I want to start off by saying that this was my first car buying experience. I was helped by Roylan Shaff and Vladimir Santamaria. They were extremely helpful in helping me choose a car and got me in and out of the store fast. I was kind of skeptical at first because I wanted to go to a dealership to buy my car but this was as easy as it could get. After I test drove my car I was only there for about an hour to fill out paperwork before I was off the lot. I also got a great deal that no one else in the area was offering. Seriously call and ask for these guys because they'll hook you up!!

My experience at ALM kia South was awesome and very professional and a great opportunity for me to get to know Kalan Bell, Jawon Shaw(Delivery Specialis), Damien Geiger, and the Sales manager Jessie and also Saumil Bhatt(Operation Manager). This team was the bomb dot. Com which means they are very good at the work that they did for me ........

On my new car purchase we dealt with Rodney. He made the process as easy and enjoyable as possible. Will definitely recommend him to anyone I know looking to purchase a new vehicle
When we took delivery, we had the pleasure to work with Javon Shaw. He was excellent. Very thorough and clearly focused on our satisfaction

My dad went in to see ms, Jones but met Sharon. My dad hardly smiles but he said she had him laughing. He said she had that car sold before they pulled off the lot. Thanks Sharon for treating my dad with the best customer service he said he ever had.

Buying my car was a good experience but getting my car to the way they promised has been a nightmare waited for a week and a half to get the part fixed then went and got my car and it wasn't done was told the part would be in in a few weeks I'm a patient man so I waited 3 weeks passed no word so I called was put on hold no one ever came to the phone. Got a voice mail saying the part was i could make an appointment or just bring my car anytime after 10am Monday through Friday with my job I'm on call so it took me about 4 days before I had the time to bring my car. I get there at 10:01 am 5 hours later I'm told your car is ready so I'm starting to inspect my car and the part is still not installed I am at this time after wasting most of my off day told that they ordered the wrong part and it won't be in for another 15 days. Never once was i offered anything for my inconvenience

Jada, Curtis, Rahsaad, Kalan were a great team to work with. Collectively they were all helpful and willing to assist on all levels of our Telluride purchase experience. Thanks again ALM Kia South!

Terrible customer service. They agreed to replace 2 rear panels in a Honda Odyssey that I purchased. When I returned to set up a time to have them replaced the manager and the salesman suddenly came down with a case of amnesia! They will tell you whatever you want to hear to close a sale and then won't do what they promised. I will never purchase from them again.

My car stopped on me, and I had to turn into a ditch to avoid a car approaching me from the rear. My car was pulled out the ditch by a tow truck and transported to ALM Kia. I informed them of the issues. After having my car over a week they discovered what caused my car to stop, but did not check the car for damage from being in the ditch. I asked multiple times before I picked up my car and when I came to pick up my car up. They didn't check for damages to the tires or under carriage of the car. This neglect put me in danger when I drove on a road trip about a month later. They would not take responsibility for their actions and charged me for new tires although I wouldn't have needed new tires if the car was properly inspected.

Worst people I have ever dealt with, service manager is rude and disrespectful, they messed up the paperwork for my paid in full vehicle, soon as I left the lot the dual clutch system was acting funny and they told me it was normal, a couple months later I put out 2,000$ on a new transmission and a year later I had to donate the vehicle due to it not being worth fixing, over 11,000$ down the drain and I couldn t even get the title for my vehicle for awhile because they messed up my paperwork, even my bank was confused as to why there was a lean, after calling and speaking to the manager he was extremely disrespectful, disfunctional, and even told me to call 1-800-123 if I wanted to speak to someone above him. He is a disgusting human being. If you buy a care please choose anywhere but here.

The ALM staff was friendly, courteous, and personable. Donate made the process easy despite my indecisiveness. Janice made sure I had the best finance rate I could possibly get. Jawon put the final touches on getting me acquainted with my new car. The process was painless.

Buying a car should always be a great experience but all of the people there made Mine an incredible one! I worked with Kai (Kay/K) originally... He was a burst of great energy funny as ever (#nopressure) and moved very fast! He kept his word on every promise... Nikki was great too, patient and she also had a great since humor! Larry, the older white gentleman who takes care of all of your financial and legal paperwork made even that experience a good one with his good spirit; and Shannon the Financial Director (who's name I btw happen to Love!) stepped in and gave me great suggestions on ad-on's... Tito was also great, he put the Gastank ALLL THE WAY ON FULL! Thank you Tito! And last; but certainly not least, Jawon! That young fella is a true grinder! He's great at what he does, he was pleasant and is a great deal closer! These people are great at what they do because they're happy there, and all work in conjunction to get the work and deal done right! S/O to Dave too he refered me!

