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.
Mario Ayala was amazing I’m really happy with my purchase thank you palmen auto of Kenosha!!!
Absolutely great experience with Tom. Highly recommend!
The Sales rep, Mr. Larsen was very helpful, was very helpful, made sure all questions were answered
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!
Warren Wheels hooked it up!! Super happy with the service!!
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.
Warren Larsen was very helpful and nice.
I loved my experience at the Kia in Kenosha, Calvin was so helpful and nice. I enjoyed the way he treated us and how we did everything for I can get the car I want.

Charlotte, Vincent, and the rest of the crew at Palmen Kia are wonderful! Always so kind and helpful!
Joe Soto a salesman at Palmen Kia did exceptional service helping me buy my vehicle from him and I would recommend him to anyone as he made the experience very comfortable and easy for me as I was nervous buying a vehicle
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!
Joe Soto was my Car Sales Man was very informative very friendly. Help me figure out what was the best for my income would highly recommend ask for Joe.
Joe Soto provided excellent service and information. I would highly recommend him for your next car buying experience.
Joshua campagna was amazing! He got me sorted with my new car and I love it
Great experience very easy and not stressful at all. Ray is fantastic!we drove all the way from central Indiana to come back here! This where I got my first car and they gave me a good deal and once again Ray did his magic got me a great deal.
Drove from Indiana up to Wisconsin to get a car from Ray 10/10 would recommend
Mario Ayala is your go to guy! He's super understanding and really willing to work with you. All the experience he has definitely shows when it comes to providing a vehicle for you or your family. I've bought 2 cars with him and I have never been disappointed. He's super reliable and really available. Side note: this Kia dealership has to be one of the best. We appreciate them
Worked with Warren wheels and the whole experience was smooth! Extremely happy with his customer service
Ray Hilburger made this transaction seamlessly easy. Highly recommend Ray.
Joe helped my finance my first car! I walked in with my check for the down payment and he made it so so easy for me!! Love it! Thanks Joe
Kia palmen kenosha !!!! My wife and I recently purchased a new car from Kia Palmen Kenosha, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We faced challenges getting approved, but Mario Ayala and Joshua Campagna went above and beyond to make it happen. Their patience, determination, and expertise turned a stressful situation into a smooth, successful day. Not only did they get us approved, but they did so with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Their dedication is unmatched, and they made us feel valued every step of the way. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! Highly recommend working with Mario and Joshua—true professionals who make a difference.
Warren was personable and kind and worked with us. Would recommend!
Thanks for everything Ray Hilburger, Everything went as planned fast and easy!!!

Great service from Shawn Haas!
Gene helped me buy my third car, he was really helpful and patient!! Great sale man found what I needed it!!
It’s always great to work with Ray!!
Our sales manager Warren was friendly and attentive, but not pushy. This made the buying experience great. Also, with Matt, it was the least painful financing experience I’ve been through.
We just bought a Kia sorento with Warren “Wheels” and he was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back for our next car!!!
Warren wheels gave us an amazing experience at Palmen Kia of Kenosha. He was so knowledgeable and made the whole experience easy! We love our new Chrysler Pacifica!

