Featured Customer Review
In the past month I went to 8-9 different dealerships to buy both a car for my family and a car for myself. During that time, I talked to about 15 salespeople. Stephen over at DARCARS Kia was by far the most knowledgeable & friendliest one that I met. I had no plans to buy a KIA, but after Stephen walked me through all of the features of the K5, I knew it was the best car in the price range I was looking at. Stephen is excellent at his job, and KIA is definitely a great car. If you're in the market, I would highly recommend going to see him over at DARCARS, even if you were not originally planning to get a KIA.
