Great experience with Southside Kia. Everyone was very friendly and helpful throughout the purchase process of my new vehicle. Went far beyond making sure we were satisfied with everything. Highly recommended!

Southside Kia service really knows the meaning of the word service. My car was thoroughly taken care of and I had a shuttle to and from my house so I didn't have to wait. It was very pleasant and efficient service.


Excellent sales service and pretty painless through the process of purchasing my new car. Rafik Abohattab/ Sales Dept. and Kristen Trainer/ Finance Dept. were very helpful and professional. I would highly recommend working with either on purchasing very next new cars. So far I have no issues or complaints with my new Telluride.

I was able to get my services completed even coming at the latest time , the whole staff was friendly upon arrival and when I left.

Excellent service! The staff is very professional and informative, keeping you in the loop throughout the entire process. Most recently I had to have some major work done on my vehicle and the powertrain warranty covered it. Get the warranties! I highly recommend Kia Southside for your service needs.

Working with Carisa to have my engine replaced (Powertrain Warranty!) was such a professional yet personable experience. She kept in touch every step of the way to make sure I knew what was happening. The warranty also includes a rental car for the days I was without my Soul. I would gladly recommend Kia Southside for superior service.

An easy and enjoyable transaction. Things were simplified and explained in a very clear way. I would like to mention the person I dealt with, Firas Hammami, who helped me sign the required papers and choose the car that suits the thing I want. I advise you to deal with him.

Anthony Grant was Excellent very Professional.. polite caring and understanding. Keep up the good work😊

Excellent Service. Bought my 2023 Sorento here and had it serviced recently. Jasmine Sosebee was a great help. Very attentive, helpful and professional. Definitely go to her with any servicing needs!

I had my first experience with Southside Kias service department today (as I purchased my Kia from another dealer). From start of booking to driving out today WOW was a smooth and kind experience. I dropped my car off before work and was kept in the loop throughout the day by Reilly as well as mechanic Jonathan R as a I had a window issue as well as regular maintenance to address. I can’t express how nice it is to get honest suggestions without pressure or overselling. Pick up was smooth as I could pay online and a quick ...

Very friendly an great customer service


Jasmine was GREAT!!!

Great dealing with these fellas. Ask for Nick

We had an amazing experience getting into our new family vehicle here at Southside Kia! This was our 4th Kia dealership we had dealt with looking for the right vehicle at the right price and they worked diligently to make sure that we found it. Phil "The Doctuh" Smith came through for us in every regard with the right vehicle, color, interior and final price, all while making us feel completely at home and relaxed. If you're ready for that new Kia, skip all the other dealers and come straight to Southside. You won't regret it!

Great dealership jasmin was amazing and helped me when I needed help. She was very helpful

It never fails when I bring my vehicle to Southside Kia, that I received the best service possible. From the service department, specifically to my service advisor Anthony to the GM Joe McGuire. They are always willing to go above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. There are several Kia dealerships between my home and Southside Kia, but it is worth the drive to have them service all of my vehicles needs. From a simple oil change to a recall, they do the work in a timely manner and ensure it is 100% right before returning the vehicle to me or ...

I am a long time Kia customer and have been using Southside Kia for all my car service needs. Reilly Mickey always makes me feel like a valued customer and is attentive to the service needs of my Kia Forte. I am not car savvy. When I call Reilly with a service problem, he always makes time to discuss the issue and works me in for service if there is a pressing issue with my vehicle. For me, the quality of a car dealer's service department is number one when purchasing a vehicle for service after the sale. Kia ...

Robert Delvecchio squeezed me into replace my dead battery. He advised up front the cost and warranty information. The service was fast and accurate. I was on my way in no time.

South side Kia is the best. They always get done within an hour and half. Everything is always right the very first time. Highly recommended and jasmine is the best !!

