We were referred to Palmen Kia and to work specifically with Warren Larsen. We talked with him before our visit and told him exactly what we were looking for and he had a car ready and waiting for us that checked all of our boxes. It showed he listened to what was important to us and took the time to show us what WE wanted. It took so much of the stress out of this whole experience! We feel good about the whole process and will be back to work with him for our next car purchase. We highly recommend Palmen dealership, and specifically Warren! Thanks for helping us get the car that we not only wanted but works so well for our family!
Josh and Mario are great to work with come see at Palmen Kia
Josh is excellent to work with! Give him a call at Palmen Kia. New Kias and many pre owned brands.
Definitely be back due to the service
Josh and Mario were excellent salesmen. Very nice, respectful, helpful, talkative did a great job being salesmen and being great people.
Fantastic buying experience from start to finish! First class, including explaining all of the many features of the car upon delivery. We highly recommend Palmen Kia of Kenosha. Ask for Warren!
All three of my vehicles have been purchased from Palmen, and this year I finally reached my goal of driving off the lot in a brand-new 2027 Kia Telluride. Buying a car can be stressful, especially when you just want the space to explore your options without feeling pressured. That’s something Palmen truly gets right. They respect their customers by giving you room to browse comfortably, while still being available and attentive when you have questions. I’m very grateful that everything worked out in my favor. Thank you again to the entire Palmen team for making this experience a positive one. Thank you again Jeff & Mario
Josh was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Jeff explained all of the paperwork thoroughly. Both were men with whom I'd do business in the future.
Mario Ayala and Matt in finance were great to work with. Everything was straightforward and easy. Mario got the paperwork and car ready for us in advance. He also took the time to go through all the features with us. This was the easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. Will be coming back.
Calvin was so awesome and very great customer service!!
Josh did a great job getting us a 26 Kia Great service
Mario Ayala is great to work with. See him for your next car!
Thanks again to Josh R. who was phenomenal & helped get us our new Lincoln a few days ago. Super grateful & absolutely LOVE it! You guys rock!
Exellent service!!!!
Just bought a great truck...very decent deal...salesman Warren was very nice and personable....thank you so much
Family of 2 becoming a family of 3 here soon needing a bigger vehicle and Ray Hilburger checked all our boxes!
Mike Moreno was an excellent salesman. He went above and beyond, so pleased with the outcome and excited for new car!
Ray hilburger at Kia palmen in Kenosha wi is very professional and helped us get are new car and a decent price
Huge thanks to Mike Moreno at Palmen Auto Sales for helping us purchase two cars in one evening. He stayed late on a Monday night to make sure everything was taken care of, and his professionalism really stood out. The process was quick, transparent, and actually enjoyable. It’s not often you can say that about buying a car, let alone two. We’ll definitely be back in the future.
Warren Wheels sold me my first car & made the process quick & simple!!
Mario Ayala was great to work with. Highly recommend and would return for future purchases.
Very easy experience. Very nice salesperson.
Staff is nice and explain everything
Great service at this dealership. Warren helped me get into an awesome vehicle, and guided me through the process with ease and patience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality vehicle, fair price and a great salesperson.
Warren wheels was a amazing sales man
Purchased a used car from Gene at Palman in Kenosha and he was great to work with even though it was a lower priced car. Gene even called a few days later to be sure everything was well. Thanks!!
Had an amazing experience at Palmen of Kia! We’re from Seattle and from the very first call Tom our sales person was very communicative. He answered all of our questions and even came in on his day off to help get this deal through! Could not ask for a better experience and we even got treated to local Kringles ;)
FRIENDLY, FAST SERVICE. Adrian, Charlotte, and Victor are great! Ethan saved my life
I was treated well and the transaction was completed in a timely manner. Afterwards, when I returned to drop off the title for my trade-in, I received a brief tutorial on the many different features of my new vehicle, and was again treated well. Thanks!
Warren L Wheels down for the win
Great costumer service with Josh Rosenblum, he was so helpful and friendly, highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a car!
Gene is Mr Make IT Happen... he went above and beyond for me. His customer service is phenomenal..... highly recommend doing business with him
Tom was very helpful and dedicated. He made sure I left with what I wanted. Highly recommended!!!!
Palmen Kia is an example of what all dealerships should strive to be. Mario and Nico were great to work with throughout the process. I live 1.5 hours away and everything that we discussed on the phone was 100% accurate when I arrived. Transparency at its finest and very friendly staff in each department. Would recommend to anyone needing a vehicle.
Great customer service...friendly staff!
Blake was very easy to work with. He knew what I really wanted and made sure I got it. He was personable and knowledgeable. He made the car-buying process as painless as possible.
Josh was awesome. Easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. Thank you so much!
