I honestly can't say enough good things about Hunter. Buying a truck has always felt like a chore…read moreto me--pushy salespeople, confusing numbers, and just an overall exhausting process. But HUNTER COMPLETELY CHANGED THAT !!!. From the moment I walked in, he treated me like a friend, not a sales target. He listened to what I actually needed (and could afford), never once tried to upsell me, and was super transparent the whole way through. I felt taken care of and heard, not taken advantage of. He even followed up after the sale just to make sure everything was good and that I was happy and satisfied with the truck--which I totally am. I've been driving it around loving every moment and still smile every time I get in. If you're even thinking about buying a car, truck or whatever it is if you know what's best for you please go see Hunter. He's no joke He's the real deal !!! I've purchased 2 vehicles from him a brand new jeep and a beautiful ram 1500 !!! He is honestly the best salesman I've ever met !!! Keep it up brother !!

Bad and COSTLY experience. Don't be fooled by the smiling faces and very "friendly" persona of the…read moreservice writer. Every time I asked to see the service tech video of the the problem I was told the "system is down". I asked that the video be msg to my phone. They would not send it. Went in for oil change on my GMC Terrain. Was told there was a very slight drip from transmission and that it needed to be repaired before it got worse. Service writer said it is probably a seal. Even though I had never seen any evidence of fluid leaks on the floor of my garage where the car lives, I said fix it because I did not want to have an expense down the road. Service writer also said to get it done before the 3 year bumper to bumper ran out so the cost would be covered by the warranty. Sounds like it made sense. The "repair" was made. Unfortunately I noticed transmission fluid on my garage floor the very next day. Took the car back to Trent. Service writer said it may be a transmission case but this time they fixed an axle seal. The axle had NOT been leaking before they "fixed" the transmission "leak. Next day I again noticed new transmission fluid on my garage floor. Took the car back to Trent. Service writer said it was probably the transmission case warped. They worked on the car again. By this time I was completely unhappy with the Terrain and the dealership service center. I did research and saw that the terrain and other GM products had an ongoing problem with transmission leaks. I got the impression that the Terrain was not a reliable car for my wife to drive anymore. Decided that I needed to trade it in and by a more reliable vehicle for my wife to drive. This experience cost me thousands of dollars. I have a gut feeling that the service writer and dealer service center (because of their sloppy repair) screwed me royal.

First and last experience with Kia of New Bern was a tremendous disappointment. To be clear, my…read morereview is not against any one person as everyone we dealt with was courteous. It is their financing policies that I base my review on, and potential buyers with less than perfect credit need to be aware of this. I took my college student there to inquire about a specific car that was listed for about $7K. We were told by the finance manager that it would be hard to get financing for it various reasons. Then we were showed another used car that cost a little more but seemed reasonable and well cared for. I made it abundantly clear that we wanted price and payments to be below a certain figure and that, while her credit history was excellent, her credit history was less than a year. Okay, not a problem we were told and she should qualify. Then they came back to tell me she would actually need a co-signer and could I co-sign. I made it clear that due to family matters beyond my control, my credit score suffered and it was only 'fair', so I did not think I could help her qualify. Again, not a problem we were told. What they did not tell us, however, that they would run SIX (yes six) hard inquiries on both of our credit reports. I did not find this out until after we left - when they asked me to come back with proof of income (I receive automatic credit report notifications). Obviously, this had a negative impact on my credit score, which I made very clear I was working to bring it back up. We NEVER provided authorization to run both of our credit reports SIX times. They had authorization to run it once through their dealership. Had I been told they would run multiple hard inquiries, we would not have agreed and would have just left. After realizing what they did, I went in to complain to the Sales Manager, and he informed me that this was 'standard practice' with auto loans. Well, if that's the case, then customers should most certainly be able to choose whether or not they want multiple hard inquiries on the credit report - especially those who do not have perfect credit and are working to bring it up. It's called informed consent. After speaking with the Sales Manager and politely explaining my discontent over what was clearly poor sales/financing practices, I was later contacted by another Sales Manager and told that they were able to offer financing. However, I responded by stating I wanted to know the precise terms for the car we looked at before we went any further. Then I was told that the car was no longer available but that we could come in and look at other cars and then terms could be discussed. We declined and opted to go somewhere else where there was more transparency. Kia of New Bern is part of New Bern Auto Group and has several dealerships in New Bern. It's motto is "We don't sell cars - we help people buy them." Based upon my experience, I disagree.

Very frustrating to work with. My wife was stranded when our 2024 Telluride that we purchased new…read morehad an electrical issue that kept her from being able to get into and then to start the car - entire car was just 'dead'. She called Kia and after speaking to the receptionist was forwarded to a voice mail in the service department. She left two messages but no one ever returned her call. After some the car just came back on but it was not the first time this had happened. Fast forward a week - I made an appointment with the service department, describing these symptoms and the more disturbing recent symptom that the car had on two or three occasions just 'reboot' momentarily and during that moment, lock the steering wheel while driving. I explained that we needed a loaner car and was assured that we would have one and they would confirm the day before. Since we never heard from Kia of New Bern yesterday, my wife called on her way to her scheduled 9am appointment during her 40 minute drive to confirm the loaner car and was told they had no loaner car and were not aware that we needed one. This is just awful service. This is an issue that should be a priority. This is our first Kia and we are certainly reconsidering our purchase.

After about 1 1/2 weeks I got quoted $11,000 for the transmission along with a 3 year 30,000 mile warranty. They wanted $5,000 for the part (which is the actual price for the part), and then $6,000 for 13 hours of labor, which comes out to $461.50 an HOUR for labor. During the entire process I was told I would be getting calls back to update me on what the technician found, but I always had to call them first. Maybe once did I ever get an actual call from them over the course of the 1 1/2 weeks. I ended up taking my vehicle to AAMCO in Greenville, who quoted me 10 hours of labor at $6,000 total ($5,000 for the part and $1,000 for labor along with a 3 year unlimited mile warranty). Bottom line: Do NOT use this dealer. Customer service is terrible and they will scam you out of as much money as possible.
