We were simply told paperwork would be sent. When I called to question why a higher rate was being presented despite documented pre-approval, the response was defensive. We were told letters like ours are "not a guarantee" and that rates "always go up" once submitted. I suggested waiting until Tuesday, when AZOne reopened, to verify the rate directly. This was treated as unreasonable. We were reminded the dealership had a vehicle off the lot "with no contract," and that letting us leave with $7,500 down had been a significant favor. A sales manager later called to "calm the situation." When I asked why waiting one business day to verify our lender's rate had not even been offered--especially since we had agreed to alternative financing if equal or lower--the response was silence. The next morning we contacted AZOne ourselves. They confirmed the approval, reduced the rate to 6.4%, and offered to contact the dealership directly. That level of cooperation was refreshing. We also relayed the comments made about their institution; while they declined to criticize anyone, it was clear this was not unfamiliar territory. Since then, communication from **Mark Kia** has been nonexistent. Calls to finance, sales, and management have gone unanswered. The sales staff was personable. The handling of financing, however, raises serious concerns about transparency and incentives. Presenting a higher rate while discouraging the lender we arrived with--without verifying their terms--does not appear to be a simple oversight. When similar complaints appear repeatedly in public reviews, it suggests a pattern rather than coincidence. Buyers would be wise to verify financing directly with their lender and approach the finance office carefully. Finally, to Brian Slack: I have seen your public responses inviting dissatisfied customers to call you. I did--multiple times. I left a voicemail and a message with reception. I also called to confirm financing had been completed independently. There was no return call. If you remain concerned, you have my number. Very disappointing experience.

I am very excited to share my experience with the Mark Kia service and sales departments. It was my first visit yesterday, and Brandi and Josh met me at the door, warmly welcoming me to Mark Kia and sharing all the great things they do for their customers there. They were quick to guide me in the right direction, helping me identify my service needs and address my interest in sales. While I waited for my service to be completed, Josh politely introduced me to Jacob in the sales department. Jacob was very easy to talk to, and I was so happy to have established a relationship with him as we discussed my interest in their massive EV inventory. I almost felt like the little kid at Brewster's ice cream parlor--so many flavors, so many options--I had never seen this many electric vehicles on a sales lot. Even their website was up to date and filled with all the fantastic EV details I had hoped for! I must mention that the staff I observed genuinely seemed to have time for the customers. My experience with Brandi, Josh, and Jacob was beyond exceptional! How refreshing to have this level of dealership support. Very kind and caring regarding all my concerns. My family and I have owned a variety of Kia vehicles, and until recently, I had the opportunity to have my Kia serviced near my home in North Phoenix. My family in SLC, UT, and my family in St Louis, MO, also own multiple Kia vehicles. I often shared my dealership experience with them. Once the dealership near my home finished with its remodel, to be polite, nothing really felt the same after the store changed hands. I was actually nervous about what I would say to my wife and family members now that I was facing a decision to change dealerships. All the good vibes I experienced in North Phoenix are only a memory now. Thanks to my KiaConnect App, I was able to locate another dealership thirty minutes from home. With my willingness to drive to Mark Kia, I avoided another dealership setting that seemed much too busy or just uncaring, even though I had been a customer who happily wore the Kia "Jersey" over many years. I will return to Mark Kia Service today for the maintenance required for my Kia EV6. How grateful I am that I took the time to go out of my way. Just a 30-minute drive and I was beyond satisfied. They are definitely worth the effort. BTW, even their waiting area was more than sufficient and definitely more than the previous Kia dealership offered. So thank you to Brandi, Josh, and Jacob for an excellent experience, one that I am taking pleasure in reviewing and sharing with the world of Google. Thanks for being real and true to all that I had hoped to find again in my dealership experience. Today, when you buy a vehicle, it's ideal to build a relationship with your dealership because that's where the magic happens before and long after the sale. All the best Roger. read more

Hailey who works here was driving and on her phone almost ran me over! Thank god the Tesla had the self driving and it stopped for her. She started cussing me out and tried to fight me! I told her to leave me alone and stop cussing me out that she was in her work place! The manager made her apologize and I told her I didn't accept her apology she got mad and stomped away. Other than her, great employees, I hope she gets fired. She almost MURDERED ME!! I bought a Kia a month ago from Kia Dealership. Great cars, but that woman is a terrible unprofessional, murderer!!! read more
I had the pleasure of working with Jacob, who helped me find the perfect car. What really set this dealership apart happened when I came back to have my windows tinted. I had just finished working a graveyard shift, and unfortunately, it was the only time I could bring my car in. I was completely exhausted and tried to find somewhere to sleep just a little. Edward one of the managers noticed me and kindly offered to show me to a quiet area with comfortable chairs where I could actually get some sleep while I waited. On top of that, he was able to expedite the tinting process so I could get home sooner. However one negative about this place is that if you want a free tank of gas you have to give them a 10/10 and will keep on spamming your phone until you do it. read more

Called after hearing Mark Kia has the best deals. Jasmine Harris Luna set everything up. Dan Snider was awesome and showed me the perfect Sportage. Kameron Hutterly made me a deal on my trade and Manny Ramirez got my interest rate down. Couldn't be happier! Dan Snider's my new car guy. read more

Do not buy a car here. I cannot stress that enough. I bought a car from this place a month and a half ago. Two days after driving it off the lot, it started having issues. I brought it in, they scheduled an appointment for two days later, handed me a loaner, and sent me on my way like everything was handled. That was over 2.5 weeks ago. My car has not been looked at. I still have no idea what's wrong with it, what's being fixed, or when I'll get it back. In the meantime I've called, texted, and emailed this dealership more times than I can count. Sales passed me off. A manager got looped in and did nothing. I was told to contact Brian Slack directly, so I did, and got silence. Every person who's touched this has dropped the ball, and not one of them has had the basic decency to give me a straight answer about my own vehicle that I am currently paying for while it sits untouched. I also bought their warranty. What a joke. It hasn't gotten me a single phone call back, let alone a repair. This isn't bad luck or one lazy employee. This is a dealership that takes your money, hands you a car with problems, and then disappears the second you need them to actually stand behind what they sold you. If you're reading this before buying here, take it as your warning. Go anywhere else. read more