Warren from Kia and Matt from finance were great. Very professional and knew the vehicles they were selling (shocked by how poorly other dealerships knew their product). I look forward to using Palmen for any future vehicle needs or purchases. Pleasantly surprised by the great service and vibe of the dealership. Thanks again guys keep it up! -Jack
Five stars for everyone… except Tommy (0⭐) Bought a car here and left very happy — the team is top-notch. - Sales: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Juan found me the perfect truck - Finance manager: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ —Zach explained the numbers like a "CRAzY"wiz with a great sense of humor. - Porter: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — handed clean and shiny. - Carol: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Girl Boss! Tommy: 0⭐ — Best smile, just don’t ask Tommy for help!
Just bought a 2016 Kia Sedona from my good buddy Gene at Palmen Kia here in Kenosha. This makes my fifth purchase with Gene. I highly recommend making your next purchase with a person who is highly knowledgeable of the product that he sales. Gene Tellez at Palmen in Kenosha...tell him the TaxMan sent you.
Worked with Warren Wheels on the purchase of my new Kia! He went above and beyond, grateful for his help and communication. The whole team made doing business from a other state easy. Thank you Warren for your help and patience. We love the new car!
Josh and the rest of the Palmen team were amazing and made the process stress free and easy. Im glad I went to palmen could not be happier! Highly recommend!
I love my new truck thank you Mike moreno
Ray was not pushy, he heard our needs and didn’t waste our time with unnecessary “dealership” talk. Definitely will do business with him in the future.
Bought a 2026 Carnival from Ray Hilburger. He was amazing. Very professional and knowledgeable about the car. Definitely recommend!
Shawn Haas was fantastic. He is honest, transparent, knowledgeable, and the whole team is dedicated to making the purchase and trade-in experience as quick and easy as they can. I will definitely check with Shawn the next time I need to buy a vehicle.
Had a great experience working with josh purchasing my new car. The dealership overall was awsome. I would go back and recomend it to others looking to buy a vehicle. Thanks josh keep up the good work
Great place to buy a vehicle! As for Warren "Wheels". He was great!
Warren was great to work with, made the car buying process much smoother ! WarrenWheels
Warren Wheels was great to work with.
Ray was easy to work with. He helped me stay within budget.
Mario gave us a wonderful sales experience from the initial test-drive to the day of purchase. Truly he is one of the best salespeople we’ve ever worked with, and we recommend him and Palmen Kia to anyone in the area looking to buy a Kia. Mario made it fun and as hassle-free as possible. The entire staff was professional, positive and respectful. It was clear they worked well as a team. A special shout goes to Steve in finance who was patient and knowledgeable. The cashier was also friendly and helpful. And we appreciated the eagerness and skill of the young man who salvaged my rolled-up license plate that I brought with me. This showed me that no matter what position the Palmen team member held, work ethic and customer satisfaction are paramount. I’ve had the Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige for a week and it’s an incredible car. It offers a comfortable ride with all the amenities you could ask for. Go visit Mario for a test-drive today!
Ray H. is the best. We drove an hour to see our exact spec. The experience was no hassle; from the test drive to the purchase!
I have now bought 2 Kia's from Mario! Great to work with and follows up promptly!
I spoke with Mario about buying a 2026 Kia, he made everything so easy and explained all my options. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful, I will definitely be coming back and recommending them to friends.
I worked with the service manager Victor and appreciated his knowledge and professionalism and he introduced me to Mario. Mario was very helpful giving details with all the services each car provided. With their help I ended up purchasing a Sorento X-Line! I highly recommend purchasing your cars here!
I have leased several Kia’s from Palmen and have been very satisfied with them each time. Last week I met with Demetrius to go over options on my 2023 Seltos, which I really liked. He listened to what I was looking for and showed me options. He was so nice and helpful- really made me feel comfortable. I left with a 2026 Seltos and after driving it for a week I absolutely love this vehicle. Thank you to the team for my satisfaction!
Josh was very informative and easy to work with.
Thanks to Mario Ayala for helping me get a new car. Great service
Had a some issues with a preowned vehicle i bought. José Solorzano & and the team at Kia made the best of a tough situation and went above and beyond!
I had such a great experience today at Palmen Kia thanks to Calvin! He was extremely helpful, patient, and made the whole process quick and easy. As a 22 year old girl doing this on my own, things like this can feel scary and nerve-racking but Calvin really took the time to explain everything and made sure I understood each step. I truly appreciated how kind, professional, and efficient he was throughout the whole process. If you’re going to Palmen Kia, definitely ask for Calvin he’ll take great care of you. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This place was not only friendly as professional but I felt that Warren was professional and down to earth. I will be back here once my lease is up. I had a great experience!
Warren was an excellent help and a great salesman to work with.
Mike Moreno did fantastic explaining things to an older gentleman with me. Also gave several options which helped to make his choice. Very good to deal with.
Had the pleasure to purchase my dream car at Palmen Kenosha with warren aka "wheels". we appreciate his time to explain things and never felt pressured from start to end.Truck and price as described online. warren and the crew went above and beyond and made it smooth and made it happen,very professional. i highly recommend them! again thank you and congrats warren
Worked with Mario at Palmen. Very friendly low pressure sale! Appreciate the help and love the Sportage!
