So many reliable cars to chose from!!! The salespeople who work are not pushy and they work with you to find the perfect vehicle!!!

Horrible customer service. Have left multiple messeges and emails with service manager with no response. Sold me a warranty and now wont honor the agreement. Shop somewhere else. read more

They damaged my vehicle when I brought it in for an oil change and tried to steal my brand new wheel lock key. I had to drive back to get the key after I discovered it missing from the cup holder I'd left it in. Since they didn't rotate the tires, there was no need to remove the key. They also pried one of my cargo hooks out of the trunk area and have refused to fix it or compensate me for the damage. I filed a BBB complaint and the Service Center manager Melissa, who has never even returned my call, denied everything- even removing the wheel lock key. Kia tells me they have no jurisdiction over this dealership. I had previously purchased a car through them, but never again will they get my business!!! Also the GM Kyle who said he would pay for the part and give me employee pricing on the repair never followed through, although he did send me a weird email after I wrote this review. read more

1 hour and 15 minutes for an oil change. 3 recalls on a Kia Seltos that was less than 4 years old. You scammed me.​

I was in a rear end collision (not that bad!) and took my car to transitowne Kia collision shop after they asked me to! I take my car there for the regular services like an oil change. a month later and my car was still with them. they told 3 times that it would be ready and every time ... something new popped up!!!! my rental is now out of my pocket bc the insurance policy only allows 30 days. FINALLY!!! my car was ready after 34 days I took an Uber after from enterprise to go pick up my car... the driver started asking why I didn't use the shuttle and why I didn't get a loaner? ...what?! Why didn't any one offer me that?! I paid $50 for my ride and had to leave work early bc they wouldn't take a payment over the phone. Needless to say... I'm not taking my car there again and to deal with the horrible/careless customer service!!!! All of them!! read more

My old car, a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport had a few troubles last year and of course is getting up there in age so before any more troubles arrived I decided to trade her in. I bought my previous car from Transitowne Mitsubishi from my nephew, Nelson Eagle. He's still with the Transitowne family but now at the Kia dealership so I decided to remain loyal and come out to him. I like to have my ducks in a row so I had gone back and forth with him prior to coming in. He had sent me a few links of different cars and I completed the financing application online before coming in. Abracadabra, Alakazam *poof* I have a new (used) car! Transitowne made it extremely easy, especially with the online financing application. Pulling up to the lot Nelson met me with the keys to my new Kia, it had been held as sold due to placing a $100 deposit. I took the car for a spin around the block to make sure it felt right. After pulling back into the lot Nelson came back out to make sure I liked the ride. From there we went inside to start papers to make this car mine. In the sense of full disclosure, Nelson is my nephew but that doesn't mean he'll let me walk all over him and at no time did anyone else in the dealership make me feel pressured. The sales team is great, friendly and approachable. I highly recommend that if you are in need of a new or used car to give Nelson Eagle a ring. read more

Engine broke down yet again. Transitowne service said 48 hours for diagnosis, now almost a week and still not even a proper diagnosis. Tell me will be at least 3 weeks after diagnosis to repair. Dealer does not provide rentals, loaners. They expect you to go months without a vehicle or pay for your own rental out of pocket even though the warranty states otherwise. No manager will call you back or even provide you a proper Kia ticket # so you can open a case with corporate. If you think about buying a Kia or Hyundai, don't they tend to explode. If you are still interested pick a dealer who actually cares about their customers and works with corporate to resolve these issues. read more

Horrible customer service. Do not purchase a vehicle from here. Once they sell to you, they think the obligation to you, the consumer, is done. No integrity read more

They just want your money. Customer support does not exist. My daughters Sportage was stolen and they can't even repair it in a timely manner. Just needs a window replaced. read more

