Auto Park Kia

Leith Ford - Horrible Experience. Poor communications - took 28 days to pay our trade off - refused to pay the interest charges during this period of time - Misrepresented Ford rebates and financing - Has made no attempt to bring a mutual resolution to the table - I ended up paying more for this vehicle because of the dealership's handling of this sale. Sales Person was Chris Roberson, Sales Manager was Tony D., Finance Manager Tony Crews. They accept no responsibility for their poor performance at all! Buy a vehicle from anywhere but here. PS: we upgraded the cloth seats to leather and asked to keep our cloth seats, since we paid for them and in case we damage the leather - nope, ignored. more

If I could give a negative star rating for this dealer, I would. Less than 30 days after purchasing a new 2013 Kia Optima ($30k), I was advised that the ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED REPLACEMENT! Yes, you are reading this correctly. To add insult to injury, the General Manager, Joey Graves was probably the most sarcastic, rude, disrespectful, least committed to customer service non professional I have EVER had the displeasure to deal with. I will continue to tell any and everyone I know to steer clear of this business! more

My fiance and I visited Kia 2 weeks ago. Not only did we have great service from our sales person, Victor Perez, but the guys in the service dept were wonderful. I would recommend anyone interested in purchasing a Kia to drive a few miles outside of Raleigh to check out these guys! Our new car is amazing and we could not be happier. more

Thank you Marc Hodge and Sherry Timberlake for making my purchase a pleasant experience. We not only bought one but two vehicles. more

Thanks to Marc and the team at Leith Kia for making our car buying experience effortless! We will definitely return to do business there in the future! I love my new Soul...:) more

My wife and I have purchased two Kia Souls from Auto Park Kia (both from Travis). My wife purchased hers in February and I purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. I had no intentions on purchasing a 2nd Kia soul until after visiting other dealers and was approached with high pressure sales tactics. Travis and the Leith of Wendell Staff were great on both occasions. I highly recommend them and now my wife and I are the proud owners of two great Kia Souls. more

On May 28th, my beloved Missy, the Mitsubishi Montero, finally died after 12 years and 290,000 miles. I was devastated. It was the Friday before a holiday; it was raining and my vehicle that was paid for and a part of the family had died. I was in shock and didn't know what to do. After scouring different vehicles on the internet and requesting more information from several dealerships, I received an email from Jim Lovelace at Leith of Wendell. I gave him my information and he invited me down to the dealership on Monday to see the vehicle that I had inquired about. My son and I went down to take a look at the car but it did not live up to my expectations. Jim knew that I needed a car and he also knew that I was in shock over losing Missy, so he graciously allowed me to explain my needs to him, wander around the dealership, whine a little about the fact that I had to buy a car (even though I had gotten EVERY cent's worth from my prior new car purchase) and even test drive a car home to ease into the idea of the purchase! HE was more than accommodating and very helpful. Even though I was not ready to purchase a car (even though my poor vehicle was ready to retire) it was a pleasant experience at Leith Kia. If you need a vehicle, go see Jim Lovelace. He ROCKS! :) more

I had been searching for a while for a red Kia Forte so I knew I needed to act fast when I saw one available from Leith Kia. I called first thing Monday morning and spoke with Marc and by that evening I was driving home in my new Kia. He made sure the car was ready for me when I got there and when we noticed some scratches and scuffs on the car he came out with cleaner and buffed the car himself! Even though there was one mark he couldn't get rid of he made sure that the body guy could take care of it and after I purchased the car Marc make sure an appointment was made for the body guy to come out and fix the ding on my car. I gave Marc a hard time on the price but he worked with me and gave me a great deal so everyone could leave happy. If you are looking for a used or new car and a great deal, go see Marc. He's the best! more

I went in to get regular service at Leith Kia Wendell and ran purposely ran into Jim Lovelace on the sales floor. He sold me my Kia Optima nearly two years ago so stopped to say ""hi."" I told him I want a Soul and he said let's work it out. We did and now I have a vehicle I really wanted. And at a price I could afford! more

