So happy to be a returning customer. Kia friendly experts always give great service and advice. This is my second time purchasing from Kia Country and I'll drive the extra distance to use them for service and purchasing. Elijah Tucker once again was exceptional in helping me choose the best new car for my lifestyle. It's comforting having a company with people you can trust to do good fair business and provide A+ service.

Everything from the setup of the appointment to driving off the lot went smooth and easy. Justin was attentive to our needs and worked with us on price to be where we needed to be. Couldn’t be more pleased with the whole process and will be our first choice in future car purchases.

Another terrific experience with Justine! When my beautiful 2020 Kia Optima EX was totaled in a car accident, I headed right back to Kia Country as I wanted another reliable car with a great warranty. Justine made my purchase process decision easy as he is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I closed on a 2021 K5 EX with the premium package in Everlasting Silver ... and this time, financed with Kia Motors. Zola made that process quick and easy. I love my new car ... it’s gorgeous, uber comfy and the ride is smooth. I’m happy!

This is the third vehicle I’ve purchased from Justin in just over a year and since this is my second vehicle he personally drove the 80 miles to pick me up and bring me to pick up the vehicle which made it very convenient and it allowed me to get a great deal towards the end of the model year.

My experience with Kia Country of Charleston has been great, literally from start to finish. They are not pushy and rushing you to come in and buy, which made for a more relaxed feel when coming in. Norm L'Heureux was a miracle worker. I came in wanting an upgraded version of my Kia Optima for a price that I could afford and he made it happen for me! He listened and was very understanding. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. He will not steer you wrong! Very trustworthy and will do everything he can to fulfil whatever you're needing/wanting in a vehicle.

A good experience!
We had done a fair amount of online research (on Kias and other makes) prior to visiting Kia Country. We had also visited other dealers of other makes. What sold us on buying the Kia Soul and buying it from Kia Country was the low key but involved approach of the people we met with there. Colby Kephart got things off to a good start and Norm L'Heureux and Adam Richey put together a deal that made sense for us. We drove out of there comfortable with the car, with the deal and with the people we had worked with.

Bill was the first person we encountered once we got out of our car, already defensive since we had a not so perfect experience with our last new car (and lets face it, who loves the assumed pressure of buying a car?), Bill approached with a big smile and a friendly greeting and NO PRESSURE AT ALL!!!! He pointed out the used cars we originally asked about without pushing us directly to a new car. He left us alone to look over the lot and took our trade-in for appraisal. He then met us in the parking lot and answered all of our questions. We went on a test drive and fell in love with the Sportage. No negativity going back and forth over final price and or "selling you the Brooklyn bridge" at the end, in finance, with unnecessary pricy warrantees. Overall experience was amazing!! If you know you want a Kia go see Bill Dockendorf at Kia Country of Charleston! Even if you dont want the Kia they have a nice selection of used vehicles of other makes and models! Great Experience! Will definitely recommend all of them and will go back when we are ready for our next car.

This was my second experience with Kia Country of Charleston and Tony Washington. He is engaging, friendly, and even keeled. Negotiated back and forth for a fair price and deal for a used Kia Soul. Easy to refer Tony, and I will plan to use him for my next Kia purchase. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a Kia. Market reports are super favorable to Kia’s and the test drive take matches the experts advice in head to head competition.

I put off buying a new car for two months because I hate dealing with car salespeople. Did a lot of research and decided on a Kia. Bill Dockendorf and Adam Richey were a pleasure to deal with. I felt no pressure, and got an honest vibe. Drove away with a Soul at a price that I couldn’t pass up. I love my new car. I would definitely buy a car from them again, but with the Kia reliability and warranty, I’m set for a long time. After the other dealers I have dealt with, I really can’t say enough good things about my experience with Kia Country. This is the first time I have ever written a review on a car dealer.

I was quoted a price on a new Sorento online. After several back and forth emails confirming that the vehicle was what I was looking for we drove to the dealership (over 50 miles) to view and test drive. The salesperson was fine everything progressed until she a returned from the sales manager with a price that was thousand more than I had been quoted. I provided her with a copy of the emails. She again went to the sales manager and returned saying it was a different vehicle. By now I was ready to leave however they continued to hold my keys. The sales manager came over and informed me that even though it was their mistake they would not honor the quoted price. When I said "fine give me my keys and we will leave" he became extremely rude and somewhat agitated that I would not take the vehicle for two thousand more than I was quoted. Needless to say this was the worst experience with an auto dealership that I have ever encountered in my 71 years. Bait and switch has never been acceptable but that is what this guy was xxxx bent to do. Kia Country, never again.

