In the middle of a 112º Phoenix day the week of July 4th ....my AC finally went out on my 2012 Kia Forte5. Came back to the expertise of Trevor Hodge (who got me in the next day!) and his crew to get a new AC system, plus a scheduled 3-point fuel system clean up/flush, new spark plugs, radiator flush, oil change, engine air filter, and they even pulled a superficial nail head out of a tire. Was it all cheap? Nope. Was it all worth it? Yep. As usual, the prices at this dealership, IMO, are fair if not slightly lower than most Kia dealerships in the area. My biggest plus for this location? HONESTY and SKILL. I know from experience that Trevor and his team will never tell me I need something that I don't, or make out that something is an "emergency" when it is not. Now, the AC is blowing strong and cold again, I'm getting better gas mileage, and know that my car won't overheat in this extreme weather. Peace of mind for our cars is hard to find and even harder to keep. If that's what you're looking for with your Kia, this might just be your favorite dealership. read more

They use remanufactured (used) parts for warranty and service repairs. The nearby Kia dealer uses only OEM parts. Spent 4 hours in noisy area attempting to buy a new 2026 Sportage. Could not get a clear OTD price. My wife and I left very fatigued. Would not match nearby Kia dealer's price until the next day after I had already purchased the identical Sportage at the other dealer.. Each time I contacted them I got a different sales person and had to start everything all over in a week long . I had purchased two Kias from them in the past 15 years. read more

I wasted $300 over a miscommunication. When you're getting work done on a car, please ensure that everything is clear as day. Last week I came in with my car and spoke to a technician. We were both in agreement that my starter might need to be replaced. My car was then handed down to Alex. I called and mentioned the starter and if that looks like that's the issue, let's go ahead and replace it. The next morning I received a list of things to "fix" that were unrelated to my issue (nothing was listed about the starter). So I declined and received a phone call where I asked "is there anything on that list that you think will fix my problem?" He replied saying "the battery." Among the list, there was a "battery maintenance" so I thought this is what he had meant. I went ahead and agreed to go ahead with that. The reason I had assumed this was because prior to coming here, I had my battery tested by 2 places and both said my battery was fine. I had also mentioned this to the first technician. So, to my surprise, I found out Alex had replaced my battery and basically wasted my money for something I didn't need! Guess what? My car still doesn't function correctly on top of that! Thanks guys! To reply: you didn't communicate properly what work you'd be doing on my car. So yeah, not great. read more

Johnny helped us purchase two new cars last week. Negotiating via Messenger and it was a great transaction. He's honest, caring and compassionate and straightforward. Never had a better experience with a car salesman. read more

Great service department! Very professional and helpful. Minimal wait time and service rep. Was very helpful.

Received a dealer notice that it was time for some maintenance on my 2025 Seltos. Stopped in and made the appointment with in 1 minute. Trevor Hodge was very friendly and pulled up my info immediately. Took the car in this past Saturday and all was handled promptly and efficiently. The said an hour and that is exactly how long it took. This dealership seems to do all things right and respects their customers. read more

I went in person to talk about the key and the general manager I believe came to me to talk personally saying when I first calls in about the key not working he wasn't there and the sales person I was working with didn't have the authority to fix it without him there he offered to have a person come to my house and fix it for me free of charge and apologize for the situation he was very kind about it and fixed it quickly once I saw him. The person who came to fix my key was very kind and came the next day he finished quicker than the estimate given and ended up giving me a new key because the old one couldn't be fixed so now I have 2 keys. While the key person was there he also did my moms key he ended up discounting my moms key he gave her and he was very sweet I'm not 100% sure why he discontinued but he was very sweet and we appreciated it. read more

Horrible experience, Bought a car and it turned out they sold us it with a broken side window and it was not broken and they say we were lying and wouldn't pull up camera footage and the manger was very rude and aggressive and claimed it wasn't like this when i had sent photos to him right after i saw this. Horrible experience horrible staff read more