JOSE YES!!!!!
10s all the way with Palmen Motors!!! From my initial contact with Sarah to my sales guy Larry Steponitis I could not have asked for better service! Thank you to everyone at Palmen Motors who helped make this happen I love my new Jeep Compass Trailhawk!
Had the pleasure to work with Gene and it was a great experience. Got me into my brand new Kia K4 and I love it. Even after buying my car he’s still helped me with a few things. Great sales man! Definitely recommend working with him and his team.
Gracias Mario. Excelente atención
Josh is great! Super knowledgeable. I'll absolutely be going back to Josh!
We love Larry. Our family has been going to him for years for literally 3 generations of family members. He genuinely cares about our needs and wants in a vehicle, and is always so knowledgable and can answer any question we throw at him. He's also so thorough and leaves nothing out for us, so we always know exactly what is happening at every step of the process. It's so nice to feel so well taken care of, the support is unmatched. He genuinely cares. I cannot say enough good things about him or have enough words to express the gratitude we have to him for everything he's done not only for me over the years, but my entire family. He really is the best. I'd also like to give a shoutout to Matt! He was amazing and so personable! He walked me through every contractual step and made sure we understood everything before signing. He was able to answer all of our questions and left no stone unturned. It really was a pleasure working with him. Also another shoutout to the other staff. I wish I knew and remembered everyone's names, but there was a kind gentleman who gave my daughter a balloon, which we were so grateful for. There was another salesman who filled in a bit for Larry while he had to run around, and he was so friendly and easy to interact with, and was more than happy to help us understand what we were looking at and help us work through our options. We love being a part of the Palmen family. I recommend Palmen to everyone I can when they're even just considering buying or leasing a vehicle. Thank you to everyone!! We are so happy with our experience and the car we chose!
I have to say how absolutely refreshing and remarkable Warren our Sales person was. We went through a nightmare with another dealership and were not sure we wanted to travel to just be disappointed again. We were absolutely not disappointed! We were immediately put at ease with no surprises and put into the hands of a great Sales Associate who very obviously is well versed and compassionate and very knowledgeable. Thank you Warren we are very happy!
came in looking for a jeep wrangler, and walked out with a jeep wrangler! everything i was looking for. gene was fantastic!!!

Jose did a fantastic job in getting me to drive a car in no time. Has excellent customer service. I highly recommend him. He is bilingual which helps alot. Thanks Jose for your help
Traveled from Michigan to Palmen Motors in Kenosha WI and it was well worth the 10 hour round trip. We worked with Ray Hilburger over the phone to secure an out the door price. They even negotiated our trade. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted and everything was exactly how we expected it to be. No hidden fees or last minute changes. The payment was exactly as they told us it would be. Matt did the financing for us and it was a very smooth process. No pressure trying to sell us upgraded warranties. These gentlemen were very professional and honest. So great that they shouldn’t be required to work so late on Friday nights. Great experience. Well done, Ray and Matt!
Awesome experience from start to finish. Ray made the buying experience a true pleasure. Great and honest communication
My experience working with Josh at Paulman Motors Kia was honestly refreshing. From the moment my husband and I walked in, I explained that I was the one purchasing the vehicle and Josh respected that immediately. He addressed me directly, answered my questions thoughtfully, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was that he never made me feel pressured. He gave me space to take my time, think things through, and make the decision that felt right for me. The atmosphere felt supportive instead of pushy, which made a huge difference. I had been considering a vehicle at another dealership before coming here, and the experience was completely different. Even after explaining that the car was for me, that salesperson consistently spoke to my husband and overlooked me. It honestly made me feel dismissed and uncomfortable. Working with Josh was the exact opposite. He was professional, respectful, and truly listened. If you’re looking for someone who treats you like the actual decision-maker and makes the process smooth and stress-free, I highly recommend asking for Josh. He made buying my Kia a really positive experience!
Josh was great! Answered all of my questions clearly and honestly, and didn't try to push me to do something I didn't want to do. I'll definitely be back in the future because of Josh!
Thank you, Warren “Wheels,” for your outstanding customer service. My husband and I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put into making sure everything went smoothly.
Josh was an absolute joy to work with! We definitely will refer him and be back for future purchases!
I love Josh! He was knowledgeable and not aggressive or pushy. I absolutely recommend Palmen Kia and Josh!
Ray is phenomenal! He cares for his customers and listens to understand their needs! This is my first time purchasing a vehicle from Ray and will be using him moving forward!
After meeting with the General Manager, Mike Zappala and his Service Director Rigo Fuentes, I have every confidence that Palmen KIA has honored their promise and commitment that their service center is dedicated to maintaining the top-notch condition of your Kia, whether it needs routine upkeep or more intricate repairs. I have the utmost confidence that Palmen KIA is a customer driven dealership and that they are dedicated to making sure that the customer is taken care at each visit to their service department. I recently had an experience that was resolved in a professional manner and Palmen KIA has my respect for how the issue was handled. Palmen KIA stands by its reputation that it will work with the customers to make sure that they leave satisfied with the experience.
