My first time buying a vehicle and these guys made it an enjoyable and easy experience. From the online inquiry to placing the keys in my hand. Specifically Colby and Elijah Tucker!!! Will definitely be back when I’m ready for an upgrade!!!!

Everything about the dealership was good. But there was one major thing that happened that I didn't like. I was very direct and to the point about the financing department only running one credit report. I was assured several times that they would do that. Once everything was done and I got into the finance department, I was told they ran 3 reports. I ask him if he seen where I requested only to run one. He said yes, but he felt like he needed to do more. He did this without my permission. To me, that is a lack of trust and respect. I will not trust this dealership again nor will I recommend them to anyone.
Feb 12, 2020
Aim to Please.
Mr E. Tucker and staff went above and beyond to provide my Wife with the best service and future warranties,service on her new seltos.

This place was the best place ever to deal with. This car was my valentines gift and they were the best. They knew I didn’t want to spend a whole day in there doing all it takes but still got the message through to me. Come on people they could spend hours telling us about all the features but ya as adults need to read the extras in the handbook also. Common sense. I’m thankful for what they showed me the basics and I’ll take it from here soldier. Thanks Kia Country!

New car purchase
Had an unusual situation. Downsizing from a more expensive, almost new vehicle. This was my third purchase from Kia Country of Charleston. Everything went well.

Outstanding Customer Service
Elijah was fantastic to work with. He and the rest of the team seemed to streamline the process. It was the easiest, no-hassle experience I have EVER had when purchasing a car. I would definitely go back there again!

Best experience
Elijah Tucker is the most professional sales person I have had the pleasure to work with. This is my second purchase with Elijah and again a seamless purchase.
Oct 15, 2019
Be smart and go to KIA Country
We moved down here in March we purchased our first Kia from Stokes KIA. Yes, Stokes have a better office setup and a bigger lot however, my personal experience was they were Impersonal, not always forthcoming and seem to cater toward a specific clientele. Here at KIA Country we didn’t experience any of that! The prices were better and the service was quicker an much more FRIENDLIER!! THANK YOU ELIJAH TUCKER FOR EVERYTHING AND YOUR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE!!!!
Oct 15, 2019
Thank you Elijah!
Excellent! After seeing the 2018 Chevy Colorado on the dealer’s website, I was contacted by the dealership and made arrangements to drive the vehicle.
Oct 15, 2019
Amazing
Elijah was amazing helping me trade my 2016 Kia Forte for a 2020 Kia Optima.... the whole stuff was lovely and very friendly. Pricing for a 2020 is unbeatable. Will most definitely go to them again for a trade in or any service
Oct 09, 2019
First class professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about
First class professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about their product. Elijah Tucker showed patience and helped me and my wife select our second Serento. The rest of the staff was friendly and their showroom was clean. High kudos!. Good team Kia, thanks! Herbert Maybank

Was having an issue with the android auto app on our new Sorento. Our amazing salesman, Elijah, prioritized us getting it working on our car with our phone. He got Chris in the service department to assist us and he was able to fix it in under 5 minutes and verified it with our phone. Chris and Elijah made sure our new car experience was the best it could be and prioritized solving the issue. They are kind and professional and an asset to Kia Country. This is what service should be like and I will definitely come back! My husband and I have already decided our next car purchase will be at Kia Country with Elijah based on our amazing experience with him!
Sep 29, 2019
Bought another Kia!
Great salesman and dealership. This is my 5th Kia I've purchased from this dealer and from Elijah, both amazing! From sales to service everything is top notch!
Sep 25, 2019
Amazing!!
From the moment Mike called to give me info on my vehicle for trade I felt like the most important part of their day. Mike had the most amazing salesman, Elijah, help me! He was kind, attentive, and really understood my needs and what my family needed. They were able to get us in a new vehicle at a great rate and we didn't think it was possible. We were ready to purchase a used car that wasn't best for our family out of necessity and an hour later we were signing papers on our beautiful new car. This was the easiest, quickest, painless experience we've ever had. The whole staff was amazing, but Elijah was our blessing and gave us fantastic information. I will never go anywhere else again! You can not go wrong with Elijah at Kia Country of Charleston. This group is all about what is best for you and is just amazing!
Sep 20, 2019
Great service!
Great selection of vehicles and staff was friendly and good to work with! We went for a lengthy test drive and Elijah showed me a lot of the features of the Kia Soul I was looking at.

New Soul For Mom
I can't say enough about how well Kia Country and Elijah Tucker takes care of me, my friends, and family. This month my mom turned 82 and it was time for a new car. Elijah took us all over the lot and even brought out a car from the back for mom to see. He ended up bringing out a Mars Orange Soul she fell in love with. Bless him for taking the time to show her the in's and out's of the electronics. Tucker treats us like family and that's what has kept me coming back. This was 4th car that Tucker has helped me purchase. A Special Thank You To All The Salesmen Who Lined Up and Sang Happy Birthday To My Mom! Thanks Elijah!
Aug 28, 2019
Review
Mr. Tucker was wonderful. He helped us tremendously. Took us through all of the electronic things in the car. He was very courteous and welcoming. This is our fourth Kia. Mr. Tucker is very professional. Thanks Mr. Tucker!!!

Friendly, quick and easy way to buy a car
I initially spoke with Dave Knight over the phone. He was able to let me know which Kia cars were in stock and on the lot for me to look at. I came to see him that afternoon and he helped me find the car and quickly was able to give me an estimate for purchase. He let me go home and think about making a decision for the vehicle. I liked that he was not pushing me to make a decision and he didn't show me anything out of my price range. The next day I went by, knowing that Dave was off, and was greeted by Elijah Tucker. He helped me take another look at the car I liked and my second choice car. He helped me fill out the application form and the financial ball rolling. I explained to him that I was going to make my final decision on Friday when Dave was back. On Friday I returned to take a test drive and buy the 2019 Kia Rio. Elijah greeted me agina and let me know that Dave was off, but that he could help me. We took a test drive and I purchased the car. Elijah was excellent to work with and he made the final purchase process smooth and easy Jeremy Wilson was also a great help as he went over the financing process I have been very please with the whole process.

Gray experience
My husband and I was helped by Elijah Tucker. He was professional and helped to make the experience comfortable. My other experience with dealerships had been all day visits.

