Testimonials
Wayne is the guy!
“ Nicholas was an excellent salesperson at Kia—friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all my questions, made everything easy and stress-free, Highly recommend working with Nicholas if you’re looking for a great car-buying experience! ”
“ I took my car in for some recalls and they took care of everything in just a few hours. I was dropped back home instead of waiting on site and when the car was ready they offered to pick me up. Great service all around. ”
“ Highly recommend Kia McGrath in highland park. Great service. Great staff. Go get your car serviced with them. And if you don’t have a car, go buy one from them! I’m Always in and out when I need an oil change! Thank you Jackie at service!! ”
“ Nicholas at McGrath Kia of Highland Park was extremely helpful throughout our process. He was responsive, patient, and answered every question we had. I'd definitely recommend working with him! ”
“ My car was transferred to this dealership from another Mcgrath location. The customer service and follow up from the service team at this dealership has been amazing to say the least. Breana, Joe, Tristan, And Jackie have kept me in the loop every step of the way and return my calls the same day or at least within 24 hours. They are honest and transparent it's refreshing to have this type of quality service. Thank you. ”
“ Mike Delaney was awesome!!! After owning a telluride for 6 years, he taught me 100 new things about my car that I never knew. Patients, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much Mike. ”
“ Thanks Mike Delaney for my new Sorento. ”
“ Jackie Piece is the best...she was very knowledgeable and prompt at solving my issues and concerns. I recommend her great customer service and recommend the Highland Park dealership to anyone who wants the best customer experience. All employees at this dealership are fantastic hard workers. Under new dealership this Highland Park Kia tops any other dealership I've experienced. They are kind and considerate. I've read previous reviews from retrospective reviews about racism and I rebut those comments because I am an African American man and my experience with this dealership was exceptional well and fairly treated. This is the dealership that works with you and guaranteed satisfaction is the end result. ”
Jackie Pierce and Jose are the best and were very
“ Jackie Pierce and Jose are the best and were very knowledgeable and helpful about my concerns. I highly recommend their customer service and I give them a million star rating because of their prompt service and how quickly they were both able to solve my issues and concerns. ”
“ My car needed to be towed in for electrical issues - no car available. I spoke to Jackie, she got me a car within 30 minutes and has gone way out of her way to help me. I have been working with Orest Sosnivka in sales. He too has been extremely helpful, respectful and knowledgeable. ”
“ Pejman was a very kind and helpful salesman! He broke down all the pricing and options for us so that we could get a reliable family vehicle. I really appreciate him making the process seamless and efficient. He even reached out the morning after our purchase, congratulating us offering to go over any features in the vehicle if we needed assistance. Wonderful customer service! Also, I had also called multiple Kia dealerships and no one was real knowledgeable on working with military members who are trying to register their vehicle in their home state. I spoke with Jackie at McGrath who is a former marine and was able to get the process started before we even got to the dealership. These guys got it done and helped us through the process, so would definitely recommend them over us Kia dealerships for military members. Lastly, I did not catch his name, but another salesman took some time to play with and color with my 3 year old. Going above and out of the way to make us feel comfortable. I can't express how much I appreciate that as a mom and it was the extra step that made us want to buy the vehicle from this dealership. Thank you to everyone at McGrath Kia for the wonderful purchasing experience! We love our new Telluride! ”

Mike and Isabelle were phenomenal to work with. We came in with a number in mind and they gave us a great deal. No long wait. Extremely kind. Great customer service overall. ”

“ Greg Choina didn’t have to walk us through our purchase - there were plenty of capable salespeople around. But something connected with us and he gave my wife and me his entire day - the General Manager working with us all day long and we couldn’t be happier! We thought we were in the market for a pre-owned vehicle and got an amazing deal that he patiently worked out for us. But nearly minutes from closing, we thought, “Why not apply these generous benefits to a new car purchase?” It ended up being in the same ballpark, yet with ALL the features that each of us were looking for that the used one didn’t have (black exterior, terracotta interior, and tow package) - a custom build he found that the original purchaser reneged on. Kia, especially the Telluride, is kicking butt. But Greg is making all the difference in helping us feel how solidly on top of the world this brand and vehicle has become. Everyone in the market for a family vehicle should stop in to see Greg and his team. Thanks, Kia of Highland Park and Greg C! Happy New Year! ”
“ Our experience at McGrath Highland Park with Greg Choina (GM) was excellent. He took so much care to make sure we got the exact car we wanted. He walked us through all the options and was so helpful and patient as I had a hard time pinning down which vehicle to purchase. The price he offered for our trade-ins was generous and the price of the vehicle was more than fair and in our favor. We had a great time with the whole process and can’t reiterate how helpful and knowledgeable he was in ensuring we got the deal we were hoping for. What a truly wonderful experience! Thankful for all the staff at this location and I would hands down recommend buying a car here! Thanks so much, Greg! ”
“ Huge thanks to Wayne and Abdullah! They went above and beyond to make the whole experience smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. They were patient, answered all my questions! Highly recommend this dealership! ”
