Purchased a new 2026 Kia Carnival EX Hybrid from Kia Van Nuys on May 2, 2026. At delivery, I was told the second key would be mailed to me because the service department had already closed for the night. I was also promised a full set of all-weather floor mats as part of the purchase agreement. More than 11 days later, I still have not received either item. I have made multiple attempts to contact the salesperson and dealership, but have received little to no meaningful response or follow-up. Very disappointed with the post-sale customer service and communication. read more

We had a very frustrating experience with this dealership due to lack of transparency during the purchase process. We purchased a used honda oddesey 2019, which they price at $21,500. We agreed on pricing, we are told for the final cost will be $25,000, we asked for the breakdown on why it came to that price, NADIM didn't give us give us clear answer and walked away. So We just assume that is including the tax and registration fee. After our loan got approved by the bank, we are forwarded to finance manager ELISA, who has a little attitude when we ask for the final cost of the car , she seems to rush us to sign the loan agreement without clearly discussing what we are signing for. She talked about everything is included in the purchase. They will not give u the loan agreement paperwork after u sign and will be told it will be send to your email, which you need to beg for them to email it to you. The biggest issue was being charged for "optional" add-ons that were never clearly discussed with us beforehand. They added security system $3500 (that we have to call the 3rd party to have it install) anti scratch $2000 which they never install, and that Hyundai VSC $4500 on the final cost of the car, that comes out for the total of $29,000. These were presented as if they are standard or already included, which felt very misleading. My husband even have to go back to ELISA and who lied that this charges are not optional, my husband had to investigate and found out these charges are "optional". We have to seek for legal advice and wrote them letter for these "optional" charges be refunded. They need to be investigated for fraudulent charges and transaction. I recommend that anyone considering this dealership carefully review all documents, ask detail questions about every charge and not sign anything until everything is fully explained and agree upon. Zero star is what they deserve for all the hassle and trouble of resolving the issue they put the customer through!! read more

Unprofessional. These guys can't walk into gum at the same time. How hard is it to bring out a car that I can test drive? Children running business businesses!!!! Nope. Next. read more

Car was dropped off at 7am for a road hazard tire issue. Not only did it take 12 hours to install a tire, I was charged $325 even though the tire was covered under a 1 year warranty . I've only had the car 6 months ! I'll be going to corporate on this , as they refused to sell me road hazard coverage on the NEW tire ! Unacceptable!! read more

Van Nuys Kia - My future new car ! - Car Dealers Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I've never been so disappointed in a service department! They get you to buy extra things on your lease and then make it literally IMPOSSIBLE to get the service done! I'm so over this place! Scheduled a detail and oil service on my car. Bring it in and they have no knowledge of the detail. Then cannot accommodate the service even when I volunteered to leave it overnight. I don't live in the state anymore and try to use the auto detail package that we purchased. Now I'm going to have extra details that I can't use because they are only good at their dealership. This place is an absolute joke! I will not be buying from this dealership ever again and highly don't recommend it! *I will give a small shout out to Arnold who did give me some good advice moving forward and was polite. But overall... The service department sucks and you would honestly get better service ANYWHERE ELSE! read more

Got car from this dealership: They didn't show me the car, before I signed all the documents. After they ssk me to fill out a review with the 5 stars. After only they show me the car with lots of problems. I asked to fix them: First they refunded, After it took 2 weeks to fix it. It took my nervs.... Instead of to enjoy my new car​. read more