Awesom
Great dealership. This is the 4th car I have purchased from them. Wonderful sales people . Office staff etc. I recommend to all my friends . Best deal in South Carolina
Jun 29, 2019
Great Experience
Purchasing a vehicle is always a combination of excitement and dread. Excitement for the new vehicle, dread for the paperwork process. Kia Country of Charleston located on Savannah Highway takes the dread out of the process. Frank and Elijah are great to work with. Very professional and very knowledgeable. I knew I was going to purchase a Kia somewhere. I am so glad I purchased it at Kia Country of Charleston.
Jun 24, 2019
Telluride purchase
Purchased the 2020 Kia Telluride, and the process was smooth and stress- free. Justin was great. We went through all the bells and whistles together, and he made sure I left comfortable knowing how to operate the touch screen and all of its options. Elijah was great with my initial test drive a few months back. Pretty happy with my purchase!
Jun 03, 2019
New car
My husband and I just went to look and compair cars and our salesman was very polite ki d and took his time with us. Even though I said I was not there to buy just to look and start to make a decision on what I wanted. . I love my new Kia.
Jun 01, 2019
New car Purchase
Treated professionally. Willing to negotiated price and willing to consider my situation. Have a prior model that I have had in for routine service and felt I received good service at a fair price.
May 31, 2019
Telluride
Great customer service!! Fantastic job in finding us our new car. Elijah Tucker was very helpful in guiding us from financing to closing on this great car.
May 16, 2019
Pathetic and unprofessional
Through all my years of hard work and dedication to acquire the things needed like transportation, I've never dealt with such unprofessionalism. Better business bureau needs to investigate this practice. In a customer service friendly environment, they are hostile and not helpful. It seems they are more towards making their quota for sales then making the consumer appreciate the value of their purchase. Worst experience ever.
May 13, 2019
Friendly, knowledgeable, and FAST!
I have been researching SUVs and after a lot of research, my husband and I decided on the Telluride. We've been hearing the Tellurides don't stay in stock. I was lucky to get to Kia of Charleston in time to see one that had just been delivered. I worked with Elijah, who has been there for many years. He was kind and not pushy- which I appreciate. Throughout the 2 afternoons we were there, several team members visited with us and made us feel welcome. We all know the buying process can be daunting, but it definitely was a pleasurable experience at Kia of Charleston. We love our new 2020 Telluride and recommend it 100%!
May 12, 2019
This dealership has wonderful customer service!
The dealership helped us from selecting the right car to financing without any pressures. Our salesman was very attentive. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. We would recommend Charleston Kia to anyone in the car market.
May 09, 2019
Professional and friendly
All the personnel was very kind efficient. This is the second vehicle purchase from Kia country Ariel versus paste only first time I went so helpful. Kudos to Elijah the greatest.
May 02, 2019
Competent, courteous and efficient!
Elijah and the rest of the staff were competent, courteous and efficient. The experience was seamless from beginning to end, and I would highly recommend the dealership. My first non-Volvo in 26 years, and I couldn't be happier with the decision.
May 01, 2019
One of the best dealerships in Charleston to buy a car from
This is a great dealership and a great saleman to deal with. My experience with Elijah has been very helpful with choosing the right car to go with.
May 01, 2019
Awesome!!!
I normally dread going to the dealership but Elijah made sure this was seamless process. I told him what I was looking for in my next vehicle and he made sure that I left the lot with it. He was very friendly and even followed up with me a week later to make sure that I was satisfied with my purchase.
May 01, 2019
Amazing
Great customer service. I was immediately greeted and was treated with the upmost respect and given the best service and even greater guidance on the best vehicle's.
May 01, 2019
A great experience
Mr. Tucker is a great assset to the Kia family he takes the time needed to put you in the right vehicle that will fit into your budget.
May 01, 2019
Knowledgeable and made the process easy
He wasn't pushing me into buying anything. I was able to ask all of my questions and he didn't skip a beat on answering them. Best experience I've ever had at a dealership!
May 01, 2019
Great customer service
Elijah Tucker exhibited great customer care skills as he patiently went through the process of me deciding which car was best for me and my budget. His skill and knowledge of the kia brand helped me to confirm my decision in purchasing my first kia.
Apr 30, 2019
best dealership around
Came in searching for a used car left with a brand new Kia Optima. Best service around by far, will be referring to family and friends!
Apr 30, 2019
1st Maintence
The company has always been friendly and informative. Elijah has always been there to help me and answer any questions and will find answers if he's not sure...
Apr 30, 2019
Great atmosphere
Friendly lovable place of business and they really make u happy with the car you decide plus the team work there is awesome I love Kia Country
Apr 27, 2019
Wonderful and speedy service.
This was our first buying experience from a dealership and it was quick and painless. Elijah didn’t waste my time and gave me what I needed. I really respected that. A good salesman addresses the customers needs, not his own. Adam made sure all the paperwork was done super quick. We really had a wonderful experience!! The price on our Kia Sorento was extremely fair as well! Thanks Kia Country!
Apr 24, 2019
I Got The Car I Wanted
My experience with the Charleston Kia dealership was a two day process that ended wonderfully. I’m a first time car buyer and Elijah, one of the sales reps, was great. He was knowledgeable and very candid. He didn’t try to sell me something I couldn’t afford. He was very patient and worked with me to find and get a car I really enjoyed. He made my first car buying experience a great one.
Apr 15, 2019
Purchase new vehicle
I went into Hyundai of Charleston to find my daughter's a vehicle. My husband had already spoke to Elijah over the phone. He was waiting for us to come. He even followed up with us within the hour by phone. He was knowledgeable friendly and extremely professional. I purchased a 2019 Kia Forte for my daughter. The vehicle was everything she wished for. I would recommend Elijah if I know anyone looking to buy a vehicle.
Apr 10, 2019
Outstanding Customer Service
Good people like Elijah Tucker & the sales manager team, they work together. He paid attention to my needs & placed me in a vehicle that is perfect at a price I can afford. Mr. Tucker has integraty & decency; not something people say about a car sales person. He shook my hand and gave me his word that I would be happy with my Kia Country experience because he was and is dedicated to giving customers the best possible car buying experience. Together we looked at vehicles & Mr. Tucker engaged me with questions to determine whats was the best fit for me from his inventory. He returned to the sales manager & went to bat for me to get me a deal that works for me. Thanks to Kia, I now own a 2012 Soul SL. I was suprised by the additional accessories in the car and I am elated with my purchase. A huge Thank you to Kia Country of Charleston for my vehicle that is a nice mix of practical wagon with sporty attitude, loving it.
Apr 09, 2019
Exceptional customer service, as usual.
I recently purchased my second KIA from Elijah Tucker at KIA Country and I couldn't be happier. He listens to your needs and works hard to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase. Elijah is extremely knowledgeable and definitely my "go-to" person for car buying! Always a pleasure to work with!

A Really Positive Experience
When my 2013 Chevy Cruze was abruptly sidelined (long story) I was desperate to find a solid replacement as quickly as possible. After several frustrating experiences with local dealerships who were overbearing and pushy, I stumbled onto an online listing for a 2012 Kia Soul that was available at Kia Country of Charleston. Unfortunately, their website listed the wrong transmission type. When I asked, though, Colby was kind enough to look into it for me and confirmed the mistake. His honesty, along with everything I'd read about Kia's epic level of quality-to-value, convinced me to give them a shot anyway. From the moment I walked in, I never once felt pressured into buying something I didn't need. I wasn't outnumbered by "sales managers" and they didn't try to redirect me to more expensive models. Colby greeted me as soon as I arrived, answered a few introductory questions, and arranged a discussion with Norm, who was knowledgeable (he educated me on the advantages of Certified Pre-Owned sales) and patient while I asked questions. When I told him the rough price range I was looking for, he didn't show me a bunch of upscale items and try to convince me I could afford them; he went straight to the least expensive vehicle that would not sacrifice quality, which was a 2016 Kia Soul Base with less than 43K miles (i.e. still "Certified"). Incredibly, he not only worked with me on the value of my trade-in, but he also arranged for me to "borrow" the car overnight so that I could have my personal mechanic examine it and drive it between financiers while I did some "homework." Norm wasn't there the following day, but he made sure that Elijah and Adam were informed enough to assist me. Adam secured *really* competitive financing for me while Elijah walked me through each form. Neither of them had any problem answering my many questions. In the end I drove off the lot with an *awesome* upgrade that is safe, reliable, affordable, and fun to drive. I would recommend Kia Country and Kia vehicles in general to anybody in a heartbeat based on my experience.

Fantastic Kia Dealership in Charleston!
I have had an awesome experience with Kia of Charleston. The service department is efficient, professional. The sales department is very professional and exceptional! I have bought many cars, sometimes I have had a little pressure and didn't really feel like I was being listened and respected as a customer because I am a female. I did not feel this way at this dealership. My salesman was Mr. Elijah Tucker. He just sat and talked with me and let me give him information to assist me. He didn't pressure me to any particular car or one with things I didn't want. He listened to me, respected what I had to say, was very professional and polite. He let me decide if I wanted to take my car for a drive. He gave me truthful and honest information on my trade in which I appreciate. They were happy that I traded a Kia for another Kia. I am very appreciative to Mr. Tucker for his exceptional customer service and care! Thank you.

Went in for a repair job...came out with a GREAT new car
My 2016 KIA Sorento had a sun roof that suddenly refused to close. I located KIA Country and made an appointment to get the roof fixed. When I dropped the car off I casually mentioned that I would like to see what new cars they had to offer. Sure enough, the sales person, Elijah Tucker, happened to be in the repair garage and we walked me over to the sales building. Elijah is a great guy who connected with me immediately, My greatest concern was safety, and while the Sorento had some safety features, it did not have everything available. Long story short, he loaned me a 2020 Telluride that DID have all of the safety features. After some friendly but instructive haggling, we reached a very fair deal and a bit more than 24 hours after coming to KIA Country my wife and I drove away in the borrowed car, but now the proud owners (see picture attached). God bless, Elijah, and hope to see you from time to time as I come in for regular maintenance!
Mar 28, 2019
Quick and simple
They made the transaction as simply as possible. They had the car ready to drive and sign within 2 hours. Elijah was a pleasure to work with,
Mar 27, 2019
They got me exactly what I wanted!
Super nice staff. Extremely helpful! They didn't have the car I wanted in local inventory so they contacted another dealer and found me the exact car I wanted.