1/5 -- A remarkable failure of communication and inventory management We made a 1:00pm appointment to test-drive a specific Tesla Model Y at Mark Kia and received written confirmation that the vehicle would be ready and waiting for us. We made the trip to Scottsdale based on that confirmation. When we arrived, the car was nowhere to be found. We were eventually told that it had been taken to another dealership within the group's shared inventory and was currently being shown to another customer. Only then were we informed that, despite our confirmed appointment and the written assurance that the vehicle would be ready for us, Mark Kia considers a vehicle available to other customers unless a deposit has been placed. That policy is perfectly reasonable. Failing to disclose it when confirming an appointment and telling a customer the car will be ready and waiting is not. Had we been told that a deposit was required to hold the vehicle, we could have made an informed decision before driving to Scottsdale. But it gets worse. We waited while Mark Kia retrieved the Tesla from the neighboring dealership. Eventually our salesperson arrived with the vehicle and the keys. We got into the car, settled ourselves in and were literally about to leave for our test drive. Then his phone rang. Management was calling to tell him the car had been sold. Think about that for a moment. Their internal communication was so poor that they retrieved the vehicle, brought it back to the dealership, handed us the keys and put us in the driver's seat for a test drive before anyone managed to tell their own salesperson that the vehicle had been sold. To be absolutely clear: our salesperson was courteous, professional and as blindsided by this as we were. This review is not a criticism of him. He did the best he could with an embarrassing situation created around him. This is a criticism of Mark Kia's management, communication and inventory-control process. Ironically, after leaving we discovered Mark Kia had another comparable used Model Y advertised at a similar price. Nobody thought to mention it to us. We were actively shopping for a vehicle and prepared to buy the right one. Instead, Mark Kia demonstrated exactly why customers should approach a transaction here with extreme caution. One star only because Rene, our salesperson deserved better from his dealership, and so did we. read more

***********ATTENTION LADIES!!! ********** My daughter just bought a car from this location. Now, I have been in sales more than half of my life, but from what she just told me... I thought a review just might be "warranted". She is a much kinder person than myself, so here we go. She was told that buying a warranty is what keeps that place going and it "really helps them out." Then she was presented with option 1 and option 2. She told the sales guy she did not need either. His response, "You need it, you just don't want it. Don't come back in the next 2 days if anything goes wrong." I AM SORRY...WHAT?! She said she almost stood up and walked out. Personally, I wish she would have. I understand that sales can be brutal, but that sounds like a grown man having a hissy fit because he did not get a sale. He remained quite frigid for the rest of the time. Is this the way MARK KIA salesmen speak to women when no one else is around?? Or any dealership, for that matter! It is 2026!! Are you so insecure that intimidation, guilt, and threats are your go to?? She would not tell me his name. (See. Much nicer.) Only the first letter. "D". All I could get was that and he is bald with an office at the end of the hall. As a father, and a decent human being, I will NOT be referring anyone to this place!! True and secure men, PLEASE do not allow this behavior to happen to ANY person in your life. Absolute trash. Funny how the "newest reviews" on thier website are all 5 stars. Not ALL new ones are shown. read more
Purchased a 2025 Carnival near the end of 2025 and there were a handful of dings, scapes and weathered cosmetics. They offered to take care of it free of charge but that should be the standard. Their sales manager is full of shii and they are just looking to milk every buyer for every dollar they can get. You might say that's the case with every car dealership but I've walked into other lots where the salesman wasn't money-hungry and very respectful. This place was not it. Would not recommend Mark Kia to my worst enemy. If you want a Kia, go to another dealer please. read more

$50,000 purchase with water spots alllllll over the vehicle. Mark Kia sold us a vehicle with water spots on the entire vehicle. As anyone knows, you cannot see water spots at first glance.

Cori Majersin is awesome! Service is always super thorough and thoughtful! Response times are quick and she's really communicative.
On the hunt for a new car, we stopped by this dealership on a Sunday afternoon... Our visit started out great with someone offering to help us right when we walked in the door. We looked at a couple of 2025 Kia Tellurides, were given cold bottles of water, and then when we asked our associate if we could see a particular model, he said no problem and that he'd be right back. Well, we waited and waited and waited - probably about 20 minutes. When he still wasn't back, I went to the front desk to ask for his business card and the lady sitting there acted like I was annoying her from her texting on her phone... I explained our situation and learned that she didn't even know who our associate was. Someone else then stepped in and said he was "the new guy," but didn't offer to help us out much either. Needless to say, that experience ended up not being the best. We're doing our research, but not sure we'll be back as there are plenty of other places that likely provide a better customer experience and that does come into play when making a big decision like the purchase of a new car! read more

I've never had a dealership so uninterested in trying to sell me a car. I'm very irritated so I'll keep it brief. Someone from this Mark Kia location started texting me about a car I was interested in. They told me they would work it out with me if I went in for a test drive after I expressed some concerns. I agreed and replied right away asking if I could go in that day or the day after. And that was it. Never got a reply. 6 hours later the car in question was gone from all the sites it was previously on. Not a single explanation. Not a "sorry we sold that, but we have other cars you may be interested in" Nothing. It's extremely unprofessional to say the least. No wonder they have so many bad reviews on yelp. Give another dealership your money. These guys have different priorities. read more

Do not buy from them. They are scam artists. I bought a warranty on a used Mustang and they said to cancel it just needed to call the advisor and I could do it anytime. It's been months of no contact. No one will reach out. One big run around and I sold the car with three years remaining. They are complete liars and the three people I have on email just stopped responding. Go somewhere else. read more

I love Mark KIA! Cori was the service writer and had my Seltos, quickly serviced,, alerting me that two tires failed the safety check. Also, one of the visors was missing a retention clip. To my surprise the visor repair was covered by warranty! The Seltos is standing taller with two new 'shoes' and the visor is no longer flapping in the breeze. FIVE STARS PLUS. Thanks, Cori, for the swift, competent and friendly service. I also appreciate the use of the loaner car--1000%!! V/R, David Stephensen read more

Thomas created such an incredible experience for us at Mark Kia! He was never pushy, answered questions honestly, and even asked us questions to truly take a consultative approach to helping us find the right vehicle. He took time to get to know us personally and always acted with the upmost professionalism. Couldn't recommend him enough to make this daunting process more seamless! Also shoutout to Max in finance for breaking down numbers easily and making sure we felt confident through every step. 10/10 going to be seeing these guys every time it's time for a new car. read more

Great experience with Rene helping us out with our new Telluride, and we are really happy with it. I'm very impressed how far Kia has come and the X-series of the Telluride with black trim would look like a Range Rover with some new wheels which is what we plan on doing. Highly recommend checking them out. read more

One of the best buying experiences I've ever had over many years. I've bought and owned 115 cars in my life and I have to say that "Moody" took great care of me and ensured that everything was taken care of. I was very impressed and so much so I had a good friend of mine buy a car from them also. The car was a used Seltos 2024 X-Line and I love the way this car drives. They did a 165 point inspection on the car to ensure everything was good and the car still has a premium warranty and powertrain warranty on the car. Kia has awesome warranties. Their service department was excellent to deal with and Cody took great care of me and had the car washed prior to pick up Highly recommend Mark Kia read more

Stay away from this place they advertise a pre owned certified car with full warranty they charge 998.00 DOC FEE We where ready to head to the bank and get a certified check to purchase the car. The sales guy telling us that it is fully warranty for 100k miles and 5 years regular BUT AFTER more questioning about why it only comes with 1 key which all certified vehicles come with 2 keys also per KIA Corp all certified come with 2 keys . So I said I will take the vehicle if you throw in the 2nd key and come down with a cashier check. But then the sales guy texting me saying it's not a certified car and you will only get one key ! Then he says so when are you coming down with the check. WTF ARE YOU KIDDING can you imagine if I didn't ask for a key bought the vehicle not knowing we didn't have any warranty MARK KIA IS scamming people into buying cars with false warranty.

