I've collected cars since 1984, and it's hard to buy vehicles sight unseen from 4-5 states away, Michael Zheng and the rest of the Don Franklin team who were involved with my purchase of a 2005 Dodge Ram Daytona, made things easy with a multitude of extra pictures, videos and in the end to get the vehicle into my price comfortable point even had the vehicle delivered to me. Love this truck, it is in better condition than anticipated, I hope it's as mechanically sound as it looks, but for now, I extend my deepest gratitude to ALL who ...

Will never get another vehicle from this place again. My husband and I buy new vehicles every 2 years, usually from Ford, this time he leased from Ford and I wanted a KIA Sorento so we leased that from Don Franklin KIA Somerset. Our payments are auto pay every month. This month they said our payment was $400 short be cause we had to pay property taxes on it. Nobody told us anything about that ( we do not have to do that for the Ford ). First of all we have always thought property taxes were paid on things you owned ( we don’...

Do not buy a Kia vehicle with a GDI engine (gasoline direct injected) after about 50,000 miles they use oil like crazy. Also I've had this Kia soul at the service department three times for recalls and this last time I needed to borrow a vehicle for about 10 minutes. The guy looked outside and said we don't have any now I'm looking at almost 200 cars, I'm thinking about telling them I want to test drive a new one and I bet they'll give me a vehicle then. I must say this place does not look after ...

Out of all the places I've checked on buying a car this has to be by far the worst all car salesmen will to some point deceived you but these people don't tell you the truth on anything, they won't even tell you the price of a car all they want to talk about is a payment and that's it but from how they treated me I don't think they would tell the truth anyway. Just making sure no one gets treated like this again. Make this place give you the price of everything upfront ...

I'm a longtime Kia owner and have had Southeast Kia do my maintenance on all of my vehicles from day one so these guys know me pretty well. One thing I observed on my last visit is that they KNOW every single one of their customers that walked through the door and greeted them by name and had their files pulled up before they got out of the car. It takes a lot of repeat happy customers to get to that level. Ill always continue to purchase my vehicles from Kia because of this reason. Mr. Eads, if you ...

Bought a 2016 Kia Soul Jan. 2016. Nov ended up with a flat, bought a brand new tire & Jan. 19, that tire is flat. Had to have it towed to Southeat Kia because of no spare (stranded with 3 kids) Jan 20th they tell me that it has been slashed. Which is what they said the 1st time too. Said they had abused tire that was in perfect condition, get it and left only for my tire pressure light to come on.

We were lied to from the start. We bought a certified preowned kia soul. We were told it had a full sized spare in it and it wasn't a "donut". There is no spare. After contacting the dealer several times and wasting two days at home on calls that never came. , I just quit wasting my time with them. Additionally they gave us "FREE" oil changes for life, only to find they charged us $499 for these "free" oil changes. Went to cancel that and they charge you $75 to cancel it. It should never ...

I bought a 2016 sorento I could not have asked for any better people to deal with. Spencer Wilson and Maria answered every question I had and did everything in their power to accommodate me and get the best price for me. I have to admit I am a hard person to deal with and they came through.. Thank you Spencer, Maria and Southeast Kia . I will do business with you when this one wears out!

If you're looking for a new or used vehicle then go to Southeast Kia of Somerset, KY. Ask for Brandon T. Wilson, he is honest, respectful, works with and for you, he will make sure you are able to buy a vehicle you can afford.