I was charged $792 for a battery replacement on a 2023 Kia soul! Picture this: 1. Took the car to Kia Van Nuys because the collision alarm light would turn on while driving and the car would not respond once it was stopped. Picture and video were shown to the manager-Greg. 2. The car was dropped off on Wednesday and we were told to call Monday to check on it. It was Greg's day off and I couldn't reach anyone with update that day. 3. On the 11th, I was told the car was ready and that it was driven for 15min but no issue was detected. I picked up the car and nothing was done. 4. The very same day the car was picked it was giving the same issue and so I took the car in again, I believe on a Saturday. Greg the manager mentioned to call back Monday. Again, his day off! 5. On Tuesday we got a call from Greg saying it looks like it's a battery issue and that the total cost would be $450. Being that the car is under warranty I did not want to do it myself so I had to accept. 6. On Wednesday, me and Greg had a heated exchange over the phone since it was the second time the car was there, the second time he says to call on his day off and the fact that it's really weird that now it's a battery issue. Keep in mind the car was there a week before and no battery issue was brought up, never had any weak battery signs but that's on what Greg is focusing. 7. Saturday, the car is ready and I and get charged $792!!!! That is $400 for battery and $330 for the labor on the battery item (itemized in their bill). So not $450 like Greg said it would be, but almost $800 for a battery change.  The other issue under warranty, no mention on the itemized bill... 8. After this, I called Kia Ventura and Kia van nuys to get an estimate for a Kia soul battery replacement. Parts and labor: Ventura: $295+$50 Van nuys: $350+$50  9. I also called another shop asking about the sensor issue to what they mention the following: You might have a dirty sensor.... Wash the car and disconnect the battery to eliminate errors. 10. I was upcharged an absurd amount by Kia but I was offered a complimentary car wash! So the car was washed and the battery replaced. Was the battery replacement necessary? I don't believe so. Never had any issue related to the battery and because the car was washed and the battery replaced, then the car errors related to the sensor that now was clean from the car wash, were eliminated. 11. Greg gave me an estimate above the normal and then charged me almost double of that amount for a battery replacement that was not necessary except to make sales! I was robbed at Kia van nuys service! read more

Van Nuys Kia - $330 labor for a battery replacement! - Car Dealers Near Me - Van Nuys, California

So I have purchased many vehicles thru out the years from different dealers and have to say they are very professional during the time of purchase BUT....beware if you want to take your car in for service. I had the absolute worse experience with my 2024 Telluride with only 10,000 miles in it. The service dept lacks communication and customer service skills. The service was so bad that today I actually traded in my Telluride and got a 2026 Chevy Equinox. I traded it in cause I would never ever want to take my Kia there to be serviced again in my life. Again the sales dept is great but the service dept really needs to be fired and re hire people that actually want to be a service to customers. read more

wish I could give zero stars. Do not bring your car here if you care about it -- especially if you've already prepaid. My car was barely used, yet it feels like they didn't even bother to change the oil. The oil was still dark, which makes it obvious nothing was done. On top of that, the package I paid for included a tire rotation, and they didn't do that either. So what exactly did I pay for? This is careless, dishonest, and completely unprofessional. You're charging people for services you're not even performing. I will not be coming back, and I strongly recommend others stay away. read more

Horrible, disappointing and misleading. If you're trying to inquire for a car, DEXTER is the one to avoid, and due to my experience with Dexter, I suggest everyone go to a different dealership and avoid this one. Dexter claimed I won contest, he made an appointment with me, promised he'd call me back, and never did. UNBELIEVABLE! How dare this dealership call me saying I won contest, and then say they'd call me back with results.... NOTHING! Waste of time, this dealership will LIE TO YOU! They care more about making money than taking time to call their customers back. Sad. Very sad. Dexter was a horrible experience and EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL! Horrible experience with him. They can do better and hire someone who is kinder and will return a call. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIP! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! They do not care about you here! Especially Dexter! read more

Was I sold a lemon? After less than a month of ownership, the safety features have stopped working, the rear window washer fluids pours into the back of the car instead instead of the outside, and the engine frequently sounds like a jetliner trying to take off as it struggles to accelerate. That staff was so friendly, but their sales seem deceptive. I loathe that I am stuck with this wreck until the note is paid off. Update 14 November 2025: less than 12 hours since I parked my car last night and wrote this, the electronics in my windows are going out. Pushing the button up or down will move the window down but not up without a lot of trying up then down then up then down. 5 minutes to get my window back up is insane. It may be time to contact someone who specializes in lemon laws. read more

I had an excellent experience working with Arno Babajanian in the service department at Kia Van Nuys. Arno was courteous, easy to work with, had great communication throughout the service visit and was extremely accommodating with my schedule. Most impressive was how he underpromised and overdelivered on a time‑sensitive recall fix, keeping everything smooth and stress‑free. Highly recommended. Ask for Arno when you schedule service. read more