I visited Southside Kia on Saturday, October 7th and was assisted by Rafik Abohattab. No pressure was applied, impeccable professionalism and understanding of my unique situation. We were treated so respectfully by all the other employees around us. Rafix listen and went over every detail with me and my sister. I learned a great deal and got the deal that I was hoping for. I am a born again believer and felt like great favor was shown to me because of the exceptionalism of God! I felt so blessed when I left. I have and will continue to recommend Southside ...

Excellent and pain free buying experience. Not to mention the Telluride is sweet. Thanks guys

Had an incredible experience shopping at Southside Kia. Dennis was an excellent sales person and took great care of me. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a car.

Always a pleasure working with Carissa she doesn’t offer things I don’t need and always gets me taken care of even when it’s a last minute appointment

Service Center staff were very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. As a shoutout, Carisa Bird, Assistance Service Manager, did a fantastic and remarkable job, was very attentive and kept me to update and made sure my appointment was right on time and out the door as promised. Excellent service!

I thank KIA for Anthony Grant for his Good customer service, personally, professionalism, he did a great service Job on my Car that’s why I keep returning their for service.

My service advisor at Kia Southside is Anthony Grant and he has always done a great job in managing all of my car's service needs. My experience with Anthony spans 4-5 service visits over last 2 years and included new tires, new brakes, and various other routine maintenance. He's consistently handled things timely, transparently, and always trying to keep my costs reasonable. Thanks Anthony !


Robert Delvicchio was fast, friendly and courteous. My car was ready on time and he followed through on a promise he made of emailing me a copy of the details of my extended warranty

AMAZING SERVICE!

Good customer service and follow through. Timely. Carissa Soto is a great service advisor.

Mr Tyler Fowler helped me and assisted as well as kept me feeling as if my issue was one that was important and he as well as Kia had my best interest at heart

Very efficient service but outrageously expensive. Almost $500 to flush out a transmission with $197 being labor.

Good Job!

Everyone treats you with such respect and gives you the most upmost customer service from the time you arrive until the time you leave making sure you are completely satisfied. I would highly recommend Southside Kia..


Firas Hammami sold me my second KIA last week. When I walked into the dealership last week, I asked for Firas and would not accept working with anyone else. Firas is personable, fair & easy to talk with about your needs. He listens!!

Great customer service didn't wait long and love the fact that I always receive a service review video of them doing an inspection check point on my vehicle. Thank you.

I was completely satisfied with my Kia service with my assigned advisor Anthony. He helped me in a timely manner and communicated clearly. It was a great experience.

I love Southside kia. Always great service. Had the pleasure of working with Anthony this time. He made sure I was in and out so I could enjoy my birthday. Thank you again ☺️

Thim Tin is very helpful and has great customer service skills. Between getting to know us and our need he also educated us in the different cars in the lot. If you’re looking for a new or used vehicle ask for Thim!

A Kia employee named Trey was very helpful and had great customer service. I was able to be seen at my appointment time and my service was completed anytime in a manner.

Service checkup for my Kia and Clay Newton took care of my car and me. He kept me up to date on service and made sure I was in good hands.

Excellent customer care!!

I could not have been happier with this dealership. We were not pressured nor was there an attempt to manipulate us into buying higher than we budgeted for. We worked with Kyle and Corey and they were both incredibly helpful. We love our new Kia!

I was so relaxed and felt no pressure at all. Kyle and Corey were both extremely helpful and we got a new car for exactly the amount we were hoping to pay. I can't recommend this dealership enough.

The car is running well and the ac is working fine. I'm very satisfied with the work Anthony Grant's team did to the car.

Thank you for the excellent service. Carisa Bird was the Service Assistant on my last visit. She did a great job. Thank you

Thim Tin did a great job from the time we stepped on the lot, test drive through negotiations and finalizing the purchase.

The staff were knowledgeable, courteous, and made the car buying process painless. Nick Soboleski, in particular, was extremely helpful in providing expertise and information that allowed me to make an informed decision.

Amazing experience !! They make things happen . Terry in sales and Kristen in finance are the best . Best car buying experience I‘ve had in awhile .

