    I recently had an outstanding experience at the Kia service department where my husband and I purchased our daughter's used Kia (she had upgraded to a new vehicle). As longtime Toyota owners, this was our first experience with Kia, and we were thoroughly impressed. We initially made a routine appointment for an oil change at the dealership, where we met our service advisor, Destiny. She has single-handedly turned us into fans of this dealership. After years of dealing with various service advisors, working with Destiny was refreshingly different. What made her service exceptional: She proactively informed us about our daughter's extended warranty that was nearing expiration. She then had mechanics perform a complete vehicle inspection, which revealed two repairs that could be made at no cost under the warranty. Her communication was outstanding. She kept us well-informed about parts ordering and, most importantly, arranged for a loaner car since we only have one vehicle. The loaner she provided had just 300 miles on it - what a treat to drive an almost brand-new car while ours was being serviced! We've been very impressed with Kia so far and plan to continue using this dealership exclusively for our service needs.

    Had an amazing experience with their service department! Paul Steenman had us in and out in one day with a diagnostic for an oil leak that they immediately addressed and fixed! Got a great deal on a set of 4 tires with an alignment and with a rebate! Honest pricing and fantastic service and communication through the whole experience! Thank You Paul and Ken Garff Kia!

    5 STARS - BEST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE EVER!! If I could give 100 stars, I WOULD. After weeks of stress, haggling, and dealing with slick-talking salespeople at other dealerships who couldn't seem to listen or deliver--walking into Ken Garff Kia and meeting Samantha Burke was like stepping into a whole new world. Let me just say this: SAMANTHA. IS. THE. TRUTH. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel like family. She was warm, knowledgeable, zero-pressure, and genuinely excited to help us find what WE wanted--not what they were trying to push. After being jerked around by other dealers, we were exhausted. But Samantha took the time to actually listen to our frustrations, and she worked her MAGIC. We told her what we wanted, and not only did she deliver--she got us into a 2025 KIA K4 that's practically straight off a spaceship. Sleek, tech-loaded, and an absolute dream to drive. And the price? An UNREAL deal that other places told us wasn't even possible. Samantha made this the EASIEST and most ENJOYABLE car-buying experience of our lives. No gimmicks, no games, just real talk and RESULTS. I don't know what kind of superpowers she has, but give that woman a raise, a crown, and her own billboard! If you're tired of the runaround, GO SEE SAMANTHA BURKE at Ken Garff Kia. She's a queen, a legend, and the only reason I'll ever buy a car anywhere again. Thank you, Samantha--we are OBSESSED with our new ride!

    I have texts and emails to prove it.

    Jon Velasco was absolutely incredible! I originally came in looking at a used Acura, but…read moreunfortunately I wasn't approved for it. Jon didn't give up on me, he went above and beyond, pulled so many strings, and somehow made it happen for our family. I ended up leaving in a BRAND NEW 2026 Honda Pilot, which is honestly better than I could have imagined! With our third baby on the way, having a safe, spacious, comfortable family vehicle means so much to me. Knowing all three of my babies will be riding comfortably from now on is the best feeling. Jon genuinely cared about getting us into something that worked for our growing family, and I couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for someone who will actually work for you and do everything he can to make it happen, GO SEE JON VELASCO! Thank you so much, Jon!

Found a coupon for Timing Belt Replacement starting at $399.95, called to ask about it. Was told they were about 4 days behind, gave me an appointment about a week out. Was ok with that. Husband and I took off work to go to appt, found out it was at least 4 days for the actual work to get done. I was dropping off on a Friday and wouldn't get the car until Thursday is what I was told. They might have gotten it to me earlier if possible. Then was asked if we were aware of the pricing, we said we had a coupon for it to be $399.95 or so, knowing it would be a little more because that is normal. She told us it would be $1750. We asked why, was told it was a package deal and a serpentine belt and something else would be done also. They charge for each thing separately, including the labor hours, even though it is all done at one time. We asked if we could just do the coupon and they told us no, it was a package deal and it was a discount. Chris, Thank you for your response to the review. As you stated, when we were there you explained the price and why, not when the original appointment was made a week ago. Upfront pricing is always appreciated. We also did not ask for a serpentine belt or tensioner, we specifically requested to not have those. We did ask about the water pump, and did understand that would be an extra price. Would have been happy to have not had that done either if it was an option and the "coupon" price was given. I do appreciate that you responded but please make sure the facts are straight before you respond to the post again. Regards, Kristen Henninger

They thought the problem was solved, but as soon as I picked her up and pulled off the lot the lights came back on. I brought her back, and they gave me a loaner and said they'd take a look. My man Josh Ballard stayed in constant communication throughout, even sending me pictures of the progress as they tried to get to the root of what was going on. It took about three weeks but eventually they got it figured out and I was able to come pick her up. They really are a great crew, and they'll make it right.