Kias Forever
In our family this is our 5th Kia purchase and we will continue to buy Kia cars. Each one has been durable and long lasting with ZERO problems. One we traded because it was mom's Sedona mini van, ran like a gem had 175000+ miles with no problems, mom doesn't need a mini van as kids are grown so she bought a Sportage.. Just got a Niro Hybrid the gas mileage is great. Dad has a Soul. Elijah Tucker at Kia Country of Charleston SC is our man for Kia's, always fair and honest and makes the car looking and buying experience easy.
Mar 23, 2019
Great Experience!
Elijah and the other associates did an amazing job!! A great experience for my son and his purchase of his first car!! Thank you so very much! The Boezi Family
Mar 15, 2019
Great place to get a car
The whole team there is awesome. They were patient as we thought the purchase out.. Worked with us and was never pushy. Elijah was great and highly recomended.
Mar 11, 2019
My new Kia Soul
Awesome people to deal with. Mr Tucker is the best. He will go above and beyond to help you. He was upfront and honest with us.
Mar 01, 2019
I was not looking to buy, but Elijah changed my mind
I was having my car serviced and was just doing some research for a future purchase. Elijah introduced himself and listened carefully. He then showed me the exact car that I was looking for. After a test drive I knew this was the car. Elijah was helpful through the entire process, including getting my car appraised for trade in. Thank you Elijah

EXCEPTIONAL Customer Service
A Brief Back Story: I purchased a 2017 Kia Forte Sport in April 2017 after several meetings with Elijah Tucker, the congenial, competent, and caring sales advisor who facilitated my purchase. I met with Jason Leming in Finance who accepted my cash payment, as well as explained some additional warranty services. When seeing my address in Summerville, he realized I lived several houses away from the parents of his close friend. Fast Forward: Jason and I met again at a gathering at his friend's parents' home in July 2018. When I told him I still hadn't driven enough miles for my 5,000 Mile Scheduled Service, he said to contact him or Elijah when I do. As they both live in Summerville, either man can pick up my car, leave a car for my to use, and drive my car to Kia Country for the service. Music to my ears! Last week I called Elijah, who gladly picked up my car in the morning, left a 2019 Kia for me to drive, and returned my car that night. That afternoon Chelsea Rowland, Service Dept, had called re: services provided and cordially answered my questions. *****This was the BEST service appointment I've ever had...and I never had to leave home THANK YOU, ELIJAH!
Feb 21, 2019
Smooth transition
Elijah was great and made the experience amazing. Would definitely recommend him and the Kia of Charleston crew. Thanks for making my experience amazing will see you when it’s time to purchase again.
Feb 13, 2019
Easy used car buying experience
I moved across the country and I needed a used car. Elijah Tucker showed me a couple of vehicles that met my needs. He took the time to explain all of the car's features and he provided a seamless car buying experience!
Feb 05, 2019
Great sales and service
Elijah Tucker walked me through the whole process and answered all my questions and made my car buying experience fantastic.Service department very welcoming too!!
Feb 05, 2019
Great place to buy a car!
First of all, this is our third car we have bought from there and it will not. E our last. Elijah tucker had always been mt salesman and he goes well beyond the extra mile, there was no pressure to buy not even from the manager. I asked for the OTD price in which they gave me then I asked for my trade in value and it couldn't be beat!
Feb 02, 2019
Exceptional
My car was totaled and the dealership help get the gap paperwork completed. I was able to get a new car as well. With the circumstances everyone too care of me!
Jan 20, 2019
Very satisfied with my new soul
Elijah was very helpful and knowledgeable on the Kia Soul. I am very happy with my purchase of a new Kia and I love my new car. The gas mileage on the window sticker showed 31 for highway and by the time I got home I was already getting 38 mpg on my first tank of gas.
Jan 19, 2019
It really was no-haggle
After the devastating experience of having our car totalled in an accident, the last thing my nerves needed would have been to play the dickering game with a dealership. I researched cars online and found one that seemed like it would fit our needs. It was listed at a "no-haggle" price that seemed fair considering as the great features of the car, and we went to see it. Elijah and the rest of the dealership dealt with me with great compassion for my scary experience. We left the dealership after a short while with a car that has so many safety features that I will regain confidence about driving again.
Jan 12, 2019
It was a great experience
I was very impressed with the company as a whole. The car that I choose had a problem with the muffler, so a new one was installed while I waited. Everyone seems well educated about their products and could answer any questions I had on financing and getting the best deal.
Jan 07, 2019
" Great experience "
Very good experience with Mr. Tucker. Go to Kia and see what they can do for you. Traded a 2013 Chevy Impala thnks Koa Country. Askfor Elijah Tucker
Jan 01, 2019
Elijah does it again!
This is the 3rd car I have purchased through Elijah and I couldn't be more happy! Every time he is informative, accommodating and not salesy at all (which is refreshing)!!!
Dec 24, 2018
My experience
Everyone was very helpful in my quest to find my car. This is the fourth vehicle that I have purchased from Kia Country,I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Dec 22, 2018
So excited for my New Sorento
Wonderful dealership to work with!! Mr. Elijah made my experience enjoyable! He is a very nice man and was never pushy with me! The process was quick and easy! This is my 2nd new Kia to be purchased from Kia Country in Charleston!
Dec 12, 2018
Best car buying experience I've ever had!
I called on the phone before coming down and spoke with Michael, he was lovely and gave me all the information I asked for. So I went down to the dealership to trade in my car, while they appraised my car I took the two I was interested in for a test drive and decided which I'd like to purchase. Elijah, printed the initial numbers sheet and so I spoke with my bank, which I was given ample time and space to personally do so. He then came back over, we made everything work, printed out what I needed to. He then went to fill my new car up with gas, while Micahel printed and had me sign everything needed. I got my new keys and was on my way! 2 hours and I was in and out with the car I wanted! Perfect experience. Couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you!!
Dec 10, 2018
Elijah Tucker and the crew always treat us right.
We have purchased over 45 vehicles in the last 5 years. What great customer service they provide us each time. Make sure you visit for your next KIA purchase.
Dec 09, 2018
Happy Customer
I had the pleasure of working with Elijah. Elijah took a lot of time with me to make sure I was able to purchase the vehicle was happy with and wanted. Thank you Elijah (KIA Country Motor, West Ashley)
Dec 01, 2018
Very pleasant and satisfying experience!!!!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Tucker in the past. When we decided to purchase a new car, Mr Tucker came to mind FIRST and then KIA. Mr. Tucker is HONEST, KNOWLEDGEBLE and PATIENT. He knew exactly what we were looking for and pointed us in the right direction. When a salesman knows his product and get a feel for the customers, the selling part becomes easy. Mr. Tucker is a born salesman with the accumen to back him up. What a pleasure it was working with him. We brag about him to all our friends and family. Mr. Tucker is a great asset to KIA Country of Charleston.

Fantastic buying experience
Elijah was fantastic! This is our second car purchase from him. The entire team made the process easy! Would definitely recommend Kia Country for your next car purchase!

They want to have your business
They were extremely willing to work with us efficiently and friendly to get us in a another car after the accident. Didn't push for anything out of our price range and we ended up getting a new kia soul with an upgrade that was delivered FAST.

Buying a New Car
The staff is courteous, professional and polite. They were also very patient while I was trying to make a decision. They worked with me to get a payment I could afford. Getting to the payment I could afford was give and take on both sides. This is the 4th vehicle I have purchased from Kia Country.

2018 Kia Sportage LX-Absolutely wonderful buying experience!
I went into Kia with a 2008 Toyota Yaris, and I had just paid it off. It had a plethora of issues, mainly concerning safety down the road. I had been in the market for a decently new vehicle, with AWD. Elijah instantly guided me to a used 2018 sportage LX, and let me test drive it overnight. I came back the next day, quickly went through the financing process, signed and was sent on my way with a beautifully detailed car under 20,000! I would recommend them to anyone having trouble finding what they want AND great customer service at the same place.

Kia Country # 1
I have found that Kia Country of Charleston is a reputable and fair to deal with, I have now purchased my 6th Kia from Kia Country and each purchase has been to our satisfaction as far as quality of vehicle, price and customer satisfaction, Elijah, our sales person is a true and honest salesman and makes our buying experience very smooth and stress free. The service department at Kia Country is the best I have ever dealt with, friendly, courteous, prompt and goes all out to provide customer satisfaction. Going to any other dealer for a new car has never crossed our mind. Thanks Kia Country for all you do and for our quality cars.

