Testimonials
Thanks Carrie
Great Service Center
“ I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the service center. I was in a time crunch and Bill and Holly went above and beyond to take care of the issues I was having with my car and getting it inspected. They were super pleasant and were able to fit me in. It meant so much to me they were so helpful because I do not know much about cars and I took my car to Mavis tire previously to try to get my check engine light turned off but they did not fix the problem. They were able to figure out why my light was on, drive it 50 miles and inspect my car all in a matter of a few days. They are kind, genuine people and although I do not live in town anymore, I would make the drive to get their service. ”
Ashley Good is amazing
“ I didn't buy a car...yet. I worked with Ashley Good and she has amazing integrity and ethics. She wants everything to make sense instead of just making a sale. The deal wasn't right for me at this time; I'm keeping my 2020 truck for now. Ashley knew it wasn't right. We discussed it at length and agreed it just didn't make sense - she said she wasn't comfortable with it at all. She offered complete understanding and ZERO pressure. I WILL buy my next vehicle from her and I WILL refer people to her in the interim. Go talk with Ashley - she can sell you anything on a Williams lot, not just Kia. I promise, you won't regret it. Update July 31st, 2021... My mom drove off in a cute 2021 Toyota CH-R today that she purchased through Ashley. It was absolutely the right car and deal for her. No haggle pricing and quick easy deal. Ashley took her time during delivery to go over all of the technology and answer my mom's questions. GO SEE ASHLEY!! ”
Brian is very easy to deal with
“ After getting the (Simmons Rockwell) runaround several times from the service manager on our Nissan at Simmons Rockwell we decided to come to Williams Kia, very glad we did. Dealt with Brian in sales and he was very easy to deal with and not at all pushy. Basically we ended up buying a new vehicle and the entire process from start to final price was very good. Done with Simmons Rockwell finally. Thank you to Williams Kia. ”
No Pressure
“ Great Experience, no pressure from the sales department, very fair on trade in and price of vehicle. ”
Highly recommended
“ Ashley Good was by far the best I've ever had at explaining the process and even went through the car details for me!! I highly recommend Ashley if you are interested in buying or leasing. I felt heard and her patience with me was much appreciated. Very thankful and love my new ride!! ”
Such a GREAT experience!
“ We stumbled upon the dealership, which is an hour away from our home, during a road trip to pick up our daughter from college. After a test drive of the Kia Sportage, we were sold. We were so thrilled with the price, service, and quality of the product, we ended up making a lease deal through Don that very day. It could not have been easier and they took care of every detail. Such a GREAT experience! ”
Josh was a very professional salesman.
“ Josh was a very professional salesman. Really not too pushy at all. He treated with much kindness and respect. Josh was very knowledgeable of the vehicle we were buying. Read much about this vehicle in Consumer Research magazine. Yes, I spent some money but it's the very first brand new car we've owned and we've been married 38 years. Williams Toyota is a wonderful dealership, very nice personnel. Like I said Josh was great. ”
