John Noble and Tyler McIntosh were great to work with at Bill Byrd Kia. They were helping me to find a car at other dealerships, and when all that proved unavailable, they helped me with a different model they had on the lot. They were courteous, professional, communicative of what was going on, and got me the car I wanted at the payment I asked for. Both of them and all the other staff (from reception to finance) were as nice and helpful as could be. Will definitely be returning here when it comes time to purchase another vehicle.

Thank you Mike for making it happen on a brand new 2022 K5! Excellent service with all the people that worked with me on this purchase. Everyone was so friendly I felt like I was at a family reunion.

Had such a great experience buying my new 2022 Kia telluride from John Noble of Bill Byrd Kia. He was friendly and knowledgeable and didn’t give off the typical sales person vibe. He didn’t pressure me into getting anything I didn’t want and he didn’t just agree with everything I said to make the sale. Would absolutely buy from john at bill Byrd again!

Bill Byrd Kia is a Great Place to buy a car. They are a Team and work very well together. No pushy sales. They are eager to satisfy and seem to truly care about your needs. John Noble was our sales rep. Wonderful friendly person as well as the rest of the team. We highly recommend Bill Byrd Kia for your next car purchase.👍

Service experience excellent: Scheduled online for my Kia Telluride which had some shaking. Service adviser Alan was on time, friendly and knowledgeable with years of experience. He knew what the problem was after he listened to me the customer. I expected to have to come back to have service completed once they had part but miraculously they had the part in stock. I was out of the store in under 2 hours. Waiting area was nice- coffee, bottle water, snacks, magazines, wifi, phone chargers & comfortable chairs. This place was MUCH better than expected.

Not impressed with their parts inventory or their staff. I have been trying to find an OEM part for my Kia that has been missing for a couple of months and they were no help. I ordered the part well over two months ago with them over the phone and never got it even with me calling every Monday to find it. Finally drove up there and turns out they had not even ordered the part. So the parts employee ordered the part with me standing there at the desk. 2 days later they call me to me to tell me that they didn’t have the special nut that I needed so they went ahead and ordered the entire wiring assembly for the engine which includes the nut and it was ready for pickup and I owe them $300 for it. I refused to pay $300 for a wiring assembly that I didn’t need and they said it’s the only way I could get the nut that I’m needing. So I’ll be searching local junk yards for the bolt that I need

This place is not what I thought. Bought a car that I still have scratches that havent been rectified. This is the first place Ive seen put the incorrect miles on a DMV document, then have the nerve to say that it was a mistake. Honestly wouldnt recommend. A used car dealer would have done a better job. Total disappointment.

Great place to buy a car . Dennis gave me a deal on a Mazda rx-8 that I couldnt refuse .treated my wife and I like family. Only took a hour for all the paper work it was worth the drive .I live 190 miles away and would buy from them again.

My husband and I were very impressed with this dealership. On Saturday, August 7, 2021, we visited this dealership to see about purchasing a car. I had been communicating with Jason (sales associate) via texting and by phone a few days before actually going to the dealership. I will admit I was skeptical when Jason said he would be able to get me the car I wanted with the payments I wanted. My husband and I drove an hour and a half to the dealership. I loved the car when I saw it. Jason was great, and true to his word. He got the payments to where I wanted them. They were also fair with my trade in..This was the best experience we have ever had when purchasing a car. We were in and out within three hours with my 2021 Kia Forte GT with the GT2 package...it is loaded! The sales/finance guys were great as well. Go see Jason at Bill Byrd Kia in Panama City, FL; you will be glad you did. We will definitely be future customers!! 🥰

Nick Harris gave us hands down the best sales experience we’ve ever had purchasing a car (and I’ve bought quite a few cars). I called ahead of time to be sure the vehicle I wanted to see was available. I drove straight there from the beach and he had the van pulled out, washed, and had even blown up balloons for it! The numbers were easy to understand and made sense. The manager (I believe that’s his title- he’s the person who ultimately approved the price) gave us a bit of a rambling speech that sounded like old-school car selling tactics and had an “oz behind the curtain” vibe as we couldn’t talk to him or meet him until very close to the end of the process. Nick remained absolutely professional and made sure we completely understood everything (we did). Then we went to Tyler who was absolutely wonderful as well. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in picking the add-on packages that were right for us, and he was very honest about some that wouldn’t make the most financial sense for us as well. Once all the paperwork was done the detailing department had gone so Nick scheduled a time (around my convenience, of course) to come back and have my van detailed for free. Overall Bill Byrd seems to have a great team. Knowledgeable, helpful, personable, and genuinely good guys. 10/10 recommend :)

Have to say thank you to JR, TJ, and Jason... really a class act. It was good catching up since I used to have a seat there. I purchased a 2019 Kia Optima and couldnt be happier. These guys did an excellent job from top to bottom. The honesty was contagious from start to finish! Highly recommended! Thanks yall.