Went in tonight to test drive a vehicle and look at trading in my husband's vehicle. Thomas was great at helping us look at the vehicle we walked in to see. Upon the trade-in inspection, Shane drove our vehicle alone to provide us a trade value and damaged the steering wheel. When we brought it up to him, he denied it saying it was like that already, even though Thomas had also just driven it while we were with him and he confirmed it was fine and not damaged. Since we are now looking at other places to trade our vehicle at, we now have to fix the damages or possibly let it impact our trade-in value. If you're going here, please beware of them taking your vehicle to do a test drive without you. read more

I was overcharged about $5,200.00 that got conveniently buried in the "deal" by Mark Kia on January 18 and was told the amount would be refunded. After multiple attempts over several weeks to resolve the issue directly with the dealership, the full refund was not issued and no clear resolution was provided. I ultimately had to send a formal demand letter to get action. The dealership returned the money on April 10--less than 24 hours before I was prepared to file in small claims court. While the issue was eventually corrected, it required significant time, follow-up, and legal pressure to recover money that should have been refunded promptly. I would strongly encourage others to carefully review their paperwork and be prepared to follow up persistently if any discrepancies arise. Ask to see the itemization before you sign. Check your purchase price, interest and term length against what they show as that is where you will find their dishonesty. read more
Gosh, where do I begin. I held off on writing this review for 3 months hoping that things would have turned for the better, but until now, I am still dealing with surprises from the purchase of my car from this dealership. Shame on me for loving my new car so much that I didn't want other people to buy it before me, so I didn't get all the paperwork collected as record before I bought the car (including the paperwork that made this a certified vehicle). I'm still bitter about the experience, and how much stuff I have to find out and call for on my own after the fact. To sum it up and not to bore fellow Yelpers with a novel, I am going to say this: stay away from the Sales side (they made me feel small), but 5-Stars are well deserved for the Service side (treated me like a queen). read more

The good: I like my 2023 soul overall. The bad: quality control on some things seems mid, case in point: I use to drive a number of Kia vehicles for work; the "next track" button is up on about half and down on half. On my car you push down to go to the next track. The ugly: during the first year of ownership the driver's control for one of the pax windows would intermittently stop working. When I showed up at this dealer they basically told me if it's not consistent they can't help. Thankfully it went away. Hopefully forever. The finance experience was a real pulling teeth sort of experience. From advertising an apr then giving me the rigamarole about which model I wanted and how I had to buy the "kitchen sink" to get the advertised rate, it was just unpleasant. When I was in position to cancel part of the "kitchen sink" and cancel the gap and key polices I never got my requested itemized statement with the refund. For all I know they cancelled my extended warranty too based on a suspiciously large refund check. The last straw today: I visited them for a second opinion on my cars ac fan and the intermittent buzzing I've tried to have fixed twice at a closer Kia dealer. Joshua Lee: congratulations I'm sorry. That you're under so much pressure that you can't just say, "leave it with us we'll get it figured out", but have to set the expectation bar so dismally low up front that I gaslight myself into saying "f it". Just wow. Hopefully this "intermittent issue" will stay minimal or go away on its own too. But I doubt it. It presented around the corners leaving "your pleasure of meeting me" The chances of me buying another Kia are not zero but they're very very close to. read more

Went in to ask pricing and test a particular Tesla. Salesman brought the car up to test drive and proceeded to inform me the car had a flat tire. Salesman proceeded to put air in the tire and said he hoped it didn't go flat on the test drive. When we returned, the salesman proceeded to tell us that Mark Kia doesn't negotiate because they have the best price possible!! NOT TRUE!!! The assistant manager came and offered us free oil changes for the life of the car,, ( Teslas don't need oil changes) I think he thought it was funny but it was pretty insulting considering I've been in the auto industry before which I conveyed earlier! Manager basically told us he wasn't interested in the price negotiation discussion! I guess he wasn't interested in selling a car and was acting like a pompous punk, with zero respect for someone buying a car for tens of thousands of dollars!!!! I wouldn't recommend this dealership to anyone serious about buying a car!! The Assistant manager shouldn't be in this industry,,, I speak from many years of experience in this industry and purchasing many cars over 50+ yrs! Obviously the top management thinks hiring young inexperienced people to run their showroom sales is economically beneficial!!! This very young man is not competent or qualified! read more

Overall, I love my car. However, it seems like it's one thing after another with this dealership - their attention to detail is severely less than par! 1st star is because my car is great. 2nd star is because I had to escalate the issues up the chain and they appear to want to fix the problems. I will list my numerous reasons/edit this review after I'm finally done dealing with the problems. read more

I experienced a bait and switch situation with Mark Auto Group last week while purchasing a vehicle I negotiated my 2024 Subaru to $18,500 and was only given $17,100 in trade after they bait and switched me with tax credits on a trade value. I have never heard of a tax credit before and after research find that all that does is lower your trade value and benefit the dealership. Any car is going to have tax reduction when they are traded in and should not be added to the actual trade value. I feel like I was scammed bait and switched and I'm very upset about the lack of response and rudeness from the dealership. If you have negotiated a deal on your car be cautious that they don't lower your trade value. Be very cautious and read everything that you sign. They will push add-ons and warranty. Buyer Beware! read more