Jose S. Is amazing! Quick and easy process!
The best! Made buying a car super easy. So friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend if you are looking for a new car.
Thank you for the wonderful and pleasant car buying experience. Josh Rosenblum, our salesperson, never pressured us and was extremely patient. He was knowledgeable about all the different makes and models of vehicles we looked at, and answered any questions we had. When we are in the market for another vehicle, Palmen will be one of the first places we look because of Josh. A lot of other BIG dealers in the area could learn a thing or two about customer service from Josh and Palmen Kia. Thank you again and see you in the future.
Bought a new car from Tom Richie, made it an easy process without all the nonsense I've experienced at other dealerships!
Thomas was great the finance company was awesome as well!
Josh was incredible! I will be going back to him for my next purchase!
If you are in the market for a new or pre-owned vehicle, I highly recommend visiting Josh. His extensive product knowledge and commitment to exceptional customer service made the entire process seamless. He is true professional who goes above and beyond for his clients. I am looking forward to working with him again for my next purchase.
Great service. Was done faster than I expected. The service receptionist was very friendly
Excellent Experience At Palmen Kia. Ray Did A Great Job Selling Me My K4. I Would Definitely Recommend Palmen Kia And Ray.
Overall my experience was amazing. From the moment that my wife and I walked in the building, we were treated very well. Calvin was the sales person that greeted us and we cannot say enough positive and highly complimentary things about him. We had been on a car search journey for awhile, but picked up steam over the last 2-3 weeks. After visiting various dealerships within the Kenosha area, we often left feeling extremely pressured and/or downright defeated. Rarely ever being shown exactly what we conveyed that we wanted. Instead consistently being "sold" on one thing or another. Calvin was the exact opposite of that. Calvin was informative, thorough, and never once provided any element of pressure doing our entire visit. We came in "looking" but not definitive on if we would buy from Kia. Neither my wife nor I had ever purchased a Kia, had never driven one either. Calvin made our experience the BEST car buying experience we've ever had. So much so that I purchased a car slightly above what I came in the door wanting to spend and yet coming away feeling very excited and positive about our purchase. That in itself has never happened for me. We have Calvin to thank for that. We also worked with Matt to finalize the paper, who was awesome as well. (It must be a Palmen Kia of Kenosha thing, in the best way possible). Matt said something in the 30ish minutes that we spent with him that I cannot agree more with and will carry with me moving forward in any future car buying experience. He said "buying a car should feel like a conversation among friends, good banter, proper information, and we should both feel as though we did right you". My wife and I will be back when she is ready to buy her next vehicle! Thank you Calvin, Thank you Matt, and thank you to your entire team.
Had an amazing experience working with Warren at Palmen Kia! Very friendly, knowledgeable, great listener, really worked hard to get us a great deal! Thank you Warren
Mario was great!!
Tom Richer…Always working behind the scenes for YOU! Thank you, Tom!!
I just purchased my third vehicle from Palmen Kia of Kenosha, and once again, the experience was flawless. If you are looking for a seamless, stress-free process, do yourself a favor and ask for Gene Tellez. There are three reasons I keep coming back to Gene: True Professionalism: Gene treats you like a person, not a transaction. He is patient, transparent, and never relies on high-pressure tactics. Deep Expertise: He knows the Kia lineup inside and out. He took the time to make sure I was getting the right features for my lifestyle and budget, answering every technical question I had with ease. Superior Post-Purchase Service: Some salespeople disappear the moment the papers are signed, but Gene is different. His "service after the sale" is unmatched—he follows up to ensure everything is perfect and is always available if I have questions weeks or months down the road. Palmen Kia has a great atmosphere, but it’s the people like Gene who make it a world-class dealership. I couldn’t be happier with my new ride. Highly recommended!
Go to Josh! He was excellent and went above and beyond!!!!!
Shawn Haas is the absolute BEST salesman I’ve ever had in regards to everything entailed in trading in- and buying a new vehicle. He goes above and beyond for his customers; whom end up being very loyal due to Shawn’s ethics, honesty, sheer kindness, and genuinity. My family is about to purchase a 2nd car from Palmen Kia only through Shawn and his “ above and beyond” customer service. Shawn THANK YOU! I am so in love with my new Sorento and we can’t thank you enough for your Superior service. We are so grateful- Lindsay and Robert Beyer You now have another loyal family that will only purchase vehicles from YOU!
Warren "Wheels" made selling my car easy, and was easy to work with throughout the process.
Warren "Wheels" helped us today selling my uncle's car. Really helpful thanks
Palmen Kia was extremely easy to deal with and got me exactly what I wanted within budget. Started the conversation virtually with Mike and Niko which seems like no one else would entertain. After coming to some terms I dealt with Warren “Wheels” Larsen who sealed the deal. Very personable and easy to deal with and made the process a breeze. Highly recommended!
