Peltier Kia Longview - Thank you! - Car Dealers Near Me - Longview, Texas

5 stars to Peltier Kia in Longview for an excellent car-buying experience. Jalen Harris was outstanding and went above and beyond to make the deal happen. His willingness to think outside the box and put in the extra effort is what earned my business. He had the vehicle ready when I arrived and even followed up the next day, which says a lot about his professionalism and customer care. Channon Stewart, the manager, was knowledgeable, efficient, and helped secure a great interest rate. He clearly runs a solid team and keeps the process moving the right way. Braylon Williams in finance also did an excellent job and made everything smooth and easy to understand. He is definitely someone to watch. I drove three hours to purchase this vehicle, and the entire process exceeded my expectations. Everyone I worked with was professional, helpful, and made the trip worthwhile. I highly recommend Peltier Kia in Longview. read more

I had an amazing experience at Kia. Michael helped me find exactly what I was looking for and consistently checked in to make sure I was satisfied throughout the process. Even though I was there a little longer due to technology issues, Paige was incredibly welcoming and made the wait enjoyable. She also did a great job showing me how to use all the features in my new car. The entire staff was friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Kia to anyone looking for a new vehicle! read more

would highly recommend! Bought two 2026 Kia sportage from this dealership, after leaving a kia delearship in Texarkana due to being treated poorly. I felt listened to, helped find the cars i wanted and even delivered one an hour and a half to my home. would highly recommend them! read more

Please believe me when I say this dealership is full of the absolute worst, uncaring, unprofessional, and absolute scandalous humans I have ever encountered....and that is putting it mildly. My 85-1/2 year old father was scammed out of his life savings. He is a Korean Conflict Air Force Veteran on a VERY small fixed income. This dealership completely took advantage of an elderly man who is now left with NO SAVINGS. While $17,000 may not sound like much to some, this was my father's nest egg. Although he lives in a senior citizen's apartment complex in Hughes Springs, the dealership sent a driver to pick him up to look at a car. When I discovered he was looking at a car, I contacted the salesman, Braylen, and explained his limited funds, his physical and mental condition, and was promised he would not do anything without contacting me. Braylen stated he would bring my father home after looking at the car. Instead, he sold him a $38,000 car, taking his $17,000 down payment with a loan for 84 months at $385.00 per month. I cannot believe he even qualified for a loan....and for 84 months????? When Dad explained he only had $16,000 for the down payment, they convinced him to add another $1000 by using his credit card. As if his entire savings wasn't enough money!!!! Since I never heard from the salesman, I thought my father was returned home. Instead, they sent my father home (45 miles away) in the dark by himself. I told Braylen that my father hadn't driven in 2-1/2 years as he has tremors and uses a walker/cane, yet he was allowed to take the car and leave. My dad immediately had buyer's remorse the next day and returned the car. The dealership refused to take the car nor would they return his money. He went again on Monday and was told the same thing. Once I got involved,they finally accepted the car and returned $ 5,000 which was explained as the cost of the extended warranty he was sold! I honestly thought you had 3 days to return a car, but apparently not in TEXAS. I can't believe anyone would take advantage of an elderly man who walks with a cane, has tremors, and clearly has decreased mental capacity. Although I have Power of Attorney, I could not negate the transaction. I have called many agencies but to no avail. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THESE CROOKS!!! I WOULD HATE FOR ANYONE TO EXPERIENCE THE POOR TREATMENT WE RECEIVED!!! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.....I WILL GLADLY GIVE MORE DETAILS IF NEEDED! I am a retired educator, a school board trustee, and my father and I are both active members of 1st Baptist Church of Hughes Springs. We are good people and are heartbroken that people from this dealership took advantage of our trusting nature. read more

Peltier Kia Longview - Dad and Kathi @ FBC Christmas dinner - Car Dealers Near Me - Longview, Texas

I have bought several cars over the years from my local dealers here in Waco, but we went to this dealer because of the car we have been searching for. This dealership is pushy on sales. Once we bought it, we noticed several things that were withheld from us about the car. Lots of hail-damage dents; the Carfax shows a dent on the wrong end of the car. The finance guy was super pushy on add-ons and was upset when I told him I didn't want them. They refuse to call you back when you have questions after the car left the lot. Don't buy from them. While it might seem like a good deal, trust me, it isn't. read more