See all

Took my car to Kia Earnhardt Peoria for an oil change, tire rotation, and recall fix. Once again, the oil was overfilled and splattered everywhere. After I pointed it out, the service manager, Alexander Smith, said they'd fix it--yet 45 minutes later, nothing had changed. When I brought it up again, he shrugged and walked away. Worst of all, they disconnected both of my children's car seats without telling me. They looked secure, so I drove off--and my 2-year-old's seat tipped over while he was strapped in. He was hurt, and it could have been much worse. My 3-month-old son was not in the vehicle at the time -- otherwise the situation could have been far worse. This is extremely unsafe and unprofessional. My lawyer has been notified. I will never return. NOTE: I called on 11/26/25 regarding this matter and was told the service manager was on "vacation". It's 12/2/25 and I still haven't received a call back. read more

I recently bought a 25 Kia Sportage SX. The experience was great. I would highly recommend Earnhardt Kia. I put in a request to get some information on a vehicle. I received a call n txt right away. I would also like to say a special shout out to Johnny. Pearlsteon he went above and beyond to make experience great!! If you needed a new vehicle, I would go to Earnhardt Kia and ask for Johnny. Thank you to all for your help! I love my new Kia! read more

Just picked up a Certified pre-owned EV6 and we're very happy with both the car and our buying experience. Melynda walked us through the buying process from beginning to end and she made the sale easy, quick and enjoyable. She was well versed with the product and listened carefully to our questions and concerns during the test drive and she addressed every one of them before delivering the final product! Her attention to detail and follow through was impressive! One of our goals was to take advantage of the federal tax credit and she worked very hard with her manager to make it happen. They offered us more than we expected for our trade and the sale went smoothly from that point on. Joe from the financial department ensured that the paperwork was processed promptly and didn't try to hold us hostage by trying to sell us unnecessary products. At the end, Melynda even threw in a new set of floor mats to sweeten the deal! Admittedly, the overall customer experience rivaled or even bettered our past two purchases from Cadillac and Audi! Make sure to ask for her if you're buying your next car here. As a side note, a day after the purchase, we were unable to register the car in the Kia app due to the previous owner still tied to the car. We notified Melynda and she took care of it in no time. We can now enjoy the benefits of the Kia app. Great job Melynda and a big THANKS from John and myself!!! read more

Viktor was the man! Jordan/Mario were great with finance along with the whole crew on the floor. We got a great deal on a great vehicle. Never felt pressured or rushed to do anything. Overall best car buying/selling experience I have ever had. read more

I was greeted at the door by Rene whose professional and pleasant attitude was energizing. Rene promptly had all my information pulled up and reviewed my car service details. I was giving him an estimated completion time which they meet. I would highly recommend when buying a new Kia that you get the maintenance and paint protection program which in the long run is a very good deal. From start to finish Earnhardt Kia takes great care of you. read more

Service Deptartment sucks. Can't make on appointment online. AI makes the appointments on the phone. Can not ever reach a live person on the phone in the service department. Service Advisors don't follow through as promised. In 10 years, I have never had a positive experience with the service department read more

I ended up going to Earnhardt Peoria Kia because of my bad experiences with Ken Garff Kia. My car's AC was blowing warm right as the heat turned up here in AZ. My car was under warranty and I took it in. Justin and the team took care of the car so well. They found out the AC compressor had a defect. Completed a full compressor replacement, freon recharge, throttle body service and coolant flush in a couple of hours. Car is good as new. Dropped it off at 9 AM and the car was ready for pickup around 2 PM. Very impressed! I am glad I made the drive to this location! read more

Chuck, Zach and Elijah were amazing helps in finding my new car. I showed up about an hour before I needed to be at my work that is just down the street. I was greeted quickly but not forcefully by Zach who was extremely helpful in showing me the cars I was initially looking for. I explained my situation, which was extremely difficult. I have excellent credit, but just totaled my last car and insurance wouldn't cover it. I gave them my monthly budget and Zach went to get Chuck, who was honest, kind and worked extremely hard to find a car that would work for me. My budget was $425 at the most. We went through multiple different cars trying to find one that I could get. I came in, met with Chuck and Elijah, and found a 2025 white kia soul that I fell in love with. Unfortunately that one was out of my budget, so they worked extremely hard to find the closest thing we could get. Chuck and Zach got me into a red 2021 kia soul with 41,000 miles on it. They got it into my budget and I am so incredibly grateful for all three of them. read more

We had a very pleasant and great experience with Earnhardt Peoria KIA . Our salesman Zach Efort was fantastic to work with. Very patient and knowledgeable about our sportsge prestiage with all its technology features it had.