In mid August my wife decided that she wanted a new Outlander Sport. We hopped on to auto trader and found the exact one she wanted. It was located in Glendale at Mark Mitsubishi. Since they had the lowest price I called and made sure the vehicle was indeed there and confirmed the price was indeed real. The young man (Ray I think) was quite polite and went to confirm the vehicle was there and the price was the price. I set an appointment for that weekend since I have two kids and live on Tempe mesa border and could not make it down that night. I called Ray back and asked him to please call me if that vehicle sells since we don't really live close. He agreed to do so. The next day my wife called the Scottsdale store since they were showing a similar model in stock and they are only about 15-20 minutes from us. My wife said she spoke to some fleet Manager (his name eludes me since I did not call) and asked if they would match the price of the one in Glendale. My wife explained that we are about halfway between Big Two and the Scottsdale store but found the listing in Glendale. Just to save the time of travel and not wait until the weekend she asked if they would match the price. The guy she spoke to asked for the number of the car in Glendale. He said it was actually in Scottsdale right now because they had an appointment on it. I should have taken this answer as a warning. According to my wife they Manger said "I can't blame you for not wanting to bring your family to Glendale. I would be afraid for my kids too". That comment just struck me as odd since they are the same company. The guy she spoke to asked for the number of the car in Glendale so he could verify pricing. He said it was actually in Scottsdale right now because they had an appointment on it. He did promise to match the price. I was a bit confused when my wife told me that because I just called the other location a day before and asked to be called if it was not there. I showed up the next day, Thursday, and we were greeted by a terrific young man full of energy. I told him that my wife is on her way with the kids and she spoke to someone last night about the Outlander Sport. I filled him in on color and pricing. He takes off for a few minutes and tells me that the Manger is not there but he found the notes and would help me out. I did not mind as long as he was up to date on the deal. I hate to negotiate on the lot and feel pressured. He assured me he was up to speed and he would pull the car up. About 15 minutes go by and he is still not back. By this point my family has met me at the store and getting excited for the car. The young man comes back and tells me he is having trouble finding the car. He invites me to walk with him and pick one I find. As we are walking I cannot find the one my wife wants. She hates blue and red, she just wanted white. So finally another person comes out with the young man who is helping us. He asked why we want a Mitsubishi. I told him my wife liked it. He then tries pushing a Kia on us. At first I was open to the idea of a different car. My wife started getting frustrated though a and just asked for the original White one we were there for. The new person to the conversation says "It might be on the roof. I don't know" No I do not know if they really have the cars on the roof or not or if he was just being sarcastic, but wife did not respond well and took the kids back to the car and let me do the looking while she waited. Now this is where things started getting weird(er). They guy starts telling me that we really should buy a KIA and if we tell his boss we saw it on some special web site (I forget what he said it was called) we could buy the car below invoice. Well this would be great if my wife wanted a KIA. The guy starts telling me how Mitsubishi is no longer going to be carried there soon and we should reconsider our choice. By this point I was frustrated because the car was missing. My wife had our two kids sitting in her watching a movie on a tablet. I just felt like I was duped. I had my wife call the Glendale store anonymously and ask to see if it was there. She did find out it was there still. I checked my phone and it showed on their site as well. I told the salespeople that the kids were hungry and we were calling it a night. Now I decided that no matter what I was not driving all the way to Glendale. If that store was like this store I could not handle it. Plus, I just could not fathom giving that company any of my hard earned money. Needles to say I called Big Two the next day and talked with someone. I gave him the price of Glendale. He looked it up online while I was on the phone. He said it isn't pretty but he would do it. I went down there on Friday by myself. Found the car in two minutes. I asked him to draw the numbers up before my wife came. They were exactly as promise. They added a charge for tint. Oh well. My wife came down and we were gone in 45 minutes in our new Outlander Sport. read more

Was looking for a vehicle that was large enough and reliable for family road trips. Purchased a used SUV from this dealer. Everything seemed good at first about the deal and the wife really wanted the vehicle they had. I was not allowed to have the "no hassle price" listed on the website and was threatened that if I didn't buy the vehicle for $1000 more than the price said that he had another buyer for it already. They will try to get you to pay for reconditioning and repairs for the vehicle even though it should have been taken care of already. Everything about this deal said not to do it, but since the vehicle was exactly what we were looking for we went through with it. The finance department was watching a football game during the signing, completely unprofessional. Upon receipt of our vehicle, they let us know that a lot attendant accidentally backed the car into something which ruined the bumper. They did replace it, but again, it was another sign to back out of the deal. Also, they would not let me take the car to an independent mechanic for a used car inspection (another sign that I should have backed out of the deal). Since the car was to be reconditioned for sale, I would have assumed they would have replaced the pressing issues it needed. The front brake rotors were warped, , the alignment was pulling hard to the left, and the vehicle needed all 4 tires. They never did replace the rotors because they claimed that was normal. They replaced 2 tires, but said the other 2 didn't need replacing even though they were right at the point of needing replacement. After driving the car home, there was horrible vibration. Found that the wheels/tires were not balanced properly (tons of weights on the wheels), I had Discount Tire correct this at my cost since Mark Kia could not get this right. I had also initially made a comment that the car was poorly cleaned up before being turned over to me. They asked if they wanted me to have them clean it again, and I declined. They went ahead and cleaned it anyways and threw away my personal belongings, I couldn't believe it. They have a third-party company clean their vehicles and could not get my stuff back since it was thrown away. Brought the car back again because they did not take care of the warped rotors, so they replaced the front brake pads instead of looking at the problem. They did however attempt to correct the alignment of the suspension, and it was set properly. The tires are most likely the culprit for the vehicle pulling to one side (again should have been replaced at time of sale). We left the vehicle with them for a third time for brake issues, they replaced the rear brake pads which again is not related to the front rotors being warped. The rear pads were installed incorrectly. I had also asked for a list of items they performed before it was sold to me, but I have yet to receive it, not even sure if the oil was changed when they sold it to me. They also couldn't tell me which air filter was changed (cabin or air?). After dropping the vehicle off with them so many times and the dealer avoiding the issue, I couldn't afford to take any more time off of work for them to not address the issue. I would not recommend anyone purchasing a vehicle from this company, let alone letting them service your vehicle when they couldn't correct an issue as important as brakes or as simple as properly balancing tires. 5 months into my vehicle ownership and less than 6,000 miles my engine has failed. They had someone call me to "feel out my attitude" and I haven't heard back from them since. You can see some of the other reviews here about the incompetent and incapable service department. Also the fact that they advertise a low price for their used vehicles and then try to get you to pay for the repairs so the car is road-worthy is a joke. I failed to see the signs and can only hope everyone who sees this takes this review seriously and save your time and money and buy from a reputable dealer who isn't Mark Kia and Mark Mitsubishi(Bell Rd. Mitsubishi). This is how they conduct business - doesn't matter which location as it's all the same owner. Do not support these crooks. read more