The service advisor representative Arno Babajanian is very unprofessional and rude. I came to drop my wife's car for an oil change and waiting in the lobby for 15-20 minutes and wasn't even acknowledged as most of the service advisors were either chatting or eating. I approached him to ask for assistance and all he said in a rude way was "it is not in my control" I am not available to help you. The other representative Greg Minanian after hearing him say that approached to assist us with our service. Kia's are horrible cars along with the service department. Best services are Lexus, Infiniti, and Audi from my past experiences never getting a car from Kia again better off taking a bus or bicycle. read more

Van Nuys Kia - So stupid how the dealership is few blocks away separate from the service department. - Car Dealers Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I was struggling to pay the parking meter when Manar Ali, a salesperson, came to talk to me. We started talking && never have I felt so comfortable. The easiest experience where the entire team at Van Nuys (special shoutout to the GM, Arnold) made it possible for me to get the car I wanted on my terms. Thank you for making the entire process enjoyable :) Russell, enjoy the empanadas! read more

Van Nuys Kia - Car Dealers Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Baits customers with cars that are listed as available, calls and promises that they'll have the car ready if not other similar cars, once you drive there they suddenly claim they don't have any of the cars available. Manager then attempts to upsell the highest trim of the new version of the car that's almost double the price and seems pissed when it's turned down. Complete waste of time and long drive. Would not recommend at all for these shady sales practices. Sales guy was nice and seemed unaware and apologetic for the whole fiasco. read more

This dealership is not transparent and professional, they tried to sell me a different car of what I had agreed on. You can't reach general management, everything goes back to car sales which is the main problem. Save yourself from a bad experience and don't do business at this dealership, is NOT a pleasant experience. Be careful of what you signed and take your time don't let finance woman rush you. read more

This is about the new service center on Sepulveda, not about sales. I just had a crappy experience on multiple levels. I needed a tire and called to discover, great, they had it. But timing is important because I work everyday. So they scheduled me for the "first appointment" available the next morning. I get there and am told, "could be an hour and a half." I ask "to change one tire and do the alignment?" They say they have other cars and I would have to get in line. I look around an empty check in area as I'm the only one there. I figure ok, they're just saying what they have to, I'll get work done since they have this new lounge. I go in to find ICE recruitment ads playing on the TVs. Here I am in a room with mostly minorities and ICE ads are playing above their heads. I ask if I can speak to a manager. Surprise (not), he's not available. Who knows when he'll be in. That's convenient. So I go sit down to get work done. The internet keeps dropping out. It's not stable enough to do any work that requires the internet, such as mine. I go to ask someone and am told that it seems to be working for him. So you think I'm making things up. I have to explicitly ask "could you please have someone look at it?" The nice guy comes to where I'm at to say that all he can do is submit a support ticket and that someone at another location will get to the ticket at some point. What a great new lounge for people who have to get stuff done while they wait. When I get my car about 1.45 hours later I ask if the manger is in yet. I just want to politely say that I don't appreciate the ICE ads in the businesses I patronize. I wasn't going to get worked up: just one person expressing their opinion who has bought two cars from them. Maybe it will make a difference since the employees probably don't love hearing it all day at work but probably can't say anything. I was told he wasn't in still. Two hours without a manager or supervisor. Interesting. My brother owns a dealership and runs the service center in Texas. Two hours without at least a supervisor on duty would never happen there. But ok, I'll just leave a message for the supervisor online and get a call back. Two weeks later, no return email, no call back. So take it for what it's worth. Maybe you don't care about ICE or love them. Maybe you don't need working email, or care that they seem really uninterested in hearing from their customers about service issues. All good. But for those who do care about, at least, having a place with minimal customer service, set your expectations appropriately. Not that many of us with Kias have many options here in the area. But at least consider just getting a ride share so you're not stuck there listening to ICE ads without internet and eating popcorn at 8am. read more

Amazing customer service from both the sales department as well as their service center. I've been driving a Kia for almost 5 years now and this is my go to location to upgrade my vehicle as well as get it serviced. Safe to say I'll be a Kia customer for a long time! read more

Drove a long distance to Van Nuys Kia ready to buy, but the experience was extremely disappointing. I waited nearly an hour and was never properly shown the vehicle. The out-the-door pricing also didn't match what was discussed, even after the listed price dropped. As a disabled veteran, I expect transparency and respect for my time--neither were shown here.This felt like a bait-and-switch situation. Get everything in writing before you go, or be prepared to walk out read more