I came back from serving overseas in the UK for 4 years and needed to get a new car as I was not able to take back my UK spec due to the years it had on it. I also ran into a lot of car issues and headaches my last 4 months there when my first UK car finally broke down.I had researched Kia in PCB while I was on leave and was thinking of purchasing a new car or a 2021 version in order to make sure I didnt run into car issues.I was looking for a Kia Forte, but it had been taken off the website a day or two prior. When I asked if they had anything similar, Jason pointed me to a 2021 Kia K5 that was in the Sapphire Blue color that I had liked. This came with more cargo space and a lot of great features w/the car, but it had been drive for 3,500 miles so it took off about $7K of its normal value.Coming back overseas, I was awaiting on my renewed Missouri Drivers license, but Jason was extremely patient and found workarounds for the issues I was facing. It took about 4-5 hours to get the documents required from USAA, but Jason was willing to work with me through the whole experience.Additionally, Tyler was a great help and assisted in lowering some of the prices for being military and gave me some great recommendations on what I should add onto signing for the car. He also recommended paying the minimum to help increase my credit score w/big purchases as my credit score was about as high as I could get it (showed me the big picture of why I should pay it off over time vs. right away).Both members were amazing and Im very much enjoying my new car and couldnt sing their praises any higher for all the hassle they had to go through for me! God bless and couldnt recommend this company enough to those out there!- Logan Davis

Dennis is an awesome Kia representstive. The entire team at Bill Byrd Kia in Panama city, FL. are AWESOME. They treat all people with love and care.

Review №25

I have been a loyal customer for years. I have not had the greatest experiences when it came to trading in my cars with them. I called today because I had gotten a flyer about trading in my used 2019 car due to the demand. I called to inquire, and get a rough estimate about how much my trade in would be worth. I felt the salesman Jason, had no interest in helping me. It was almost like I was wasting his time. With Covid, I didn’t feel comfortable going in, and going through the long process without getting an idea of what to expect. I just wanted to get an idea. BIG MISTAKE!!! I will take my business elsewhere. I just wanted to stay Kia loyal. Th staff has changed, but I can’t even say for sure that this gentleman was new. That would atleast give some sort of excuse for the behavior.

Great car-buying experience! I believe I could even say that it was enjoyable... Is it possible to associate enjoyable with purchasing a vehicle? Yes, definitely. The personable, professional staff did not employ any high-pressure or up-sell tactics. They asked specifically what type of vehicle we were looking to buy and the price and rates we were hoping to get. Our Sales Rep, John Noble, and the Business Manager, Tyler McIntosh, worked diligently to secure very favorable financing for the SUV we selected. We look forward to doing business with them at Bill Byrd Kia again in the future.

It is a very professional and service-minded environment; I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a good, reliable vehicle!

My Sales rep was very knowledgeable and professional. He listed to what I was looking for in a car and narrowed it down to two perfect matches. I am very happy with his advice to go with the New 2021 Niro EV! It is a fantastic crossover that provides me with a little more room than my Kia Soul without breaking the bank and sacrificing fuel efficiency! This is my second Kia purchased at Bill Byrd Kia. I highly recommend anyone car shopping to go see TJ Washington before making a final decision to purchase a vehicle from another dealership. Kia has proven to be a leader in reliability, affordability, and comfort.

My wife and I researched and called every dealer in the Panhandle of Florida, South Alabama and Georgia for months. We decided on doing business with Bill Byrd Kia. Mike Cross was great to work with throughout this process and one of the main reasons we drove two and half hours to close the deal. We decided on purchasing a 2022 Kia Telluride SX Nightfall Prestige AWD. Bill Byrd Kia has the most fair deals in the southeastern region, if not the country. Mike, thank you for making the process easy, painless, and keeping us informed through the build, ordering, and delivery process. Awesome car buying experience!🙏🏽🤙🏽

Do not recommend this dealership. I’ve bought a 2019 Kia Forte from them when it was brand new. Fast forward to now and the car has had two transmission replacements. The radio screen is delaminating and the dealership was made aware of it at 35,000 miles. The service agent Tyler told me the radio will have to be ordered. Just got a call today because the dealership has a mileage discrepancy in their system for my car and the radio will not be covered under the warranty because of their mistake. This dealership is a scam and buyer beware because they are crooks and will not work with you and lie about warranty work. I’m extremely disappointed, Kia has been notified along with BBB.

