I just leased my second Kia from McGrath Kia of Highland Park and had another great experience. I walked in and, two hours later, walked out with a new Sportage that fit perfectly within my budget. Huge thanks to Pejman, my salesperson, and Paul in finance for making the whole process feel easy and straightforward. They worked hard to put a deal together that made sense for me, and I really appreciated their transparency and efficiency. Grateful to have a dealership I can trust. I’ll definitely be back again.

I’ve been eyeing the Kia Carnival Hybrid for a while now. With one child already and a second on the way, I definitely need a larger vehicle. I came across Charlie’s post on social media and reached out to him. He was incredibly patient, answering all my questions about specs and financing. I decided to meet him the next day to discuss things in person and take the car for a test drive."As we spoke, I realized he is a genuinely great person—polite and incredibly patient. He walked me through all the features and explained exactly how everything worked. I felt I could truly trust him, so I let him handle the process. He offered a price I simply couldn't refuse, and the interest rate was well within my budget. I highly recommend that everyone go to Charlie for their next car. Thank you for the excellent service today!"

Nicolas Vazquez worked to find the right car for us and get it to us in a short time frame. He was available via text when we left to work things out and matched a deal from competitor. Showed me the whole facility so it's easy when I come back for service. Clean showroom. A little small now but it's getting an addition of both showroom and service space. Friendly, easy to work with. I filled out my credit application before going in, which shortened the transaction process but I was still there 2 hours. Lots of time spent with finance person offering packages we frankly didn't want. She was friendly throughout. I'm excited about the new car-- it's super safe and fun to drive. Good experience all around.

Highland park Kia is a legit place to go. I had a great experience, i unfortunately had a transmission issue and got towed to world Kia Joliet. I picked up my car from world Kia Joliet when they told me it was repaired. When I picked up the car from world Kia Joliet, the car was making noises so I took it to highland park Kia. Highland park Kia, showed me the faulty work that world Kia Joliet did and sent me a video on the issues. This was very helpful and helped me out. In my experience, McGrath Kia of Highland Park is a business of integrity, and puts their customers first. I would recommend McGrath to anyone for their service needs.
