Customer Testimonials North Kansas City

Excellent experience. Very transparent. Dashon was great to work with.

Really easy to do business with!! Love me some Oakes Kia!!

Amazing salesman. Would definitely encourage you to use Travis!! One hell of a guy! Honest and straightforward!

I would like to report that my experience with Bailey was better than I would expect as a 1st time walk up at Oakes. I am slow to make decisions and it was a couple weeks before I got serious. Bailey was patient with me and provided all the information I asked for in a timely but not pushy manner. I would extend a recommendation to anyone that appreciates a professional person and no games and 1st class treatment.

Kevin was very transparent and extremely helpful in getting me the best deal!

Jonah provided us a great car buying experience! He was upfront, knowledgeable and personable. He was very friendly and interacted well with us! Would definitely recommend Jonah to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle.

He was very respectful,kind, and had a sense of humor.it felt easy to get help from him.i would recommend him for anyone wanting to buy a vehicle at oaks he does a great job:)

My daughter and I stopped by the dealership to look at a vehicle we found online. Travis Petrovich showed us the car, but said he had something 10 times nicer, for the same price, and perfect for my daughter. He was right! We both absolutely love the car and the buying process was super easy. Thanks Travis!

Dashon Adam's made sure all was taken care of for the purchase of our vehicle. I will recommend him and Oake Kia. Customer for life.

Lorraine was pleasant and easy to work with. She was patient with us and spent far more time than necessary making sure my daughter was happy with her purchase.

My past experiences buying cars have taught me to prepare for a dealership visit like it's a high-stakes poker game. But working with Travis Petrovich felt less like a negotiation and more like a collaboration. He was awesome. From the start, Travis was upfront, professional, and refreshingly honest. He got us an absolutely killer lease deal without any of the typical dealership runaround. He clearly laid out what he could do for us, which built a foundation of trust immediately. His best quality? When we asked for something, he would never just shut it down. His go-to response was always a calm, "Let me see what I can do." That phrase is worth its weight in gold. It shows a commitment to the customer that you just don't find everywhere. We drove away feeling like we'd not only won, but that the guy on the other side of the desk was rooting for us, too. Go see Travis. You won't be disappointed.

Blake was great! Knowledgeable and friendly.

Great buying experience!!! Ask for Marion Martinez, he really knows his stuff. Marion & his sales manager Les really went the extra mile.

Brian was absolutely amazing!!! He was so informative and genuine, and made me so comfortable throughout the entire process. Other salesmen at other dealerships have made me feel pressured and nervous about my purchase. I felt so great about this one. Thank you so much Brian, I truly appreciate you and will use you again and again!!

The Kia King: A Ride You Won’t Forget (In More Ways Than One) Alright, buckle up, because if you’re in the market for a car—and let’s be honest, who isn’t?—there’s one guy you need to meet: Chuck , the Kia Guru. This dude doesn’t just sell cars; he sells experiences… and not the kind of experience you’re going to want to forget after a couple of tequila shots. From the moment I walked onto the lot, Chuck had me feeling like I was the most important person to ever step foot on a dealership floor. It was like meeting an old friend who just so happens to be really, really good at understanding your car fantasies. Seriously, he knew what I wanted before I did. If he was a psychic, he’d be telling me my future AND selling me a deal that made me feel like I was robbing the place. And don’t even get me started on the test drive. Picture this: I’m behind the wheel of a Kia Soul, feeling like a rockstar. Suddenly, Chuck drops a line like, “Is it just the engine growling, or are you getting turned on by the leather seats?”—and suddenly, I’m like, “Wait, are you trying to sell me a car or a weekend getaway?” It wasn’t just the cars that made me feel like a million bucks. It was the whole vibe. Chuck doesn’t just push vehicles. He knows how to make the process feel like a smooth ride. He listens. He’s a great listener. And no, not the kind of “I’m just waiting to talk again” kind of listener. The “I get you, I’m gonna hook you up with something perfect for you” kind of listener. He doesn’t want you leaving until you're totally satisfied, and I guarantee you will be. Oh, and the deals? Let’s just say, they’re better than a two-for-one happy hour deal with extra tequila. You'll leave thinking, “Wait, did I just get the best offer in town or did I black out from how sweet that was?” Seriously, this guy is like your cool uncle who knows all the best shortcuts and is always a few steps ahead of you. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, don’t worry. Chuck will guide you—like the road trip partner who knows every scenic route and all the best pit stops along the way. And let’s be real: no one does it like Chuck. He’s got jokes , charisma, and the type of charm that will make you feel like you’re the most important person in the room. It's like shopping for a car, but with an extra side of fun and a splash of flirtation. And maybe a few bad puns, but hey, who doesn’t love those? So if you’re looking for a new ride and you want a deal that’s almost as smooth as a late-night conversation with a glass of wine, hit up [Buddy’s Name]. You’ll drive off in your new Kia thinking, “Wow, I just got the best deal of my life, and somehow, I’m still not mad about it.” P.S. He might slip in some questionable dad jokes or suggest the backseat test drive might be a bit more comfortable than expected. But hey, you’re an adult—you can handle it.

Brian Wildman was our salesman and he did a great job with the entire purchase process. He was very personable and made the transaction a positive experience. We highly recommend him if you’re buying a car from Oakes!

My husband and I were very satisfied with how our salesperson Bailey Boggs was so helpful and informative. She went out her way to make sure we were satisfied and got the vehicle that worked best for our needs. Thanks so much. I know you will go far in your career because you have the passion to give people what they want. We came in to look not planning to buy. She was never pushy but said all the right things to make us buy.

Brian Wildman was great to work with. He is new to KIA and didn’t have all our answers right away but was eager to figure things out. From our multiple questions to walking entire lot with us, the effort was there without hesitation. Finance team was easy to work with and we came away with the exact Kia Carnival we wanted! Thanks Brian and team!

Dashon was very helpful in getting my husband and I the car and the price as close as possible to what we wanted! He went to bat for us and was successful! Thanks Dashon!

Dishonest Adam's was helpful and was crucial in the buying and negotiating process. He was patient til' the end through the test drives and purchasing the vehicle. Impressed!

Brian was incredible to work with. He listened and went to bat. Brian was timely, even with significant customer demand at the time of my appointment. Thank you for your service, Brian!
