17 Years of Kia’s Incredible Success
When John Gilliss, the “Mr. Friendly” of friendly KIA in New Port Richey,
opened his dealership 17 years ago, there were only two models and most
had never heard of the brand. Over all those years, John and his friendly
KIA team have earned a reputation for exemplary service and making a car
purchase fun and not frustrating with REAL DEAL pricing and no hidden
costs. At the same time, KIA has increased their product line to a point
where it is only second in the industry to the Porsche lineup. However, more
importantly, KIA also has earned the J.D. Powers’ second highest scoring
nameplate in its 2015 Initial Quality Study, as they improved their position
to second overall among 33 automotive brands and the highest among all
mass market nameplates. This is a great success story that is driven by a
company dedicated to quality. It is easy to understand why KIA sales have
doubled over the last six years.
