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.

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.

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!

The best customer service I’ve had with a car dealership. Bri really took care of us and gave us a wonderful rental to use. After our car was serviced, we came to look at a new 2025 Kia Sportage. 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!
