Gene Tellez

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!!

Gene is Mr Make IT Happen... he went above and beyond for me. His customer service is phenomenal..... highly recommend doing business with him

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.

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.

came in looking for a jeep wrangler, and walked out with a jeep wrangler! everything i was looking for. gene was fantastic!!!

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!

Gene was knowledgeable and helpful in my car buying experience

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.

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.

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!

Amazing experience!!! Will definitely keep buying our vehicles going forward from him. Gene made buying a vehicle such an enjoyable experience!

Gene Tellez’s personality and sincere desire to help people make the best choices for themselves is so refreshing. He made me feel at ease with the way he just talked with me about what I was interested in looking at and how he could help me if I decided to purchase a vehicle. He’s very relaxed and that helped me to relax. Gene also listened to what I had to say about what I was looking for. He never pressured me to choose a vehicle that was out of my price range just to make a sale. Gene is definitely as asset to the KIA family. I would definitely work with him again. Thanks, Gene!

Gene helped me buy my third car, he was really helpful and patient!! Great sale man found what I needed it!!

Gene is a pleasure to work with no pressure honest and very quick service very accommodating!!

Gene is a blessing to anyone that trust him... when they want to buy their new car or used car... look for Gene! He's the man to see!

Gene was incredibly thorough and did everything he could to help me get a good, reliable car for a good deal. I appreciate the honesty and willingness to work with me. He didn’t treat me like a number or a sale, he treated me like a fellow human being. Highly recommending my friends to see him if they’re in the market for a new vehicle

As always, our hopes and expectations were exceeded above and beyond. The entire team at Palmen was amazing and so resourceful! Gene was so fun and great to work with as our salesman. He listened and put us into the perfect car for our family! We would always encourage everyone to visit Palmen for the same experience we receive. We’ve purchased 4 vehicles from palmen and will continue to do so every time in the future. Thank you Palmen and thank you Gene for your stellar, Grade-A service as always!

Wow! Where do I even begin?!!! Gene helped me out so much. As a young woman walking into a dealership I didn’t know what to expect. I was worried they were going to try to screw me over, but Gene helped me out more than I can put into words. When you walk in look for the bedazzled desk and you will be in good hands. Thank you so luna Gene!

Wow, I went to two dealerships to check out Jeeps and Gene Tellez was the gentleman that helped us at the second dealership. He had the Jeep Wrangler ready for us to check out and was hilarious on the test drive! We appreciate how easy he made the process, not to mention he got us a smoking deal with a great finance rate that beat out our credit union. His follow up after the purchase was awesome as well. Gene really cares and wants to make sure you love your next car. Give him a shot sometime and you’ll see what I mean. Thanks Gene!!

I liked that we were approached right away but didn’t feel pressured to buy. Gene Tellez was so helpful and kind throughout the process as our salesperson. He had a lot of great information and helped guide us in picking the right vehicle for our family. The dealership was clean and well kept. Others we interacted with in the dealership were very kind and helpful as well. Overall a great car buying experience and I got the car of my dreams!!

I got a awesome deal! Gene was easy to work with and gave me the best deal! I'm very happy 2 wks after:When going for a test drive get it to 55-60mph. Lights went on check engine, tires.wont pass emissions.id say the computer was reset to sell with no lights on til home a wk.no air, had to replace spark plugs,coil packs,air conditioning leak,in cabin filter, oil pressure sensor, oil disappears n dont know where possiblehead cracked.gone through3 oil changes. Transmission slips, wheel barrings next is tires all with in 3 months of owning this car. Best part ALL out of MY pocket. Nothing is covered! I am no longer a happy camper .I'd say it was reset to sell. Not the salesmans fault he was great.

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...