In April 2020, Kia Motors finance charged me $480 and change on the incorrect lease (on a lease that was closed since 2014). I immediately called and asked for a refund. Every time I call, I get a different answer. Here we are in February 2021, and they still have not refunded me, despite countless attempts to get my money back. To hold that much money hostage in general is an atrocious business practice, but to do so during a pandemic when so many have had their income negatively impacted is even worse. If you're considering leasing a Kia, or financing through KMF, DONT. I've gotten absolutely nowhere asking for help from the dealership I leased the car through, transitowne Kia. $480 is so much money I want to puke thinking about this. Please spread the word and help me save someone else from dealing with this horrible company. read more

Buyer Beware from this location!!! My vehicle shut down and I had it towed to this location where I purchased the vehicle on 8-3-24. I just received my vehicle back on 8-30-24. I asked if I could get a rental as this is my family's primary vehicle I was told KIA does not do loaners or rentals I must note that my vehicle is a 2018 KIA Sorento with less than 100,000 miles. I spoke with Kyle the general manager who said please be patient if he could help with anything don't hesitate to reach out which was a lie! He was anything but available or helpful. Finally on 8/16 I received a call saying that the engine needed to be replaced and not to worry everything was covered. I thought great, making progress though between my husband and I we have missed 4 days of work and my daughter have not been able to attend swim lessons mind you no rental offered at least we are getting results. So what I have sent Kyle Tolbert the general manager 2 emails in which he totally ignored.Fast forward to 8-28 my husband receives a call saying we are all set to put the engine in but you need to replace your alternator your transmission some type of belt and your battery LIKE WHAT?! oh and it's gonna cost you 1400 dollar, yes so not paying that I call and get Kyle on the phone and try and plead my case and like always he seems concerned tells me he is going to talk to the service manager and he will give me a call and 30 we'll today is Saturday the 31st guess who never called shocker Kyle.. I called the corporate number and pleaded my case thankfully Aldo was considerate and understanding he processed my claim and received a call on Friday 8-30 saying we only had to pay for the belt and battery so out of pocket 369. All that being said please read the reviews before buying from this business unless you want to to lied to and inconvenienced. I will post a picture of the unanswered emails from Kyle Tolbert the GM read more

I took my 2013 KIA Sportage in for the safety upgrade that KIA was offering while my vehicle was there Frank in the service department also did two other upgrades. They were very efficient and thorough and provided me with excellent customer service I would recommend them to everyone thanks for the great service Frank Judy Millard read more

The service is absolutely terrible. Took over 2 hours to perform a routine oil change.

After my car breaking down(due to bad gas) I took my car to transitowne for them to fix. Which cost me over $3000. They had my car in the their possession for over a month and while on the their lot my car got broken into and conveniently where my car was parked there were no cameras. While my car was there more things kept needing to be repaired which my car was completely fine before the gas situation. They ended up replacing the fuel pump twice and a new battery. Which after I got it back from them my car still broke down. The last time they had it all the sudden I needed a new gas tank because it was rotted. Kia tanks are plastic, plastic doesn't rot. I finally took my car to my original mechanic out of town and said he doesn't know what they are talking about. My gas tank is fine and everything else looks good. Shortly after getting my car back it's now stalling while driving, which wasn't happening before I took it to them. At this point it is not drivable and I have to get rid of it. DONT GO TO THIS LOCATION!! They rip you off read more

Had an appointment for service on my vehicle. Sat in waiting area for over 2 hours. Went into service area to see how much longer only to see that it wasn't even touched. What's the sense of having an appointment if they can't handle it. When I asked why it wasn't on a lift yet I got a sarcastic response of we are going as fast as humanly possible. This place is a joke read more

My son made an appointment for service. the morning of his appointment he found out the mechanic was sick so he rescheduled. Showed up for the next scheduled appointment,30 min drive 8:45 am. They told him the mechanic was still out sick. when do we as consumers get to charge a no show fee??? read more