Elijah Tucker is the best!!
The best thing about this dealership is Elijah Tucker - if my rating were based solely on him, it would have been a solid 5 out of 5! He listens to his customers, points out options without strong arming an upsale and is just generally pleasant to deal with! I did LOTS of homework before my recent purchase and felt like he respected that. If you go, ask for Elijah!! Like another customer, I was surprised by the high interest and long loan offered by KIA - no shorter terms or lower interest rates were offered, despite my having stellar credit (score > 800). If I didn't already have the option to move the loan to another lender, I would likely have walked away from the deal. This is where they make the additional money, if you work out what you feel is a fair deal - the manager is in charge of financing and will offer long term loans with higher interest rates than you can get elsewhere. Do you homework before going!! The most tiring part of the process is once you finally make it to the final paperwork. I was handed off to Frank, who is really nice, but he tried ... and tried... and tried to sell me an extended warranty that I didn't want. I realize he is just doing his job, but by that point, most folks are tired and just ready to be done! Long story short, it took almost three hours to complete the process, so plan to spend a chunk of time there when you go!! Lastly, be sure to find out about any available rebates before you do your negotiation! I worked out what I felt like was a pretty fair deal - I was asking for what I felt was fair for my trade in and they came down below what I was originally told would be the drive out price. Felt fair until I noticed that the paperwork was written up as my having paid $1,000 more for the car and that I was using a $1,000 rebate. WAIT - what rebate!? I hadn't been told there was rebate, much less that I was using one!! Had I known that, I probably would have offered $1,000 less on the front end. But I'm sure they know that - so don't sit there and wait for them to OFFER any rebates - ASK about them!
Jul 16, 2018
The best service!
Walked in with appointment, told them what I wanted they made it happen an hour or so later I walked out with my brand new stinger!!
Jul 03, 2018
Great experience with helpful and understanding staff
Very friendly and open about what they had in stock. Once I'd driven the car I liked, they gave me time to figure out my insurance, and were also very willing to negotiate. Would buy a car there again.
Jun 30, 2018
Excellent Service
The salesman Elijah Tucker and his manager Adam Richey were extremely pleasant to work with. Elijah was incredibly down to earth and easy to get along with. He shattered the stereotype of the car salesman and gave me my first turkey comfortable car shopping experience. Adam made everything incredibly easy to understand. He laid out all of the benefits and made the decision process very easy.
Jun 26, 2018
Elijah is a wonderful and patient salesman
When I bought my car Elijah was very patient and understanding as I was quite overwhelmed. My daughter was so happy with my experience that she wants to buy a car from him too. Great service and I'm a happy customer.
Jun 25, 2018
Great Customer Service
I have purchased 3 cars from Kia Country and have had a great experience every time. Elijah has helped me twice and I will definitely see him for my next car.
Jun 23, 2018
Awesome and Quick
Out of all the dealers I visited in Charleston, this was the best experience I had. I was already feeling bad that I totaled lost my car and had to purchase a new one. The sales rep was so nice and listened to my concerns and price. He was able to put me in a 2018 Kia Sportage in at a price range that I feel comfortable with. I love it. The deal was a God send and I would like to thank Mr. Elijah for an Awesome car buying experience!!!
Jun 13, 2018
Awesome
I am already, letting friends and family know to go to Kia on Savannah Hwy. They will take care of you. Best car dealer in town.
Jun 01, 2018
The staff was friendly and not pushy
I really enjoyed not being harnessed and hassled like I have experienced at previous dealerships visited. These people are friendly, helpful and want your business.

Experience at Kia Country of Charleston
We had a great experience yesterday purchasing our new Kia Niro. Our salesman, Elijah was wonderful to work with. He is kind, patient and very knowledgeable. When it was time to do the financial paperwork, the financial manager Jeremy, was fast and efficient.
May 13, 2018
Everything was great!
I worked with Megan and Elijah and hey we’re both amazing! I would def refer anyone to working with them!! They made sure everything worked out in my favor also!
May 02, 2018
Easy, comfortable process — Good price.
Started with a test drive. Connected with Mike when checking pricing online and TrueCar sent my info along to the dealership. Half a dozen emails and then we came in to close the deal with Elijah. While they clearly wanted to make a sale (that's their job), there were no games and no high pressure tactics — none of the clichés that lead to "car salesmen" jokes. Got the car we wanted at a price we're happy with, and buying a new car doesn't get much better than that. Look forward to working with the dealership in the months and years ahead.
Apr 15, 2018
Elijah Tucker very good salesman; no pressure; explained
Nice salesman; sold us a used Kia sirrento to my daughter a week earlier; returned to dealer to get a good used car fir my grandson
Apr 04, 2018
Easy!
I went to this dealership after work on a Friday, after speaking with a BDR named Megan. I went in to get a base model Rio. I was greeted by Elijah Tucker, who became my salesperson. He worked with me throughout the night and was very patient through me trying to find a co-signer. He ended up letting me try for a Kia Soul. I used to have one and I loved it. I came back the next day, and was told that I was approved. I left that day in my very first brand new car. Elijah was great!
Mar 29, 2018
Very Happy with this delership
Very accommodating and willing to meet our needs. Elijah Tucker and Jeremy Wilson were personable, friendly, and all around good listeners. Highly recommend KIA Country.
Mar 26, 2018
Fantastic
Elijah was phenomenal in getting the deal done! Took a little longer than expected but had such a great time...got two Souls! Will definitely be back!!!
Mar 22, 2018
Fantastic salesperson and dealership
Elijah is the best salesperson on the planet ! So accomodating and professional He knows how to keep a Kia customer happy and provide excellent service and goes above and beyond to make you feel special and appreciated.
Mar 21, 2018
A refreshing last stop
After a hard day of going from dealership to dealership and not being satisfied I was so excited by the service and quality vehicle that I found at Kia. Elijah was so helpful and informative about your product and was a great person to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your dealership at all and feel very positively about my experience.
Mar 17, 2018
Great and friendly service
This was a great experience. Elijah was wonderful to work with and everyone was overly accommodating. We love our new Kia and we enjoyed the experience.
Mar 15, 2018
Couldn't have asked for a better experience
I was convinced that I was never going to find a vehicle to replace my car of 11 years. I visited multiple dealerships in the area, and each time was increasingly disappointed with the sales people I dealt with. My experience with Kia Country was phenomenal from the second that I pulled on to the lot and I am so incredibly happy that Eliljah Tucker was there to help me. He was patient with all of my questions and never pressured me, and I felt that he sincerely cared. I couldn't be happier with my purchase or the experience as a whole. The only thing I wish I would have done differently was that I should have visited Kia Country first!! Thank you Elijah! Also, thank you Jeremy Wilson for sticking around and helping to seal the deal! I will forever recommend Kia Country to anyone looking to purchase a new or used vehicle.
Mar 14, 2018
Stress Free Purchase!
No sales pressure at all, very easy process. Elijah Tucker was great to work with. If you are in the market for a new car, would definitely recommend paying him a visit.
Mar 10, 2018
Great dealer
Mr. Elijah Tucker gave me a feeling of confidence buying from him. I would recommend my friends to shop at the dealership if interested in a Kia.
Feb 24, 2018
Low pressure and helpful
Elijah was very understanding of my situation. He and the finance team worked together to help me get a deal I could live with! Thanks!
Feb 01, 2018
Great experience at Kia Country of Charleston
Elijah was very pleasant to work with. He was very courteous and helpful. Adam went above and beyond make the deal work! We would definitely recommend these guys!

Admitting Error and Making it Right
Took my Kia in for service, somehow between the dealership and Bees Ferry (.3mil) my car's transmission fluid was empty. Initially it looked bleak, but after speaking to the service manager I got a loaner (nicer than what I owned) and they took care of the tow. The next day I went in with a list of demands and Steve Applebaum (manager) met all but one (and it was beyond his control) ... Wasn't planning on getting a new car but with the financing and dealership deal I bought one ... They gave me full trade in value for my car and moved my towing package and Thule over at no cost ... I feel like they made it right ... And they will have a repeat customer.
Jan 15, 2018
AWESOME
Elijah Tucker got me out of my 2008 Altima, into a brand new Kia Forte at a low interest rate and an affordable monthly rate. Awesome service
Jan 15, 2018
Great Experience At Kia Country!
After my car was totaled I was in n desperate need of a new car. I knew I wanted a Kia Soul so I decided to try Kia Country. I'm so happy I did! Mike Brand initially helped me after I expressed interest through their website. When I walked into the dealership Elijah Tucker was my salesman, he was, knowledgeable, helpful, extremely considerate of my budget and worked hard with me to find the right car. I ended up walking out with a brand-new Kia Soul at a price I could afford! I'm extremely pleased with my experience at Kia Country and with Elijah! Thanks guys!
Jan 06, 2018
You can't go wrong.
They go above and beyond to make sure you're pleased satisfied customer. Ask for Elijah, he is a fantastic sales person; and patient as I am one who constantly has questions!
Dec 23, 2017
Fabulous
I am absolutely pleased with Kia and there #1 salesman, Mr. Elijah. I had no idea that they would be so nice. I just had to follow my daddy.
Dec 15, 2017
First car made so easy!
As a first time car buyer, I figured it would be very stressful. But Elijah made me feel very relaxed in my experience. He was very patient with me and was able to find a car within my needs while still being affordable! I felt very relaxed and was given no pressure to make a decision. Andy was also very helpful and energetic on the business side of things and explained the paperwork to me very well. I highly recommend Kia Country of Charleston to anyone looking for a car, whether they're a first time buyer or wanting a new car for the road.
Dec 02, 2017