I have very positive things to say about our experiences with Blake, Bobby and Anthony at Mark Kia. I did *so much* research on a new (to us) family vehicle that I knew exactly what I wanted, what the standard features were, what the Kelley Blue Book value and average retail price on it was likely to be, and the condition and average trade in value on our existing vehicle. I used Mark Kia's online deal negotiation process and those pieces of information to negotiate with Blake online to come down even further on an already great bargain posted over the weekend. I was able to take that competitive offer, although tentative, in print to several other local dealerships for comparison. No one else even came close. Which is why my family made the two hour drive up from Scottsdale to test drive it and make a final decision. Bobby came in on his day off to show us the car that evening. It was exactly as described, a beautifully clean, excellent driving, certified pre-owned vehicle, with a clean CARFAX report and only marginal signs of previous ownership. There were even several miles of factory warranty still available, both bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverage. We decided to take it. Bobby STARTED the negotiation with the online deal price I had in my hand from Blake, even though several days had passed and the posted price on the vehicle had gone up. From there we were looking to minimize extras and get the most for our trade in. Even though the ballpark trade in value I had been haggling with was low, I brought with me the higher trade-in offers I'd found at other dealerships and the KBB value I knew it could get. I also knew that some of the 'standard' fees in front of me could be waived or reduced because they applied to features on this particular vehicle that came standard with manufacturing. Bobby, with manager Kyle's approval, reduced the unnecessary fees and gave us significantly higher value for our trade in than we had been offered anywhere else, this kept the price low and reduced the amount we'd need to finance after our down payment. There was alot of hand-written back of the napkin type notes, that manager Kyle and we both signed when we had an agreement. Take pictures of those with your smartphone. Lots of places do that and then it disappears in a file when you talk to financing and people forget exactly what was agreed. Once that was settled, it was time to talk to Anthony about financing. We were there very late after closing, but the dealership was very busy. We didn't mind waiting because it was obvious everyone was working hard. Anthony had a contract in hand for a reasonable interest rate and term, then spent several minutes making a very convincing case for purchasing additional dealer warranties, GAP coverage, etc from them. He was very knowledgeable. The cost of the add-ons added only a little to the monthly payment, but potentially alot over the life of the loan and we were able to decline because we knew exactly what was in our budget and what was essential to us. Anthony was respectful of our choices. We also asked him to remove fees we recognized as optional at other dealerships, and told him so. Then we asked him to show us an entirely new contract for a different term and interest rate that had also been suggested during the negotiation process, which we had in the notes we photographed with our phone. Anthony did everything we asked with warm professionalism. At the end of the day, we paid EXACTLY what we wanted, and nothing we didn't. Everyone did their job, and no one was a bad guy. Fingers crossed there are no surprises in the future. I'll append a note in six months to share if our bargain is still a bargain. But from the online negotiation, to the sales experience, to final negotiations, there were no headaches. Recommend informed consumers can start here. read more

**WARNING** I want to share my family member's experience with this particular dealership, in the hopes that it helps others avoid similar issues. This was his first time purchasing a car from a dealership, and what started as an exciting venture quickly became frustrating and disappointing. The first red flag was when my family member signed paperwork for a car, only to be told afterward that it had just been sold. While inconvenient, he remained optimistic and continued looking for another vehicle. He eventually found one, but things took a turn for the worse when he started dealing with the finance manager, Emanuel. My family member, on my advice, asked several important questions about the financing and additional costs. Emanuel's attitude shifted dramatically, seemingly annoyed by the inquiries. He began aggressively pushing for extras like gap insurance and a warranty, both of which my family member declined based on the fact that he was financially capable of covering the car without these costly add-ons. Emanuel's frustration was apparent, and he even questioned my family member's ability to pay for the vehicle if something were to happen. Despite these uncomfortable exchanges, my family member proceeded with the purchase, completed the paperwork, and made a down payment. He was promised that the car would be delivered to his address the next day, which was a great convenience considering he lived two hours away. However, the car did not arrive. When he called, he was told the vehicle was in the shop and would be delivered the following day. The next day came, and still no car. Instead, the dealership requested a copy of his social security card--something completely unnecessary since the paperwork had already been filled out prior. At this point, we decided to pick up the car ourselves. The dealership's management assured us the vehicle would be ready. However, upon our arrival, the situation was still unresolved. The manager, connor, claimed there was an issue with the paperwork, suggesting the information provided was fraudulent. This was a baseless accusation, and we suspect it was a stalling tactic. We decided to withdraw from the purchase and requested the return of the down payment. The dealership claimed the check would be overnighted to us, but it never arrived. After several calls and repeated attempts to get answers, a different manager finally offered assistance and allowed us to pick up the check in person. It was an extremely frustrating and time-consuming experience. This dealership's lack of transparency, professionalism, and care for its customers was appalling. They seemed more interested in profiting from unnecessary add-ons and were clearly unprepared to handle any buyer with knowledge of the car-buying process. The APR they offered was a shocking 24% for a 60-month term on a car with 70,000 miles priced at $16,000--completely unreasonable given the vehicle's condition. Fortunately, this story has a happy ending. We took our business to Oxendale Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Cottonwood arizona, and the experience was night and day. My family member walked away with a brand new 2024 Jeep with only 26 miles at a 9% APR for $25,000--and all in under two hours! I highly recommend Oxendale for anyone looking for a straightforward, respectful, and professional car-buying experience. In conclusion, always ask questions and thoroughly research before making any car purchase. If possible, bring along someone experienced to ensure you aren't taken advantage of. Let this be a cautionary story of what to avoid and where to find a dealership that truly respects its customers read more

Stay the F**K away from this dealership. Second visit to this dealership. Alright, I waited to make this review till right about now after dealing with this bullshit for nearly 3 months now. I found a Used 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD with the beautiful red interior and knew I had to have it. I negotiated for nearly 2 days, which got almost no where. I was told to place a $1,500 down deposit over the phone and that another $1,000 was due the next day once I got there. When I asked if the $1,500 was refundable if I was to change my mind, Jormen very quickly changed the subject and started telling me how great of a car it is. I was also told that it was accident free. Well, according to the CARFAX printed out for me when I arrived, it had one right side accident with no visible damage which if I had known that, i would've asked for a significantly lower price. The price advertised on Cars.com was $37,480 which was listed as a "Fair Deal" on KBB. What a rip off. After 5 calls in one night from Jormen, the salesman and two from the sales manager on that night, they convinced me I got a great deal saying the out the door price I got for the car was $36,000 and getting $32,500 (which was nearly $10,000 above what I owed on it) for my trade in. I was happy and felt accomplished at the time. Walk in there, sort it all out and get back to the Finance guy and was told that USED KIA'S DON'T transfer warranties over and that I would have to either Certify the car for a high price or buy an extended warranty through a different company for $1,400 that at least covered the turbos in the event that they failed. The very nice Finance guy, Juan over head paged Jormen into the office and when asked about the warranties, Jormen says "I told him that" without looking at me at all and walks out of the office. Dear lord would I have remembered that for the life of me after trying to negotiate on this car for 2 days. There's another failure from this dealership, although it could've just been a straight up lie. I ended up leaving the store with $38,700 (from the $36,000 out the door price) on my loan and got $30,000 (from the $32,500 price) for my used car. Boy oh boy did that quickly change. Alright, that's all said and done, onto the next part. My temporary license plate expired 01/16, half a month ago. Fed up with not receiving my new license plate after 3 months of purchasing the car, I called today to ask where it was and if the paperwork had even been sent. I spoke to Jessica in Titles. She told me there had been a "delay until today for the new license plate paperwork to have been sent to the DMV." Well, isn't that ironic after having a nearly 5 minute phone call with her in near silence except the start and end while she sent the paperwork over to the DMV. The many failures to me and from the other customers on this app from this dealership are likely from how new the dealership is but god damn do these people need to step their game up. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Update: I got my new license plate a week and half ago. The only reason that DMV paperwork was sent over was because i called or I would've kept waiting to get it. Don't go to this dealership. read more