Integrity, Highest in quality of service, highest in customer service. Highest level of professionalism in staff and overall organization of dealership. As busy as service is they check on customers and give real time updates. I bought my car at a big named dealership. Took in to that dealer service never to return. Transitowne Kia took better care even though its a Nissan Rogue. They treat customers specifically women with respect. Good value as far as cost of service. I was assisted within minutes of arrival. Issue 1 was addressed in 2 minutes. This is because Melissa listened. Issue 2 addressed again because Melissa listened. The 3rd issue resolved unbeknownst to me the previous dealership said they changed air filter when I bought car and they didnt. She ordered filter. Problem resolved. read more

Arrived here on a cold winter day, which this winter was not an obvious statement. I knew the model I was looking for. Of all the salespeople only one was waiting outside to greet people. And it was a woman. Smart move. Pleasant. I'm not an easy customer because I don't care about much on a car, but did want one thing. Which evidently is something that has to be done separate. Ok. So that leaves that whole package information out there. Uggg. Wish that part was easier. Like cable, you can't get one thing without 5 others you may not be interested in. Honestly life would be better if we could pick the channels we want at home and the specific features we want in a car. Then everyone would be happy and not paying for things they may not want or use. My service here was great. I ended up going for a totally different brand, style and size car and got it elsewhere. But I would happily do business here anytime. read more

Love our Kia. But if you ever expect to get a return phone call don't hold your breath! 3 phone calls and a personal visit left me expecting one last call as stated by the finance manager. My husband told me that call would never come because they don't care about one sale of a new car. He was right they didn't call. Well too bad because we alone are responsible for at least 4 other Kia's purchased there and several other recommendations to our family, friends and clients. Those days have ended!!!!!! KIA Transitowne take note that sometimes one client is not just one client- one sale is just not one sale! read more

Of course the seller was amazing but once you bring it in for service, it's horrible. The woman who takes the car in, doesn't know anything , doesn't explain how long is going to take...horrible!! read more

Eric in collision genuinely made a stressful situation so much easier. I felt so confident having him work on my car and he did a great job. I'm very grateful for the work he did and how quickly it was done, all things considered. He definitely went above and beyond for me and I will be forever thankful read more

I had a wonderful experience buying my KIA Forte from Transitowne KIA. Everyone there was gracious and thoughtful and made my experience great. A special thank you to my salesman Austin Kaetzel. Austin went above and beyond to help me and I am so grateful to have had his input and help. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you all! I love my KIA! C. Loncher read more

Amazing place to do business! Fast and Friendly service from every department. Service department is quick and affordable. They have $25 full synthetic oil changes & on-line service scheduling on their website as well. When i bought my car i was in and out in no time but at the same time felt comfortable and all of my paperwork was explained to me very well. I would recommend that anyone in the market for a new vehicle check this place out. Its a great brand that has gotten a lot of attention lately and these folks use every tool they have to make the buying & servicing process as easy as possible. read more

***Do not Take your vehicle here for any type of repairs*** I took my Kia Forte here for a check engine light, dropped the car off and went on my way, The next day I was told that they could not get to my car and it would have to wait for the next day, The following day I heard nothing and called around 2:00PM and was informed they could not get to the car because the Kia Techline online service that they use to diagnose the vehicles with was Down and had been for a couple of weeks, now one would think that they would have informed me of this even before I dropped off my car, on day 3 same thing, Kia Techline was down, I needed my car so I drove the 25 minutes back to Transitowne and picked up my still broken vehicle. A few dayS later I received a text from someone at what I presume was the dealership asking how my experience was and if I could complete a survey, I texted back my thoughts on the absolute atrocious and lousy customer service and my overall experience, I was then texted back a couple days later and was told that the Kia Techline online tool was back online and to bring my car back the following week on a Wednesday. On Tuesday I called just to be sure that everything was ready for my appointment, well, guess what? At first they had no appointment scheduled for me, then mysteriously They did, but I was told that the Kia Techline Online service was still DOWN and that my car could be there for days .. AGAIN!! I then knew that this was absolute BS, and for whatever reason they were blowing smoke up my arse. I then called another Kia dealership and asked the service department if the Kia Techline tool was down, they stated it was not and to bring my car in, They asked me who the other dealership was and I told them TransitTowne, the service manager simply stated 'That doesn't surprise me. read more