Leo the finance manager was also very easy to work with and explained everything in a timely manner. This was our best experience in buying a new car we've had at any dealerships we've done business with . read more

I just want to say that I had the best customer care in the entire world here. I had a pleasure to meet with Melynda who was an AMAZING sales rep. She was very professional and also made me very comfortable with all decisions. She went ABOVE AND BEHIND to make sure I got the deal of a life time on a 2025 Kia K5 GT. The entire time Melynda had answered all questions that I had and made sure to keep in contract with me every step of the way. I highly recommend Melynda to anyone who has the opportunity and privilege to work with her. read more

Earnhardt Peoria Kia - Car Dealers Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Stopped in at the service department yesterday at 4; Justin was great! Thanks Earnhardt Peoria Kia!

BEWARE! Initially they seemed great, they got me into a vehicle that fit my needs and was at a tolerable monthly price point. Financing took forever, but was told that the in house financing picked up the loan and " we even got you a lower monthly payment!". I signed all purchase agreements, left with purchase contract, plates in my name and vehicle registration and when about life. 10 days after purchase I received a call from Leo in finance saying I needed to come in and resign finance documents. When I asked for reasoning, he said he needed to change a few things on them and I just needed to sign them again. I asked if the changes would increase payment, he said "only by a couple dollars" when I asked for new monthly payment he quoted a payment that $35 dollars more than our agreed on payment (which was already nearing my max comfort price) I told him I already had a signed purchase agreement and wouldn't be signing anything new. He reassured me that it would be taken care of and that original agreement would be honored. Another 10 days went by and I heard nothing, assuming it had all been sorted out, but noticed my previous car had not been paid off. I called and spoke with Early, who was condescending and told me he would call by Monday to "present my options". When I clarified that present my options meant higher payment, more down payment or vehicle return he said " basically". I did make him aware that my constantly car sick child had already christened the vehicle with vomit and he said " that's fine we can detail it". 3 WEEKS AFTER "purchase" I was told they wanted the car back or a ton of cash over what we agreed. I WAS FORCED to bring back a vehicle that I had a signed purchase agreement on. A few days after return, I pulled my credit report and they have submitted so much against it, that I have a 84 point drop in score, so a previous great credit score, was destroyed by this dealership. I have purchased many vehicles, a few in similar circumstances and never once have I encounter something like this. I would advise anyone considering Earnhardt Kia to STAY FAR AWAY. Refund of my down payment too 3 days to return. The individual I spoke with multiple times regarding return stated " they are good at removing the money, but not so great at giving it back" Bottom line, business practice of this dealership is legally questionable and sketchy at best. They lie to move cars. I believe they sold the vehicle knowing that they were going ask for vehicle back. Save yourself the headache and the financial doom they will cause. Initial response from dealership states that I as the buyer was not transparent however, I came in completely transparent, actually came in holding the credit score report from previous dealer score of 723, sales manager handed me a paper identical, with a score of 723. As reported by Earl, finance decided to present to the bank as a 740, FALSIFYING the finance information they presented. Repeatedly Earl (finance director) states " you have great credit, I would lend you the money if it were up to me" so please, let's not make false claims about how I presented myself, I came in completely transparent. I was asked to put down $7,000 more than what was agreed on. They claim I was not transparent with credit ( they pulled it on their own)I provided employment, financials and credit access which they also took full liberty of with excessive submissions and use of my credit information . The least the dealership could have done, is own up to their shady and questionable legal practice. They had every opportunity to hold to their original promises. The attempt to insinuate that I was not truthful with the information provided to dealership, was completely expected. It only solidifies the practice of the dealer and their inability to accept fault for their actions read more

