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

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!!!!!
10/10 second time buy a car from them. Always polite and accommodating. Easy car buying and trade in. Tom R was awesome.
Calvin and Josh where amazing in all the process to get my car, thank you guys
Tom Richer does what the customer ask to do he listens
Tmmy is a great guy.He really cares and he cares about you like your family...
Mario Ayala was our salesman for our purchase of a Kia Telluride. He was knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and didn’t rush us to make a decision. We will definitely go back to Mario for our next purchase
Warren ‘Wheels’ was great to work with and understood our priority of a quick, seamless and efficient trade/buy. Would definitely recommend. Matt in the Finance office was equally as efficient. Thank you to both!
Ray was so helpful to me and my grandpa! My first new car! He guided us through all the steps explained all the cool features of the car! I would highly recommend ray! Thank you!!!
Great service today oil change and my car was done while I waited, Thank you for your service Charlotte and thank you to the technician and the gentleman who vacuum and cleaned my front floor mats
Gene was knowledgeable and helpful in my car buying experience
Really friendly and helpful staff who are very communicative. The process was seamless and went very smoothly. Griffin was great!
I ended up messing up the front right wheel of my car and the service team was able to fix it within a week. I also wanna thank Mario for helping me out throughout the whole process.
Ray Hilburger was great in helping us through the process of buying a CPO
Josh is absolutely incredible! Early last month, I had come in with my mom while service was closed, as our car's tire and axle was damaged. As service was closed, we had to leave the vehicle overnight, and did not know how we were going to be able to get home, as Uber was expensive and we could not afford it. Josh personally offered to give us a ride home to make sure we did not have to pay for an Uber, and even refused the payment my mom offered. I wish there were more people like Josh in the world.
Josh was very knowledgeable! He was able to answer all of my questions clearly and didn't play any games with me. Incredible experience!
When I say Gene was the best person to go to when it comes to buying a car he is great. I've been to other places and if you not coming with a A credit score they don't mess with you but Gene did magic and got me in a car, I highly recommend him and I will be back to see him for my second car. Go see Gene...
I highly recommend Palmen to anyone searching for a new or used car! Best service in Kenosha! Ask for Mario, he was a great help!
Great service and easy to work with!