KIA! What is better than owning a Kia? CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PERSONNEL!!! 1. We had our vehicle serviced recently for major repairs. Maria (KIA Professional Service Representative) kept us informed on the status of our repairs as they were being completed. Maria mirrors Kia's image as being professional, knowledgeable and courteous... no wonder TT Kia is #1 in all WNY! Family owned and you do feel like your part of the family! 2. Rick the head mechanic has serviced all our previous and current TT Kia vehicles. Never have we had to return as a repeat for service. Rick is hard working and has plenty of years as an employee which tells me he likes his job! 3. The facility is beautiful. All updated customer waiting area if you choose not to have a courtesy ride home. The garage would pass a military inspection. Very organized and clean. 4. Danelle our sales woman is truly another asset to TT. All our purchases were accomplished by this number one sales person! We're so glad to see her when we do visit; very friendly, caring, and interested in us as friends rather than clients. Thank you all for another wonderful experience. I do not hesitate at all trusting TT for our purchase and/or service needs! read more

I recently bought a used Prius here, not under warranty other than lemon laws. The sales person who helped me was respectful and we made a seamless transaction. However, within an hour of driving away with my car, I noticed a crack in the windshield (how did that pass inspection I wondered? and how did I not see it before!) and condensation in one of the headlight compartments. The next day I began to hear a rattle when driving slowly over bumps. I immediately called my sales person, who despite it being a sunday answered. The next morning he called back after a meeting with his manager with very little to offer in the way of solutions. Admittedly I did have to firmly delineate my expectations about all three problems being repaired, or I'd be seeking to return the car. He called back again to arrange for my car to be brought in the next day. On that day, the polite mechanic staff worked through to trouble shoot the issues, resulting in the headlight compartment moisture being resolved, an appointment to bring the car back the next day for a windshield replacement, and a claim to have repaired the rattling by tightening down the spare tire. However, the rattling was not resolved and in fact I removed the spare to check if that was related, the sound was unrelated to the spare, so I called yet again. On the following day when I took the car back for the windshield I also went for a drive with the mechanic, and we both heard the sound together. I made a few suggestions, thought I know nothing about cars. He was feeling at a loss because he isn't familiar with Prius'. However, he was resolute to fix the issue, and he like the rest of the staff was friendly & respectful. Indeed it seems, two weeks later, that the problem is resolved (and was one of the things I'd suggested!). Although I had to press for the car to be properly attended to, in the end it was and I was treated respectfully through out the entire experience. The lesson for me was about buying g a car from a dealership that doesn't sell that make or model could be risky, and to be persistent. However, I'd recommend Tranistowne Kia if someone is seeking a Kia; the whole crew was friendly and respectful and in the end, they did aim to keep the customer satisfied & in a safe car. read more

We were very pleased with Dane Davidson's service as we leased a new Kia Forte. He was knowledgeable and easy to work with. We only spent one hour looking, test driving, and working out details. We picked up the car two days later and again Dane worked to get us through the process quickly. read more

If you want your vehicle serviced, go elsewhere. The person who did the oil change on my car, broke the seat adjustment handle, ignored what he did, I noticed right away when I had to readjust my seat & brought it to the service department employee. He checked it out, denied that "they" did it, my husband reassured him that yes, it was done by them, it almost got ugly. They showed no concern or apologized for the damage that was done & said to show up on Monday to fix it like it was an inconvenience. My husband fixed it himself fearing they would do a half assed job. We've been loyal customers since 2014 & were planning on buying our second Kia from Transitowne Kia...not going to happen. We won't ever get our car service there any longer as well. Clean up your act & train your staff how to respect their customer's vehicles, no matter how old it is. You lose‍ read more