Tim was very laid back. I appreciate Tim not being over bearing. He allowed us to ask questions and even walked the lot with us, just to make sure we covered all the inventory in our "need list" on a vehicle. We took overnight to decide if we satisfied with our vehicle we chose. He even brought the paperwork to my office for me to sign. I used my bank for financing. So I didn't have interaction with the dealership itself....finance, etc... The transaction went smoothly and seemed a little too flawless, since it went so smoothly. 1,2,3 easy. Ask for Tim Leray when you go to Kia on Savannah Highway.

This past weekend my fiancé and I were traveling from PA to GA when our car broke down. The car needed repairs that was going to require several days for the parts to arrive, since we were on a vacation away from home and at that time had lost two days already we decided our best option would be to trade our car in on a new one. We first went to another dealer who treated us awful. After our first experience we came to Kia Country and from the moment we arrived we were treated so well by everyone. We explained our situation and that we needed an AWD vehicle (since we are from PA) and they quickly found the vehicle that would work best for us and had us on a test drive. When it came to talking price they didn’t mess around with us and play games, they gave us an amazing deal and were beyond fair with our trade. The entire process was so easy and smooth. I can’t say enough how much it meant to be treated fairly after the awful start to the vacation that we had. Mike Brand, Jason Leming and Tim Leary were all amazing!! With how amazing this experience was I would seriously consider driving from PA to SC just to buy my next vehicle with this group. Thank you all so much.

It was our son's first car, and Justin knew we needed it to be reliable, affordable, and clean....and all on our budget. He even came in on his day off to finish the paperwork. He was really patient with our questions and answered them all. Very hard working. Great experience, great guy. Thank you, Justin!

I just bought a used Pathfinder for Kia Country. I could not have done it without the help of Frank Classen. He guided me throughout all the steps I needed to take to trade in my vehicle for a Nissan Pathfinder. I was not prepared with all my documents and such. But he made it all work out without any hassle. If you need to buy a new or used car, you need to see Frank Classen.

Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. We came to a deal on a truck but they said they close at 7pm and couldn’t complete the paperwork until the next day so I put a deposit down. Then they called me the next morning and told me they sold the truck the next day without calling me first. Would not recommend giving your business to this company.
Mar 05, 2020
Finally! Car buying a pleasant experience!
I recently purchased a Kia Telluride at this dealership. Upon arriving, I met Frank Classen who was my sales professional. He asked all the right questions regarding my needs in a vehicle. He was knowledgeable and professional and had a low-key, no pressure approach which I much appreciated. He gave me all the information I needed in order to make a decision on the purchase. He was kind and respectful of my time. I have already referred him to several of my friends, and will definitely come back to him when I purchase my next car. Andy Bittner gave an excellent tutorial on how to operate all the bells and whistles on vehicle - he did a great job! Adam Richey worked with me on the paperwork via email and telephone so I did not have to come back until I was ready to pick up the car. I met with Jeremy Wilson and got through the financing part of it without a hitch within about 10 - 15 minutes, and in no time I was on my way. I have never liked the process of purchasing a vehicle, but these gentlemen made it enjoyable!

Another terrific experience with Justine! When my beautiful 2020 Kia Optima EX was totaled in a car accident, I headed right back to Kia Country as I wanted another reliable car with a great warranty. Justine made my purchase process decision easy as he is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I closed on a 2021 K5 EX with the premium package in Everlasting Silver ... and this time, financed with Kia Motors. Zola made that process quick and easy. I love my new car ... it’s gorgeous, uber comfy and the ride is smooth. I’m happy!

The biggest shout out to Justin for helping me find the perfect vehicle for me and my family. We are so appreciative. We needed a rest dependable vehicle and you more than delivered. The best car buying experience I’ve ever had. If I could rate Justin at a 10/10 he would be a 20/10. So knowledgeable about the vehicles we looked at and he knew what I needed more than I did. We are so thankful for everything.
