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.

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.

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
Posted on Google by TB
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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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!
Posted on Google by Kristy Greinke
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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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!

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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!

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!