Do not do business with this company! Here's why...I'm gonna name drop some folks. In June of 2023 I traded in my truck for a 2023 Kia Sportage. I waited over 5 hours to get to finance and I had my own bank. The finance guy was rude. He called me retarded for not purchasing the extended warranty which is my prerogative. But he did a poor job of explaining the benefits of it and we got into an argument. Once I understood the benefits of it I decided to buy the extended warranty. Can't remember the guys name. He's probably late 20's early 30's, Hispanic, former cop; reeks of arrogance. They charged me for a cleaning kit that I didn't get. I told the finance guy that I didn't want only to see a charge for it later. I didn't look at my paperwork real good which is my fault but knowing that I didn't want the cleaning kit he still charged me for it. I think it was $89 and I live in Bossier City. It's almost 100 miles away to do anything about so I was like whatever. It August now. I decided after a month of owning the Sportage, that it wasn't for me. I had to get a truck. The sportage is great. It just didn't fit my lifestyle. So after I traded in the sportage, I contacted Peltier Kia Longview right away and asked them what I needed to do. I was told to talk to John Bowers. I called John Bowers and he told me that I needed to fill out a form and send it in with my bill of sale showing that I traded in the Sportage. I asked him to send me the form and he said he would but of course he didn't. After a few days I called him again and he wouldn't take my calls. They would go to voicemail. So I had my girlfriend call and ask for him and of course he answers! She got him to send me the form. I send the form back and wanted to make sure he got them. I send an email and no reply. I call and leave messages but no reply. I will post pictures of our correspondence. My last picture of our correspondence was in October 3rd 2023. Instead of emailing me back he decided to call me. He said that the paperwork takes 8 weeks to process and he gave me a figure of about $800. I call in January and asked to speak to him but of course no answer and I hung up. Frustrated I call back and ask for a different manager. I believe I asked for John Bowers's boss and the receptionist was like "whoa what's going on?" I told her that I wanted to file a complaint on John but unfortunately he's the only manager available so I let her go. 20 minutes later, John Bowers calls me acting all friendly and apologetic and said that my paperwork was held up in the business office but everything recently went through and that I should get a check soon. If that's true, why was it held up for so long? How is it that it happened to get released after I called? I'm calling B.S. I finally received the check for almost $1700, I want to say around mid January. Here's the thing, I started this process in August and it was not resolved until January. I know that the finance guys gets a commission for selling the extended warranties. So if for some reason I forget to follow up then he gets to keep his commission but what a shitty way to do business. Peltier Kia of Longview is a multi million dollar company! I make 80k a year and they're trying to take advantage of me. $1700 is a lot of money for me. If they do it to me, who is essentially a nobody, then they will do it to you as well. Essentially that's stealing money from me. I'm owed $1700 and I asked for it back but if by chance I forget about it, I'm still owed that money and you're keeping it from me. What kind of family man, business do you have to be to steal money from people to make a living? Oh lastly, it's possible that John Bowers was the first original finance guy I talked to. In writing this post, I'm not expecting Peltier Kia of Longview to call me to rectify any issues. Or even John Bowers at this point. As far as I'm concerned I've gotten what was due to me (except that cleaning kit for $89 but it's too much trouble at this point). I just want to warn others who are considering doing business with this company. It may not prevent people from doing business with them but hopefully it will shame them Peltier into better practices. read more

See all

The service manager needs to be replaced with someone who is better at their job and has better costumer service skills... she's a chore to talk to. Lord bless her.. hassled me about a dang rental they had me in for 4 months. why? I couldn't tell you because I was not even calling about it, so why it was relevant not sure. I have done paid for the mileage and whatever else they felt the need to charge me for. They said they can't sell it because of me, but from my agonizing phone call, I would bet money it's because of personality... yikes! read more

Car purchased here and it seemed great but the dealer made many promises that ended up being lies! Trouble with service department. No communication... I had to call to check on service! No vehicle given when my car was in with a warranty repair and they had my vehicle for 2 weeks! Spoke to GM and received apologies but then had the same thing happen the next time? I'm honestly just disappointed with the time invested on the customer! I can't get anyone to answer the phone when I call the service department! read more