We have never bought a brand new car before. We bought a 2021 Kia soul that only had 10 miles on it when we drove off the lot. Jason in Panama City Florida at Bill Byrd Kia was our salesman. He was very helpful in explaining the process. The time we walked in the door until we drove away with our new car was very quick. Tyler the financial man was very helpful in explaining the warranties and extras we purchased. I would recommend them to anyone. They were not pushy. They were honest and we felt they really wanted to help us.

This does not reflect on their service or salesmanship as I wouldnt know. I was merely there to get maintenance done on a vehicle for a family member. This is during the covid -19 pandemic, No one, not a single customer or worker was wearing a mask. These people pretend to care and try very hard to show it with their cheerful attitudes and free snacks and coffee but neglect to realize how important it is to make their customers feel safe. These people clearly do not care about your life, or your loved ones lives.

I can not say enough kind words about this dealership nor the amazing employees. I rolled in with a busted radiator as a single mother with my 2 month old son with me and very little money. Not only did they care for my son and make sure he was ok but when I went to pick up my car it ran amazing and was very well within budget. Allen the service manager cared for me and my situation like I was family. As soon as I can buy a car it will always be from BILL BYRD KIA!!

I went in January 14, 2021 to buy myself a car and Nick greeted me and my mom at her vehicle. He was a gentleman, extremely friendly and instantly made us feel comfortable and welcomed. He asked me what exactly I was looking for and my price range and walked us through every vehicle meeting the price range I was in. I found the perfect car which they just got on the lot, we test drove it went over ever aspect of the car and I loved it! Nick was more than willing to make sure it stayed in my price range when he went to negotiate for me which it did! The entire staff is extremely friendly and comforting they always offer you snacks, drinks ect. They got all my paperwork for my 2016 Kia Forte done and ready for me extremely quick and made sure I left the lot happy with my Forte. All in all I would definitely recommend going to Bill Byrd Kia in Panama City FL for any of your vehicle needs. They are astounding, amazing and all around a wholesome fantastic business!

This is my second vehicle my husband and I have bought from Kia! The first one we bought was with Mike and this time we had Dennis. Great experiences both times! This time I actually came in for an oil change and to get something looked at, but Dennis being the amazing salesman he is, had me driving away in a brand new 2021 Forte GT instead lol. He was never once pushy. He asked me how long we had the 1st vehicle for, how our credit is since then, and how our payment history looked. I told him 1.5 years, higher credit score than before, and a great payment history. Dennis then said, Let us worry about taking care of this vehicle and lets upgrade you to a 2021 In my head I was thinking yea right, but I was willing to entertain the idea. Well Dennis was serious. I drove out of Kia with an upgraded car, a lower interest rate, no money down, they basically ate what i was upside down on, and my payments really arent too much higher. While test driving cars with him he made me comfortable, showed me the differences between my current car and the ones i was testing, and answered all of my questions. We had an issue with the DMV and a wrecking service and he got on the phone and got us all of the info needed to take care of it. (We took care of it the next day Dennis! Thank you!) Dennis is a great salesman, personable, and knows his job. He took the lead and made things easy for us. I also cant forget to mention Tyler. He was awesome! He walked me and my husband through all of the paperwork and made sure we understood everything we were signing. He has great energy, made us comfortable, and knows his job well! He explained all of the extra protection we could add and broke it down so we knew exactly what it was and how it worked. He wasnt pushy. He just explained the facts, gave examples on how it all worked, then gave us time to make a decision. Im very happy! I cant get over how great my warranty is! We will be back when its time to upgrade again! Thank you!!

Looking at 2021 sportage sticker of 26280 less 2k (to my knowledge) mfg (not dealer) rebate = 24280.Was trading in 2013 sportage w/ 65500 miles. They start trade at 7800 - after talking - 8700 (reasonable). 24280 less 8700 = 15580.Their best price was @ $17840. As I think they get inventory purchase credit for the mfg rebate, it seemed like they really weren’t coming down from getting their full price for the car. Going from $15580 to $17840, seemed like they weren’t negotiating any on their side by agreeing to absorb tax, title, license and misc little fees.Maybe I’m confused, but the numbers indicate to me that they were going to get the full dealer price for the car plus the profit on reselling my trade in. I really wasn’t getting much of a deal here.Am I confused? Is my math wrong? Any one have any thoughts to help me? Really wanted the 2021 sportage.