Im retracting everything I said about my experience here a few months ago!! Here it is 2017 and I still do not have tags for my vehicle and JESSICA in the "corporate" office that handles out of state tags has the nastiest attitude and worse customer service that I have ever witnessed in life!! I was told by a finance manager that I did not have to pay taxes and for some reason she thinks I owe him a thank you for having to pay for my taxes when it was his fault that I was misinformed!! And of course he doesn't work there anymore to own up to the mistakes and the only person in that place with some sense (general manager) doesn't work there anymore!! Place needs to be shut down NOW!! DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM

Dennis and Brandi made me enjoy my visit . Their laughter and customer service made me feel very welcome. I love my sorento . If it wasn t for Mr Dennis and Mrs Raines I wouldn t have came into the dealership. If the owner read this Give them a raise Not Later but Now. Thank you so much for being patient with me and following up after my visit.

I came in on Monday June 22nd to make a purchase and was very pleased with the service provided by Mel Johnson and Kelvin Culler. It took long time for everything to work out, but it did... I would definitely recommend to look for any one of these two guys.

ERIKA' was the most patient person I've ever worked with. It took 5 hours but her and her team got it done with amiles, and I didn't feel pressured to buy. They made sure the customer was happy by any means.
Thanks so much

If you want a great car buying experience ask for Benjamin Rieves. When my wife and I came to an impasse in negotiations with the sales manager, Ben stepped up and went the extra 100 miles to complete the sale. He cares about his customers and it shows in the way he interacts with them. Ask for Ben. You won't be disappointed.

The staff Ericka, Rodney, Ms. Janice in finance and Jawon are very professional, courteous and it was a pleasure doing business with them. I will refer my friends and family to ALM South. Keep up the good work! You made my day! Blessings

My daughter went to ALM Kia South to purchase her VERY first car. She had high hopes because they told her this was the best place to purchase her car. They told us the car was going to need some repairs before we actually receive the vehicle; They also insisting on calling US to keep us up to date on the car. Everyday since then we have had to reach out to them instead of the other way around. The wait on HOLD is A WEEK and a few days later we are constantly checking up on the car

Thank you to Vernell Jackson for making it possible for me to leave with a 2019 Kia and Jawon Shaw for his great customer service even though the wait was soooo long it was worth it. Thank you guys

These 3 people were fantastic Jawon (delivery specialist) and Rihanna (sales) and Tim in finance they answered all our question and showed us all whistles and bells of our new Telluride. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you

These people are shady its ridiculous! What I thought was a good experience turned out to be the worst almost a month after having the car I get a call back saying their having issues with the finance company and now need a new lender and a cosigner. But the got my down payment though! Highly upset and will not shop here again!!

Mike Falanga is amazing. Got us back on the road and rolling quickly and without any of the hassle were used to from most auto places. Will deffinatley stop in and see him again anytime were through GA.

Besides waiting from in the morning to leaving after 9pm, Be Very wary of this place. Very DECEPTIVE!!! My Wife could not get a car on her own she needed a cosigner I obliged. I did what was requested of me only to find out the bank they got the loan from DOES NOT accept cosigners only co-owners...ALM did not inform me of this fact. I received a letter in the mail from the bank stating that "I" have a car loan with them. After explaining the situation to the bank a lawyer will be called in to straighten this situation out. Read all the paperwork you have to sign dont accept copies of paper work get a copy of WHAT YOU SIGNED!!! You are WARNED.

I am very displeased with customer service from Mike Ugo.. We communicated via text mainly, he confirmed that he would hold a car for me. I drove from Marietta to Union City. Initially, he did not know what car I was talking about. Secondly, he said he saw someone drive that car off the lot. I asked why did not communicate that the car was sold. He replied, I cannot hold the car forever. I reminded him that he text me saying I am holding the car for you. I confirmed with Mike that I was coming to dealership today, he confirmed via text. My recommendation is do not text with any dealer and please make sure you call ahead and double/triple check. This is ridiculous he really wasted my whole Sunday. Poo customer service from Mike Ugo.

