Customer Testimonials

Anthony assisted me with a lease buyout today and was wonderful to work with. I’ll be visiting again in a few months for an upgrade. Thank you!

The past several car experiences at other dealerships created a negative stigma of shopping for a new car. At Kia of Old Saybrook, the approach from beginning to end was a pleasant surprise, no pushy sales people and a business manager and general manager who made the purchase happen. The Customer Service Advocates to include, Margaret, Madison, and Jay all helped and worked together as a team. It's not by mistake that this dealership is in a unique class of their own. Grateful to have met the entire team, and highly recommend visiting Kia of Old Saybrook. A very ... Read More Google - May 16, 2025

We had an amazing experience at this dealership thanks to the outstanding service provided by Anthony. From start to finish, he was phenomenal—understanding, knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly cooperative. What could have been a stressful and difficult process was made so much easier by his dedication and patience. Anthony went above and beyond to make things work for us, taking the time to understand our needs and find the best solution. I truly appreciate the effort he put in. Highly recommend working with him and this dealership.

Great help from Anthony and Maddie

Just came home this week with a new-to-me 2022 Kia Niro EV. Kia of Old Saybrook was 100% accommodating with processing the Federal and CT CHEAPR+ rebates. Madison Barfield was extremely courteous and attentive; I can only imagine the hours of work she and others at the dealership put into getting me set up with this car. Jay immediately picked up the ball if Madison was unavailable or with another customer; Margaret and Anthony were repeatedly encouraging and helpful via phone -- and when an extraordinary circumstance delayed delivery on the car, Bill and Jordan helped us work it out, while Noah ...

I recently purchased a vehicle from Kia of Old Saybrook and had the absolute pleasure of working with Margaret. From start to finish, she made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and actually enjoyable—something I never thought I’d say about buying a car. If you're in the market for a car and want someone who goes above and beyond, ask for Margaret. She’s a true gem and made the experience five stars all the way. Thank you, Margaret!

Purchased a car in March. Brought it home and got check engine lights for a bad o2 sensor or catalytic converter after driving it for 100 miles from purchase. Sent pictures of the engine code with mileage behind it. I was told to bring it in. Took the day off to bring it in and was told they couldn’t fit me in now until the afternoon. Brought it in that afternoon for them to tell me it was a bad o2 sensor. Was told they had to order the part and would call me the following week when a rental ...

Update: Steve from the service department called me the next day after I posted this and offered to take a look at the sunroof for no charge and was very apologetic. They were able to look at my car and confirmed it was an issue covered under the warranty and will be fixing it for me and giving me a loaner in the mean time.
I would avoid this dealership. Purchased a car less than 45 days ago and my sunroof got stuck and wouldn’t close. I called the service department and was informed that it wouldn’t be covered ... Read More Google - Apr 23, 2025

Anthony was awesome to work with. He made the whole process very simple and explained everything very well.

Margret was fantastic love my new seltos

Stopped into the service department without an appointment for an oil change on my Jeep Cherokee . Miguel greeted me with proiding excellent customer service as he took the vehicle in without hesitation. For a price less than other dealerships, the oil change was performed. I was very impressed when Miguel expressed that they did an overall check of the vehicle. He patiently outlined all the issues while asking if I had any questions. There was never any pressure during the conversation to have the work completed immediately by Kia. I will be back in the future.

Margaret and Jason at Old Saybrook Kia were great to work with. They knew we were on a big time crunch and tag teamed and got us in and out with our new telluride.

I spent the day shopping around from old saybrook to Groton ct. Margaret Johnson of Kia of old saybrook was so knowledgeable and kind she made it easy to talk to her about all the options available to me and got me a the best deal possible. If I could give her more stars ⭐️ I would.

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience this was my first time buying a car and Margaret made such a smooth process and I was able to leave with my car same day

Buying a new car turned out to be a wonderful experience, thanks to salesperson Margaret. Personable, intelligent, knowledgable, patient, great communication skills. She went the extra mile in making the whole experience one that will always bring a smile. If you are thinking of purchasing a Kia, I highly recommend Kia of Old Saybrook. Margaret is a breath of fresh air. And, thank you, Alex, for streamlining the payment process with warmth and attention to detail.

25 years buying cars, this was THE BEST experience ever, Madison and Alex and their amazing team was spectacular, I found myself on a impossible situation in getting a car from another state but they pulled it off and I’ll refer all my family and friends here for sure, do yourself a favor look for Madison, but everyone is very friendly. 10 stars no joke

Very, patient, helpful, made sure I understood the whole process

Margaret made what I thought was going to be impossible, possible. She never stopped going to bat for us and came up with back up plan after back up plan. She is a true delight and I am not sure chicken fries was enough of payment for the thanks we have for her!! And to the manager who spent so much of his time on this, with so many calls....thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I recently purchased a Kia from the team at Kia of Old Saybrook, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience!

I had a very positive buying experience at Kia of Old Saybrook! Anthony Russo was especially kind, helpful, and knowledgeable about Kia products and the various features of the vehicle I selected - and there are many! Their lot didn’t have exactly what I wanted, but he located a vehicle with my preferences, did his best to get a me decent price (not easy for this brand with phenomenal independent ratings and best-in-business warranty, and as tariffs were kicking in and foreign cars were flying off lots), and he got it for me quickly. He was not at all ... Read More Google - Apr 4, 2025