I'm a loyal KIA customer with 4 new KIAs in 10 years. On 10/25/23, I turned in the Niro's lease to Peltier to upgrade to a larger, more expensive vehicle. I'd moved 200+ miles from my previous location, needed to find something local to handle my KIA needs. I chose Peltier KIA Longview as it was less than 10 miles from my new house. As my lease was nearing the end date, I'd been watching new inventory arrive at Peltier & saw the car I'd been wanting for months--a 2023 Hybrid Sorento EX AWD. I contacted them as soon as I saw it & spoke with & scheduled an appointment for 2 days later with Salesman Eric. The day after I scheduled the appt, I received a text from Eric that advertised CBD/Delta 8 products indicating I should check it out. A minute later, I received another text apologizing, he'd meant that for a different audience. This was not a great introduction to Peltier KIA. however...they still had the car I wanted so I went to the appt at 4pm on 10/25/23 & asked to see the car. He did & I wanted it. All this took about 20 mins. Back inside, we sat down at Eric's desk. I was introduced to a woman named Marci who is a Customer Success Representative. She told me I could contact her for anything during the sale & all things after if I needed help. She was delightful. Eric talked pricing for a bit, maybe 10 mins. He had Finance run my credit during these negotiations & all was good (very good credit, qualified for $1,400/mo). We had a deal in 5 minutes. The offer/acceptance took no more than an hour. Eric took the paperwork back to the Finance department & handed it off to Finance Manager John on duty that evening. John processed my paperwork for an hour & came out to tell us it was taking a little longer than usual & he appreciated our patience. I let him know that was fine. Marci chatted with us & was fun. Another hour went by with paperwork still in Finance with John. I'd been here for 3 hours now & 2 of them spent sitting in a chair while Finance processed the paperwork. Eric told us to, "Be patient, please...we don't get many leases in this area & they're tricky." Another 45 minutes passed as John figured out how to do his job & we were escorted back to his office to sign papers. I was grateful since Marci & I had even gotten around to exchanging recipes. But, honestly, we were both talked out at that point. Papers were signed (the time wasted on selling me the premium service package after being stuck here for 3 hours was NOT appreciated). John had an attitude that evoked boredom & rudeness the whole time. I felt like we were being punished because of his incompetence with leases. We went through a tired salesman's rushed new car demo & his unsuccessful attempt to set up the KIA Access app. (See rest of review in attached photo.) read more

Peltier Kia Longview - The rest of my review... there just aren't enough characters for this nonsense. - Car Dealers Near Me - Longview, Texas

I took my kia optima here and everyone was so sweet and professional. They have two waiting areas so that was really nice. Plus they have free snacks and drinks. I felt valued and i would recommend to others. I would go back if i needed to. read more

Could not have had a better experience purchasing our truck from Pelltier Kia today. The communication by Kayden our salesperson prior to us arriving to the dealership was perfect and we had everything necessary to make the process very easy. They were professional and courteous and went the extra mile to make the experience above and beyond. Extremely happy with the quality and price and highly recommend working with this dealership. read more

Worst dealership I've bought a car from I purchase a brand new car and the salesman would never tell me the final price then the finance guy same thing would never tell me the final price just kept telling me the price of the car, when I signed the paperwork he didn't let me look at it just made me sign really fast and kept changing the conversation, when I got home numbers didn't add up so I called and email every week one person send me to another one and so on, starting from salesperson David, finance guy Damian, another finance guy John, then to General Manager Steven and it's been 2 months and nobody would send me the contract so I just gave up, who else do you turn to for help when everyone is on the scheme, I did find out over the phone that they added bunch of extra charges I wasn't aware off that's why didn't explain the contract because they knew I would've gone to another dealership where I already had the price on paper and I showed them the purchase order, people be careful because I saw a review where they did something similar to another customer so looks like this is how they operate, BIGGEST REGRET buying here. read more

The service team sucks. Bailey is the only sweet individual in that building. The service manager Steve is rude and along with the general manager and assistant manager. Never take your Kia Vehicle there for anything. Not even air in the tires. My car has sat in their service center since May of 23 it is now September and after not even a week of having my vehicle back its back in the service center. Please be careful of who you allow to work on your vehicle. read more

I know that salesmen/women have jobs to do but absolutely lying to our face isn't the way to do it!! Telling us our car was going to be traded, working up prices that fit our budget having us drive all the way from Tyler after we expressed our real struggle in making everything happen... knowing we desperately need a 3rd row... just to have my husband show up and damn near sign paperwork that was just for a 3rd car payment!! absolutely pathetic sales team! read more

Everyone at the dealership were extremely nice. I was lucky to work with Roberto Cerda, he made the car buying experience simple & easy. I highly recommend if you go ask for him he will work with you on whatever you're looking for! read more

I took my precious old Kia...2008 Sorento , Katy, with only a bit over 60,000 miles to Peltier when I had electrical problems. The very nice people in the repair department advised me it was terminal. State Farm sent an inspector and totaled it! Bad rats had eaten most of the wiring including the junction gadget. Had to buy a new Kia. Got a 2020 Kia Forte (Fiona). Salesman was great but I think I should have gotten a little better deal. Just my opinion. Regardless, I do recommend this dealership highly. I will return. I just hope the rats don't. read more

