18 Years of Kia’s Incredible Success
KIA ranks highest among all 33 automotive brands
and massmarket nameplates in the J.D. Power 2016 U.S.

first time in 27 years that a non-luxury brand has led the
industry in the study’s 30 year history! This incredible
success story is driven by a company dedicated to
quality, which makes it easy to understand why friendly
KIA’s sales have soared to the top 1% of KIA dealers in
the USA! For 18 years John and his friendly KIA team
have earned an exemplary reputation. They are known
for outstanding service and making a car purchase
FUN, not frustrating, with REAL DEAL pricing and no
hidden costs.