Ray was SOOOO helpful, I had such a smooth experience to buying my new car. Helped make sure everything worked out for me going through hard time. Highly recommend!
I hadn’t car shopped in 12 years and was super worried. Warren Wheels was my salesman. He was friendly, got me the car I wanted with a nice price, and personally worked on fixing two spots where the paint was messed up. He did several little extra things to make sure everything was spot on. Two thumbs up!
I had a really great experience! I got the K4 GT-Line Turbo and I’m super excited about my new car. Shawn helped me out and he was fantastic. I never felt any pressure at all, which I really appreciated. It genuinely felt like if I had walked out without buying, it wouldn't have been awkward or uncomfortable—they would've been totally cool with it, if you know what I mean. I liked that we drove on the highway, side streets, and busy roads so I could really get a feel for how it handles in different conditions. Shawn was efficient and to the point, which I loved—he didn’t keep repeating things or try too hard to sell me on anything. That kind of sales pitch can be super annoying. Overall, my sales experience was excellent, and I’ll definitely come back when it’s time for my next car. Also note, the energy in the dealership felt good, to me that’s a rare thing since sadly car sales guys have a bad reputation. But here you are definitely taken care of.
We purchased our 9th car from Shawn Haas today. He is the most considerate salesman I have ever dealt with--always goes out of his way to help his customer.
We always have a wonderful experience buying our cars from Gene! This is our 5th one! He is very efficient yet cares about us. A perfect balance!
Very smooth experience. Tom was great and very helpful!
Jeff is the best. Everything was very easy
Mario is the best with customer service
Mario Ayala nos ofreció un muy bien servicio y nos explico a detalle las características de los los carros que nos interesaba, muy paciente a su vez .
Quick, Efficient, & Great customer service! Look for Mario! He’s the best.
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
JOE SOTO IS THE BEST FOR BUYING THE NEW CAR AND THE OTHER S
Warren "wheels" was very easy to work with! Super nice and personable. He made buying a car very enjoyable.
good customer service, joe soto is very kind.
I worked with Danny Cardinali and I could not have been in better hands. He was so kind and genuine and worked with me even passed close to help me find my dream vehicle. I cannot recommend him enough. Anyone who goes to him is in the best of hands.
Just bought a diesel grand Cherokee from them, Tom was my sales representative he was great and friendly, Any questions I had he answered, even after I pulled out of the lot he had my back
Warren worked with me when buying a used vehicle and went out of his way to stay late and get everything done with the best possible deal. Can’t ask for more than that!
A great guy to buy a car from! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable! A great experience!
Warren Wheels helped me finance a brand new car! Would recommend!
Larry Stephonitis is the best. He's the reason I am a return customer.
Great salesman! Would recommend
I had an outstanding experience at KIA, thanks to Charlotte's exceptional service. She was informative, efficient, and genuinely friendly. A pleasant surprise was her initiative in applying a coupon I didn't have, making the experience even better. My car was washed so thoroughly after the repairs that I hardly recognized it! Highly recommend!!!!
Second Jeep I have purchased through Warren "Wheels". Honest and went very smoothly. I will always ask for Warren. Very knowledgeable also. Great Experiene!!
Just had a great experience at Palmen Kia buying our new Sorento! Mario Ayala was fantastic! We were driving from almost 2 hours away and Mario took the time to call us and introduce himself before we arrived. We had to bring our 10-month old to the dealership for the entirety of the negotiation process but Mario was completely understanding, even when she started getting fussy. Mario was also up front and honest about everything, and didn't try including any hidden or unnecessary items, which we caught another dealership doing just a few days prior to visiting Palmen. A+ experience!!!
Tom did an amazing job taking care of my family and we will definitely be returning to him
Subject: A Truly Exceptional Experience with Mario Ayala at Palmen Kia of Kenosha This review is long overdue, but I truly feel compelled to share my experience. A few years ago, my daughter purchased a vehicle from Palmen Kia of Kenosha, and we worked with an outstanding salesman. When it was time for me to purchase my own vehicle, I knew exactly who to turn to—Mario Ayala! In January, I had the pleasure of working with Mario to purchase a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (L). Initially, I was torn between the 2021 model and a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (L), and Mario was incredibly patient while I weighed my options. There was a strange rattle in the 2021 Jeep that I couldn’t quite pinpoint, so Mario went above and beyond to let me take an extended test drive with the 2023 model while they investigated the issue with the 2021. Once they identified and fixed the rattle, Mario graciously offered me another extended test drive with the 2021, so I could be completely sure about my decision. After almost two weeks of test driving, I finally made my choice—I went with the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (L), my original favorite! I cannot express enough how much I appreciate Mario’s dedication to customer satisfaction. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care for my needs were evident throughout the entire process. No matter what challenges arose with other areas of the purchase, Mario remained absolutely top-notch. It was a true pleasure working with him. If you, a family member, or a friend are in the market for a vehicle, do yourself a favor and ask for Mario Ayala at Palmen Kia of Kenosha. He is, without a doubt, the best!
