Went to kia putnum saw Rameen very polite and a good sold dude highly recommended if your looking for a kia !!

Rameen and Justin were amazing. They were so helpful and were so excited about our new vehicle.

Great experience at this dealership. Worked with Rameen on trading my Buick Envista and getting into a 2027 Kia Seltos. Worked the deal over the phone with Rameen and Francisco. Once we agreed, I came in and signed the documents. In n out in about an hour or so. When my wife gets a new car, I'll be contacting Rameen again! read more

Instead of addressing the issue, we get, a patronizing "we'll tell our person". Why not mention why you charge to look at a brand new Kia purchased from another dealer? We ended up taking it back to the original dealer and they were great. They had a technician look over the engine and after 20 minutes told it was a loose wire connection, they tightened it, no cost, and we were on our way. We asked them what they would do if we brought it there from another dealer and he said they would have done the same thing as they did with us: they would try and diagnose the problem and not charge us hundreds to do so. Avoid Putnam at all costs!!!! read more

I purchased a 2026 Kia Niro from Rameen he help me all the way got me the deal I felt very comfortable with and would highly recommend this dealership and salesperson Rameen he is very nice and polite. Answered all my questions I needed to know. Thank you. read more

I want to thank Eric for helping me out today with my service. He's friendly, professional and thorough.

Had an amazing experience with Advisor Eric with a complex PHEV charger warranty (was challenging to insert/remove). Despite the complexity, and the fact that I got the car from Kia Marin, he and Chris and the parts team stuck with it and got the new charger warranty approved. Eric kept me up to date with text messages explaining the process as we waited. Will be back here every time for service! read more

It was very easy and fast to schedule a service appointment, and my service consultant Eric Santagada was awesome to work with. He accommodated my needs to have my car ready by a certain time and split the service into two separate days, due to my scheduling constraints. I'm certainly coming back here for my next appointment. Thank you! read more

Great experience with Putnam Kia and exelent service given by salesman Luke,he made everything go smoothly and explained all I needed to know. read more

This was the most weird experience ever. I don't think I would be coming back here. We were suggested a car to test drive, the second car I wanted to test drive was not even offered, the lease offer was double of what our friends got offered. No extra information, not much knowledge on the car was offered, unfortunately. I was surprised honestly. We might have come to a wrong person at a wrong time maybe. read more

Great working with Rameen Rahimi. Got me the best deal on a Sportage and worked hard to sort out finance issues for me as well!

Bravo to Putnam KIA - unbeatable sales and service We leased the KIA EV9 GT-Line AWD -- such a fun car and easily the best SUV in its class. Our experience with their team has been truly amazing. Francisco in Sales went above and beyond to locate the exact configuration we wanted (even beyond dealer inventory), was willing to hold it for two weeks to suit our needs, and offered us a great deal as well. John and Rishi in Sales were super helpful too. On the service side, Chris is a rock star and Marlon is always cheerful and ready to help -- they make every visit a pleasure. Outstanding team, top-notch service, and a dealership that truly cares about its customers. For both Sales and Service, Putnam KIA is the place to drive to! read more

Came in debating what car to get and Rishi was able to answer all my questions over text about the car's feature the next couple days. Went back the next week to finalize it. I was in and out within 2 hrs! read more

Patrick ıs the best person advisor I have ever had, have been to many other dealers but this ıs the best.

I came in for a usual maintenance and had a Great experience. The service team was very helpful especially Eric Santagada.

I had a weird experience at Putnam Kia yesterday. Upon walking in, there were lots of people working there, and I was the only customer in the whole store. I wasn't acknowledged at all. I wanted to sit in one of the cars in the showroom, but the door was locked. The window was down, so I opened the car using the inside handle, and the car alarm went off. At this point, I was certainly acknowledged-- with stares from all the staff. On the way out, one person did verbally acknowledge me, asking if I have any questions. I told him it was very odd to have the car alarm go off, and he stated it was a "safety" issue. Putnam Kia must be a pretty safe place because I've never had a car alarm go off in any other dealership. read more

Bought a carnival today from Rameen and got grate service. Execellent service. recommend.