Nov 17, 2017
CALM and EASY

Oct 07, 2017
Awesome experience
We test drive our truck by setting up an appointment the day before and they had it waiting for us when we arrived. It was a quick and easy process to swap trade in our car for the truck and we are extremely happy with it and the customer service that was provided.
Oct 05, 2017
Great purchasing experience
Yesterday’s purchase was my second at Kia Country and I plan to return if and when I purchase a third Kia. Elijah Tucker, my salesman, was terrific to work with. D the rest of the staff I came in contact with were polite and accommodating.
Oct 05, 2017
Excellent customer service!
I would not go anywhere else to purchase a vehicle! Everyone at Kia Country of Charleston is very nice and helpful. They offer a stress free, no pressure environment which makes purchasing a vehicle a pleasure. I highly recommend Elijah Tucker! He's very professional, knowledgeable, honest, helpful and accommodating. He is so nice and patient and will do everything that he can to ensure that you get the vehicle that you want and that you are happy with your purchase. Thanks Elijah!!!
Oct 04, 2017
Professional, friendly, accommodating, no pressure
We told Elijah what we were looking for and he delivered. Great customer service in a relaxed atmosphere. We are very happy with our new purchase. Thanks, Elijah!
Sep 29, 2017
Highly recommend
Elijah was extremely helpful from the moment I walked in. I didn’t feel like I was dealing with a stereotypical salesmen which was a relief. Once I told him what I was looking for, he was a straight shooter and was able to get me a great deal on a fantastic car. He was very patient with my high maintenance list of necessities. Business with Kia country was simple and low stress.

A Great Dealer Experience Under Trying Circumstances
When I first visited Kia Country a little over a year ago, I had no intention of buying a car: I was just gathering information. Elijah Tucker met me at the door and offered to help. Less than an hour later with no pressure tactics, I left with a proposal to take home and consider: a great 2016 Optima at a good price and easy financing. After discussing it with my wife, I decided to go for it. It was a great decision: that Optima was a fantastic car in every respect. Fast forward to 9/11/2017. Hurricane Irma brought flood waters raging through my garage. The insurance adjuster said my beautiful car was a total loss. Even with my attempts to dry it out as soon as the water receded the salt water would, they said, cause inumerable problems in the months ahead. I picked up the phone and called Elijah. He and the team at Kia Country put me in the exact car that I wanted (the 2018 Optima is even better!) the very next day at a fair price with no hassle. They not only didn't take advantage of my desperate situation, they threw in some extra help from Kia: an additional $750 of Hurricane Irma Relief Cash. If you are tired of the "wear you down" tactics employed by so many other dealerships, treat yourself to a great experience as well as a great car at Kia Country of Charleston.
Sep 18, 2017
Excellent Dealer Service
The overall experience of purchasing a new car was great. I am totally satisfied with my purchase, and totally thankful of my parents for recommending me to come here. My 2004 Kia died on me Friday afternoon and was in a new Kia Soul 24 hours later. I truly received wonderful care from my Salesman.
Sep 16, 2017
Amazing people & service.
They're awesome. I had absolutely no issues with them. They was willing to work out a plan with me when I came into a minor issues. Overall I had a great car buying experience .
Aug 31, 2017
Great Ride!
Elijah at Kia Country was extremely courteous and considerate of my automotive needs. He helped me make the right selection for my family. As a repeat customer of Elijah's, I am satisfied with his great service.
Aug 30, 2017
REPEAT CUSTOMER!
I bought my first (LX)and second(EX) Kia Optima from Kia Country of Charleston. Both times Elijah Tucker was my salesman. He's honest and very professional. He answered all my questions without any hesitation. I plan on buying my sons car from there as well. Everyone was very nice. Thank you, Yatisma T Heyward
Aug 30, 2017
Elijah
Elijah was very helpful, friendly, and understood what I was looking for. He helped me to stay within my budget and I can only thank him. Great Service!
Aug 22, 2017
Awesome Buy
This is the fifth car that we have purchased from Kia Country of Charleston, the sales representative, Elijah Tucker, has always treated us with respect and insured that we received a very satisfactory deal, no high pressure sales just honest deals. The service department and Finance Department have always been courteous and true blue. Thanks Elijah and Kia Country.
Aug 13, 2017
My First Car!
I really appreciated Mr. Tucker's help with getting me into a car. My intentions were to get a used vehicle and be on my way but I am more than satisfied with my outcome. He helped me get a brand new 2017 Black Kia Soul, which is my dream car! Thank you so much.
Jul 29, 2017
Quick and Easy Purchase
I've purchased 3 cars now from Kia Country of Charleston and highly recommend Elijah Tucker as your salesman. I've loved all the cars I've purchased and they run and drive like a dream. This dealership makes the process quick and painless. They always work with me to make sure I'm happy. Elijah is extremely helpful, listens to what your needs are, and works for you to get what you need. He always remembers me, even after nearly 8 years, and even follows up with me every now and then to make sure I don't need anything.
Jul 28, 2017
Smooth, informative & helpful
Relay recommend you come in and talk to elijah, he was very helpful and made my purchase a breeze. Come in and see them today.
Jul 28, 2017
Amazing and Friendly
Elijah truly is the best of the best along with Mike. Y'all made my first car buying experience so relaxing and not stressful at all. They were patient with all the questions I had for them! Hands down the best of the best.
Jul 26, 2017
Completely Smooth Transition
My recent trade-in with Kia Country of Charleston has shown to me that this business strives to achieve the maximum in customer service. Mr. Elijah Tucker had made the entire process absolutely fluent. He also took the time to get to know me, which made the whole experience a lot more friendly and interconnected. I couldn't be happier with the service, as well as with the vehicle I now drive. Thank you Kia Country
Jul 08, 2017
Well, it used to be a nice dealership...
I've called a number of times to retrieve an offer on a new Soul Turbo. Each time I was told they had been busy but would get right back to me. Nobody ever did. I initiated more calls than I would for any other business because I've purchased from this dealership in the past and typically get my vehicle serviced here as well, but they must think I'm not worth the time. EDIT: The dealership contacted me after they discovered this review. I'm convinced had they not seen a negative review, they would have never reached out at all. Originally, I wanted an offer to buy a new Turbo Soul during a sale in which KIA Country was advertising that they would make payments in addition to payments KMF would make to total a year's worth of payments before I needed to begin making payments. I called multiple times during this sale, and never received a call back. They finally called back after the sale had ended, and only because I had posted my original review. In an attempt to make things up, they made an offer for a Soul Turbo with Tech package at $24198 and making payments for me through Jan. 2018. All I wanted was for them to honor the original sale that I tried to take advantage of which was no payments for 1 year. They would not honor that. Their offer instead was to make the payments through Mar. 2018. I decided I would accept this. But wait, there's more. Then the price became $26420. Which was a steal at a mark-down from their advertised price of $29584. Mind you, KIA's MSRP for a Turbo Soul with Tech Package is $26695. Even better, the TrueCar Average for the Turbo Soul with Tech Package is $23818. (This is not looking like such a great deal anymore.) A nearby competitor has this model listed for $24770 Then, to add insult to injury, this special offer then included payments through Feb. 2018. Wouldn't even honor the original offer I agreed to which included payments through Mar. 2018. Now, I'm sure given the fact that they respond to every review, they will have something to say. But guys, it really was pretty simple in the beginning to have another thoroughly satisfied customer here, but I can't abide by bait-and-switch and other nasty tactics like have been employed here this time.
Jul 07, 2017
Thankful for Elijah
Elijah has helped me with 3 different leases. Always helpful, professional, knowledgeable and just enjoyable to be around. This past week I had a flat tire and knew I could count on Elijah for his assistance and expertise! Even though I've had my current car for over a year, I know I can always call him if something comes up! Thank you Elijah! I look forward to working with you again in the future.
Jul 03, 2017
Elijah is the BEST
I am on my third Kia automobile. Elijah knew exactly what I was looking for in each vehicle and knew that my time was important. Thank you for being attentive over the phone and in person each time I go for the purchase of the car and service. You are awesome.
Jul 01, 2017
Friendly and helpful staff from start to finish.
Since it was my first time buying a car I was feeling nervous, but with the helpful and friendly staff I felt right at home and made a purchase.
Jun 28, 2017
great experience
Great to work with and easy. The sales representative was not pushy and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to any one looking to buy a new car.
Jun 24, 2017
Happy customer
The staff was very helpful, our dealer was Elijah and he helped us out a bunch. They made sure to put my husband and me on the title, so I could build some credit. We didn't get as much as we wanted on the our trade, but they just did it based on Kelly blue books so what are you gonna do. Our new car is great and has an awesome warranty. We're very happy to have found a legit car dealership that isn't trying to scam you around every corner.
Jun 21, 2017
My first car purchase was great!
Elijah was so helpful! He was so knowledgeable about the cars that I test drove. He was so patient and really supported me. This experience as a first time buyer was the best! I love Kia and I recommend it to anyone!
Jun 21, 2017
Great experience
I had a great experience at this Kia dealership Elijah was very helpful in helping us get a deal we wanted and would definitely recommend this to a friend!
Jun 18, 2017
A great experience!!!
Ask for Elijah. His honesty and assistance assured me the business cared that my needs were met. We were handled in a timely manner and I would definitely do another deal here.
Jun 13, 2017
Repeat customer, even better this time!
This is my second visit to this dealer. My second Optima, even the car is better. The building is clean, nice greeting upon arrival. The salesman I had last time was there, which was seven years ago. Elijah is fast and efficient. My appointment was at 11:00 and I was completely done by 12:45! I felt they were up front about pricing and I didn't have to go through an exhaustive wear down like some dealers do. My trade in was quickly evaluated. In the end, it was an enjoyable experience which I had come to dread from past experiences. I love the Optima and the 2017 model is REALLY nice. They include many nice features on the LX. It's a nice ride.... All people I met were courteous and efficient. Also they have nice service program. Friendly, efficient and, they aim to please! Highly recommended.
Jun 11, 2017
Very helpful
Elijah was very helpful and not pushy from the very beginning - he gave us time to discuss and worked with us on a great deal.
Jun 08, 2017
CSI is top notch
I and my family have been in the car business before and we know pretty much the ends and outs from F&I back to service. This store has a good business model of just doing the right thing for owners and taking care of customers. The sales staff was excellent and management even took care of an issue after purchase that I AM SURE the local competitor would have told me tough luck on. Today while waiting on an oil change I heard three different conversations with advisors telling customers they DIDNT need a service or tires yet! Thats right they were doing the right thing! kudos to tim and chelsea! Tony Taylor