My first KIA purchase was in OK, however, due to the fact that I reside in Arizona I needed to find a service department that would meet my needs. I contacted multiple KIA dealerships in the valley, but when I chose Mark KIA's service department I was more than satisfied and my search was over. I started working with Chris Stephenson, Service Advisor, in 2012. Any time I bring my vehicle in, he always addresses my concerns and goes the extra mile. Due to the outstanding performance of Mark KIA's service department there were no questions but to return for a New Car Purchase. As a previous owner of a KIA Sorento, I knew exactly what I wanted from the time I stepped on to the lot. I was confident that I would receive the same customer satisfaction as their Service Department had provided on every occasion, which I did. I was greeted by Abdul Hussein, a Sales Associate, who was very understanding that my time is important and paid close attention to the amenities in which I was requiring in order to close this deal. It took a few minutes, but sure enough, Mark KIA had exactly what I wanted for my 2015 KIA Sorento. After I test drove my soon to be KIA, I worked with Juan Rodriguez, Finance Manager, on all of the more important stuff. Yes, the contract! We reviewed everything I was signing in detail, Juan answered all of my questions and I left his office completely satisfied with my financing and my purchase. I did have to complete an additional document, and due the inconvenience Mark KIA offered to come to me. However, I chose to return to the dealership, and while I was there they filled up my car. It is satisfying that they understand that the purchase of a new car is a lengthy process, however, you will be satisfied as their team will make it a great buying experience in any way they can. I now have a new car and all sorts of amenities. That's when I was introduced to Kieran "Dublin" Murphy, Director of Lasting Impressions, who explained in detail how to operate all of my new features. Not only did Dublin explain all these, but he walked me through them in MY new car. I was left feeling that I had a solid grasp on how everything worked. At the end Dublin informed me that I could contact him directly with any other questions, of which I did and he was quick to respond. I mostly appreciated not having to return home with my new car, to sit down and open up a lengthy owner's manual to find that I still didn't understand what it is I was to do with all of these features. This was just one other way that Mark KIA goes the extra mile while understanding that your time matters. I would guarantee anyone that the experience at Mark KIA will be a good one. Thank you to the Mark KIA family and I look forward to working with you again in the future. read more

Lets face it, shopping for cars can be a fun experience. Sometimes shopping online takes the hassle out of it. This time around, I decided to explore the online avenue for purchasing a vehicle. Navigating through KKB.com led me to Mark Kia in Arizona, where I encountered commendable assistance from a dedicated internet sales representative named Mark. The communication initiated by Mark was noteworthy, demonstrating a genuine commitment to facilitating the car-buying process smoothly. In one of the emails, Mark expressed, "Jeff, considering the multitude of options and various factors involved in purchasing a vehicle, I am eager to receive your guidance on the necessary steps, ideal timing, and your preferred direction. I am here to simplify the process with your assistance. I am committed to staying proactive and promptly addressing your requirements. Feel free to share any information related to trade-ins or financing if you wish. Thank you for this opportunity, and I assure you that I will approach this with the utmost seriousness, respecting both your time and financial considerations. Please provide your guidance." Additionally, another email conveyed, "I'm initiating the process of evaluating trade-in options and crunching the numbers for you. We aim to streamline this for you immediately. Thank you for entrusting us with this opportunity. You are receiving this email be..." Despite my active participation in the correspondence, which included responding to inquiries and completing the dealership's application, the communication suddenly ceased. It is crucial to note that while my credit history may not be pristine, the abrupt shift in the sales approach was unexpected and disappointing. The proactive and professional demeanor initially displayed by Mark dissipated, leaving me with a sense of frustration and disappointment. Mark Banks at Mark Kia, who had been responsive and engaged, suddenly became unresponsive, marking a stark departure from the professionalism exhibited earlier. The lack of communication and failure to provide an update on the status of my application or the feasibility of the purchase felt unprofessional. In retrospect, a simple email stating the potential challenges or limitations would have sufficed and would have been in line with a professional sales approach. However, the sudden halt in communication gave an impression of unprofessionalism, resembling the stereotypical image of an old-time used car salesman more concerned with closing the deal than maintaining transparency and customer satisfaction.

I've been coming to this specific Mark Kia location ever since I got my first Kia, and I've always had such a great experience here. I've trusted them with all of my vehicle's service needs over the years, and every experience has been fast, smooth, and exceptional. My service advisor, Jacob Nelson, is always amazing and takes great care of car. Last week, while my car was being serviced, I had the pleasure of coming in with my mom while she was searching for a new car. We worked with John DiGerolami, and he was nothing but helpful from start to finish. He truly listened to all of our wants and needs and made sure we found the perfect match for her. We were very indecisive, but John was incredibly patient, never made us feel rushed, and made us both feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I also want to give a special thank you to Shane Woods Sr. in the service department for helping ease our minds about the car my mom ended up choosing. His knowledge and insight about cars and the specific vehicle were extremely helpful. Shane Woods Jr. was also a huge help and paired us with John, who ended up being the perfect fit for us. This was my first time being part of the car buying process at a dealership, and I can honestly say it was a fantastic experience. The entire process was incredibly quick and seamless. Honestly, my mom was able to purchase her car in about the same amount of time it takes them to complete my service appointment! Once we settled on a vehicle and it was time to sign the paperwork, DeMarko Martinez, the finance manager, got us through the process quickly and efficiently. He was extremely informative, walked us through everything from top to bottom, and made sure we understood the entire process. He had great energy and finished the experience off strong. What impressed me even more was the follow up after the sale. John has been exceptional about checking in to make sure my mom is happy with her purchase. He even sent us a very thoughtful thank you video, which was such a personal and appreciated touch. It's clear that he genuinely cares about his customers even after the sale is complete. By the time we walked out the door, we truly felt like part of the Mark Kia family because of how friendly, welcoming, and genuine everyone was. I was so pleased with the entire experience that I couldn't leave without writing a glowing review. The entire team at Mark Kia went above and beyond to make this a great experience. I highly recommend Mark Kia for both service and sales!!! read more