    I ultimately purchased the vehicle and, so far, I'm happy with it. However, I was extremely…read moredisappointed with how the sales process was handled. We spent a considerable amount of time going back and forth negotiating the purchase price and monthly payment. Throughout that process, every payment worksheet I reviewed reflected a 72-month loan. After several rounds of negotiations, they finally presented me with the vehicle I wanted most at a price that, while a little higher than I'd hoped, was still within the maximum I was willing to pay. Feeling like we had finally reached an agreement, I signed the paperwork. It wasn't until afterward that I realized the financing term had changed from 72 months to 84 months. At no point during the negotiation or signing process did anyone mention that the loan term had been extended by an additional 12 months. Had that been clearly disclosed, I would have had a very different conversation before signing. I fully acknowledge that I signed the paperwork, and I take responsibility for not catching the change. However, I believe customers should be able to trust that such a significant change will be clearly pointed out rather than quietly appearing in the final documents after hours of negotiating around a 72-month payment. Whether intentional or not, the experience felt misleading and left me questioning the dealership's integrity. While I'm happy with the vehicle itself, I would not recommend this dealership based on my purchasing experience. Buying a car should leave you excited, not wondering whether important financing terms changed at the last minute. Literally cried at the end of signing my documents due to me not carefully reading the terms and my multiple sales person's not telling me they extended it by 12 months. This does explain why it took so long for financing to see me. It feels extremely shady. Outside of that customer service and the vehicle are amazing. I am torn because I loved everything else - just wish they'd been more up front with me **the business reply is ironic. After reaching out I still hear crickets. They don't care what tactics are used...so long as a car is sold

We were searching for a 2026 Jeep Rubicon and couldn't find anything on the lot or even within 10 miles online. Yelena Pavon didn't stop there--she took the initiative to check the delivery lot and came back with the exact vehicle we ended up buying. That level of effort and dedication is rare and definitely deserves recognition. Mario handled the deal and was fantastic to work with. He was flexible, solution-focused, and found a creative way to include side steps, which we really wanted. You can tell he cares about making things work for the customer. Aurello Gonzalez in Finance made the paperwork easy--clear, efficient, and professional. The biggest surprise was the follow-through: Yelena Pavon personally delivered the vehicle to our home and picked up our trade-in. That's above-and-beyond service. We would absolutely recommend Yelena Pavon and Mario to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. This team truly earns your business.

When I returned to pick it up, my advisor, Esteban, could not locate my paperwork or vehicle and repeatedly asked if I was sure it was still there. Customer service later asked me to bring the vehicle back and promised the dealership would cover my rental. When I arrived, Esteban again seemed unaware of the appointment. After additional issues were found, he quoted me less than $1,300 and confirmed that their $300-off promotion would apply, bringing my total below $1,000. I authorized the repairs based on that price. When the vehicle was finished, I was suddenly told I owed $1,359.90, with no clear explanation for why the confirmed discount was not reflected. I also asked about a loaner and was told I would receive a call back, but that never happened. I was then told I could be responsible for additional rental days, despite customer service specifically promising rental coverage and the dealership's poor communication delaying the process. The entire experience involved conflicting information, missed follow-ups, an unexplained price increase, and very little assistance from my advisor. This is exactly why customers hesitate to use dealership service departments. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this location and will not return.

Because of how poorly the situation was handled, a service manager personally contacted me, apologized, and promised me THREE FREE OIL CHANGES as compensation. Now that I'm trying to use what was promised, I'm being told there is NO RECORD of the offer. I was then promised another call back to resolve it, and once again, nobody called. I'm not asking for additional compensation or special treatment. I'm asking Gateway Chevrolet to stand behind its word and honor the three free oil changes its own manager promised me. At this point, it's not about the oil changes. It's about whether a customer can trust a commitment made by dealership management. I would appreciate someone from Gateway Chevrolet contacting me and making this right. Until then, I cannot recommend this service department.

    I had a very disappointing experience at this dealership Echo Park Avondale, AZ…read more I scheduled a visit to test drive a vehicle I found online and arrived prepared to purchase the vehicle with my own financing already secured. Unfortunately, after spending more than 90 minutes at the dealership, I never even got to see or test drive the vehicle. My salesperson, Kim ( a dishonest,disheveled, incompetent ,ungroomed, inappropriate unprofessional man), repeatedly failed to provide basic information I requested. When I asked for the battery State of Health (SOH) report, I was instead shown tire tread information. It took approximately 40 minutes just to receive a copy of the Carfax report. He wanted me to look at his iPad when I asked for a paper copy. I was told the dealership could not locate the vehicle key because another employee, Hayden, had checked it out and was on lunch. I waited over an hour and a half for the key to be returned, but the vehicle was never made available. I was later told that I would receive a call once the key was returned. When I asked to speak with a manager, Austin came out and assured me that someone would follow up. As of today, I have still not received any communication from either the salesperson or management. I also requested a call from the General Manager and have not received a response. The only employee who provided professional and courteous customer service was Michelle, who handled appointment scheduling. Overall, I felt my time was not respected, communication was poor, and the dealership was unprepared to assist a customer who was ready to purchase a vehicle. Based on my experience, I would recommend that potential buyers do thorough research and ask detailed questions before doing business here.

My second vehicle purchase from LHM VW in Avondale and likely will not be my last. Just a great experience every time.

Oscar providing reassurance that as a returning customer, they'd take care of me (and they did). Ed doesn't try to jam any F&I adds down your throat either, gave me the sheet, 100% let me decide if there was anything I wanted or had interest in.
