Use Extreme Caution BAIT AND SWITCH
by Angry in Dayton on 04/03/2025Had a signed buyers order and the day before deliver, when all the financing was arranged and delivery was set they stated that the car went through service and they had to raise the price by 1k. Now, the car was negotiated and agreed on by… the manager and us as a "Certified" car. After a few angry phone calls, they tried to lower the price or offer it as a non certified car (again, not what we agreed on and the dealership and us agreed to). They also then refused to deliver it even though they promised to (another lie) In the end they said they would honor the original price but not put the tires on (the day before the tires were already on it, hence the increase in cost) and we said sure. After considering all the lies they said, we went and found another car that was identical and had 13k less miles on it and the new dealer, who was applaud at the other dealer for doing that, matched the price. When we told them no deal, then they called and said that "that is not the way they do business and would we still want the car". Well clearly that IS the way they did business as they changed their story so many times I could not list them all here. I would not trust this dealership at ANY stage of the process. When they will not stand by a SIGNED buyer order and come up with no less than 10 different stories why they cannot be trusted. Stay far away if you don't want to have a terrible experience.new car

Kia Soul purchase
by klshope on 08/30/2017updated 09/12/2017The attention we received from your internet sales dept(Lori Light) is what brought us you the dealership. Then the excellent attention from Justin Xavier is what kept us there. The no hassle, low key sales approach kept us comfortable. I… never truly intended to purchase a car,but they made me a deal that I was happy with. So, I left with a new car.Great experience

Great Experience @ Halleen Kia in Sandusky!
by esneifer1126 on 08/16/2017Everyone was very pleasant and friendly, especially considering we came late on a Saturday evening. We did not plan on trading our lease in at that time, but the exact car we wanted was in the showroom so Marla and the finance team worked… with us and we came to an agreement easily. They let it be known that our business was important, and they did not want us to leave unsatisfied. The time spent doing the financing is usually a very long and dreaded process, but Aaron had it done quickly and spent an efficient amount of time going over add-on options without being pushy when we declined. From the time we arrived until we left, we felt as if the whole team was working together to not only get us the car we wanted, but to make sure that our experience was a good one. I plan on returning to Halleen Kia Sandusky in the future, and will also recommend them to anyone I know who is interested in a Kia!Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review about your experience with us! We truly appreciate it and glad to hear that your experience with us have been very positive. It was great doing business with you. Thank you for the recommendation and we look to working with you again! Best, Halleen Kia of Sandusky Team

Great experience
by Ryancook3 on 07/21/2017The dealership was straightforward with the car that we wanted-we traveled from out of town and wanted to make sure the car we wanted was on the lot. Emailed and asked questions all week so that when we arrived the car was waiting and ready… to test drive. Marla was great at explaining details of the car but also letting us feel free to explore the car and take a test drive with no pressure. We love our Sorento and were able to purchase that morning at a fair price and quickly get paperwork done and out the door with our new car. The dealership was also clean and brigh and felt very relaxed.Thank for taking the time to write this review and congratulations on your purchase! We are happy to know that Marla provided you with the best car buying service you truly deserved. Thank you for doing business with us and please let us know if we can assist you further. Enjoy your Sorento! Best, Halleen Kia Sandusky Team
