First off, the salesman Anthony was awesome! He was very helpful, knowledgeable and didnt make us feel pressured at all! And financing (Jerry) was super helpful and answered any and every question I had. I would definitely recommend and would buy from here again! They totally work with you. Great team and quality vehicles!

When i bought my car i was promised excellent after service and at first it was. Now i called yesterday as my sunroof will not close and cannot get an appointment until Aug 10th. I tried to explain to the girl that i work and my car sits in a parking lot all day and cannot leave sunroof open. All she would say is Im sorry. No she was not. The SERVICE DEPARTMENT is terrible with their customers. Be WEARY as i have warned you.

What can we say about Joseph Marquez at Visalia Kia? He was GREAT! Actually the entire sales team to finance team was a pleasure to work with. We had been searching for months for the vehicle we wanted. Joseph respectfully kept me updated often enough that we never had to reach out for an update.He contacted us the moment he seen it come on the lot. This is our second Kia that we have purchased and I know if there is a next time, it will be with Joseph and the Visalia Kia team.

Great customer service from the initial phone call to driving off in my new K5!! Anthony and Jerry were awesome. They were not pushy and allowed me the opportunity to get what I wanted and worked within my budget. This is the second vehicle purchased at this dealership and there will be many more I am sure between myself my family and also my friends. I would recommend Visalia Kia to anyone who is in the market for a new car. Definitely felt welcome and appreciated!! Thank you Anthony and Jerry!!

Took our new Telluride in for it’s first service. Our appointment was at 9:30. We returned at 12:30 and they hadn’t even started the car. Yenny was very nice and worked quickly to find the problem and get our car taken care of right away. Pat, however, was very rude and condescending. He spoke down to Yenny in front of all the customers that were in the service area. Not sure if we’ll go back.

Not thrilled about the quality of salesmen here. I went in knowing what I wanted and not 1 but 2 guys tried to sell me something different....really?? Took my business to another kia location and got EXACTLY what I wanted.

Million thanks to Mike Martinez for the great experience we had in purchasing our 2020 Kia Forte GT. We felt really welcome and treated like family and helping us understand everything we needed to know about the car. He even went out and washed the car for us and man did that deep sea blue stand out here n the sun. 100% satisfied in my purchased. Thanks again to mike and Visalia Kia for the great experience.

Bad customer service, false advertising. Guy was rude & actually raised the price of the vehicle we were looking at, he wouldnt run credit without his rude opinions (then found out he ran it after we left, which is FRAUD!) He tried adding one name & was just aruging over everything including their big sign, the prices & he just plain out had a bad attitude when he was forced out of his office to help. They lost our business but we found a better vehicle with better customer service & a way better deal!

This place is absolutely amazing! We bought a 2019 Nissan Rouge from them today & they works as hard as they could to make sure we left with the car we wanted all while making sure we stayed under our monthly budget!! We had already signed paperwork and took the car home when they called us 30 minutes later letting us know they were able to get us an even better percentage & so they had us come back so THEY could save US money!! These guys are truly here for YOU and are dedicated to not only getting you a great deal, but making sure you are happy and taken care of! I will forever be going back to this awesome dealership!! Huge shout out to Jerry & Eric for all their help!

I LOVED my experience buying my new Kia Sportage! Gabriel and Mario are the BEST!! VERY friendly, helpful, and knowledgable! My experience in Finance with Perla was the same! Genuine, friendly and knowledgable! We like to make our purchases with good kind people and thats what we found at Visalia Kia. I looked at another dealership and walked away because they were high pressure even though they smiled alot. However, a person knows when someone is genuine and Gabriel,Mario, and are just that! I would reccomend Visalia Kia!

In regards to the Service department, the individual (Matt) I had talked to today (10/26/20) was rude and unprofessional. I called earlier this morning to talk about a warranty and my vehicle I purchased from here in which they had to call back due to it being busy (in which I understand). When they called back I was to late to answer and honestly thought they forgot about me, since I was waiting for over an hour. When I called back they had to take my name and number again, which I understood, but when I told Matt I thought they forgot about me he rudely said “we call within an hour, usually before the hour”. So I said I’ll wait for the call back and when I looked back at my call log, they didn’t call back until more than an hour and a half. I just ask for Respect and to not be talked to unprofessionally.

Want to send a personal thank you to Gabriel Lopez, Manny Zuniga, Albert Ruiz and Perla Lopez in the finance department. For helping me finish the process and looking after me after the deal was done. Gabriel was super friendly from start to finish made the process comfortable and chill,, took care of my request with no BS. Went there earlier this morning to try to add something and was told nothing can be done. Went back later that afternoon and meet Gabriel and Manny, they took care of the additional request when others said they couldnt. If youre looking for a straight up no bs and friendly sales associate ask for Gabriel, Albert and Perla LopezManny in finance.A serious THANK YOU to all at the Visalia Kia.

I wouldnt purchase another vehicle from them they tell you that LoJack and Gap is already installed into the vehicle and their was no way to remove it. So when I called the Corporate office they told me it was optional. So if you try to go purchase a car anything extra it optional if not go to another kia dealership

Visalia Kia & Joseph gave us an absolutely amazing car buying experience. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Joseph. We knew what we wanted and he did everything to make sure we left with our brand new 2019 Kia Sorento. Joseph and his co-workers were very kind and determined to help us out. All in all we are super satisfied with our purchase and recommend Visalia Kia for your next car purchase. Thank you Visalia Kia

Drove up and was met with a friendly smile and shady little spot to park. Mike was very chill and professional, had a lot of knowledge and really just listened to what I was looking for. We test drove the car, along the way Mike was able to answer any Questions that I had about the car. Purchasing process was easy enough, I knew what I wanted and what made sense. There was not a lot of push back and at the end of the day I was happy with the outcome. Over all a very good experience. Thanks team and Mike!