Guys, I NEVER write reviews, but I could not pass on this one. I assisted my daughter in buying her first new car. My experience with the salesperson was stellar, the tables turned when it came to the financing, deal closing person named JOHN BALLARD. I was initially met with the lie of him trying to increase the price by $5,000 with a bs line (so that he could get a larger commission). When I told him I shopped the price online and knew what it was he proceeded to tell me that EVERY car at Kia comes with a diamond clear coat. I told him I didn't ask for nordid I want that. He said again that they all come with that. When I stood up to leave he told me he had one left in the color that I wanted with the amenities I wanted that hadn't had the clear coat installed yet. Wouldn't you know it was the exact same car? I don't like being played like a fool. Kia is great but do NOT sit in the presence of JOHN BALLARD! He is a lier and a schemer! read more

I sent a message to them to see if a vehicle was still available at 7:30 am on a day when they were open. An hour later, I sent another message. 5 hours later, another message. I finally got a response from them at 2:20 pm saying they'd pass it to the sales team for immediate assistance. 9 pm... still nothing Obviously the sales team is on salary and doesn't care if they sell a vehicle or not. I really need a new vehicle, but not from them. read more

I would not recommend purchasing a car from here. We bought a used car a couple weeks ago. The sales guy made several promises such as "detailing, fixing a dent, filling it up with gas, etc." and told me to bring the car back in a few days at 9:30. I showed up at 9:30, he was nowhere to be found. The service department said they had no appointment for me. Sales apologized then set an appointment for the following week. We then decided to call service a couple days later and AGAIN they had no record of our appointment. We set our own appointment, came in with the car and they only polished one scratch on the car. After asking the sales man about the detailing, filling up with gas, etc. he said "that wasn't put on the paper you signed" and pretended as though he never mentioned those things when we bought the car.Overall the specific salesman was very shady and I would not recommend buying a car from him. I will say Taylor the Sales Manager has been very helpful despite the absolute unprofessionalism and disregard of the specific salesman who sold us the car. read more

One of the fastest & simplest car buying experiences I've ever had. I highly record you go ask for Roberto Cerda. He works with your budget & needs! I never thought buying a car would be that easy. read more

I'm on a trip for the kid to transport a 2012 Kia that she bought from a friend in Raleigh North Carolina to El Paso Tx. Apparently the engine seized at the boarder of LA and TX. (Just had the oil changed so we're not sure how that happened.) Brought it here where they inspected it and gave me the bad news. However these guys understood my situation and was able to accommodate me with a shuttle to and from my hotel and to the rental car place. Downright bent over backwards to help me. If I lived here I would come back here to purchase a vehicle from these guys. read more

Beware of the "dealer addendum" or "market adjustment" aka upcharge due to supply and demand. MSRP was $11,000 less than the cash price of vehicle. They are very smooth and work quickly so that you don't realize you're being taken. Shop around and check other dealers addendum before you sign on the dotted line. Once we noticed MSRP was so different than the price we paid they said sorry there is nothing that can be don't. read more

I've tried contacting them for two weeks to cancel my warranty, gap, and service contract that I paid out of pocket for, With no luck. I've since quit trying, and have used all other avenues of approach. read more

they are all so sweet and caring!! service and sales were so welcoming I will always go to them no matter what! thank you Kia Longview for everything yall do read more

Brought my vehicle in for an oil change and they were friendly and fast. Thanks!

We haven't been able to reach anyone on cancellation of our warranties. I can see why they beg you to leave an outstanding review after you purchase a vehicle. "Make sure to leave us a great review, I won't get a bonus if you don't." In the words of our salesman. If you're doing things right, you wouldn't grovel for great recognition. read more

I was convinced to purchase a 2021 Kia Niro EV in July. I had previously owned a Kia Solo. First I was told by the salesman Cody that fully charged my car would go to Dallas and back and then some. From the interstate the sign says 120 miles, so both ways would be 240 mile. Fully charged the max is about 214 miles. Then I was not told that the car doesn't come with a spare. After having a flat late at night all roadside assistance could do is take the car to the dealership. When I called the next morning I was told I was the 3rd car in line. When they finally got back to me I was told I had to have a new tire and rim. The tire would be $242.50 and the rim was on back order. I said go ahead and put the new tire on. I was trying to find a way to get back to the dealership all day and I kept calling and leaving messages. My son finally went to the dealership and they said they wouldn't have the tire in until the next day, NO ONE ever told me this to my knowledge my tire was being replaced right then. My son walked from the dealership to Big 5 Tire and purchased a tire and took it back for them to put on my vehicle. I had even called my salesman to ask about when my car would be ready and he said he would check and get back with me...Never happened. Not a very pleased customer and certainly not with their service dept! read more
