Customer Service

Cons:

  • "They then did not return my calls, delayed getting my plates and registration to me."
  • "The parts department is horrendous. No desire to help customers, inaccurate timelines, parts on back order for months with no ETA, complete lack of responsibility for following up on the order, and lack of competence."
  • "This dealership is not reliable where the sales team Focus only un making sales and their Cars áre prepared to be just sold but it is not maintained well by taking the easy route using aftermarket parts and deleting codes."
  • "Nobody offered a suggestion as to where I could change my son, which added to my frustration."
  • "The sales manager David or Dave is NO HELP! DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!"

Financing & Pricing

Pros:

  • "Anthony Hicks in Finance also did a great job in getting me my financing. I know he fought to get me a better rate."
  • "Bernadette in finance explained everything very well and made the process smooth and quick with great warranty options."
  • "Sales manager, Jeff was also super helpful and nice. He fought on my behalf with the bank since my credit wasn’t all that great."
  • "The finance department went over everything and took the time to explain and make sure I understood everything, and answered all my questions."
  • "Liberty Kia was straightforward: MSRP+$499 documentation+taxes and plates/registration. Fair and honest."
  • "They take really little commission. And with a little haggling I got a super deal."
  • "I was able to lease my first new car with the help of Tony and Nancy and I must say I am very happy with my experience here."

Cons:

  • "Was inquiring about the Telluride and Carnival and sales person told me there was ‘a market adjustment’ on those models and that every car is the msrp sticker price +$5000."
  • "These crooks are adding $6000 to the price of the Kia Carnival because they are not easily available."
  • "Took him 5 weeks to return it only to find out he used my personal information to pull a loan for $1000 to pay me back!!!"
  • "Isn’t price gouging illegal? Talk about taking advantage of people in a time when people need a break."
  • "Be careful with Jose(Finance Manager-back corner office)."
  • "READ before leaving a DEPOSIT!!!!"
  • "Update: I had to remove 1 star as my 'Certified Pre-Owned' car needs 800 dollars worth of wear and tear work (New Brakes/Rotors and battery)."

  • "I had visited another dealership the day prior to see a similar vehicle and they tried to add a 12% up-charge for dealership fees on top of the list price and tax."

  • "Jeremiah PERSONALLY came to our house, removed the tire, brought it to the shop to get fixed and returned to secure the tire back onto the car."
