Testimonials
“ Robert Saltus and everyone in the service department went above and beyond to help me get back on the road quickly when my Kia Sportage Hybrid had to be towed to Kia of Abilene during a road trip from Austin to Colorado. They were super prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. Wish they were my local Kia dealer so I could get service there all the time. Best dealership service experience I have ever had hands down! ”
“ What a great experience with Kia of Abilene!! Everyone in the dealership was attentive and professional. Triston our salesman was terrific and new everything about our new car functions. I will be back!! ”
“ This is our 3rd Kia we have purchased from Kia of Abilene we have been very satisfied with everything every time we have owned 2 Kia souls and our latest purchase is a Kia Sportage and we really love it! Thank you Carmen and JohnnyWeeks😊 ”

“ Easy to schedule my maintenance oil change and tire rotation. The work was done on time and well. I will certainly use this dealership in the future. ”
“ I was very scared as this was my first time purchasing a vehicle through a dealership! Zac and Trey made this a smooth and easy experience! They did not only sale me a car, they sold me an experience! From getting to know me, communicating with me every step of the way, to getting me into a car that is me! They were so patient and understanding! If you’re looking for a vehicle and want straight forward communication with no BS…. Kia is your place, Zac and Trey at your guys! ”
“ Kia of Abilene is amazing! They have always taken care of me every time that I go in for service. Thanks Kia. ”
“ Great service all around, couldn't have been happier. ”
“ I went in to schedule some recalls on my car. I had checked before and it was going to be a two day experience, and I live an hour away. Instead of scheduling, Tabitha, my service advisor, let me know that the procedure had been changed and they could do the recalls that day. A busy Saturday. A little while later with recalls accomplished, and a freshly washed car, I was able to continue my adventures in Abilene. ”
“ Worked with Kyle Newton and Sara on the purchase of my car. Very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. ”
“ Hands down the best of the best here. Completely seamless and no nonsense, everything was clear and upfront from start to finish. Thanks Mike and Kyle! ”
“ Kia of Abilene Service department is hands down the BEST! Not only are they friendly and very informative; they get your car in and out within a timely manner and do everything they can to make sure you are taken care of. ”
“ The service technician was kind and explained everything to me. Everything was done quickly and completely. ”
“ A shout out to Sara and Ryan for their assistance with purchasing a vehicle. Sara reviewed all of the features on the vehicle. Ryan reviewed the finance options available and the documents that I needed to sign. Both of them ensured I had no other questions or concerns. ”
“ **KIA of Abilene** A Remarkable Turnaround Experience I recently returned to KIA of Abilene after a previous experience that left me quite dissatisfied. This time, however, my experience was completely transformed, and I felt compelled to share my thoughts. From the moment I walked in, the staff genuinely listened to my concerns about my past experience. They took the time to understand my needs and ensured that I felt valued as a customer. They were attentive, empathetic, and committed to making things right. - **Customer Service:** The team demonstrated exceptional customer service. They were not only friendly but also knowledgeable, answering all my questions without hesitation. It felt reassuring to know they were focused on my satisfaction. - **Follow-Through:** After my visit, the dealership continued to follow up with me. They checked in to ensure that I was happy and offered assistance with any questions. This level of follow-through made a huge difference in my overall experience. - **Commitment to Improvement:** It was clear that the dealership values customer feedback and is dedicated to improving their service. This commitment was evident in their actions and communication. Overall, I am now a satisfied customer and would highly recommend KIA of Abilene to anyone looking for a car. Their willingness to listen and adapt truly sets their service department apart. I appreciate the effort they put into addressing my concerns, and I’m grateful for the positive experience this time around. Thanks to the service manager and his team! Y’all made my day!❤️ ”
“ Salespeople that listened and didn’t try to bulldoze me into a sale. I love my Sportage! ”
“ Ryan and Kyle are hands down the easiest todo business with, from breaking down all options to closing a deal at 10:30 pm on a Friday night. 100% recommend these guys for smooth and professional business. I WILL be back. Thank you guys! Stay away from Clark Nissan. ”
“ Excellent service department! ”
“ Abilene?? whats the deal with all this negative experience trama dumping on here? Do we have to know about every single little screw that wasnt screwed down properly? Geez! I bet the place was clean! I bet someone greeted you! I bet someone asked if you needed help; because they did that for not only me but the 10 other people that walked in after me... we know its your right to vent and express yourself but when you start antagonistic behavior you gone attract unwanted attention. Stay positive Abilene! I Luv this place! Moms ride came from here, Cousins too, Kyle #1 is the man and everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. I always appreciate how they respect the customer and fight to make things right. Awesome Sauce ”
“ The staff in the service area are friendly and knowledgable. The salesperson who sold me the 2025 Sorento remembered me and asked if I had any questions about the car! ”
“ Purchasing a vehicle is a big decision with so many choices out there. What we thought we wanted turned out to be a disappointment, which led us to consider again a used vehicle from another manufacturer. It impressed so much, we wanted to see more from this company and went on to KIA of Abilene. Kyle (K1) was literally our first contact there and turned out to be a salesman who was NOT pushy, an excellent listener, and knew what he had to meet our needs. He made the entire experience at this dealership friendly, yet professional. The dealership was more than fair with us on a trade-in and made it possible for us to drive home affordably in an incredible new vehicle with a warranty that cannot be beat. The best part of this whole experience is that it isn't over. KIA apparently enables their sales people to remain invested in their customers long after the sale is completed--so with any question or issue we may come up with in the future--or any appointment we may need at the dealership (oil change, for example)--we will contact Kyle. If he cannot resolve it himself, he will make the arrangements for it, but he gets things DONE and truly cares that we are happy with our investment. We have a new friend. Thank you, Kyle (K1). And thank you, KIA of Abilene! ”
“ Very clean, very friendly and the overall price for service was not bad at all. They explained everything to us. ”
“ I’ve been doing business with Kia of Abilene for more than fifteen years - never been disappointed! ”
“ Came in for an oil change. I heard Robert Saltus. say the price for a 6 cylinder. I was thinking it was a 4 cylinder but thought I could be wrong, so did not question it. Later on, during the service he came to me and said he was mistaken and gave me the price of a 4 cylinder. He could have easily charged us the larger price but chose to be honest. I will be back for this reason plus the great service. Nothing like a dealership personal being honest when no one is watching. Thank you for the service and most of all thank you Robert S. for your honesty. ”
I’ve visited this service department three times now with
“ I’ve visited this service department three times now with my Sportage, and while the representatives at the service desk podiums are consistently nice and deserve five stars for their attitude, the overall experience has been disappointing. There seems to have been a restructure lately that just isn't working, as the level of service has definitely slipped since 2023. The communication is very poor compared to other Kia locations that provide updates every hour; here, I’m often left in the dark. I was also never offered a courtesy ride or told when to return for my next maintenance. Most frustratingly, a manager told me they wouldn't be responsible for any damages if they washed my car. It is original Kia matte paint, so I would expect the dealership to be the one place that knows how to handle it properly. The people at the desks are great, but the management and the current process really need to improve. ”