I've never had such dreadful service from a dealer before. I brought my ev6 in with a battery that died to a bad ICCU (known problem with this car). Even though the car is still under the factory warranty I was told the battery need replacing out of pocket. I was quoted $329 plus tax over the phone seemed excessive but I said yes. Then I was told I should forget about diagnosing the ICCU or it could be a few days in the shop or maybe a month. A weird scare tactic but I said keep it as long as it takes to fix the underlying issue. 2 hours later I get a text the car is ready. When I pickup the car suddenly the price is around $500. Avoid these guys and take your car to a different service place. They're crooks. read more

Pésimo servicio y pesa atención, el dia sábado 23 de mayo 2026 acudir a hacer la compra de una camioneta EV9. Mi vendedor George realmente no tubo micho interes en atenderme y no quería venderme la camioneta supiestamente por que era un costosa ( menciono que llegue hablando español y no muy arreglando) yo le dije que no importaba y que corriera el crédito. Lo hizo y después de un tiempo el me ofreció e incluso maneje otras opciones y yo le dije que me compraría la EV9. Ya para ese monto habían pasado casi 3 hrs y el empezó a poner excusas e incluso me dejaron parada esperando a mi, mi mamá y mi bebe. Al pasar el tiempo (2 hrs mas ) yoe enoje y le dije que que pasaba. El insistía que el financiero me atendería en breve y ya firmaríamos todo. Mientras a todos los demaa clientes no latinos atendían miy agradablemente. Al final despues de casi 4 horas el me dice que la camioneta ya se habia vendido, pero que el dia siguiente ellos personalmente me la llevarían a mi casa y Jacob un supervisor me dijo que el al dia siguiente me llamaria alas 9am.Bueno al dia siguiente no me llamaron y mucho menos me hablaron, yo seguía llamando al vendedor George el cual muy grosero me regaño y el me dijo que alas 2:30pm el tendría la camioneta en el lugar. Cuando llegamos a Kia Van Nuys la camioneta si estaba ahi pero ellos ya habían cambiado el trato completamente. Yo pedí copia de la propuesta de el dia anterior, el cual el vendedor se negociación y me dijo que yo no podía tomarle foto a ninguna propuesta y que si no me gustaba la oferta que me fuera y yo no comprara ningun carro ahi.según sus políticas internas. Me ofrecieron otro trato el cual accedí, obviamente 300 dls mas al mes. En todo momento me.aenti humillada y discriminada por la madera en que nos trataron a mi y a mi mamá y mis hijos. Al firmar el contrato el financiero me pidió mi mail, el me dijo que en ese momento el me estaba enviando el contrato ( no fue verdad) . Al momento de entregarme la camioneta nadie me dijo nada respecto a la misma, ninguna indicación. Yo el dia lunes le hablo tanto al vendedor como al supervisor para hacerles saber que mi contrato no estaba en mail y no me contestaron ni llamadas no mensajes, yo hable directamente a Kia Van nuys y tampoco me dieron respuesta, solo me transferían a una extensión en la cual nadie tomaba la llamada. Nadie me contesta las llamada ni mensajes. Hasta el dia jueves y me dicen que los financiero el dia miércoles no trabajaron y el dia jueves estaban en una reunión y que tenia que ir personalmente con una identificación a pedirlo directo ahi, cosa qie el vendedor decía que lo estaban enviando ami mail y que mi mail no servía ( eso es mentira) tengo mensajes y llamadas guardados donde puedo comprobar que ellos ignoraron mis llamadas y mensajes todo el tiempo. No entiendo el porqué. El dia de hoy después de llamadas no contestadas y mensajes no contestadas yo le mande mensaje a George que si no me mandaba mi contrato pondría una demananda el lo envio.