A big thanks to your sales associate Mike Martinez. We recently bought a used Jeep Grand Cherokee from Visalia Kia. Even though the auto was an off brand for Kia, Mike was very knowledgeable about Jeeps and walked us through its features and amenities like a pro. He met us both days with a smile and lots of patience. He stood out among the many dealers we came across in our car search. Pam

Ask for Bianca Torres as your referral . She is an online sales rep. and will get you an awesome deal 👍 I really enjoyed our buying experience here at Kia of Visalia . Sales team was good 👌 only one hiccup was the finance person Pearla she will sneak in an extended warranty so be careful read and review all documents and dont be tricked by her greedy tactics she is the only reason this dealership didnt get a five star rating from us .

The guys I dealt with at parts were great . The service dept that I originally walked into to ask where the parts department was not so I walked in around 12 noon as was told oh there out to lunch till 1 and when i told the parts dept that they told me that at least one of them was there at that time service dept should have at least called and asked if any body was there at parts or not this was frustrating considering I was at lunch at the time and had to come back after work .

We met Mike Martinez while looking at the 2019 Optima. We own an 2006 Amanti, but it’s time to own a vehicle with new security features. Mike is an asset to the sales staff at Visalia KIA. Great customer service skills and enjoyed getting to know him. Manny was a great help also. We know our service experience will be excellent since we only allow Visalia KIA to service our Amanti from wipers to tires and everything in between. This will also be the case with out Optima.

Joseph is a rock star. We came knowing what we wanted, but Joseph admitted they didn’t have what we wanted out front. But he knew there was one on the back lot waiting to get washed and prepped. He drove us out there and that was the one. We talked numbers, but I came back the following day. It was his day off, but he answered questions from home by text. A day or two later, we came back and he handled the entire project from start to finish. This Rio replaces my trade-in, which was 14 years old and at 160,000 plus. Kia makes a great product and Joseph has the experience to take care of the process.

We bought a van from here because it was a great buy. It has a ton of options but one thing it doesn’t have even though the salesman promised me it has is Apple Car Play (we didn’t find out till after buying it that it didn’t). Wouldn’t be a big deal had we not wanted a vehicle with that option. Then when we were signing papers they couldn’t explain to me why there was a $6,000 fee on there that wasn’t labeled. Then I had to beg for a second key because why would I buy a $30,000 and then turn around and pay $500 for a second key. Long story short I will never buy from Visalia Kia again.

First time buying a car at Kia, and would definitely buy from them again. When we walked in we were greeted by Matt Villanueva who is awesome!! Instead of showing us cars and taking us for test drives in cars we couldn’t afford, he actually got to know us learned what we were looking for and what we liked. Then he checked what we could get approved for and took us for a test drive. This way we fell in love with the car we actually got! They went above and beyond for us! Thank you Matt and your amazing finance team for getting me my Optima!!!!

If I could Id give them a 0 star this is the SECOND time I attempt to do business with them and yet again they are not capable of doing so simple like a refund. Its been about a month Ive been waiting for them to refund me for an oil change. Ridiculous, how long can this process be?? and no one ever bothers to call me back and update me!! I have to call and been calling almost every other week and still NOTHING. We will definitely be taking our business elsewhere.

Went for a recall update and our car was running perfectly prior to the visit. After the recall update they informed us that our car was ready only for us to find out that when we turned it on it was now shaking. We complained about the shaking and they said we would have to bring it back in the next day because they were closing. We dont live in town and my husband had to take time off work in order to take the car in in the first place. Totally disappointmented with the customer service at this location.

I went in for a recall on my car. Everything was fine. I asked for an oil change, and to fix one of the brackets underneath my car which was hanging on a thin thread.

Got a great lease deal here a couple years ago. The service while trying to get the paperwork done was great- could have been better but nothing notable worth complaining over. HOWEVER once they get you to sign the lease its like you dont even exist. My dad left after all the paperwork was done. All we had to do was wait for the car to be cleaned and we could drive off. My boyfriend and I waited HOURS for this car to be done and not a single sales person interacted with us the entire time. It was as if people were going out of their way to ignore us. It was at least a three hour wait for the car to be cleaned.Of course, I was pretty anxious to just get out of there so I was watching for my car. I had driven it and knew exactly what it looked like. And then I saw it driving up so my boyfriend and I went outside to meet it. One of the service guys was driving it.To my surprise, he got out of the car with LUNCH. He had taken my car to McDonalds to GET LUNCH!!! In my brand new car!!!! He had french fries in his hand when he pulled up. He grabbed his food and drink and tried to laugh it off like he was hungry. Not knowing what to do, I laughed awkwardly. It had taken forever just to get the car cleaned and now this guy took it God knows how far away to get McDonalds, adding miles and dirtying it.I will forever be disappointed in Visalia Kias service because of this moment. It doesnt matter how good the customer service is while trying to get the car if this is how they treat customers once the deal is done.Disgusting and disappointing.Im hoping they can redeem themselves after the lease is up this month. I like driving a Kia and the cars are great. This was about three years ago so Ill change my rating if things go better this time.