5 stars to Mario Ayala! If you go to Palmen- ask for him! He worked with us for several hours and showed us several cars- waiting patiently while we decided on one and then fought to get us the best deal. Amazing! Also- the finance department was packed and busy all day. When we got in there- the finance guy we worked with was also patient and super knowledgeable and kind!
Joe and Niko were wonderful. Great experience.
Ray Hilburger is great to work with. This is our second vehicle in a year that we bought from him. He is always kind and does everything he can to make us comfortable. Can’t wait to see what he has for us next year!
Happy with my new Purchase
Amazing service. Personable, I was extremely comfortable will recommend Ray and Niko to everyone!
We just purchased a K5 from Warren Larsen and I couldn't be happier about the experience! Friendly, answered our questions and no pressure!! Check them out and I highly recommend Warren
Very smooth process! From Calvin to Niko to Steve the finance guy. Drove out happy with our new purchase! This is why I keep going back.
We had such a good experience at this location! Warren was wonderful to work with. He was there when we needed him and listened to our needs/wants and did his best to work his majic! We would highly recommend.
Worked with Warren and it was a zero pressure sales approach. Very pleasant to work with would definitely recommend shopping through Kia Palmen Kenosha.
Extremely helpful and quick highly recommended
Great service and very personable Assistant Service Manager. She will be sorely missed and hard to replace.
Service here is thorough and efficient! I like how they keep you updated via text message about the work on your vehicle. Prices are reasonable as well,and usually they will find you any discount that's available
Gene was awesome and made sure I was satisfied
Mario was very nice well recommended loving my new Kia thanks Mario
I bought a car from Ray Hilburger at Palmen Kia. It was a truly enjoyable experience. I started the relationship on text message, moved to phone and then met Ray in person. He was consistently helpful, responsive and reasonable through the entire process. The visit to complete the purchase was efficient with my time, Ray went out of his way to show my wife and I all of the features without rushing and the car was ready and prepared when we arrived. Recommend 5 out of 5!
The service department is awesome. To get our oil changed and tires rotated took 45 minutes. Plus car washed and inside vacuumed. Dash and windows cleaned also. I would recommend them to anyone.
Bought a new K5 from Hans so happy with my purchase and recently just bought a second k5 gt and Warren made it so easy and quick to make sure I got exactly what I wanted… Ps just bought another new Kia from Warren he even gave me free pork rinds
Mostly a great experience thanks to him!
I have done business with Palmen Motors for over 40 years and have always been satisfied with their attention to customer service.
My first time having my car serviced at Palmen. Very good service!
Tom and Warren and the whole Palmen team made everything so easy with our new EV9- best car buying experience we have ever had and will keep going back to Palmen
Great experience purchasing a vehicle! Calvin and Matt are the best!
Incredible experience! Josh was amazing at answering all of my questions and made sure I was able to get the vehicle i wanted to get. If you need a car, the guy for you is at Palmen Kia, just ask for Josh!
Sales expert Mike Moreno did a wonderful job helping with the purchase of my Alfa Romeo! I would recommend him to other people.
Mario Ayala was the best! Very smooth experience from beginning to end! Highly recommend Palmen for any car buying needs!!!!
I bought a Sorento yesterday and the whole process was so smooth and fast, I couldn’t believe it! Ray was SO good to work with and I appreciated all the time he took making sure I knew how to operate everything on the car. Great experience!
The staff was nice got me in and out and explained everything. I would definitely come back and recommend others to come here.
I had a great experience at Palmen of Kenosha with Gene Tellez and the rest of the staff! He was friendly, approachable, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right vehicle. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for, answered all of my questions clearly, and never made me feel pressured. I would highly recommend working with Gene and will definitely be returning to Palmen of Kenosha for future vehicles!
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!

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.

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.

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!

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
