Although young, he was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and exceptional at what he does. I trust his opinion and enjoyed working with him. James was able to give us an honest but great deal on some outside the box options we weren't originally thinking of, and worked with us to make sure we were comfortable using a low pressure sales approach. Mehdi was helpful and knowledgeable, and gave us succinct information and a helpful viewpoint. Thanks to you all! More

Thank you We had a great experience working with Mehdi to find a car that not only fit our lifestyle but also our budget. He found multiple options within our p We had a great experience working with Mehdi to find a car that not only fit our lifestyle but also our budget. He found multiple options within our price range quickly, and offered his professional opinion on them. We felt he was straightforward and genuine. After doing a couple test drives, we decided on a car and the rest of the process was quick and easy. Gurvir helped us with the final details of our purchase and took the time to set up our Android Auto and explain how it works. He also put the plates on for us and ensured we had everything we needed. Professional, friendly & knowledgeable. Thanks for taking the time to help us! We are very happy with our experience and love our 2020 Sportage so far :) More

Extremely poor customer follow up. serious mechanical issue with the car I bought only 6 weeks later. Kia blames the make of my vehicle, telling me they don't like selling them because serious mechanical issue with the car I bought only 6 weeks later. Kia blames the make of my vehicle, telling me they don't like selling them because they know it's expensive to fix, and suggesting I blame the make, and not their lack of inspection. Ensures me that a proper " safety" inspection was done, but then admits that the belt that broke, is not part of their inspection, because they " don't consider it to be a part of the safety inspection" (??) ( it was the A/C compressor belt, that also runs the water pump. I can understand them not considering the A/C to be a safety issue, but the water pump certainly is, and you cannot run the car without it) I also found out during the repair of the above, that the back rear brakes needed not only pads, but rotors as well, as that the grooved condition of the rotors, meant that this was obviously not something that happened within 6 weeks. There is only 20% life left on the brakes. Kia should have replaced those prior to the sale, as any other dealership would have done. However their General manager told me " it passed our safety inspection" When I asked him for the measurements, he said " well I don't have them at my fingertips, but I can assure you, it passed" I asked if it had been perhaps just a visual inspection, rather then an actual measurement, he could not answer that. He not only refused to take responsibility for any of mechanical issues, but took a week just to simply call me back. I had left phone calls, and emails. ( I live out of town, and was not able to visit the dealership). Each time I was told he was either " not in the office", or had " left at noon", but assured my message was marked " urgent", and that he would respond. Only when I posted my complaint on social media, did someone reach out to me, and it still was not the General Manager, who Id been asking to speak to. When Mehdi, the General manager finally called me, he was so condescending, and defensive, and he refused to except consideration that their inspection had been sub par. Instead, insisted that the dealership who fixed my car, was only telling me that, to gather my business for future repairs. ( he also then went on to tell me that the reason my car was so expensive to fix, was because it was a Volvo, and that's in fact why they don't like to sell them, and try to have you buy extended warranty) And while extended warranties are never a bad idea, in this particular case, if an appropriate and proper safety inspection had been done, there would be no need for extended warranty for the type of repairs that were needed . I have now asked several times for his response in writing, so that I may escalate my complaint. I have yet to receive that, even tho I sent a follow up email to request yet again. When i spoke with him directly, and mentioned I would need this, and my reasons for it, he laughed, and said " well I don't know what type of escalation you think you can do, we will not be paying out for any repairs, do you think I'd honestly pay another dealership to fix your car?" His unprofessionalism, and lack of quality customer care is appalling. To take SO long to respond to a complaint, and then only do so because it was posted on social media, is such a poor showing of management skills, that I am actually curious how he is in the position he is. Never mind that once he finally replied, he was so abrasive, and condescending. To laugh at someone who has just had to spend 2400$, on a repair, and is clearly upset at the fact that this would have been a non issue if they had done their due diligence, is inexcusable. He tells me they do the same point inspection that all dealerships do. That is not true, I have called several to inquire, and all have stated that belts and hoses are definitely part of safety inspection. The way that dealership, and particularly this General manager has chosen to deal with this, and the time it took, is unforgivable. I would never recommend this dealership to anyone. I don't know whether he hung up, or we were somehow disconnected, but the call ended abruptly. I tried to call right back, but to no avail. This General manager needs to take a long hard look at his customer service skills. As even if he doesn't agree with the complaint, he has a long way to go in knowing how to deal with things respectfully, professionally, and in a timely manner More
Good buying experience The staff at this dealership were very friendly and helpful. There wasn't a lot of waiting around to get the deal done. Financing was a breeze.