'17 Sorento
We had a good experience here. The sales manager was busy, so a lot of time was wasted waiting on negotiating (is our only complaint). Quick to close the deal after an agreement was made on a price.
May 30, 2017
Outstanding staff
Could not be happier with our new optima,the staff there bent over backwards to get our deal done. Just when I thought we were to too far apart on price, Elijah & Jason went to work, a little while longer and I drove home in my new car. Great job by all involved
May 28, 2017
Awesome!
Elijah was super helpful and extremely kind. He promptly answered every question I had and made the experience as smooth as possible. I'm really loving my new Kia Soul!
May 14, 2017
Great service
Elijah Tucker was such an amazing sales man. We couldn't have asked for better service! He answered all of our questions and did not push anything on us. They also matched a price we were offered from another dealership down the road. We are VERY satisfied with the service we recieved and will tell all our friends in the market for a Kia to go to Kia Country!
May 02, 2017
Great experience!
Elijah was wonderful! He made my husband and I feel comfortable and confident in our decision to purchase our Kia. We went to just look and walked away a short time later with a car we were both very happy with. I love our new Sorrento! Thank you Elijah and the rest of the team at Kia Country!
Apr 22, 2017
Elijah is awesome!!!!
Elijah is very kind. He was very understanding and patient. He wasnt aggressive like other salesmen. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and family. Thank you so much Elijah!!!!!!

You are the best car sales men in Charleston SC
Working with lance WIlliams, Jason learning and ELigh Tucker was the best day ever. I was able to trade two Kia's and get a 2017 KIa Soul. MItch Jones was a big help by Telling me to go talk to Elijah after I had service completed on my 2009 Kia today.and that's when I was able to get my new Kia l will recommend KIa Country of Charleston to everyone.

Excellent service!
This is the second car purchase I have made through Kia Country - and I continue to be impressed by their professionalism and genuine charm! As a single female, buying a car can be a daunting task; these guys have gone above and beyond to make this experience as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Way to go... 10/10 would recommend!

Kia Country Is The Best Dealership in Charleston
From the moment you walk in the door, you feel comfortable in the dealership. The customer service and assistance with finding the right car "fit" for you is outstanding. I was not pressured into buying, but was able to look at all of my options for getting into something that worked for my life. Elijah Tucker took great care with me in choosing a car, and assisted me with working out the details of my many options. After I purchased my new car, Elijah showed me how to work all of the "bells and whistles" that came with it. I purchased a previous car with Elijah Tucker at this dealership in 2013, and received excellent customer service and care, including the outstanding members of the service team. I often posted on FaceBook when I "checked in" during my regular service visits for oil change and tire rotation. I have been complimented often on the look of my car, and always tell them to "go see Elijah at Kia Country!" I bought a 2017 version of the exact same car, as I loved it so much. Great cars, great service, and great team!!

Awesome service from the door to close!
The group went above and beyond to make a bad situation better for us! We appreciate the patience and continued effort to help us get a working vehicle. We purchased a NEW one with warranty and roadside assistance included at a great deal. Try them first before going anywhere else for a new purchase or a trade in as well. They will give you a better offer as well.

Amazing Experience
Elijah and all of the men at Kia Country of Charleston were amazing. They worked hard for most of the day on a Saturday to put us in the car we wanted. They made sure to offer us drinks, they were honest and kind. They were even able to service my soul while we were waiting on paperwork. It was an overall amazing experience. I would recommend them over and over again for any of your car buying needs!!!
Feb 23, 2017
Takes care of you like family!
This is a sales person you want! He doesnt push you into a car. He actually takes the time to chat and get personable with you! Made me feel like i was buying a car from a friend rather than a dealership! Awesome guy! Even took the time to help transfer car seats from my old car to the new! Ask for Elijah!!
Feb 19, 2017
Elijah Tucker was awesome
The dealership was very busy the Saturday I went and Elijah gave me his full attention and found the best car for me. There was no floor mats I discovered when got home and he personally got them for me
Feb 16, 2017
"Elijah made us feel right at home"
Having just moved from out of state Elijah Tucker and the rest of the Kia Country team made us feel like we had lived here forever. Very courteous and respectful.
Feb 11, 2017
Another great experience
I worked with Elijah Tucker to trade in my Sportage for a Sorento because I wanted something a little bigger. He worked with me to get the deal I wanted on the car I wanted. Very respectful and considerate salesman and dealership!
Feb 10, 2017
Kudo's to the TEAM Spirit of Kia Country of Charleston!!
I have been a customer of Kia Country for over 5 years, have purchased 2 vehicles, both Kia Optima's at this location and have ALWAYS dealt with Mitch Jones, Chelsea, and Tim Cooley. You have taken my salesman away, Sam Washington, and relocated him to Savannah but Elijah Tucker, who is also someone with great selling skills, I have recently been in contact with. I often think of going elsewhere to purchase a new vehicle, however, in my heart, I know that I will not get the GREAT, I mean.....GREAT Customer Service that I receive at this location. I can pick at them, poke at them, come in with a bad attitude and no matter what, Its a great day at Kia! Special thanks to all the staff, even the mechanics. Everyone has a great attitude and always goes out of their way to keep me, the customer, with a smile on my face!
Feb 08, 2017
3rd new vehicle purchase from Kia Country
We just replaced our old and tired Sportage with a new 2016 Soul. This is our 3rd purchase from Kia Country. Elijah Tucker was incredibly accommodating and helpful..We have found KC's Service to be outstanding as well since our first purchase some 10 years ago. We're very appreciative of their willingness to explain and perform honest service. Thanks Mitch, Melissa, and Chelsea.
Feb 03, 2017
THIS IS THE WAY TO GO
MY SALESMAN WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. I WOULD PURCHASE AGAIN. I WILL RECOMMEND THIS KIA DEALER TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. GOOD JOB! ONE OF THE BEST DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE VISITED.
Feb 01, 2017
Awesome
This being my first car I was dead set on getting exactly what I wanted. I researched on line for a while and found this wonderful dealership so close to home. I put in my interest and immediately received a call from Mike. He helped me set up an appointment for a test drive and everything. Upon getting there, I was introduced to Elijah who took me and my 2011 Kia Soul for a spin. He was very engaging and explained the features of the car fairly well. After discussing with Elijah, I was able to get the car in my target pricing. I'm very happy with my new car. Thank you Kia Country!