Awesome experience at Kia Palmen ! Warren Wheels was extremely personable and helpful, as was the entire management team
After 15yrs it was time for a new car. We came back to Palmen where we purchased our last vehicle and looked up our guy, Shawn Haas. Purchasing a new vehicle can be a very intense process but we come back to Shawn every time because we know we are not just getting a sales person, we are getting a friend who honestly cares about the relationship and bonding with his customers. We left the KIA store yesterday with our brand new 2026 KIA Sportage EX and we are thrilled with this purchase. We drove two hours from our home in Two Rivers, WI and the entire staff at the Kia store did everything they could to make the process quick. Thank you to Shawn and the entire team at Palmen for making this happen!!!! Keep up the Great Work!!!
Shawn Haas very helpful and very knowledgeable on our daughters first car purchase.
We had the most incredible experience here. From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Every single person we encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and treated us so well! They each made the process so smooth and enjoyable. We walked away having had the best car buying experience we’ve ever had. I truly can’t say enough good things about our experience here and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! Special shout out to Mike the GM, our incredible sales guy Warren, Steve in Finance, Allan in Service and the young woman who took our payment whose name I can’t recall!
Ray was absolutely amazing to work with. I came in to look at a car and talk about getting a new one not knowing if I was going to be able to do it. He would call and touch base with me along with reassuring me we could figure something out. I came back in and he helped me get a brand new car and was very patient with all the questions I had!
My family and I have been coming to Shawn Haas for years and have bought and leased many cars from him. He's friendly, and will go out of his way to help you find the right fit for you! Also, he's a veteran and that means more than anything to us!! I just leased my 2nd new Jeep from him and I love it! Call him... he'll walk you through the process, find the right price for your budget, and you'll drive away with your next new ride!!
Ray was super helpful and great to work with! 5 stars! Palmen Kia is the best!
Ray and mackenzie were great, easy quick transaction
I had such a great experience working with Ray and Niko! From the moment I walked in, they were professional, welcoming, and never pushy. They really listened to what I was looking for and went above and beyond to make sure I found the right vehicle that fit both my needs and budget. They explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate the time and effort Ray and Niko put into helping me. If you’re looking for honest, knowledgeable, and genuine people who are dedicated to their customers, I highly recommend asking for Ray when you walk in.
Unhappy with my current Kia Sportage, I decided to sell it. After getting a quote from Kelley Blue Book, Plamen Kia was the first to reach out and say they are interested in buying my Sportage. I had the privilege to work with Warren. Warren was fantastic; not only as a car salesman, but in general. Warren made the car selling experience easy, painless and fast. When my Mom and I were waiting for the paperwork to be completed, Warren engaged in a conversation with us about life; our cancer battles, to be exact. I can always appreciate when a business professional engages in conversation. I also appreciated the fact that I was not pressured into buying another vehicle that day; I am undecided what I want to purchase as of now, but I do know that I will be returning to Warren to purchase a vehicle. Palmen matched the offer I received on Kelley Blue Book; which led me to believe Plamen holds a high sense of integrity to their customers. I would recommend Plamen Kia; specifically Warren to anyone that is looking to sell or buy a KIA.
We went into Palmen Kia Kenosha to see what we could get for our Kia Carnival if we trade it in. Immediately we were greeted by Warren "Wheels ". Immediately we expressed what we were there to do and Warren was assigned to us to help us with the process. Warren was able to figure out what were our needs based on the conversation we had and he went on with reccomending us a vehicle. He let us test drive the vehicle and gave us time alone to discussed things out. Once we decided to purchase a vehicle, the process was a bit lengthy but transparent and very educational. Warren made sure that we understood every aspect of our now, new vehicle. Thank you Palmen Kia and Thank you Warren "Wheels"!
Purchased a Kia Telluride from Palmen. Usually i get quite a bit of anxiety going into car dealerships but happy to say this experience was quite pleasant and very easy. Initially we were looking at purchasing the Kia Sorrento or another make, but we had some great guidance from Gene. He was super helpful and gave us some great advice to help us trade in and purchase a new vehicle. Thanks again and we’ll be back for the second car soon. If you’re looking to purchase and in the area, for sure ask for Gene!!
Warren “Wheels” Larsen was a big help in my car buying process. He was able to answer all questions we had and was very personable. Had a fantastic experience, and plan to buy from Palmer again.
Gene is a five star Salesman in my opinion, professional, informed in all options available to qualify for financing on your new car purchase. I will recommend him to friends and family.
Great guy to work with!
Thanks Mario
Gene Tellez was professional, and set me at ease immediately. No pushing to make the sale, but willing to let me take a new 2026 Sportage to see how it 'fit" me and my garage. He has earned my respect..!! and if I need to replace any vehicle...he's the man I see. I've worked with Palmen GM for years, so it was a stretch getting me into a non-GM vehicle, but so far, It's everything I had in my Cadillac,,,,and more.!!! Thanks Gene...and of course Mr Palmen for having such great personnel. I have the same trustworthy feeling with Jason Garon, in service at the GM dealership.
