Customer Reviews of Lithia Kia of Anchorage
Dealership inventory listings not kept current!
byon 09/12/2020
This was a brief, first time experience with Litha Kia of Anchorage. I found a car listed on Edmonds Listing Service that I was interested to see and possibly purchasing. I also located the same identical car on Lithia's website but the price was $4,992 more. I made contact with the dealership through the Edmonds posting anyway, thinking the price difference was a price reduction. A sales rep, saying he was the sales manager, contacted me in the morning and, after a brief discussion about the car, offered to send me information about the car I was interested in. I didn't receive any information about the car but received, instead, a general email greeting from the dealership and their finance department explaining what I had to bring to the dealership to apply for financing, but nothing from the salesman and absolutely nothing about the car. I called the sales rep who was polite. The sales rep couldn't even remember which car I spoke to him about earlier in the day. After giving him his dealership's stock number, he looked it up and told me it was sold but he had another car just like the one I called about but the price was $4,992 more than the one listed on Edmonds website. The suspicious part about this is the car photos posted on Edmonds and car photos on the Litha dealership's website are absolutely identical, even down to the very same license plate number but, of course, the price of the one in Lithia’s inventory was $4,992 more than the one listed on Edmonds site. In sales lingo I believe this is known as a 'bait and switch', also ‘A lost leader’. The sale rep didn't even make an effort to find out if a price match could be made for this obvious advertising price ‘error’. This confirmed the 'bait and switch' for me. I recommend to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle from this dealership to not trust what is seen in Lithia’s advertising. It's either in error or a planned advertising deception. Buying a new or used car is stressful enough without having to be concerned about deception and insincerity.

Exceptional Service

Recently, I moved to Anchorage and needed to secure a vehicle soon with work already starting and winter soon approaching. Lithia Kia of Anchorage was recommended to me by a friend for their customer service and above and beyond staff. I stopped by a few used dealerships during my car shopping journey and was served lemon after lemon. I was growing frustrated and disappointed as I needed a car bad to get myself back and forth to work. During my car shopping journey, a friend gave me a lift to Lithia Kia of Anchorage and immediately the car buying experience was different as soon as I walked through those doors and sat down. The staff was friendly, shook my hand, and made me feel valued as a customer. The cars on their lot in addition to the vehicle I test drove were of top quality. There were a lot of options, and I felt like nothing was hidden from me as far as the history of the vehicle or its true condition. Richard went above and beyond to get me financed, and made the process smooth and efficient. Eric, Scott, and the rest of the team that serviced me that day were kind, humorous, and very friendly people. They were knowledge of all aspects of the selling and financing of vehicles and were honest. If you want a reliable car, to be treated fairly, and a team that treats you like family, go to Lithia Kia of Anchorage. They truly brought tears to my eyes and blessed me with a car that I needed for work and getting around in this new town and state. Thank you so much!!!

So happy with my 2016 Kia Sorento
byon 06/13/2018
Purchased a 2016 Kia Sorento LX this past weekend and couldnt br more happy with my purchase and (more importantly) the customer service was beyond excellent! Christian, my salesman, exhausted all efforts to find me exactly what I was looking for and make sure I had an amazing car buying experience from beginning to end. After car shopping all weekend and having so many horrible experiences at other dealerships, I was so happy and relieved to be so well taken care of at Lithia Kia of Anchorage. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy a car!

I am very pleased with my purchase from Lithis Kia! The team expedited my sale and offered me the deal that I had previously framed I was able to commit to. What's more, I was provided service and warranty packages at no additional costs. It was truly a terrific experience!

DON'T BUY FROM [non-permissible content removed]!!
byon 11/11/2017
I would never encourage to buy from this dealership. The truck I bought 6 months ago from them has been in the shop 5 times. It's a LEMON! I took it back to them within a week of buying it to demand repairs and they said they'd only fix a few. Their service shop took 4 days for 2 repairs, then I had to take it to the Dodge dealership to fix SAFTY items that Lithia Kia of Anchorage wouldn't!! So far I've had to put close to $5,000 dollars into the truck in just repairs. I kept asking them about the transmission and why it shifts so hard, nothing but LIES from them. It's only a matter of time when I'll have to fix that too. If I could give the truck back I would in an instant!!!

Do not buy from this dealership!!!
byon 10/16/2017
Do not buy from this dealership!!! I bought a 2012 F-150 FX4 for $36,000. I was told that it was a accident free vehicle. 18 months later, I noticed cracks in the front driver quarter panel. I took it a reputable body shop where they performed a complete inspection of the truck. They discovered that the truck had been involved in a moderate to severe front end collision and that the cracks I noticed were due to a thick layer of bondo. To salvage the equity I already had in the truck, I had it professionally repaired costing nearly $7,000. I am absolutely furious with the situation. I'm currently working with my attorney to file a lawsuit against Lithia Kia of Anchorage. Do not buy from this dealership!!!

After car shopping for 2 days with a friend in Anchorage we were exhausted and about to give up until we arrived at Lithia Kia. Jesse went out of his way to help her get the car she wanted even taking us to compare deals at other dealerships. His honest, do anything to help you find the right fit was a blessing. I was so impressed with his customer service that 2 weeks later I called Jesse and asked him to help me. Never did he give the impression that I was taking up his time or not interested because I wasn't a big ticket item. The financial officer Jeremy worked hard to get the deal that matched my needs. I now have a 2015 RAV 4, with only 32,000 miles, good gas milage, and the right fit for an active outdoor life style. Thanks to all the employees at Lithia Kia for taking the time to check on me during my visit. Jesse followed up with both of us to check and see if we are still happy with our vehicle. I can honestly say I received the best customer service and price at Anchorage Lithia Kia.