The Best Customer Service
With all the choices for new or used car shopping, for me it boils down to good old fashioned customer service. KIA West Ashley Team understands that.
Jan 15, 2017
Professional, fast & great customer service!
I totaled my car and I found this Honda online through carguru.com. I contacted Elijah Tucker and he immediately went to see if the car was still on the lot he took a picture I went and looked at another place and came back the same day with a check! It was exactly what I wanted! Plus they took very good care of me and I'd recommend Kia Country to any and everyone. My mother also just bought a 2016 Kia Forte from there 7 months ago! They really do take care of you!! Thank you again Elijah!
Jan 11, 2017
What I wanted for what I wanted to pay!
Elijah and Carlos were able to get me into a fully loaded 2017 Sorento and for exactly what I wanted to pay. It has all the bells and whistles for the best price on the market for a mid size, 3rd row SUV. They gave me a their bottom line price with no run arounds. Their customer service was top of the line and I normally hate buying cars. This is my 2nd vehicle I've bought at Kia Country and I will be back.
Jan 05, 2017
Elijah is the best
Elijah is so nice and helpful, and it's easy to see he's there to help you find exactly what you're looking for at the best price.
Jan 01, 2017

Jan 01, 2017
Great car, informative & helpful sales person.
Elijah listened to my requirements and delivered the Optimal solution. We worked with Carlos Lowe to get this deal done! Wishing Charleston Kia an awesome 2017.
Jan 01, 2017
Very great and understanding enviroment
Elijah helped me as a first time car buyer understand the responsibilities and options I had at arms reach. He simplified everything for me and was very understanding of my limits. Elijah had me understand that building credit will allow me to help me all throughout life. As my first car I was very comfortable knowing I was driving off the lot with the right car. I was very satisfied with my experience.
Dec 31, 2016
Amazing experience with Elijah Tucker!
Elijah was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It was a no-pressure experience, and I'm very happy with my new car. This is the fourth car I've gotten from Kia Country... The entire dealership is wonderful to work with!
Dec 30, 2016
EXCELLENT SALEMANSHIP
MY WIFE AND I WERE VERY COMFORTABLE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VISIT. EVERY MEMBER OF THE TEAM WERE FRIENDLY, PATIENT AND HELPFUL. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS DEALERSHIP TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE. CHARLESTON CHARMING!
Dec 23, 2016
excellent service
The salesman was very friendly and did everything he could do in order for me to get a new vehicle. Elijah knows this vehicle inside and out. Elijah was not pushy!! This made you feel comfortable. The finance person Jeremey Wilson made you feel relaxed and comfortable.
Dec 19, 2016
Excellent customer service
This was my second purchase with Kia Country of Charleston and I have to say that both times I have received excellent service from all the employees who helped with my decision and transaction, I could not recommend them enough and will continue to use this company for all my vehicle purchases and automotive services. Thank you again!

Loyal_Customer
2nd time buyer in less than a year and can't say enough how pleased I am to buy from Kia. Thanks to Salesman Lance Williams, what a great experience from greeting to leaving. I had the best experience, got the best deal, and just felt good about the whole process. I even got a follow up call to check on me from Lance. My previous cars have been luxury Mercedes and BMW but there was no service after the sale. I even two Mercedes in one month and nothing. My new Kia is a Great looking car and the deal I got was outstanding, plus the experience was better than any other because of the sales Team and Finance. I am a loyal customer for Kia.
Nov 17, 2016
Elijah Tucker and KIA Country of Charleston ROCK!!!!
Being served by Elijah Tucker was one of the most positive sales experiences of my life. He is clearly blessed with the gift of hospitality, making me feel thoroughly welcomed and valued as a customer. He understood exactly what I was looking for within my price range and zeroed in on the perfect car for me. He took time with me, patiently answering all of my questions and volunteering much helpful information. Not once did I feel he was "making a sale." Rather, he was seeking my best interest and satisfaction. Elijah's presence on the team of KIA Country of Charleston speaks very well of the dealership. Top-flight customer service!
Oct 31, 2016
Great car buying experience with Kia country
Thanks to Elijah and the rest of the team, I was able to get a great new car that met my needs within my budget. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a new car.
Oct 15, 2016
We Love our new Forte!
I called in before we came and spoke to Mike Brand, and he spoke with us and then introduced us to Elijah Tucker. We came in to look at a new Forte to replace my wife's aging Rondo, and Mr. Tucker was incredibly helpful. He showed us the current stock of Forte's and Forte hatchbacks. We never felt pressured, and the entire procedure was stress free. We ended up choosing a Forte 5 door hatchback ex model, and my wife loves it. When I decide to replace my Buick, I know where I will be returning to. Thank you for making our Purchase today such a pleasurable experience.
Oct 13, 2016
Easy, excellent experience buying a new car
our experience was flawless in purchasing our new Sorento. Elijah was knowledgable and tireless in making our purchase enjoyable and giving us a sense of confidence in the dealership. He oversaw the transaction from beginning to end in a hands on manner and I can not remember a better car purchasing experience.
Sep 24, 2016
Buying used car

Elijah has been and is the most honest car salesman I have e
Elijah makes this experience so much easier and hassle free. We have been buying cars from him since our first Kia at Lowcountry Kia in 2005.
Aug 02, 2016
Great service and follow up!
I had a great experience at Kia Country. The employees were very friendly and Elijah was a great salesman. He was very knowledgeable about all of the cars that I test drove and made the whole experience run smooth. After a medical emergency, he also followed up and made sure everything was ok with my family and I, which was very considerate and not something i would expect from a car dealership. If you love family friendly service and are looking for a car, Elijah and Kia Country are who you should work with.
Jul 29, 2016
elijah tucker
plain and simple. Elijah tucker is the reason I would recommend this dealership. I will freely recommend him to anyone I know that may be endeavoring a new car purchase.
Jul 21, 2016
New car purchase
This Is the third vehicle I have purchased at Kai Country and each time I have received amazing customer service from the sales and service departments. I will return to Kia Country when I am in the market for another vehicle.
Jul 15, 2016
Great Dealership
Kia Country of Charleston was great! The customer service was excellent, and I absolutely love my new Kia Soul! I would recommend Kia Country to anybody looking for a new or used vehicle.
Jul 08, 2016
Awesome!
Loved working with the Kia crew, Elijah, the Sales Manager and the Financing Manager. No one pressured me and no game playing! Great and relatively short transaction from the time I drove onto the lot until I left with my new Kia Soul. I would definitely recommend this group for your next vehicle experience.
Jul 01, 2016
Smooth Sailing
Completely relaxed and transparent transaction as I leased a vehicle for the first time. Elijah, my Sales Consultant, and Carlos, the Sales Manager treated me fairly and competently. If they didn't know an answer immediately, they would say so; then they researched the answer and always closed the loop with me. I made an offer which I thought was fair; they were able to beat it and helped me drive away "under budget". Now I'm looking forward to learning to operate the myriad bells and whistles on my new Sorento. (There sure are a lot of them for the price of this car!)
Jun 14, 2016
good experience
I saw a truck that I wanted to see online and spoke with the internet manager, who asked me to ask for him when I got there. I did that, and he promptly cycled me to one of the salespeople. My "product specialist" name was Elijah and I gotta say, really liked this guy! Being that it was a Kia dealership, it wasn't too much of a surprise that he didn't know a ton about the giant Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 that I was interested in, but he was forthcoming about that and always willing to get additional help to answer any questions I had about it. He had the truck cleaned so I could see what it looked like without the layer of dust that was on it and I appreciated the level of service that he offered. We didn't have any restrictions on our test drive time or distance and that gave me the time I needed to get a very good feel for the vehicle I was interested in. The purchase process was pretty simple and they worked with me a little on the price, approaching what I wanted to pay for the vehicle. All in all, I feel I was dealt with fairly, professionally and friendly. I'd have no problems sending a friend here to buy a vehicle. Thank you!
Jun 13, 2016
Pleasurable Experience
It's always a pleasure to shop for cars at Kia Country. I've been dealing with Elijah Tucker for many years and he is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful in all aspects of the purchasing process. There's never a gimmick or an attempt to sell you a vehicle you're not interested in. The focus is always on you the customer and your preferences in the vehicle you're interested in. Also, Carlos and Brian are instrumental in the sales process and are very helpful and have the customer's interests at heart always. Mitch, the service manager, is also a very valuable asset to Kia Country, as he runs a very efficient service department along with his team. The sales and service department both offer the best experience I have ever found in an automobile dealership, and this latest purchase last week was, if I'm counting right, my 10th vehicle I've purchased from Kia Country and I plan on staying with them for all future purchases.