Warren “wheels” Mann…. He was so cool and made the buying experience easy and everything was super smooth! Thanks so much for everything!
Warren "wheels" was so cool and amazing! Get your next car from him he made the experience super easy and was very transparent and helpful!
Find Warren “Wheels” and get your next car from him! Super great service, super respectful of our time and made my experience AMAZING! Thanks so much!
Great experience!
Mario was a great sales man we will definitely be coming back in the future, the car we got is super nice and good quality. We are happy with the customer service here everyone is very friendly.
Ray and Charlotte got me a great deal when my old car died. I'm very happy. Very happy with my 2025 KIA Soul.
Ray is an amazing salesperson & I recommend him for exceptional service as he accomidates your needs.
Warren “Wheels” gave us an awesome experience when purchasing a vehicle. He was very conversational and got us all of the information we wanted immediately. We went out of town before our vehicle was ready so he gave us a rental and our trip went smoothly! Now, we have our new car and we absolutely love it. Great experience for buying a car.
Today my husband and I after 40 years have purchased our NEW not used car. Larry Steponitis is truly the BEST salesman ever!!!! Palmen has very pleasant and friendly staff. Highly recommended
Is was the best experience I’ve had. Definitely worth it and would recommend to everyone.
Jon Ayala was awesome. Was able to find a car for me. Told me when it arrived onsite and got everything done for me. I will recommend Jon to anyone looking for a car. Thank you Jon
Warren is very relatable, honest, friendly and did not pressure us into something that was out of our price range. My husband and I highly recommend Warren and his team. Everyone made the transaction easy and fast.
Quick and easy buying process. Tom was very helpful and had answers to all of my questions.
Tom Richer and Palmen crew were a pleasure to work with! Thank you for spending my kids inheritance!
Warren went above and beyond all my expectations. Probably the best vehicle buying experience I have ever had. Great team at Palmen and would definitely recommend to anyone.
Always great..
Gene helped us get an amazing deal on a lease. With 2 kids and barely any space for them, we didn’t have time to mess around with things we didn’t want or couldn’t afford. We told Gene what we wanted and he made it happen with no pressure to close if we weren’t ready. Gene is the guy to help you get what you need!
Highly accommodating and prompt! Got my kia back to me same day!
Ray was great to work with! I would highly recommend him if you’re purchasing a vehicle.
Ray was a fantastic to work with. He made everything comfortable and easy to understand. Thank you.
I just wanted to take a moment and give HUGE praise to this car dealership in Kenosha! My daughter recently had a bad experience at a different dealership and really needed a car. Her grandpa suggested Palmen Kia of Kenosha, and we’re so glad he did! Her sales person, Ray Hilburger, really took care of her! He knew what she had been through and promised to get her approved and in a car she would love… and he did! She’s the proud owner of a 2019 Jeep Cherokee and absolutely loves it! Let me just say this, the car buying experience (as most of us know) can sometimes be the worst, but not here. If you’re in the market for a car and not sure where to go, head to Palmen Kia and seek out Ray, you won’t regret it.
Great experience all around. Tom Richer was down to earth and answered all our questions in straight forward manner. Definitely our type of salesman.
I have been going to this dealership for many years they provide exceptional service. On July 25, 2025 I had my vehicle service for brake service and brake service flush and replace cabin filter and the Service Advisor Charlotte Hamilton is one of my best advisor was very good at her job she always take care of my vehicle very good she is friendly professional and always smiling. Charlotte deserve more than 5 star on my book. So if anyone needs there vehicle taking care of talk to Charlotte she will take care good of you.
Warren Wheels provided great service and was very patient and understanding of everything!
Calvin McIlwain at Palmen Kia was awesome to work with! He made buying my car easy and stress-free. Calvin really listened to what I wanted and helped me find the perfect match without any pressure. He was honest, straightforward, and super friendly throughout the entire process. From start to finish, Calvin kept me informed and made sure I understood everything. I’m really happy with my purchase and would recommend Calvin to anyone looking for a great car buying experience!
Warren “Wheels” is the best. Honestly, the best experience I’ve had at a car dealership. And that’s not to say I have had bad ones, I haven’t, but Warren is awesome. Patient, kind, knowledgeable. You can just tell he’s good guy. The next time I buy a car I’m going back to see Warren!
I had the pleasure of working with Calvin Mcilwain at Palmen Kia, and he made my car buying experience outstanding. Calvin was professional, friendly, and genuinely cared about helping me find the right vehicle. He patiently answered all my questions and explained every detail clearly, so I never felt rushed or pressured. Thanks to Calvin’s expertise and honest approach, I drove away confident and happy with my purchase. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable salesperson, I highly recommend Calvin Mcilwain at Palmen Kia!
Calvin was amazing! He was very helpful in finding my car. It was a great experience.
Mario was super helpful with my whole process! We started everything over the phone and he got me approved quick! I came and and drove off with my car. He kept his word, I appreciate him so much!