Well, I came back because I was assured on the phone that a regular service appointment (as opposed to repairs) would take around an hour. When I got here I was told it would take 1.5 hours, so I decided to wait. I've been sitting here for over 2.5 hours and just got told it'll be 45 more minutes. I'm done with this place, which is a shame because it's not too far from me and they always give you a complimentary car wash. The advisor who checked in my car is very nice, but that doesn't make up for the length of time this is taking. read more

The level of service I experienced from Moein Alborz and the staff at Van Nuys Kia restored my faith in the car buying process. I spent two frustrating weeks car shopping after my car was stolen, and had terrible experiences in Cerritos and Santa Monica where I felt pressured and taken advantage of. Moein was upfront and honest the entire time, which is all I wanted. No tricks, no games, just transparency and great service. What really stood out at Van Nuys Kia was the atmosphere. The staff interacted more like a family than coworkers which made the entire experience feel welcoming and stress free. I would absolutely recommend Van Nuys Kia and Moein to anyone looking for a seamless car buying experience. read more

A couple of months ago, I went to the Kia Van Nuy Service center on Van nuys blvd to have my 2020 Kia Rio car a/c charged since it was not blowing cold air, I was told that they have to run a diagnostic test to see what was wrong with it and the diagnostic test would cost around $330 and once they find out what's wrong and I have it repaired, they would waive the diagnostic fee if I have them perform the repair, and they told me that diagnostic would take a day or 2, they said they would send me home via Lyft and send a car (Lyft the next day to bring me to the center tom pick up my car) I had to defer the service since I remembered I was waiting to get my replacement credit card, and they haven't done anything to my car. I called yesterday to set an appointment to finally get it repaired for today at 7am, I got to the van nuys blvd. service center at 6:50 and I noticed a large banner that said that the service center was moved to 5905 Sepulveda blvd, I drove to the new repair center, it was a bigger and roomier repair center, I asked my service advisor Arlene to verified that that diagnostic fee would be waived if I have them perform the repair and she told me no. They will not waive the diagnostic fee and they will only send me home one way via Lyft. Coming back would be on me. Sigh... I came in at 7:30am, I told her I would wait till end of today, at around 10:30am, she told me I just need to recharge my Freon and my car would be ready in about 50 mins, I was driving home around 11:30am. Overall, my experience was ok, the new center was nicer and more spacious, the waiting room is pretty nice and they have a coffee/chocolate machine or water bottles and popcorn for free. I complained about the fact that when I called yesterday to set an appointment, they didn't tell me or remind me that the repair center moved to a new location. And the diagnostic fee ($330) not being waived was unexpected and irritating. Arlene was friendly and professional. read more

I had an amazing experience working with Ata Eskandani. From start to finish, he treated me with the utmost respect and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. What really stood out was his honesty, patience, and willingness to answer all of my questions without any pressure. He truly went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and confident in my decision. Buying a car can sometimes feel overwhelming, but he made it such a smooth and even enjoyable experience. I'm so grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a car! Thank you again for making this such a special experience Ata! I will most definitely be a future customer of yours. read more

Zero stars if I could. I will be reporting to the Consumer Protection Bureau. It's a shame that the norm for car dealers is shady and non-trustworthy, and Kia Van Nuys is the perfect example of why that is. Throughout my process of buying out my car lease from this dealer I was met with several instances of being given contradicting, or just plainly misleading information. I've learned that I cannot trust anything they say, and this was proven to me several times from several different Kia Van Nuys team members. It's a long story and you can read more in my long narrative essay below, lol, but in short, don't buy Kia, specifically Kia Van Nuys. Dear Customer Service person responding to reviews: it's clear you're just giving lip service and aren't making real change to stop scamming people. You're complicit in the dealership's dishonesty. ............... The culminating example of their shadiness was me opening up my car auto loan letter from the bank that showed I owed about $10k more than the Kia Van Nuys sales team verbally told me (and which I verbally confirmed with them multiple times). At the time of purchasing out my lease, they gave me a quote. My partner and I specifically asked multiple times if that quote included ALL fees. They said yes. They assured me yes multiple times. They talked about it being so much less than what was expected. Then come to find out (3 weeks after the transaction was complete) the ACTUAL total was about $10k more than what they said. I now have to pay $10k more. There were several other instances of shadiness throughout the process of buying out the car lease and configuring details. At one point I was still getting emails from the main, central Kia saying that I never turned in my lease and would start getting fined for not turning it in (when in reality I had turned it in). I have gone back and forth several times between the main, central Kia telling me what the Kia Van Nuys did wrong and needed to correct. Ali, one of the Kia Van Nuys managers, is polite but doesn't seem to really care or have impetus to change anything of how his staff operate. Sultan, one of the Kia Van Nuys Finance Managers, gave me just plain wrong information ("Oh it's fine that Kia is still sending you notices that you didn't turn your car in. Just ignore them." WRONG. I'm glad I didn't listen to him or I would have been sent to collection agencies.) Other sales staff told me plainly wrong information about car warranties that luckily I caught when cross-examining different staff. Elisa, another finance manager, is smarter but trickier and very good at wordsmithing to appear like she did nothing wrong, all the while completely scamming you. Next, the Finance Department will say "Oh yes, you were approved for a loan so easily!" But a month later I got letters from all these banks saying I applied for a loan but was rejected. My credit score was then lowered from the different loan applications. No one from the Finance Department told me they had to apply to multiple banks. I called Kia's main Consumer Affairs Bureau several times. They told me that the Kia District Manager would contact me. He never did. I called the Consumer Affairs Bureau again. They assured me the District Manager would really contact me this time. He never did. I'm aware that inevitably some of you will for some reason side with the dealership. "You should have read EVERY single line of fine print." "It's your fault this happened, you didn't do x." If you're one of these people, I'm sorry multimillion dollar corporations and greedy franchise managers have stomped you down so hard that you now take their side and accept their bullshit lies. True, if I had taken several hours to go through every contract line and had an accountant do all of the math in the contract, I would have seen "Hey, these numbers are way different than what you verbally told me." But guess what- I shouldn't have to do that. People who need to buy a car shouldn't have to be legal experts or cross-examining experts. I should be able to trust the word of the people who told me several times that ALL the fees would be a certain amount. I was able to cross-examine and pinpoint several other times they gave me inaccurate information. Imagine all the families who due to a number of factors (English as a second language, lower familiarity with dealerships, first-time car purchasers, etc) who aren't able to do that, and who are subject to this sleazy dealership's lies. read more