My rating is due to the great customer service SAMANTHA and JUDE gave. It was my first time at a dealership to get my own car, so I was really nervous. But the Putnam Kia Team was awesome! Everyone had a smile on their face, was super friendly, and the dealership itself was clean. While I was waiting to get my car detailed and some gas in the tank, I was able to watch how the other people in sales engaged with the other clients. It was really nice to see everyone being professional and ready to help! Samantha was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable about the car. I came in with my sister to initially test drive the 2026 Kia K5 GT-Line and ended up leaving with it due to her. Throughout the drive, it wasn't awkward at all-- as if I was merely driving around with a friend. That's how comfortable we felt! Jude, who's in finance (I believe the offices are shared with Toyota) was also awesome! The process for the paperwork was really smooth and didn't take long to finish at all. It wasn't as intimidating as it would seem thanks to his friendly personality and humor. Plus, the car itself is a 10/10! She's incredibly smooth and easy to drive. All the features are so incredible, especially that panoramic sunroof, and my family also likes this car. Especially my dog! Besides, the red leather seats are to die for. I'd 100% recommend this dealership if you're looking to test drive or buy a car! read more

I had the best service experience. I bought my new Kia Sportage Hybrid EX AWD. I went to different dealers. I was lucky to connect with Rishi Shrimali. I requested a video of the available cars. He was so helpful and sent me a video showing me the cars and his recommendations. I bought the car! Very happy with. But I recommend Rish nice guy, speak Spanish as well. Kudos to Rishi read more

Imma keep it 100, I first went to another local kia to get my car serviced. They said it would take 5 days JUST to diagnose my car...thats unheard of. I needed a quick turnaround because I need my car and the other location wouldnt even offer a loaner while they would have my car for 5+ days. In comes Putnam Kia. I explained the situation to Marlon (the GOAT) and he not only was able to diagnose my car the same day, but it was fixed and picked up the same day as well. Ive only had this KIA for 3 months (purchased at another dealer) and to have an error with it is annoying, so having not only honest and friendly service from the start but to have my car back in such a quick fashion was really the breath of fresh air I needed after having such a bad experience at the previous service center. This is and forever will be my service center. Marlon is a great dude... professional, kind, personable, knowledgeable, and really cares for his profession as well as the customers. It seems like such a basic thing to do but stuff like this goes a very long way and I cant thank him and his team enough. read more

amaxing customer service by Eric. he was able to get my engine replaced under warrant. great communication

[update: dropping to 3 stars bc the terms of the lease were changed on me at the last minute. Very disappointing and def left a bad taste in my mouth on what had until then been a very positive experience.] As a female first-time car buyer (age 40, but have lived in NYC for the last 17 years, using only public transportation), I was worried a car salesperson would try to take advantage of me. Instead, John was professional, kind, patient, helpful, direct and willing to answers my endless questions. When test driving, I asked to drive on the freeway, to have John drive me in the front passenger seat, and then the backseat. I asked him to walk me through multiple permutations each of buying and leasing a 2026 Sportage EX. He do so, happily and patiently. He never pressured me or tried to shmooze me. I decided to lease a 2026 Sportage EX. Has been an amazing experience all around! Thanks so much, John!! Kia should acknowledge John's stellar performance. Truly! (He did not ask me to write this. I sought out how to provide feedback bc he was so wonderful! ). read more

Moe was great salesman help us out a lot was patient and easy to work with, without pressuring us to buy something. read more

Had a warranty recall so I schedule an appointment with Putnam Kia. I've never had any issues with my Kia Soul. Today, I had an issue turning the key so I reached my for manual & realize the worker(s) from this dealer repair shop took my Manuel & dump all my paperwork in the Zip-LOK bag the manual in. The manual came with my car. WHY? The workers have access to manuals so I don't understand why they felt the need to take my manual out my glove compartment. Please consider before taking your car here otherwise remove EVERYTHING from your car. read more

My husband and I had a great experience working with Rishi at Putnam Kia in Burlingame. He really took the time to listen to what we were looking for and made sure we got exactly what we wanted -- no pressure, no rush, just genuine care and professionalism. Rishi made sure we were a priority, even though we were a walk-in and he was closing another deal. He went above and beyond to make the entire process stress-free, answered all of our questions, and helped us walk away with a fantastic deal on a brand new Sportage. It's rare to find a salesperson who truly values customer satisfaction the way he does. If you're looking for someone who is honest, friendly, and will go the extra mile to make sure you're happy with your purchase, ask for Rishi Shrimali at Putnam Kia Burlingame -- you won't be disappointed! read more

After I left a bad review they called the next day to try and make it right. They were able to get me a partial refund on the warranty I can't use. The only problem is I paid cash for it and it was refunded to my loan because whoever did the paperwork didn't do it correctly. I appreciate them trying to make it right but unfortunately the way the initial car purchase was handled was wrong in several ways. read more

John was super helpful, communicative, and knowledgeable. My partner bought her car from him three years ago and was pleased. I just got a Kia Niro with him and am equally happy with his service and support! read more

I recieved support from John to purchase my 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid. John was INCREDIBLE from start to finish! I can't say enough about my experience! He went above and beyond to make the buying experience easy and seamless. John was knowledge, calm, and answered all my questions about the car. I would HIGHLY recommend going to Putnam Kia for your car buying experience, and I owe John a great deal making it a positive one! read more