Kudos to Victor, the service manager! A couple weekends ago my family and I were driving back home to Ohio and developed some engine trouble. It was late on a Saturday afternoon but Victor got our van in to at least get an initial diagnosis. They weren't able to fix it on the spot because it was close to closing time and would require much more work to properly diagnose the issue and get it repaired. He helped me find a hotel for the night and a rental company that was open the next day so we could get a car and return to Ohio while he kept our van to get it fixed. The problem ended up being too fuel injectors that needed to be replaced, and even though the warranty had expired he reached out to Kia who agreed to cover the cost of the parts. What a blessing that was! Once the repair was finished he personally test drove the van a number of times to ensure that it was fixed, knowing that when I came to pick it up I'd have a long drive back to Ohio. He really went above and beyond in all respects!
Definitely recommend coming here especially as a first time buyer I was definitely nervous, but Shawn Haas was able to answer all of my questions and have no doubt that I was in the right hands. While I hope not to have to get a new car soon I know where I will go when I do.
Very relaxing deal with Ray Hilburger, no pressure, upfront, definitely a great experience. Would be happy to do it again.
Jeff Haines was the most patient, knowledgeable salesperson I have ever worked with. Would definitely recommend you go see Jeff Haines
Very helpful, resourceful, didn’t sugarcoat anything. All around great salesman who sought out after our vehicle needs and ultimately made a sale providing everything we were looking for, plus more.
Go to Warren Larsen the best experience for buying a new ride
This is the best place to buy a car hands down. Ray was so helpful and made this experience so stress free. He was very kind and honest, and helped me get the best deal possible. They have great, fair prices here, and I would recommend coming here if you’re ever looking for a brand new or new used car.
Love the people here. Joe and Mike are the best
Amazing experience!!! Will definitely keep buying our vehicles going forward from him. Gene made buying a vehicle such an enjoyable experience!
Mario was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. He was able to answer all of our questions and even voluntarily educated us on all of the vehicle capabilities. Mario and his team did an outstanding job and provided a seamless shopping experience! After purchase, PALMEN WILL POP THE TRUNK! And load your vehicle with cases of soda!
I worked with Warren Larsen to get my 2015 ram and it was by far the Best dealer experience I've had! No pressure, didnt try to hide or push anything into the deal; just a simple, straight forward approach. The finance officer Stephen Burke was just as awsome and offered their programs but was honest and not pushy at all. I did run into an issue with the truck down the road but Warren worked with me and their team to make it right. I've worked in a dealership setting for going on 12 years now and this is a great example of how a good dealership is suppose do business. We will definitely be going through them again for our next vehicle and recomend them to many!
Vengan a ver a Mario para buen servicio y buenos precios

5-Star Review for Palmen KIA of Kenosha and Ray Hilburger We are absolutely thrilled with our recent purchase of a 2025 KIA Sportage from Palmen KIA of Kenosha! Our experience from start to finish was nothing short of exceptional.

Ray was incredibly friendly, courteous, and engaging throughout our interactions. On-Time, As-Requested Delivery: Ray ensured that our new Sportage was delivered exactly as promised—on time and exactly as we requested. Impeccable Vehicle Preparation: The Sportage was prepped for delivery perfectly. It looked absolutely amazing when we saw it for the first time!

Final Thoughts We couldn't be happier with our new KIA Sportage and the service we received from Ray and the entire team at Palmen KIA of Kenosha. We are already looking forward to purchasing our next vehicle from Ray and highly recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a new car!
Great hassle free experience. Jeff was great and extremely helpful.
Warren wheels is the best salesmen here, very honest, and gave us a mini concert while waiting to finish up the purchase and gave us a pizza
Very pleasant experience. Tom's a great salesman.
Had a great experience with Joe with leasing my car. Has been a great salesman and will continue going back!
Finally, a Kia dealership that treats me like a person, instead of a piece of crap! Warren was great! Talked to me like I was a person and not just a number. Moved mountains to get me the exact car that I wanted. And I love my new car. I'll be coming back for my next car. great service! Satisfied customer right here!!!
Warren wheels is great
Ray did an excellent job selling us our new Kia Sportage. He was very helpful helping us set up all our new computer features.
Thank you Mario Ayala por ayudarme a consequent el carro y gracias por el excellence service que nos brindastes
After eight years with my previous car, I knew it was time for an upgrade — even though the idea felt a little intimidating. This was my first big girl car purchase, and I didn’t know what to expect. From the moment Mario Ayala greeted my mom and me with a smile, I felt at ease. He let us take what would soon be my new car out for a test drive, pointing out all of its amazing features — and I truly fell in love with it. When it came time to talk numbers, Mario was honest, fair, and made the entire negotiation process feel effortless. After we sealed the deal, he surprised us with several cases of pop — a fun way to “pop the top” in celebration of my new car! Stephen from the financial department was also incredibly helpful, taking the time to walk me through the 10-year wrap warranty, which I chose to get for peace of mind with such a big investment. I even ended up missing dinner that night, but Mario didn’t let us leave hungry — he brought out some delicious snacks for my mom and me, which was such a thoughtful touch. He also went above and beyond by letting me take a photo with the red bow on my car, staying past closing time just to make sure we could capture the moment. Truly the best experience! I’ve worked really hard and always dreamed of buying a brand-new vehicle. Thanks to Mario and his team, I found the perfect fit: the Kia Seltos EX. The entire experience was seamless, exciting, and something I’ll never forget. If you’re looking to buy a car, I highly recommend going to them — they made the process feel so special.