It was all good until I signed the papers. I leased a new KIA electric - my third - the first 2 from Glendale KIA which is further away for me so I went to Van Nuys. Then I received a statement from KIA Finance that was $34 more monthly than was agreed on. I called Atta, my salesperson who tried to blame it on Eric in finance. From then on neither would take my calls - everyday for a week. I still had my old lease as I paid $2800 to repair the exterior scratches. Now no one responds to my calls to come get the old KIA which I do not own anymore but frankly expect to be charged for keeping it on my property. I still don't know why I have a higher monthly. (A friend chalked it up to taxes). And I don't know when they will miss their old leased vehicle. Plus, I have never received any communication - phone or email - from Atta, my salesman, Eric, the finance officer. And Ali, the dealership manager, owner. So I am a disgruntled, overcharged and ghosted customer. I'm an 87 year old widow who has been blindsided by these aggessive men. Did I mention the rudeness from Atta on my first call? And some other salesperson who happened to pick up one of my calls and dismissed men when I wanted Ali, the manager/owner. read more

I am NEVER buying a Kia. The experience I had with them was the worst one I've ever had. I bought a NEW car in January of 2024 and it turned out to be a nightmare. I took my car to service back in April of 2024 because it broke down after exiting the freeway. They had to tow it and kept it at service until May 2024. After getting my car back, a few days later the codes went off again and took it straight to service. I was told they would not be able to take it in since they had no room until July, so I had no choice but to take home a defective car. I took it in again in July and they were finally able to take it in. We weren't given a rental or anything after continuously asking for one . They had my car from July 2024 and in March of 2025 they called to tell me my car was ready for pickup. I wasn't able to take it home the day I went since everyone had conveniently gone home for the day. My husband went the following day to pick it up, and not even 20 minutes later the car had broken down AGAIN. During the whole time that my car was in service, I was not given a single update after continuously texting and calling them. They had failed to inform me that the first person that took my car had been fired; the second person that then took my car was also fired. I only found out this information when I would personally go to service. The third person that took in my car was completely clueless as to what was wrong with it, and I do not blame him - I blame their horrible management. This caused me so much stress, time, and money that I did not have. I had been paying for a car and insurance I was never able to use for almost a year. Save yourself the trouble and NEVER get a car from this dealer. read more