Exceptional customer service. Sales experience was amazing and when I brought my car in for service they got me in and out fast. They even gave me a discount for one of the parts that was needed. Overall very satisfied with the experience. I will keep recommending people to go to ALM Kia South.

I appreciate my experience with the service dept.. I called from the highway driving through with a failing alternator. Mark didn't make any promises to get me in with a full schedule, but was able to work me in and get me back on the road in a few hours and with competitive pricing for the work done.

Mr. Wright, Sabrine & Jawon were fantastic The experience was very family-oriented. As a first time buyer, they made the experience very easily and explained everything to me in detail. I can t wait to hit the road in my brand new car.

I went here to get a transmission flush from mark and they said they did a multi point inspection and they said my car is fine and checked off green. Went home to find out that my air filter was corroded and clogged and oil all over the gasket were my spark plugs were located. I spoke to manager Mic and they didn t want to take responsibility for missing everything especially the air filter. They were very rude and laughed in my face and didn t even offer to replace the air filter. They seemed very unprofessional and racist, wouldn t recommend anyone to go there.

Ben, Armani, Rashard, and Jawon were completely amazing!!! I came into the dealership not believing I was able to get a car however these guys made it possible for me to leave in a brand new 2018 Kia Optima!!! Make sure you ask for this team they will make it possible!!!

Went to originally get the oil changed which wasn t performed. I asked to have my fluids topped off at the time my oil was being changed and nothing was done. It was on my paperwork that the task had been performed and it WASNT!!! The dealership kept saying come back and we will correct the problem. I went back 2 additional times no fluids was topped off and I went home the same way my car came. If a customer ask for a service to be done it should be performed. They were quick to tell me about other things that I didn t even ask about though. I wouldn t recommend them to anyone.....if you have a Kia go to another dealership this one is new and doesn t hold up to their word. They hang up the phone in your face or keep you in hold for minutes at a time.... I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM AT ALL!!!

We live in the Chattanooga area and were looking for a new or slightly used RAV4. Our local Toyota dealer was not honest with us and that turned out to be a bad experience. I did a 250 mile area search and found exactly what we were looking for at ALM Kia South, Union City GA. I called and was greeted on the phone by Rianna. After talking to her about the vehicle I felt very good about the dealership. I drove a little over 2 hours to meet her and check out the vehicle. I was not pushed to buy the RAV4 but the price was exceptional compared to any other dealer in that search. I put a deposit on it. My wife and I drove back 2 days later. Rianna was not in that day so we worked with Erika. My wife drove the RAV4 and was very happy with it (it was for her) and the customer service we received was the best we have ever had. Rianna, Erika, and Jawon were all great! Thanks for making this purchase a great experience:):):)

ALM had a great team with a good blend of experienced salespeople and young salespeople eager to go the extra mile. Came in with a car in mind but some questions about how exactly I would make the deal and was met with a no pressure situation and a team eager to meet my needs and put me in the car I was equally eager to get into. I would definitely recommend the ALM family to anyone looking for a new or used car.

I bought a car July 6th and the process was very easy and smooth. I spoke to LaMar Johnson over the phone the day before and got everything lined up. I came in the next day and made my purchase. I would like to say thanks to the whole ALM staff!

Absolutely amazing for a first time car buying. I was able to walk in and get the car that I wanted and the sales rep Marcus Griffin explained everyting to me and over all worked me. Jawon did an awesome job with making sure that my car was delivered in tip top condtion.

Great!!! Jawon - Delivery Specialist ; Skip - Finance; Fundrail - Delivery Specialist and my new "adopted grandson" Kalan Bell - Sales were all fantastic!!! Best car buying experience EVER!!! These guys are AWESOME!!! Please go there.

The worst car buying experience of my life. I feel that we were ignored and possibly even discriminated against as a military family. I was jerked around by their associates and at one point brought to tears. I hope I can save at least one other family from having to do business with this company.

I had an awesome experience with purchasing the car I wanted. The salesman Rudy was very kind and he provided excellent customer service. The finance manager Janice was also very helpful. She was able to get me a good finance rate and lower payment. Jawan wasy delivery specialist. He helped me set ipy blue tooth and ensured that my vehicle was ready for the road!

Thanks so much for making my car buying experience pleasant!
