KEVIN went above and beyond to help me get a wonderful car that I absolutely love! I came into Kia of Bradley in full crisis mode after my old car experienced a catastrophic engine failure. Within minutes, KEVIN calmed my nerves and assured me he would be able to me a car that fit my budget. He throughly explained all of the options available to me, and was straight forward about the pros and cons of each option. He worked tirelessly for hours until I was able to get a deal I was comfortable with. If you are looking to purchase a car, ask for Kevin!!

Highly recommend!

Recently received a letter for a recall in the mail for my vehicle. Brittany had everything set up with Josh and the service department to get the parts and install them for me within 48 hours. Josh also washed my vehicle. I greatly appreciate the kindness and effort shown to me from all involved to keep me and my vehicle safe. I highly recommend Kia of Bradley for their service, professionalism and kindness. Thank you everyone for your help.

My husband and I just left and were treated very well. Austin listened to our situation and allowed us to test drive a couple of options that we were looking at online. He actually made me feel comfortable enough to do business with an actual dealer instead of going online. Thank you again, Austin!