This updated review is to let the managers know how amazing Brian from the service department is ! Honest trustworthy and knowledgeable! I honestly know I could go else where but these guys have always treated me right and have taken care of all my cars needs even my older cars .. So thank you read more

It's not the same since Earnhardt took over. Made an appointment to turn in a 2018 Stinger, the Sales Rep was off for the day, ???? Jordan took care of us, he was okay, didn't know how to cancel out On Star Remotes for garage and gates. A Mike assisted was thankful for that. They didn't try and sell me a new vehicle as I had left numerous hints via email and talking with a sales associate. Their loss. Terrible CS read more

trying to get a real person on the phone to make a service appointment or discuss a service need is a no go. then trying to get a receptionist to answer once they've spoken to you is also a no go they just pick up the phone don't speak and transfer the call to the same place no one answers worst customer service. mind you I've bought 10 vehicles from earnhardt and I won't be doing it again!!!! read more

I purchased my car through Trevor and Scott at Earnhardt Kia, and I'm so glad I did! As a first-time car buyer, I really appreciated how helpful and patient they were throughout the entire process. They made everything feel easy and stress-free, and they got me a great deal! I absolutely love my Sportage -- it's been an amazing car so far. Thank you both for making this such a great experience! read more

This dealership is full of dishonest people. When I bought my car, it was advertised at $3k less than what they charged me. When I brought it to their attention, they said that was incorrect. I showed them a picture and they still came up with excuses. I have bought 5 cars from this dealership, and this is the last time. I will not deal with dishonest people. Do yourself a favor and go to Avondale Kia a lot more trustworthy and not greedy. read more

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER AT EARNHARDT KIA WITH OUR SALESWOMEN MELYNDA! After weeks of car shopping and having bad experience after bad experience, meeting Melynda was a breath of fresh air! She made the car buying experience the best! She was no BS, all smiles, and treated us like family! She was knowledgeable about the tech in the car and even helped us set up everything before we drove off! From start to finish she worked harder than any sales person I've ever met! There were no hidden fees, and no deceptive sales tactics. If you come here, ask for Melynda, if she's unavailable, make plans to see her on a different day! You will not regret it! I financed and purchased many cars over the last several years and this was by far the most smooth and fantastic experience I have ever had. This review might be overkill but completely deserved! We felt like we made a friend in the car business and found someone we can trust for all our future car purchase! I want to give a special thank you to Melynda and everyone at Earnhardt Kia Peoria for doing EXACTLY what you promised by taking the best care of us! Dealerships like this are hard to find! The best Kia dealer in the valley! read more

Earnhardt Peoria Kia - Car Dealers Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

My salesman, Idriss Smith was excellent. Informative and patient. Highly recommend.

We are highly satisfied long term customers of Peoria Kia, and highly recommend Peoria Kia for superior sales and service. We have purchased and serviced our Kia vehicles here for over 10 years. Our service advisers (shout out to Brian Thomas) have always been top notch and honest in servicing our vehicles. After shopping many competitor brands and dealers, we also recently purchased 2 new Kia vehicles here a week ago, and the sales process couldn't have gone smoother. We got full transparency on the vehicle pricing and the excellent closing financing process with Dominic. Our sales persons Enrique and Tristan were fantastic in helping us with our 2 vehicle purchases, and the sales manager Scott was great in helping us find the vehicle we wanted, including swapping one of their vehicles with another dealer to get us exactly what we wanted. Compared to the dozen or so other dealers we visited, shopping for cars here at our local trusted Kia dealer couldn't have been easier or smoother. The pricing was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Thanks to the Peoria Kia team for making our car ownership process so easy and enjoyable! read more

Very happy with my service experience. They always get me in at the scheduled time and out ahead of my scheduled time. I won't go to any other Kia dealers, even when they are closer. read more

Great experience on our K4 purchase! Michael went above and beyond to be helpful to our Dad.

Scott and Trevor were awesome to work with! We had the best car buying experience at Earnhardt Kia!

