Let me begin by saying I researched Car and Driver, Consumer Reports and Edmund’s and Kia was at the top of the list. But I did do my due diligence and went to a total of 5 different dealerships and test drove over 7 different vehicles. And at one dealership not one person out of about 16 salesmen approached me. That was not the case at Kia of Simi Valley. I was welcomed by Joe as soon as I entered the lot the first time. He was friendly, helpful and not the typical heavy handed salesman. Then I returned another day to test drive a couple of cars and Cody opened the door and welcomed me with a sincere smile and desire to assist me. He was easy to talk to, answered all my questions and the entire process was low stress and low pressure. I felt he was looking out for my best interests which was very comforting. Plus Kia has the best bumper to bumper warranty coverage in town so I knew I was in good hands. Overall, this was probably the most positive experience I have ever had buying a car. From start to finish every hand that helped me was a wonderful representation for Kia. I may have walked into the showroom with a handful of unknown salesmen, but when I left, I felt like I had a pack of brothers looking out for me and wishing me well. I would happily recommend your dealership to family and friends. Thank you

Exceptional Service at First Kia Simi Valley – Thanks to Joe and Noah! I want to give a huge shoutout to Joe and Noah at First Kia Simi Valley for the outstanding service they provided to my sister. She had always dreamed of owning a Volvo XC40, and thanks to Joe and Noah, that dream has come true! From the moment we stepped into the dealership, Joe and Noah made us feel welcome and valued. They took the time to understand exactly what my sister was looking for and worked tirelessly to find the perfect Volvo XC40 for her. They went above and beyond to ensure she got an amazing deal, far exceeding our expectations. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. My sister is over the moon with her new car, and we owe it all to the exceptional efforts of Joe and Noah. If you're looking for a dealership where the staff truly cares and goes the extra mile, I can't recommend First Kia Simi Valley enough. Thank you, Joe and Noah, for making this such a memorable and positive experience!

Had a great experience getting a new car here. The sales person "Joe" was one of the best I have ever worked with buying a new car. Let me take my time and did not push me into anything I didn't want.

I’ve been bringing my Kia Sedona here for service ever since I bought it new. The service team offers very reasonable maintenance and repair costs once the factory warranty expires. They also don’t try to upsell or recommend unnecessary work only what’s really needed.

We just leased a Kia Niro EV from First Kia of Simi Valley, and the entire experience was truly outstanding. From the very beginning, Jesus--our salesman--was genuine, friendly, and straightforward. For the first time in our car-buying history, the dealership actually honored the exact deal they offered us over the phone, with no surprises or pressure. Jesus treated us more like a friend than a salesperson, taking the time to explain everything thoroughly and making sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. The rest of the staff was just as professional and welcoming. Even in the finance department, there was no pushy upselling--just honest, helpful service. The whole process felt more like working with a family-run business than a big dealership, and we couldn't be happier. We signed a 24-month lease on an unbeatable deal, and my son absolutely loves the car. Thank you to Jesus and the entire First Kia team for making this such an enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommend!

I have had my Soul in for service a couple of times. Every time I have dealt with Brian. He is always is professional, courteous, a little funny, just a pleasure to work with. Never any bullshit - just the honest truth from him. He's one of the reasons I look forward to buying my next car from you guys.

While I ended up not getting a Kia, I wanted to give a shoutout to Noah K. at this dealership. He couldn't have been more patient, friendly, and helpful as I test drove the Soul and Seltos. He knows the cars well, showing me the features and taking the time to answer my questions. He was also very honest about what and wasn't available on these models. He's truly a thoughtful salesperson, and had I decided on a Kia, I'd have been sure to buy it with him. Thanks, Noah!

A couple of weeks ago, we were reunited with our dear little KIA Forte. She had been in for service for a warranty repair. We are so grateful to the staff at First KIA. We purchased this little doll at this dealership nearly ten years ago. She is running like a charm again. We are definitely now a full-fledged KIA family.... especially after our top notch service experience. We cannot say enough good things about our service advisor, Brian Keelan. He kept us updated and communicated with us beautifully. He is kind, efficient, and has a nice, calming demeanor. We love our litte KIA buggy. She's a great car. We are happy to give good reviews for our service experience at KIA. Brian is great to work with, very knowledgeable and resourceful. They also have a nice waiting area for service and kind, helpful staff. Thank you First KIA Simi! and thank you Brian! p.s. they also do a beautiful car wash!

5-Star Review for Kia First I had the best experience ever at Kia First! A huge shoutout to Brian and Greg, the service manager, who both deserve 5 stars for their professionalism, kindness, and thoroughness. From the moment I arrived, they made sure my issue was handled right away. They went above and beyond to ensure all my necessary services were up to date and that anything covered by my warranty was taken care of—no unnecessary out-of-pocket costs for me. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellent protocol truly stood out. On top of that, they provided me with a brand-new 2025 Kia Sorento as a loaner, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Their customer service was top-notch, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Kia First, especially if you’re lucky enough to work with Brian and Greg!

I was looking for a Kia Sorento with a specific trim and color so I called a few Kia’s to get a sense for which buying experience would be the most positive. First Kia in Simi was the third Kia I called and was thankfully connected with Cody. I have a very demanding job and a 1 year old so I wanted to spend the least amount of time looking for the perfect fit. Cody has a straightforward and transparent approach to car sales, not to mention, I enjoyed getting to know him throughout the process. I highly recommend asking for Cody if you want a positive and easy Kia buying experience. I was in and out of the dealership within two hours with my beautiful car.

I bought a Kia Sorento hybrid from Cody Segal and was very pleased with the buying experience. He was very responsive through texts and calling. All of my questions were answered and the entire process was very smooth and efficient. If you want a great deal and great customer service, go see Cody at First Kia!

I had a scheduled appointment today, 5/30/2025@1130am. My service advisor was Sang, he was very professional and courteous and I can really appreciate that. This day and age, customer service has become a lost art, but Sang, at KIA, brought that spirit back! Thanks, KIA of Simi Valley to have a guy like that onboard. They even gave me a Military Discount. I will definitely, be coming back here again for my KIA needs. Happy Customer, Mr. D. US.NAVY VETERAN ⚓
