    Revised lease payment . After calling out salesman and showing him their website pricing of the vehicle

    I had been looking for a car for a few weeks and decided I wanted to buy a 2026 Kia EV9, so I looked online at different Kia dealerships to see where I could find the best deal. I found a few that offered a similar price Kia of Irvine, Kia of Tustin and Cerritos. I live closer to Tustin so I decided to go there. Nowadays if you go online many dealerships have the exact price details and breakdown online, I assumed it was to add transparency. I get to Kia of Tustin and had to sign in at the kiosk which was weird, usually sales people approach you before you make it to the front door. My salesperson was Keyvan Riazati, I told him I just wanted to test drive the EV9 so we do. During the entire test drive he was on his phone, he wasn't listening to me ask him questions so I had to repeat myself and he seemed to overall be disinterested in his job and didn't know anything really about the car. At this point I should have asked for another salesperson but since it really didn't matter who sold me the car because I already knew the price from the website. Anyway we go upstairs to start the paperwork. I have a very high credit score so I knew there would be no issues with that. I leased the car as I would recommend most people do with an electric vehicle. He brought back the payment summary and it was nearly double of what it should be! $1,167 instead of around $700 based on $0 down and their numbers were based on 10,000 miles a year. The $700/month online is based on 12,000 miles a year and it was still substantially lower. I'm very good at crunching numbers so I did some mathband reviewed the summary. The dealer suddenly changed the Residual to me $7,000 less than it was online for the same exact car. This is a very shady tactic that you all should be aware of. The residual is the estimated value of the car at the end of the lease term, this matters because the lease payments are based on the current value minus the residual. So a lower residual means a larger lease payment. I noticed this immediately and questioned Keyvan about it and he knew I knew what he was trying to do. Very shady and disrespectful behavior. They talk about buying a car and being part of the Tustin Kia family but at least Keyvan wasn't very forth coming. I showed him on their website the car and what it showed the residual as and also the dealer discount listed and he goes to "talk to the manager". He comes back and wow the price suddenly drops down to the $700 it should have always been! I asked him what happened and why the price was so different and he literally had no response. The sales manager was Donald Smalley, I'm not sure which one of the two is doing things like this but it is very wrong to clearly list the price breakdown on your website and have such a massive difference like this. Once confronted with this they ended up changing it to what it showed on their website. Was this a gross negligence or intentional scam, I would say it was 100% intentional. These people do this every day, they definitely know the prices, residual values and rebates. Please be aware of this classic car sales scam, do your research know the residual value. It is easy to find online at many dealer websites. Then after this whole ordeal Keyvan fills out his own customer survey, yes he reviewed himself! I didn't realize this until I was going to the documents, super wrong of him because I definitely would have left him a true honest review like I am doing now. To add on top of this all I waited 2.5 hrs upstairs for a finance manager, Keyvan never came back to check on us probably because he already filled out my customer survey for himself. The finance manager was actually very cool and helpful, but Keyvan should be reprimanded for his behavior unless that's just how things are done at Tustin Kia. See attached photos

Their prices are the most fair in the area, but the quality, the skill, the knowledge that were provided was TOP NOTCH. Very honest and knows alot about cars. They deserve your business and referrals. I called them and they were able to squeeze us in after I told him we had an urgent case and needed their help. He found more issues that other shops probably wouldnt have caught. Auto scientists with MAD SKILLS. Arnold educated and guided me and we were able to make the best and right decision on the vehicle. Thanks man!

If you need a pre-purchase inspection or any auto repair, whether it be european, american, japanese made, etc, and EVs, take your car here and don't think twice. We reached out to Arnold for a pre-purchase inspection. While six other places quoted us $250-$350 for a "comprehensive" inspection, we paid Arnold $100, which was a STEAL for what he did, even more than what the others promised. He spent at least two hours thoroughly checking the vehicle, test driving it and walking us through every detail so we truly understood its condition. We were looking at buying an Audi Q4 e-tron that had a damage report. A reputable dealership told us it was "minor" and offered to take it to the mechanic for our peace of mind. After browsing Yelp and reading the amazing reviews, we decided to come here instead and I'm so glad we did. I had already done my due diligence and familiarized myself with the vehicle and potential issues. I asked Arnold very specific, technical questions that I already knew the answers to. He answered every single one with clarity and confidence and everything I was expecting to hear. My husband stayed the entire time, and Arnold patiently explained everything while inspecting the car. You can tell he was that kid that made the auto shop his playground growing up. He's passionate, meticulous, and GENUINELY cares. What impressed me most is that Arnold will never pressure you. He won't tell you "don't buy it," but he will clearly explain what could go wrong and what it might cost to fix. When I pressed him for his honest opinion, he said he personally wouldn't buy it at the listed price but if we negotiated it lower, then it might be worth considering. That level of honesty is RARE. They are your small local auto shop but I would choose them over any flashy, grandiose service center any day. Their integrity and transparency make them stand out. Thank you so much, Arnold and your dad, for the amazing service. We ended up just buying a Tesla!

Gino, great guy at the front desk is the first great sign. He says Jose is one of the nicest people ever, couldn't agree more. Definitely helped me out while I was going through a lot.

My request went through the Yelp Project page first and Jose was very fast with his response. He told me I could come in on a Friday morning as a walk in. Gino who took care of my intake was very friendly and made me feel welcome. They also had a comfy waiting area stocked with complimentary coffee and snacks, but I didn't need to wait long because I was out of there within an hour, oil changed and tires rotated. Their prices are fair and they accept both credit card and cash/Zelle (if you want to avoid the 3% credit card surcharge). During the oil change they also noted some things that will need repair, but weren't pushy with their recommendations. For that I am very appreciative, and will most definitely come back for their continued services.