Excellent customer service My experience with Winson was good. Very friendly and he was always open to help with anything that was needed. Was very clear with matters regardi My experience with Winson was good. Very friendly and he was always open to help with anything that was needed. Was very clear with matters regarding a new vehicle that he was trying to sell and with a lower interest rate. Good conversation as well during the test drive I had. He is very personable and presentable while maintaining professionalism. I would recommend Winson for a salesperson because he is clear and friendly as well as helpful. Also shoutout to Mehdi and all of the Kia team in Richmond very great customer service. Have been dealing with them for about 1 year. More
Danny was the only breath of fresh air in a sea of lies Danny (which I rated 5 stars) attempted to diffuse a horrible situation, but was ultimately hand-cuffed by the impotent, greedy, and irresponsible gen Danny (which I rated 5 stars) attempted to diffuse a horrible situation, but was ultimately hand-cuffed by the impotent, greedy, and irresponsible general manager, Mehdi Mogareh. The dealership management I dealt with (Mehdi Moghareh, Patrick Namuco, & Jimmy Chang), besides Danny, outright lied to me, took my money and then sold the vehicle out from under me for a better profit to them, and then tried to up-sell me after the occurrence. My advice to Danny is to move forward and find a more competent, honest, and responsible dealership to work for. More
They did what vancouver kia failed to do Remember the jingle, "?The end of the runaround, at Downtown Toyota..?"? Well this was, '?Only the runaround, at Vancouver Kia..?" I found a 2015 Remember the jingle, "?The end of the runaround, at Downtown Toyota..?"? Well this was, '?Only the runaround, at Vancouver Kia..?" I found a 2015 Sorento SX Thursday on Craigslist posted by Donald (AKA: Qui Dong, salesperson for Vancouver Kia) for $19988, Contacted Donald and after a few back and forths he said the $19988 was a special price (?), and it had gone back up to $22988, I was obviously concerned by this price increase, and hesitant to move forward but he asked if I would come look at it "today" if he could offer the $19988 special price..I told him I had work right through till Sunday, and he assured me I could come in to take a look at it Sunday, as long as I put a $500 refundable deposit down with a credit card to show I was Interested. He satated if the car wasn't to my liking the deposit was fully refunadable, so I gave them my AmEx#. Saturday night at 5:53pm Donald texted me to let me know the car 'was being detailed at Richmond Kia and they couldn't get it over for me to see Sunday'.. was I available Monday or Tuesday..? I replied that it didn't matter if it was vacuumed or not, I just wanted to test drive it.. I stated that it's been listed for almost a month, and if it wasn't detailed yet, something was wrong. Donald agreed to the original meeting time on Sunday, said the vehicle would be there, and special price would be honoured since I put down the deposit. Sunday comes, we show up at kia marine drive, wait about 45 minutes for Donald to finish with other customers and he comes over to let me know that the vehicle isn't there.. he says they share stock with their sister dealership in richmond, he would drive us over to take a look at it.. I press the matter, ask why suddenly there's changes to the promise the vehicle would be at Vancouver kia, he lets me in on the fact that Richmond wouldn't let the car come over for the test drive. I thank him for his time, let him know I wouldn't be wasting any of his, and we leave. My friend and I drive over to Richmond Kia, we walk in the front door and spot a fellow in a suit and say, Are you a salesperson? He looks kinda weirded out but says, "Yes?".. I ask, "Do you wanna make a sale today?" He looks way less weirded out and says, "Yes!:)" (yes, his voice felt like it had a happy emoji in it!:) This was Winson Li (he was an awesome sales advisor, btw!) He mentioned that everyone else had balked at the silver racing stripes on the hood - whilst I had started to like them.. I was personally invested in this xxxx vehicle!! My friend and I do the test drive of the vehicle, telling Winson all about the jerking around Donald gave us, and after a short test drive (car was almost out of gas, so really couldn't get out to hwy 99..:( we came back to the dealership and got through the whole sales back and forthing (I had pre-qualified with my credit union @ 4.48% and Kia Richmond offered me 4.99 + $795 finance fee so no thank you:) then the sales manager, Patrick Namuco, came over and gave me a 23988 price with no trade, cash price (which is $1000 more than it is currently listed for on Craigslist after donald jacked it up from the 'special price', so even though I have a feeling that was their first "best offer".. I had had more than enough screwing around, I thanked them for their time and left before I got absolutely fed up and lost it with the screwing around. So Patrick- if it languishes for a while and you are able to sell it for the original $19988, Winson has my email, name, drivers license.. and everything else.. I really liked it- call me maybe:) More