I recommend working with Luke in Sales. He is knowledgeable, communicative, friendly, and not pushy at all - hes there to help support what's going to work best for you! I've also had a great experience in the service department, especially with Chris. Overall, I've had a wonderful experience at Putnam Kia. read more

In at 6:30 out by 7:30, fastest car purchasing process ever. John Elgelda made it an easy process. No surprised pricing, no upsells, none of that. read more

It is my first time buying a Kia and I really didn't expect much at the beginning. The experience turns out great. I got a car with a reasonable price and some discounts. I saved a lot compared to buying at other manufacturers. Samantha and the manager are very helpful, attentive, and nice. I will recommend shopping here. Financing and paperworks are done pretty quickly. read more

Rishi was very good. Very easy to work with. The finance department (Jude) tried to sell me bunch of maintenance plans, and I declined, but Jude didn't push. He was great. We bought my spouse's Mazda from Putnam Mazda 5 years ago, good experience then also, and hence came back to the Putnam family for my Kia because of that. Keep up the great work. read more

On June 17th one of my friends went to this dealership he was trying to get a Kia Sorento so he called me because was his first time buying a brand new car so he puts on the phone the "MANAGER" his name is FRANCISCO so I was trying to negotiate with him the APR and the price also because was high compared with the Kia Serramonte and he was completely DISRESPECTFUL almost YELLING AT ME through the phone telling me I didn't know how the price and everything works of course he was trying to excuse because my friend he didn't know how to make the deal and me I know how to make the deal he was giving to him the 23.33% APR in a brand new car so ABSURD. We went to Envision Toyota and my friend got at BRAND NEW Toyota Crown Limited with the 10.00% APR don't buy a SHIT in this dealership KIA PUTNAM should FIRED this "MANAGER" read more

What an amazing experience. I had walked in less than an hour to close and Rishi was kind enough to show me a Kia sportage hybrid AND allow me to take it for a test drive. I was in the car market and was test driving a lot of cars and fell in love with this one. Rishi was not pushy whatsoever he gave me his card and the next week I ended up buying a car from him. The experience was truly very smooth and Rishi and Francisco were super helpful. I've had my new car for almost a week and Rishi has been checking in to see how it's going and if I have any questions which is truly very appreciating he is following the process even after buying the car. It shows he cares for his customers. Thank you for making my experience truly memorable! read more

The service manager, Chris let me just say that the customer service was top tier and how easy he made this whole process made me feel so great and at ease, even if I didn't have a Kia, I would want to bring it here still because of how easy he has made it for me. I haven't been anywhere ever where they made the process this easy for me and helped me fix my car under warranty. I didn't feel intimidated as a woman by myself. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that my car is fully fixed but I believe that it is thank you again Chris. Patrick is awesome too love it there! read more

Ok let's get real. This is just a service department for a multinational corporation. Or is it? My people, this place is where to go for your Kia fixes and maintenance. My peeps Patrick, Eric and Chris are just real people not some tow the line screw the owner robots. You'll be greeted in the office by three kind and patient professionals who do their bestest to provide excellent customer service. There are sooo many places to get service but these gentledudes have got the knowledge and understanding of how to fix according to Kia specs using Kia parts that are delivered to the service dept really quickly. I've used them multiple times for standard maintenance/software updates and a couple quirks on my 2024 EV9 and they've kept it in super shape, giving me the confidence to put over 18k miles on it in 6 months of use. Just remember - they are beholden to Kia corporate policy so they HAVE to offer different maintenance packages. It's their job. But they just want your car to run according the data of what works best from Kia itself. You make the call. They just love to fix things. Also three things of note: Putnam service provides a fricking video of what they are doing in service (and why - noice), give you two credits for Uber to get you home and back AND will give the car a wash afterwards. Peace. Of. Mind. Shout out again to Patrick (king of golf swing), Eric and Chris for making it a really pleasant place to drop off the vehicle and leave knowing awesome mechanics have taken care of you mechanical baby. Oh and if I got Chris's name wrong, my bad, just doing my best to represent. Thanks! read more

We had a pleasant experience buying a new car here at KIA Burlingame. Rishi had good communication on the phone and helped us with the process of choosing the exact car, letting us know what the different colors were and explained all the details of the car features and functionality. Rishi was polite and let us know about the pricing and financing options, promotions, and each step of the buying process when we were there. After that Ilorna helped us finalize the finance and maintenance terms. The whole process was timely and straight forward. My wife and I are happy with the purchase of this car and we drove off with it that day. read more