Have been going to this dealership for a long time and I will continue to go here for all my car shopping needs. They are extremely friendly and easy to work with.
Mario was great to work with!
Joe Soto gave us great customer . Highly recommend it! He helped us with any questions we had . Would highly recommend !!
I was helped by Joe Soto I just want to say he made the experience very easy and fast he has a good charisma. He is also very straightforward and honest with you in the best way about the car or truck you want to buy. If your looking for a car in the Kia dealership would highly recommend Joe Soto
Warren Wheels was amazing!! He made the car buying process super fun and easy!! I felt like I was buying a car from a friend! He was personable and honest! He had the car I was interested in ready as soon as I arrived! Highly recommend Warren if you’re looking for a new car! Thanks a million! “Blanca” and I are ready to cruise! ️
The Sales Consultant Mario Ayala helped me every step of the way from the test drive to finding the K5 with the options I wanted. He was also happy to answer any question before and after the sale. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
I had an amazing experience at Palmen Motors! Jeff was able to help me find my jeep grand Cherokee! When he was not there, Griff did a great job stepping in and helping with everything else. I definitely will be coming back for my future cars!
Car shopping can be either a long drawn out nails to the chalkboard experience or it can be smooth as silk. Mario Ayala was meant to sell cars, he made this car buying experience as fun as a day at beach! In all my years of buying a car I've never actually had a great, smooth time purchasing a car. This was for my Daughter's first new car, she was excited but nervous about spending all her hard earned money. We did our homework and she knew what she wanted it was a 2025 Kia Seltos, she knew they were good cars because I've had a Seltos for 5 years already. Mario reminded us of our appointment, he was forgiving when we ran late, and met us with a huge smile outside with a hand shake then to our surprise he already had the car pulled up and ready! We drove the car in less then 10 minutes and we chatted the whole time he was telling us all the wonderful features it had. Mario knew the car model inside and out, no pressure just informing us of the vehicle. We went in to discuss the pricing and he was kind, fair and had a great sense of humor. I'm telling you this makes such a huge difference when someone is as real as the day is long. My daughter and me found a middle of road price range he did some negotiating with his manager and in an hour or so we were celebrating with him on my Daughters first New, Fancy Car Purchase! Mario had us go to the financial office with I think his name was Stephan, I apologize if I"m wrong. He was so nice, clear and concise getting right to the point. He showed us the warranty’s, clearly explaining everything about them. Kia has such great warranties, we did purchase a wrap warranty for 10 years, the coverage was incredible. She wants to keep this car for 10 years or so and this will give her peace of mind plus save her a lot of money down the road. Mario bought her snacks she had missed dinner, they loaded us up with 5 cases of pop for there promotion "Pop the Top." She had envisioned a picture with the Hallmark Red Bow, and they actually got her one for the photos. They were closed by now but but Mario stayed late to show her all the features in her car. Who does this? MARIO! He just made this experience Unbelievably WONDERFUL! He said if you have any questions down the road she can call or stop in, there not just a car Dealership "Their Family." They has repeat customers time and time again and I saw why. She drove home ecstatic with her New 2025 Kia Seltos EX, you don't forget your first car purchase, especially when it was OVER The TOP FANTASTIC! Thank You Mario Ayala and staff at Palmen Kia of Kenosha you make cars FUN again! Kym & Autumn S.

This was my third transaction with Palmen Kia. I drove 4.5 hours to Kenosha to make sure that I got the best experience with the people I trust. Warren "Wheels" made that possible. He even delivered my 5 cases of 2 liters when I forgot to grab. Fun promotion!
Always a great experience!!! Go see Larry Steponitis, a true professional!!! I've purchased multiple vehicles with him!!!
Shout out to Warren Wheels and Stephen Burke at Palmen Kia. Warren gave me all the information I needed to make the right choice on a vehicle and Stephen finalized the sale quick and easy!

This is not my first visit to Palmen Kia of Kenosha, and it won't be my last. A big shout out to the Service Department, Shuttle Service and Customer Service! Excellence to all!
Ray Hilburger and his team were outstanding. He listened to our needs and anticipated opportunities that we had not thought about. He was professional yet welcoming and inviting. From start to finish Pullman Kia has no equal. We really look forward to returning for our next vehicle. Thank you to the whole team for making our experience outstanding!!!
Ray is amazing. Paid attention to all my needs and wants and took me right to the car I didn’t even know I wanted! I love my car.