We were in the market for a new SUV and happened to stop by one day and meet Jim. He was such a huge help and would recommend him to anybody who is looking for a new car and wants somebody helpful and friendly to work with. He was patient with us and able to find what we were looking for and meet our budget. more

Recently my family and I were shopping around for a new car that would work for our family. After a lot of research we ended up at Leith Kia Wendell. Our salesman, Jim Lovelace, was absolutely fantastic. He answered all of our questions, was friendly and helpful, and most importantly, a Carolina Hurricanes fan. We spent an enjoyable afternoon there in Wendell with Jim and the staff of Leith Kia Wendell, and I cannot stress enough how happy I am with my purchase and more importantly, the family vibe that I got there. I wholeheartedly recommend buying your next car here. more

My wife and I bought a new optima from Marc Hodge and he was great. This is the second vehicle we have bought from them and I will come back in the future. Marc was very nice and patient with us and made every effort meet our requirements. more

My husband and I had a really great experience with Leith Kia of Wendell. They were able to get us a great car at an even better price. We were so pleased with our salesman, Marc Hodge, and the entire sales team. They all went above and beyond to help us. This is our second vehicle that we have purchased from Leith of Wendell and we will definetly be back when we need a third. Thanks Marc and Leith Kia of Wendell! more

My wife and I researched and test drove a few SUVs, and dealt with a few pushy and arrogant salesmen during the past couple of weeks while searching for our next vehicle. Luckily for us we found ourselves at Leith Kia of Wendell talking to Jim Lovelace. He was polite and very helpful. I feel like we got a great deal on our new Sorento and after talking to some of the other members of the sales team and service department, I'm sure we will continue to do business with Leith Kia of Wendell! Very satisfied!!! Check Jim Lovelace out.... you will NOT be disappointed! more

On the 26th my fiance and I ventured to Leith in Wendell to purchase a vehicle. Upon arriving we were greeted and treated with respect. Although we weren't looking to buy a Kia, Greg helped us pick a nice Ford that my fiance had her eyes on. He was very knowledgable about whichever vehicle we had questions about. We decided to get a vehicle and were able to leave with it that day. The detailer, Joe, did a great job at making the used vehicle feel brand new to us. When we are in need of another vehicle I will definately be going to Leith in Wendell and talking to Greg. I recommend that whomever is in need of any kind of vehicle that they go to Leith in Wendell and speak to Greg. Thank you, Greg! more

This has to be the best experience I have ever had buying anything! I did an internet inquiry on a car they had on the lot. I got responses back from at least 3 of their staff. I inquired about another car they had and was told that they were working a deal for me. I was called about 10 days later to bring in my trade-in. That evening I walked away with my new car! (2009 Madza3 not even the car I had looked at, it was the better deal.) They worked a deal for me and got me in the car for a small downpayment and the monthly payment I wanted. I would return to buy another car of I was in the market. Jim was very personalable and friendly, and took care of all my needs before even ""knowing"" who I was. (I did not go to the lot until I took my trade-in in). It was great! more

Two weeks ago, I bought my first car. I went by myself without knowing much of anything. I was basically walking into a dealership with a big target on my forehead. Enter Jim Lovelace of Leith Kia of Wendell. Not once did I feel like he was trying to fleece me. He gave me loads of great information. He was very helpful, just like if I had brought along a friend to help me. He was honest with me from start to finish, respectful and friendly. This was a great experience all around. I would definitely go back and recommend you see him as well. more

Leith Kia in Wendell has great deals on used vehicles. I purchased a 2007 Honda Odyssey from salesperson Marc Hodge. Marc was very friendly and helpful and not high pressure at all. He went above and beyond to answer all my questions, and I was able to negotiate a great price. Thanks again Marc! more

I would greatly recommend buy your next car from Leith KIA in Wendell. Greg Pait is a great salesman. He took his time and most importantly NO HIGH PRESSURE sales pitch. He was helpful, patient and answered all of our questions. We are very happy with our purchase, Kia Rondo. more