Love my New Sorento
You can see from the big smile on my face that I am a very happy customer! Elijah and Mark and everyone at Kia Country made buying a new Sorento a great experience. My husband did a lot of research online looking for the right vehicle at the best price and we found the most bang for our bucks at Kia Country with the Sorento. The car was exactly what we wanted and we were simply presented with options and not pressured in any way. We liked the fact that there was no haggling. The first deal offered was a good one. Looking forward to years of great service and happy memories made possible by Kia Country! Thanks Everyone at Kia Country!
May 10, 2016
Excellent selection, great customer service!
Elijah was extremely helpful, and made this a pleasant car buying experience. I LOVE KIA COUNTRY!!! I have been with them for the past 7 years. They are my dealership for life!!! Chelsea, Mitch, and Tim and the service dept. all get kudos too. KIA COUNTRY IS GREAT!!!!!!
May 07, 2016
A + experience

Elijah Is The BEST!
My experience was easy and friendly, and now I have the best car ever! I felt like they really listened to my concerns and worked with me to get me in the car that I wanted!
Apr 24, 2016
Excellent car salesman and nice dealership
Mr Elijah Tucker is an experienced car salesman who is knowledgeable and patient. He was helpful in all aspects of the new car purchase. Thank you.
Apr 24, 2016
Got a great car for a great price.
We worked with two salesmen: Todd Carson and Elijah Tucker. They were both very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions, and went above and beyond to make us happy. At first we were considering a used car, but they got us into a new car with an awesome warranty package. The 2016 Kia Optima reviews rated it a 10 in Safety and it had great ratings for performance and reliability. Jeremy Wilson was also super fast in getting us financed. Overall Awesome experience!
Apr 20, 2016
Very Good Experience
I decided to test drive a vehicle with Kia Country of Charleston because of their high customer service reviews. I was looking to purchase a car for the first time and I wanted the experience to be as painless as possible. Elijah Tucker took me and my husband on a test ride of a 2016 Kia Soul and I was impressed by how easy going and laid back he was. He didn't try to persuade us to upgrade to a more expensive model and he was very nice and calm. I got more for my trade-in than I expected so that was a nice extra. Overall it was a very good buying experience and the service center is much better than the Ford dealership down the road.
Apr 18, 2016
Easy to work with
This is the second car I have purchased from Elijah at Kia Country. He is easy to work with and gets you what you want. Corey is great too

Lance Williams
Lance Williams above all knew his product . He was personable,professional, straight forward , therefore gaining my trust. He listened to me and answered every question . He assured me of his help in the future with getting to know my car. I would recommend him to anyone. Jeannette Bertasso
Sep 17, 2015
Great experience!
Elijah Tucker was the best salesperson I could have asked for. He not only answered all my questions, he also was a really fun car-test-driving companion! Elijah and others at the dealership took time to go over several financing options with me until we found the right one. I received a good deal on a new car and reduced my monthly car payment significantly! I am thrilled with my new Soul and will recommend KIA Country of Charleston and Elijah Tucker to anyone looking for a no-pressure, positive car-buying experience.
Sep 07, 2015
Things turned around for the better
Ayanna & Elijah were 2 of the most amazing people at the dealership. I dealt with them strictly over the phone. My family was very precise in the type of vehicle we wanted and had it all mapped out as to what color and the particular extra package we wanted on the vehicle. After a misunderstanding in the ordering of the wrong vehicle. We were promised that they would order the correct vehicle and would have it by Monday. It was delivered to our home & all is well. Thank you once again Ayanna & Elijah The Williams Family
Jul 16, 2015
Consistently efficient and reasonable
I have been using Kia Country of Charleston exclusively for years through two cars, one old and troublesome and the second bought brand new from the dealership. I have nothing but good things to say about them. They deliver personalized service, reasonable pricing, honest evaluations and pleasant attitudes. If you can get a few more miles out of your brakes, they will tell you that, and not just replace them for the extra $$. I trust them and I like them.
May 02, 2015
Worked had to meet my needs
Gave me advice prior to my purchase that saved me lots of money!! As a new business entrepreneur, I was able to upgrade my purchase and save money long term based off the information provided by Daniel and Elijah. This is what makes Kia Country successful and also why I Highly Recommend them for your next Kia Purchase!!
Dec 08, 2014
An A+ experience!
As a retired College Professor, I'm always hoping for an A+ experience and finally got one with Courtney and Elijah! This is my third Kia.

My 4th Car @ Kia Country , Please Read BEFORE You Buy!!!
Hello , My name is Tzahi and I live In Myrtle Beach , SC. I have no words how to tell you how much I love to do business with the people @ Kia Country. My relationship with Kia Country starts back on 2006 when I purchased my new car, It was brand new Kia Sorento 2006. I was searching for a new kia back then and Kia Country beat the price I got from Myrtle Beat Myrtle Beach Kia by over 40% , Myrtle Beach Kia has a "Buy One Get One "FREE" promotion back then and what they did is actually double the price of the car but I didn't BUY this promo and I tried Wilmington NC , Florence and then Kia Country in Charleston , they ask for 26k+ and Kia Country sold me the same car over the phone with the same equipment for $18,188 out of the door. salesmen back then was Jermine but he is no longer work there. Since then I purchased A brand new Kia Borrego 2009 , a brand new Kia Sedona 2010 and now my 4th one is Kia Sedona 2015. I have no way to share how every single sale was so smooth , so patient , every time when I had a question they call back or answer right on the the moment. Every single person in that place is deserve a big star , start with salespersons , the management and the finance dept. I can't review on service because I never had my cars service there because I live in Myrtle Beach and its like 2 hours drive. On every single transaction I was very nag about the price and they still tried to beat or reduced the payment for me just to make me happy. When I purchased my 2011 Sedona I had a situation with the mirror and they credit me $100 back because of the misunderstood - It was taking care by Steve the manager. This time again , I sit with salesperson with Myrtle Beach Kia and I almost signed a lease deal for $420/month with 15,000 miles , I told the salesperson I will not sign any docs until I check with kia country and thats what I did , I called Steve and ask if it worth for me to lease and not to buy and he explained over the phone and told me don't sign I will get you a better price. Steve called afrer 5 min maybe with offer for same car , same equipment with same mileage for $280/month and $2700 down while Myrtle Beach was again $420/month and $3500 down. I then told Steve to get me the model I want and he found me one in GA , the only SX-LIMITED in the area and exchange with another dealer. I just don't know how to thank him! Now , When I went to pickup my new Sedona EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE OFFICE STEPPED OUTSIDE TO SEE THE CAR BC IT WAS THE ONLY SX-L IN THE AREA FULLY LOADED! THIS CAR IS JUST LIKE A SPACESHIP! Mr Tucker himself open the door for us , explain every single button on the car then Steve joined him and cover what was unknown for Tucker. I just have no words. I suggest every single person who want to buy Kia , TRY KIA COUNTRY AFTER YOU GET A QUOTE FROM ANOTHER DEALER , THEY WILL BEAT THE PRICE!!! I own a beach store , I have nothing to do with Kia Country , Im not a partner there (I wish) and I don't know the employees , management or the owners directly , I'm another happy customer. My beach store phone number is 843-238-0603 Just in case you want to confirm this review. They will do anything to help you , to make you happy and let you feel like you worth a million dollar there , they look at you on your eye level , they don't hassle or push you to buy because of one reason , they already know you be back because none of the dealers in SC can give you the price they will! I promise you ! Give it a try! Before I forget I want to thank Brian Smith as well for his help , this guy will work with you on your papers and signatures , very honest , will answer any question you have. Thank you Brian. I will be on my way soon to lease probably the 2015 Sorento and trade my 2009 Boreggo. I don't know why I know I can say that with confident but I really trust 3 people there , Elijah Tucker , Steve Appelbaum and Brian Smith because I work with them directly and if they said , say , promise or tell you something you can trust them !!! THANK YOU KIA COUNTRY SORRY FOR THE LONG REVIEW BUT I HAVE TO!

"Elijah's The Man"
This is our second Kia we have bought from Kia Country and Elijah. He understands what we want and makes no promises as to price or what he can do. He knows a lot about the product he is selling and does not try to sell you on something that you do not want. My wife loves her new Sorrento and we would not hesitate to come back again to Kia Country and Elijah.
Nov 02, 2014
Elijah is the man
Even two years after our recent purchase of 2 kias - elijah still shows that he cares...whether it's when we pop in for service, or check out the new line - knowing that we are a year before another purchase - he treats us like we're friends. kudos to him and we'll stay in touch.. and looking forward to our 2016 next year.
Nov 01, 2014
Our Sales Experience
Just had to comment on the quality of service that Elijah Tucker gave us. He, by far, went above and beyond and all the time he spent with us trying to find the right car and the right deal within our budget was very rare. We highly commend him for his excellent service and time that he took to help us. We will be passing his name along to anyone we know that is in the market for a car. We love our new Sorento! With many thanks to you again, Elijah, Herbie Morris Suzie Stallone
Oct 31, 2014
The best in the business
He has helped out my family and is truly the best in the business. I personally have never been treated better in a dealership in my life.
Oct 31, 2014
Experience
As a loyal (I think) KIA customer (on my 5th KIA) and a customer of KIA Country for 8 years I consider them as an excellent and model dealership and example others should follow.

I was so pleased with my salesman Elijah, it was like I had known him before. I felt that he was going to do the right thing and give me the best deal. A very knowledgeable salesman.
