Harris Kia

Some salespersons were okay, some were downright rude and terrible. Harris Kia was our last stop today after a few other places. Our experience with Kurt Mason at Harris Kia was terrific right from the start. He listened, he laughed, he was genuinely interested in helping us find something that would work for us. When we liked the car we ended up buying but were not so happy with colour etc, he helped us get the deal that would work for us and we bought it right then. The experience from the moment we first shook hands with Kurt to this being the car that won us over finally (Kia Soul) was of a "rarely seen these days" high standard of excellence. It was truly a pleasure meeting him. He also went the extra distance--literally ! As only one of us drives at this time, he drove us 50 KM home on his own time and we drove him back. This was really appreciated. I would highly recommend him to any buyer and to his employers as a real gem and they are lucky to have him. We felt we had really made a genuine human connection and that was important to us. Al Foster who dealt with the money end was very personable and great to deal with also. We would recommend this dealership highly. Thank you!! We look forward to zipping about with our Soul! More

Fantastic experience, start to finish I came in on Saturday with my mom, later joined by my son, with a pretty good idea of what I was looking for, and a little frustrated and guarded from I came in on Saturday with my mom, later joined by my son, with a pretty good idea of what I was looking for, and a little frustrated and guarded from previous stops at other dealerships over the past couple of weeks. My expectations were low, and my experience ended being anything but. Natalie was fantastic, listening to my needs, and showing me plenty of options. This was a big purchase for me, my first vehicle owned only by myself, and I've spent a fair bit of time doing my research. In all my searches, which covered many dealerships from Victoria to Nanaimo, Natalie was the first sales associate I've met who didn't shut me down when I expressed knowledge (to the contrary, she congratulated me), the first who didn't hedge around numbers or try to sell me a vehicle beyond my means,, and the first who actually felt genuine. My search had been getting more and more frustrating and demoralizing, and it was wonderful to feel like I had someone on my side for a change. I fully realize that this is the sales associate's livelihood as well, but there are classy and graceful ways to make sales and Natalie was the fun epitome of that. From Natalie,to Ashley in Financial to Kylee from ICBC who assisted me with getting new plates and insurance, everyone was wonderful. The place was incredibly busy, with lots of sales happening,, and I know that everyone was juggling lots of customers and paperwork, but I was never made to feel like anything but a valued customer, Waits for various things like financing, getting the car in for a final cleaning, having my old van assessed for trade in were all minimal, and seamless, making the process feel like a well choreographed dance between departments. The energy among all the staff was high and upbeat, even when we were still there past closing on a Saturday evening, getting all the paperwork done. Not actually intending to purchase, I had a massive amount of stuff in my van. Natalie not only found boxes but stayed and helped transfer things over to my new car (2009 Kia Rondo EX). This entire experience was truly above and beyond what I expected, especially in light of my recent experiences. I'll be certain to recommend others come to Harris Kia, even suggesting they come up from Victoria to shop, as I did. More

That was easy!! We bought our second Kia Soul in 4 weeks and once again the transition into another great vehicle was a terrific experience. The staff were welcomin We bought our second Kia Soul in 4 weeks and once again the transition into another great vehicle was a terrific experience. The staff were welcoming and remembered us from the first time through. We worked primarily with Chris Martens and Jeremy Allen but also spent time speaking with Dave Bare. Everything was organized for an easy paperwork progression and we weren't kept waiting for anything. Even in the days following when my husband had some questions, they were at the ready to help and find a solution to his questions. It has been a real pleasure to find a company that puts client service at the top of their business ethics achievements list. Thank you all for treating us so well. HLG & GCG More

Natalie agreed to ke I came into Kia looking for a used car. Natalie greeted me and told showed me everything they had but sadly above my price range. Natalie agreed to keep an eye out for me, which at the time I figured was a nice way of saying good luck. A week later I get a call from Natalie and she's found the perfect car for me. It is everything I'm looking for and within my budget. Previously owner was a little old lady who kept up all the regular maintenance! Fantastic. Thank you Natalie for getting me the perfect car. You are awesome! I highly recommend Natalie and all the staff who helped me at Kia Harris! More