I was at Mark Kia back in October 2016 starting my search for a car. I was looking at several different models. I was looking at Toyota, Hyundai and Kia. I wanted to have my homework done so I could make a good decision and not be forced to buying a car on the spur of the moment. I currently drive a 2000 GMC Jimmy which has been good to me but knew it could go at any minute. I went to several dealerships in the Phoenix area as well as Lake Havasu City and Kingman and CarMax. Carmax is ok at looking at cars and doing your research but unless you are willing to pay a transfer fee and hope it is what you want was out of the question. Besides I went into a carmax in the Phoenix area and I was told that I needed to make an appointment for a sales person. Needless to say I walked out. My time is precious as I am from Lake Havasu. I went to Mark Kia and connected with a sales person names Suk. He was very nice but again I didn't have a lot of time and he admitted to me that he had only been there for 2 weeks. I asked if he could get us a sales person who was very experienced with the cars I was looking for. It was the Optima that had caught my eye. He was very accommodating and hooked us up with another person but staying with us. I thought it would be a learning experience for him. I had a budget that I was working with and told the I was coming in with cash. A new Optima which was black on black was shown to us and they just couldn't meet my price. They asked me if I wanted to test drive the car and I said no. I told them I was on borrowed time as I had things to do and then the 3+ hours drive home. I continued to look at Toyota's back home as well ad Kia's and Hyundai's in Kingman. It is now the week after Christmas and I find myself back in Phoenix. I had now decided that I wanted a Cadenza and Mark Kia had one which was a 2014 and low mileage. We pulled into the dealship and we saw Suk standing outside. We pulled up and said hello and he remembered us. I told him why I was there and which car I was there to see. He went to find the car and when he pulled it up I started to point out things and he said to me "I see you have done your homework". There were questions I had about the car and he was on point with his explanation of how things worked to which I said "I see you have done your homework also. Long story short Suk was a real pleasure to work with as was everyone at the dealership including Chad you handled all the paperwork. I had great customer service. read more

First thing I can say is I have seen continuous positive changes in Mark Kia over the last 5 years & I had a great experience from my first initial experience with them already, they just keep getting better and better. My mother bought a Kia Optima (co-signed) for my boyfriend at the time , I was so nervous about her getting ripped off or scammed like I had seen at other dealerships she has already shopped at, so protective as I am I went with her and my ex and he picked the BEAUTIFUL pearl colored fully loaded Kia Optima! When we arrived we were greeted with a friendly hello, not a shove into the most expensive car there. They asked what we were looking for, payed attention to our needs and got the payment as low as possible being my boyfriend and I were only 18 at the time the last thing we needed was a high car payment. They made it happen. Long story short I ended up with the car after the breakup and my Optima took care of me, but so did the service department and staff at Mark Kia. Sometimes Service Departments ( and Sales for that matter ) can be scary because you hear so many rumors of dealerships ripping you off. Well I am writing this review because I didn't think to when he got the car cause it was his, BUT now it's MINE & every time I take my car in I am taken care of, popcorn, snacks and coffee if I have to wait for an oil change, but anything more than an oil change they have been upfront, honest, explaining ( in lamest terms ) what needs to be done or what they have done, and they don't pressure me to do anything I can't afford unless it is a safety thing i.e. brakes. It has been my car for four years and every experience has been great which is really comforting to know when you are a girl and you can't fix your car but you can take it to someone you trust who can! My car is good to me to, I haven't had any major problems with it, it's still like new but if I do trade it in one day I am going to Mark Kia Scottsdale! I just haven't had a reason to part with it yet, I know my review is really late but before I maybe :))) look into the HOT NEW Optima I thought I better write a review about this one.... Never know could be soon :0) Thanks Mark Kia you guys are the best! read more

So I bought a Kia Sorento about a year and a half ago and wow talk about a rough deal. So I go to trade in my car and the guy said why don't you come in on July 4th we are having a big SALE. Ok I go in and they rush me through a test drive and then tell me that the color that I was looking at they only had in a DEMO. So I'm buying a Brand new car with 1600 miles. No prob they do ok on the numbers and low ball my trade so after the back and forth 4 square game I come to some numbers get the deal done and finally get done. by this time its 9pm and we are trying to rush so my 5 year old can see the fireworks at Tempe town lake. When I go out to get in I notice there are some stains on the back seat from what appears to have been where a car seat was and some melted crayons. no prob they say bring it back on monday and they will get it cleaned. so I go in and they say it will be a couple hours so they will give me a rental car and after I get off work I can just bring it back. An hour later I'm at Enterprise rental waiting on my rental. Take the rental go to work and they call me around lunch and say they are done. Great go in return the rental wait 30 min for the shuttle and then back to the dealer just to find out that they did no remove the stain. So now they give me a dirty Kia loaner that has no gas in it that I get to take. end of the day they call me and say its done. Great go back and once again the stain and crayons are still there. They did no lift the arm rest in the back seat to see that the crayon was not only on the armrest but melted all the way back down behind it. So finally after a nice conversation with the GM I get them to order a new back seat. I mean it is a new car it should be new CORRECT? next time dont let your employees take home the cars and act like it is theirs. a week later they finally get fixed with a new seat and I'm happy. but then the door starts to rattle. replace that and now there is a rattle in the back. Moral of the story DON"T BUY a KIA. I traded in a mercedes benz to save some time but it goes to show you get what you pay for. CHEAP CAR it falls apart. read more

This is where it's at right here! I'll try to make a long story short, this is where I married the love of my life .... I bought a 2012 Kia optima and this car is sic, there isn't any difference between my car and those p o s lexo's out there except they are like 3times price. My car is my BABY and never fails when I'm drivin around it turns heads every time, it's like takin a baby to the grocery store. :) I have to give props and thanks to Mark Kia though because they made this all happen, the salesman was cool , no line of crap just straight forward from the get go! My friend has bought 3 of his cars from Mark Kia and he told me " just go there bro they'll hook you up " so I did and i will NEVER go anywhere else to buy another car again. Even the manager was cool, everyone I have met there is real people down to earth lookin out for you as the customer how it should be and I was in and out in just a few hours. Every one went above and beyond for me, more than I ever would of expected from a car dealership. The receptionists were nice too kept asking if I needed anything I was comfortable, offered me wi~fi coffee etc... They had Starbucks coffee too! Just another plus, the service department is awesome too, Brandi is a sweetie, I got a free car wash but didn't have time the day I got my oil change so they just let me come back another day! I'm tellin you do yourself a favor, I'm shouting out like my friend did for me, you won't be sorry but I gotta say I look better than you in my car, ha! Thanks for everything Mark Kia sales and service, I'll be back and sendin people your way. Anthony read more

I recently bought a car from out of state, and the whole experience was awesome, all thanks to the crew at Mark Kia, especially Carissa. From the get-go, Carissa's professionalism and know-how made everything way easier than I expected. Even though I wasn't there in person, she kept me in the loop and confident about my decision. Carissa went above and beyond--she sent me detailed videos of the car and was super quick to answer all my questions. She made me feel totally secure about the purchase, even without seeing the car myself. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to making sure the customer is happy, and Carissa really nailed it. Max took care of the paperwork, and he was on point--everything was done efficiently and without any issues. His experience really showed throughout the process. Angel also played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. He had my back, ensuring every little detail was perfect, which really showed how well the team works together. One great surprise was that Mark Kia covered my flight and hotel costs, which really added a nice touch to the whole experience and showed how much they care about their customers. All in all, Carissa's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication, along with Max and Angel's support, made buying a car out of state a really satisfying experience. I'd totally recommend Mark Kia to anyone looking for a hassle-free car buying experience with top-notch customer service. read more