This location was not where I purchased purchased car, however... that dealership was ready to book me in for an appointment and gave me a quote for the replacement. However, that location is not local. Over to Kia on 91st, really happy to find this location. Brian at service was great, was able to quickly identify the issue and get it resolved under warranty. I'll be back for my next Kia for sure. read more

I'll start with if I could I would give 0 stars. If you take the time to read all their reviews you will quickly find that their team and sales manager like to argue with customers. They won't take ownership on their misleading sales practices, poor customer service, and lack of care for the customers they help. I feel that it's my part to help others and save them the stress, drama, and horrible experience. I refuse to engage/reply to any of their team on here to entertain their poor habits. Going back and forth with customers on a Yelp review is proof in the pudding as to why you or anyone you know should not do business with them. You don't want to end up with a inquiry on your credit and no car. They pick and choose their customers which is unethical and is non compliant. If your looking for a new vehicle and and have a price range your looking to stay in I recommend going to Larry H Miller Toyota. Just wanted to thank Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria. For keeping things simple and going above and beyond to help my family and I. After sharing with them my horrible car buying experience at Earnhardt Peoria Kia down the street. I shared with them what I was looking for and they found options to help my family with something that fit our needs. It's nice to have options, and a salesman that truly cares about serving his clients. Tony and his finance team stayed past business hours to follow through and put my family and I first. Truly blessed to have called and connect with Tony! I highly recommend Tony and his team to find you options that fit your needs! My family is feeling blessed to have things end up how they did. read more

I had been going here for years and always had a great experience. After my last oil change and courtesy car wash my side mirrors didn't work. One wouldn't rotate and the other over rotated. I asked if the guy manually closed them for the car wash or were they left out during the car wash. They said it was a coincidence that it broke after the car wash. They offered to pay for the labor but nothing else. So thanks Peoria Kia for my $1000 car wash. I will never go here again read more

3rd car purchased from Earnhardt dealership. Never buying from Peoria Kia again. This was a botched deal and delivery. Car had higher mileage like car was returned to dealer? Between the time we made the deal and took delivery, there was more mileage on the vehicle. Personal items in car - charging cable and prescription sun glasses. Bird turd on auto roof. Multiple attempts to get docs emailed to me. I'd report them to state and Kia but not worth my time. Usually I induce sarcasm into my TORCH reviews nothing funny here. read more

Yet another Kia dealership that likes to play games with people and mislead them. I'm finding that the Earnhardt's are actually full of Bull and will do whatever to screw consumers over. I submitted an inquiry for a K5 EX with Premium package in gravity gray with black interior. As this vehicle is a rare find, I double checked with the salesperson that this vehicle was in stock, which they confirmed it was. I set an appointment for 6:30pm to go look at it. Keep in mind, I live about an hour away from this dealership. Upon arriving, they told me they didn't have the vehicle and that it was dealer traded earlier the same day. The salesperson explained that they could get it back if I was to make a deal. This was a lie because usually once a vehicle is dealer traded, it's because someone at a different dealership is wanting to purchase it. So, the salesman sits down with me an immediately pulls out a credit application. I told him that I wanted to agree on a sales price first and then we can pull credit and whatnot. I told him I did a pre-qualification online and it said my FICO was 830. The salesman very rudely stated, "Ok well if your score isn't an 830 then things are going to change!" No duh but if my score is a 790 vs 830, nothing is going to change so I didn't appreciate that statement. He then took me into his office and told me the internet price, which is what anyone can see by going to the website. Because I didn't want to pull credit right away the salesman didn't want to help me and seemed very disinterested in talking to me. He totally copped an attitude when we went into his office. The worst part of this was when he explained to me that I wouldn't qualify for any of the discounts and that the discount shown was comprised of these ridiculous rebates that don't even exist, so they expected me to pay MSRP less the $1,000 Kia motor finance rebate, which I wouldn't have even taken because the incentivized rate of 1.9% for 72 months yields a better overall savings. The whole thing was extremely dishonest and misleading so I walked out. I'm so tired of the Kia dealerships trying to pull fast ones on people, misleading them, or not disclosing their ridiculous add ons. read more

I just closed on the easiest transaction ever! Scott, Trevor and Earl were amazing. I did all the negotiations via text while I was out of the country and picked up the new car the day I got back. True professionals. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. A+++ read more