DO NOT SERVICE YOUR CAR HERE. They are SCAMMERS. The guy kept asking if I bought the car from here, which I didn't but I've had my car for 6 years with no major problems. I literally came in for a back taillight problem for the first time($25). I was offered the cheap oil change but I declined because it wasn't needed. Suddenly the next day, the bottom of my car board is falling off and the interior lights of my car won't shut off. Naturally, I came back in to ask them to take a look and they wanted another $135 for diagnostic plus $150 for labor. Even though it was a problem that was related to why I came in, he was "sure, they didn't cause it"...but had no idea how it happened, one day after taking it here. It was a scam to get more money and I would highly suggest no one take their car here. Come in for a quick fix and leave with a problem that's suddenly worth hundreds of dollars. read more

Cory did an excellent job and I was very pleased with the deal I got. Definitely no buyers remorse. In addition Kyle the sales manager did an outstanding job with finalizing the financial terms and even revised the payment schedule when I pointed out to him that the amount was higher than originally quoted. I would definitely recommend that you ask for Cory and Kyle if you are in the market for a new KIA. Peter E Tonawanda, NY read more

I went in July 2021 for a simple oil change and inspection. My car was having no issues at all. About half hour in the waiting room the service girl came in and said my car failed inspection and need 2 tie rods replaced, which would cost me $500. I almost let them do since I clearly didn't know much better but decided to stop them and bring it right to a Toyota dealer for inspection. Needless to say, Toyota passed the inspection without any hesitation or suggestion of any needed car repairs. So apparently Kia is still at it in 2021 taking advantage of women they think they can scam. Shame on them. It is disgusting. read more

Needed another vehicle and wanted to lease as we only need the 2nd car about once or twice a week. Saw a great deal on a Kia Forte and stopped to check it out. We walked around the lot UNPRESSURED and then we met Dane Davidson the salesman to discuss terms. Dane was great! Told him what we wanted and what we were looking to pay and he made it happen and we drove off with the car about two hours later! The longest wait was my insurance company getting me the proof of insurance! If you're looking for a Kia or a great deal, go see Dane! read more

I would absolutely never recommend Kia to my worst enemy. I have had problems since day 1 with my Kia carnival 2022 and I have tried to get into contact with them and they have ignored me. Blowing issues off that there's entire Facebook pages dedicated to. The paint at Kia is CHEAP and DEFECTIVE. look it up. There's Facebook pages made to warn people. Don't buy Kia and if you do, don't buy from here. They are cowards and will not face problems that need to be addressed. My paint has been coming off the car, they told me it was due to bird poop and because my car was black it could happen within an hour. Who can check their car after every hour? I did everything they told me to do, took all the precautions. And it's happening now even worse. There's an entire Facebook page warning people of these problems. I have tried getting in contact with them for weeks and they are ignoring me. DONT GO HERE ! Don't buy Kia! CHEAPlLY MADE CARS. read more

I want to compliment the guys in the collision shop, specifically Jim. Their team is very courteous & professional, highly recommend!

So nice to be constantly taken advantage of by the folks you bought a car from. If you go for the free oil change don't forget an extra $700 because they will undoubtedly find something. Frankly, not worth the free oil change. Last time we were in they offered us a $500 fix for something I told them requires a screw driver. Went home and did it myself in 5 minutes. This place needs to be investigated. Must have all the mechanics on commission to force them to find problems. Stop acting like you're in business for a week and realize trusted relationships build business for decades. Will never go back and this is after giving them countless chances to be upright. Found a trustworthy mechanic and he is gold. Later. read more

My husband and I both traded in our cars to lease two 2019 Kia Optimas. Tatianna helped us with the whole process and made it so easy for us since we never leased before.

I stopped in here just to look around and to see current offers and deals. I worked with Kelly Keiffer. She was absolutely amazing. She answered every question I had about the two vehicles I was interested in and was very knowledgeable about the card and dealership. Needless to say a few hours later I was leaving with my brand new Kia. I never felt pressured and was able to explain to her exactly where I needed to be. A deal was made and we are currently enjoying our new Kia. I highly recommend going to Transit Towne Kia, everyone was great that we felt with. Very personable people employed there. Hard to find dealers like this in today's world. I look forward to dealing with them in the future. read more