HORRIBLE Dealership and management. Went in with a friend to see a car on their lot. Was first of all offended when the sales guy questioned her capability to afford the car. Gave their management a shot to make things right. We both took 3 hours of our work day to go BACK in because we were told they would give the official numbers on the car and trade in value. Spent hours there and after they had all the time to inspect the trade in were told there needed to be an official verbal "yes" to purchasing the car TODAY before they'd give any numbers. This was after we stated she will most likely need to sleep on it. Since she wouldn't give the 100% confirmation she'd purchase the car today, they wouldn't give any more information. Saying she is interested in the vehicle but not liking their approach, they came back and low balled her trade in. Wow these guys are sleazy high pressure sales men. Having a sales background, I am embarrassed for them. We were accidentally told by a sales guy that they lost a sale on a $85,000 Range Rover the day before because of their sales approach. I feel bad for the owner of this dealership. If this was my team, I'd be embarrassed my name was on the building... what happened to transparency and working with people. You'd think you would see a possible buyer in front of you when they came back after a bad experience to give you another shot! I'll never recommend this place. read more

Despite a long history of purchasing cars and facing numerous challenges along the way, my latest car buying experience was transformed from dreadful to delightful, all thanks to Tristan Ingram-Pettit at Mark Kia. Tristan's approach was not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable. His expertise shone brightly throughout the process, and his patience was truly commendable, especially considering my late arrival to the dealership. In a situation where many would have shown frustration, Tristan remained composed and ensured everything was handled smoothly. He didn't just sell me a car; he took the time to understand my needs and meticulously found the right part for my vehicle, showcasing his dedication and customer-first attitude. His efforts made me feel valued and respected as a customer, something that has been rare in my experiences with several other dealerships in the area. I am thoroughly impressed by Tristan's professionalism and the exceptional service provided at Mark Kia. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tristan to anyone looking to purchase a car. The level of care, knowledge, and patience he brings to the table sets him apart, making it clear that none of the other dealerships I visited can compare to the positive experience provided here. If you're in the market for a new vehicle, do yourself a favor and seek out Tristan Ingram-Pettit at Mark Kia; it's a decision you won't regret. read more

I wish we could choose a star in the negative, this company does not even deserve single star. We made all the arrangements over the phone, and by email. Choose the cars we wanted to see online, did the finance application over the phone and was assured that everything was in order. When we arrived for our appointment the sales person was busy, we waited ... ended up leaving for lunch and coming back. We should have just not came back (by the way we drove over an hour to get there) Finally the guy is free to help us, and just passes us off to his brother ... his brother (so called manager) has no information, wants to start the finance application over again, cant find the emails we sent and so on ... all the while the sales guy behind us is on the phone bad mouthing customers to his father (he told another worker that we was talking to his father) The receptionist was slouching in her chair eating pop corn (loudly) and flirting with sale guys walking by. This place was ridiculous and I knew right away that if I did any business with this clown company, that I would regret it. So I stood up and said "never mind. we are leaving" I left that place literally shaking mad. Then when we decided to at the very least email the sales guy who had pawned us off, letting him know why we left ... he had blocked us. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER GO TO THIS DEALER AND DONT BELIEVE THE GOOD RATINGS THEY ARE LIES! read more

Disappointing Experience, Lack of Communication We traveled all the way from Las Vegas after almost a week of communicating with Ethan and Kameron about a car we were in the works of buying. We even had updated ETAs, and we were told everything was moving forward. However, when we arrived at the dealership, we were informed that the car had been sold the very same day, and no one bothered to notify us. We were passed off to John, who was unaware of the situation and clearly had no information about the car we had been discussing. While I don't blame John or the manager, my frustration is with Ethan and Kameron, with whom I had been in contact throughout this entire process. A simple call or message would have saved us the time, effort, and money spent on this trip. We had to change our spring break plans around just to come out here for this car, and I had even planned on trading in my own vehicle. Now, I've put an additional 600 miles on my car, which will likely lower its resale value. The manager and John did apologize and seemed genuinely sympathetic, but the lack of communication from Ethan and Kameron was really disappointing. We weren't expecting them to take responsibility for the sale, but a little heads-up would have gone a long way. I hope this helps them improve their customer service moving forward. read more

After arriving late for my appointment, I was kindly greeted by a lady who checked me in and answered all my questions - she told me the low price of my oil change, then said the tire rotation and all points inspection was complimentary: FREE! When Mr. Cody took up my appointment and had care of me and my car for the oil change, he sent a nice, brief text to let me know I could text or call at any time through the appointment, and texted me when all was finished. I was treated well by every Kia associate I saw, and everyone was doing their part to make the experience pleasant and natural - it wasn't putting on a show, but just being decent to the people who came to them for help or for a dream car - we're all Kia people there! As I was received for checking out, I was told the price for my change was even twenty dollars cheaper!!! They had applied a discount, which I didn't bring up or ask for, that I actually had gotten in the mail but had expired. They did a good turn for me and I appreciate it!!! Mr. Cody explained the mechanic's report that nothing was worrisome or concerning, and shared my joy that I could drive away with money still in my pocket and a dependable car (purchased from Tempe Kia, shout out!!!). I look forward to seeing the Mark Kia team again. read more

The absolute worst used car buying experience of my life 7/2020. We chose not to finance with them because I have a local bank (out of state) that I use for all of my lending needs. They were relentless in trying to "pull a fast one" and "bait and switch" I feel they tried to take advantage of us at every turn. I absolutely agree with the review left by The C. 9/10/2020. It was extremely similar to our experience. This was a car for my 19yo daughter who had just been in a car accident and needed replacement transportation. GEICO was great through the entire process. Mark Kia is pathetic. Taking advantage of a 19yo kid who works VERY hard for what she has is shameful. It is now October and we STILL can not get in touch with ANYONE (I have tried finance mgr, title officer, general manger...) to discuss our taxes and title so that we can get it registered in Illinois. IL DMV is closed...The finance manager was rude through the entire process. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB. I hope this helps someone avoid a huge headache not mention being scammed. read more

Great experience with Mark Kia of Scottsdale. We went in to get our van serviced again with Chris our favorite service writer who always goes out of his way to answer all of our questions and give us great service. We were waiting for a loaner car to come in and went to talk and do some research with Joseph in sales about getting just the right used truck with low miles for a good price. He was not pushy and answered all of our questions. He then proceeded to find us a truck with just what we were looking for and even matched our tight budget. Bob the sales manager along with Jacob helped us get great financing with our just average credit. They really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy all the way to the finance manager and after. They even followed up after the deal to make sure some poor tires on the back were taken care of. All in all we are happy and probably had one of the better experiences for that dreaded shopping for just the right deal.