I haven't bought a car in what feels like forever. But I've never in all my years had a car buying experience like this. I came on a Sunday with my dad and my sister to test drive a kid shortage hybrid. And we met Gabriel, who really took the time to listen to what I was looking for and what my goals were for this car. He was so personable and easy to talk to and he made SURE I got exactly what I was looking for. We mentioned to him we hadn't eaten and while we were dealing with finance he went and got us some food which was so kind. He made sure to interact not just with me but with my dad and my sister as well. The staff all participate in this special ceremony after each sale which I thought was so cool. I absolutely love my new car and I highly recommend coming in to see Gabriel and the Van Nuys Kia team if you're looking for a car. read more

First off big thank you to our man Gabriel who helped us get our new Kia. Traded in our Forte which we loved so much and wanted to stay in the Kia family. Gabriel showed us options available, was super knowledgeable, very sweet and made us have such a great experience looking at cars. We all know this is the most annoying thing to do and takes FOREVER to get it done. Yes it did take time as it will always take time to get the best price for the car you want. But I am so so so soooooo happy with my new K4 Gtline. Beautiful car and beautiful service by Gabriel, Eric and the rest of the team at Kia Van Nuys. But no really make sure to go to him he will really make you have the best experience to get a new car ! Thank you again !! read more

SECOND REVIEW This place is dishonest, stay far away. I bout a kia Sportage from this place. tag team high pressure sales. and bate and switch tactics! after I left my last review. this is what they said David, we're committed to providing an honest and straightforward sales process, so we are disappointed to read about your purchase. We want to make sure this is addressed so that we can clear things up and work towards a resolution together. Please call our General Manager, Jonathan Schwartz, at (818) 751-2234 so that we can learn more and work towards resolving this issue. Thank you. I called and wrote Jonathan a email. to which he never responded... Go to Kia of Glendale there honest. and no high pressure sales team.. read more

UPDATE: DON'T BE FOOLED BY THEIR RESPONSE BELOW. I HAVE CALLED AND CALLED THIS NUMBER. IT DOESN'T EVEN RING TO THE NAME THEY SAY IT DOES...THEY POSTED THIS RESPONSE TO FOOL OTHER PEOPLE INTO THINKING THEY WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. Can I give 0 stars? I had to come out of pocket $240 to program a key on a brand new Kia I purchased in November of 2025. The dealership said the original duplicate key was in storage but promised to mail it. After 6 weeks of calls and texts, they admitted they lost it and mailed us a new key. When we received it and contact them, they told us we had to come to the dealership to have it programmed...a 3 hour round trip from our home. We told them that was too great a hardship for us and ask they reimburse us the cost of having it programmed at our local dealer. They refused and offered a free service. I reminded the salesman that he sold me the service package...and also a new car does not require service. He promised to call me back. That as a week ago. I gave up and came out of pocket to program the key. read more

These guys get five stars from me all around! The shout outs go to Jimmy from sales and Greg from the service team. Jimmy worked with us tirelessly to help us find a car. Our original car was in a car accident and was totaled, so going into having to buy a new car was not something we were particularly excited about. HOWEVER, Jimmy got us excited about it. He was compassionate about our situation, and our budget...and he never made us feel bad about our budget, and did everything he could to work with us. But what was even more important is that he was the only sales guy, between four different Kia dealerships, who made me feel like he genuinely wanted to help me. He wasn't pushy, he just got us excited about the different cars. He never made us feel like we were being frustrating, or picky, or any one of the many feelings other dealerships made me feel. We did not end up buying from there, simply because their inventory was low and we couldn't find something that matched our budget with the options they had. They were very reasonable about everything, we just were on a tight time limit. If I had more time, I would have waited and bought from him because he made me feel good about buying a car from there. Onto Greg! We bought a car from a different dealership, about two hours away, and a few days later, the oil change warning came on. I called the dealership we bought from and they couldn't figure out how to fix it over the phone, so I thought I'd give the service dealership here a try, and I'm so glad I did. I pulled up, without an appointment, and asked if he could help me with it, and he was so nice about it! He did not have to be that nice. He seemed unbothered by me, and so willing to help. He didn't try to push anything additional on me, which I also appreciated. He got the oil change warning reset and set to notify me at the proper time, and then helped me figure out how to work out some of the tech in my car. He was very knowledgeable and just really kind. If you want to buy or get your car serviced by people you feel like you can trust, hit up Jimmy in sales and Greg on the service team. Car buying should be fun, even if it's not an ideal situation, and we're so thankful that Jimmy made it as fun as it could possibly be. read more