I had an awesome experience Purchasing my new 2021 Kia Telluride! The sales team was professional and courteous and the process was rather quick. My salesman even went the extra mile to swap my belongings over from my old car to my new one while I was finishing up the paperwork.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Bill Byrd Kia for being so efficient and helpful even a year plus after I bought my car there. The service department is excellent and in particular Ive been helped several times by Angie Kaspar. She is *wonderful* and I suspect she is the glue that keeps the dealership together. Or at least I think so! Everyone keep up the good work.

This was the best car purchase experience I have ever had all thanks to Dennis. The Kia dealership team and Dennis were nothing but professional and experienced. I had nothing but a smile on my face the entire time I was at this dealership. Dennis elaborated on every feature of the GT2 2021 Kia Stinger that I purchased and was very helpful. I recommend anyone looking for a reliable sports car to go buy a Kia Stinger from this dealership. Awesome people and an amazing dealership.

TJ WASHINGTON is who you see for the experience you want. Fast, Knowledgeable and Responsive!!!! Worked with me on what we wanted and got us what we needed!! Just got 2 Kias from him so it will be awhile before I’m back but I will be back to buy from him again where ever he goes. TJ gets full credit for the sale by far and the the great service I’ve ever had at a dealership!!

I cannot say enough good things!! Everyone at the dealership was so helpful and accommodating from start to finish. I totaled my previous car 2 weeks ago and have been stressing the car buying process but they made it so easy, Dennis Fullwood helped to put me into an adorable little Rio that was completely within my budget!

I called in Wednesday morning and spoke to a nice lady on the phone about issues I has having with my car that was still under warranty. I asked if any diagnostic fees would have to be paid, and she said no. So, I took my car in later that day. When I dropped off my car, I told them to call me before they do ANY work on my car and they said they would. I get a call later the next day, saying my car is ready to be picked up, and how much I owe. I said I never authorized them to do any work on my car, but they said I did. I just picked up my car, and I asked to see the signature page, and there was a line above my signature that said I agreed to pay anything at or below $128. When I signed the paperwork, I did not write anything on that line. And they NEVER said we will call you if the work would go above $128 they ONLY said, yes, we will call you BEFORE we do any work on your carI am very upset with this experience. I was told I wouldnt have to pay a diagnostic fee, then I ended up paying a diagnostic fee that I did not even authorize. I wanted to be called before they did anything on my car and they failed to do so.

This was very friendly. TJ Washington was our salesperson and did an awesome job! Understood our need to be in and out fairly quickly.They didn’t do the whole going back and forth many times about price. We even had to come back and it was no problem. He was so knowledgeable about all the features and took the time to explain everything(even things I have on my older Kia that I had no idea what they were for because they weren’t explained). Normally do not like the process of buying a new car but he and Tyler the finance manager were great. Thank you

My experience at bill byrd kea could not have been any better. Dennis Fulwood was just a great sales person who took his time to set up my phone, and walk me through the hole sales prosses. I highly recommend Dennis at Bill Byrd kea. Thank You again.

Bill Byrd Kia is absolutely the best dealership in this town. Today is a prime example of why they are the best. My daughter bought a used certified kia a year ago. Today it had a small mechanical issue. They fixed the issue at no charge, filled up her gas tank, and vacuumed the car. I can promise you that no one else in town will do that. That is truly great customer service!! Thanks Bill Byrd Kia!

My first experience at Bill Bryd Kia was great they hooked me up on a great deal. My second experience was horrible. The dealer insulted my intelligence the whole time and tried to sell me a USED car for more than what would be considered a fair price for a brand new version of the car. Bill bryd Kia does not care about customer service or loyalty they are just looking to make a buck. Therefor non of my service needs or car needs will ever be done there again. They will tell you they are a big family there don’t buy the lie they are just scammers.

My experience last week was even better than I expected. I visit Kia often for service and this time was excellent. I had scheduled my appointment online, electing extra services that covered my concerns. When I arrived I verified my issues. After waiting approximately an hour, my car was ready. I was pleasantly surprised to not be charged for the services that did not need done after all. Rather, the issues were fixed as part of my oil change and inspection. Kia also vacuum my carpets as a courtesy. I am very happy with these results. I highly recommend Kia for your service needs.