Southside Kia fixed my vehicle's issue. Carisa Bird was fantastic.

Anthony was very helpful. The car went in for two recalls, and was successfully resolved.Great customer service from the entire team 😊

Thim tin was great, I was happy to meet him. He does a good job.

Very friendly atmospher from the time you come in the door. All the sales associates were very attentive and welcoming. Masoud was great. He Took the time, was very patient, and Worked hard to using resources to put a deal together.

Robert at Southside Kia does an excellent job of understanding a problem and solving the issue as quickly as possible in a way that is convenient for the customer.

Kia is great. Makayla addressed my issue promptly with my vehicle. She answered all of my questions. I will definitely work with Makayla Mason at Kia again.

We had a great experience with Matt at Southside Kia, this man went above and beyond and still is after the sale!! Such a great group of men and women they made us feel right at home. Thank you!


The service team does an excellent job at servicing my vehicle. I have no complaints.

They try to fix any problems that have arisen since the last visit and to get you in and out in a timely manner.



I had some recalls performed. I made an appointment and Trey checked me in. He was extremely friendly, professional and helpful throughout the entire process. When I can to pick my car up, he asked me if he could run it through the car wash as a courtesy. It was a great experience!

Excellent, timely and professional service from Southside Kia Service Department. Anthony...you're that Dude!!!! Thank you Sir!

Anthony Grant was very polite and efficient, updating me frequently of the status of the work being done and expected cost.

I highly recommend Southside Kia in Jacksonville. Robert Delvecchio kept me informed as my car was worked on, provided an estimate of the cost and coordinated transportation for me since I left my car overnight! New to the area and happy to find a Kia dealership that is so professional.

Excellent customer service, Anthony really made sure my car door got fixed and was very truthful. Will definitely be back

Matt Soltani sold me my 2016 Kia Soul, so I contacted him to ask about it's current trade-in value. While he finished up with another customer, his brother Mo helped me select, within my budget, & test drive a 2023 Kia Soul LX from your on-site inventory. Matt then helped me decide whether to buy or lease & determined my pay-off on my 2016 Kia Soul. Kristin Trainer efficiently handled the lease application process & all my supporting documents. All-in-all Matt Soltani & his team helped me drive off with a beautiful 2023 KIA Soul LX, which now makes my 4th KIA since 2011. ...

Dennis got me an amazing deal!! He made the process so easy. I had gone to two other dealerships before coming here. He was patient and let us go on two test drives, and we were still out of there in no time with a new vehicle. Thank you!!

We went to SS Kia to look at used cars and were assisted by Kyle Sherman. He was very courteous, answered questions well without pressuring, and assisted us through and beyond the sale. Highly recommend.

Have experienced many different dealerships over my past 60 years of buying cars and I must say working with Southside Kia was one of the best experiences I have had. The entire staff was very attentive and helpful in my recent search for a new vehicle. My sales person, Glenn Lepkowsky, was exceptional in every way! He greeted me when I entered the store and was eager to answer all my questions and work with me on structuring a price and financing that met my needs. I highly recommend Southside Kia and especially Glenn for any car buying or selling needs ...

Awesome place of business. Nice relaxed atmosphere with great music and customer service. Go see Nick or Doctuh Phil...they'll take care of you. TRUST! Got mines, now go get yours.

Service worker Anthony Grant was great.

The KIA service dept. is always "top notch" and this visit was no exception!! Good job done by the whole team during my recent visit. Keep up the great work..... Ms. Victoria

Anthony Grant has been my service advisor for 2 years now and has taken exceptional care of my car. All the service needs are brought to my attention and any repairs have been completed in a timely manner with updates given prior to the service ending. I recommend this service location to every Kia owner!

Very Professional and Knowledgeable! Always going the extra mile to make sure you are looked after!

Robert Delvecchio helped me with everything I need. He is a very pleasant person to talk too. He will help you with ever you need help with. I want to thank Rob for everything he has done and explained things to where I can understand it. Thanks Rob for everything. I’ll be back again.
