I've been a Palmen customer for years and will continue to be loyal to them. Ray always takes the time to make sure I get the best vehicle at the best price and my most recent purchase was no different.
Joe was great! He was so personable and really listened to what I wanted and needed. He made a great deal happen for me!! He was also great with my kiddo and remembered me when I came back in to the dealer. I would recommend him to anyone!
Warren was a great salesman he got everything together for me and I appreciate all that you have done I'm loving my Buick encore and I will recommend you to family and friends thank you again and looking forward to doing business with you down in the future
Outstanding customer service always very helpful and they work with you on vehicle that works for the customer
Ray found the exact car I wanted without having to wait 3-6 months for a special order!
Mario is the best!!!
He is such a great salesman.
Great experience with them as always thanks Tom and the sales team for the smooth transaction!!
Tom was easy to work with made the process enjoyable. Will recommend him to all our friends.
Having made 5 vehicle purchases over the past 28 years we can easily say Mario was the BEST salesman to work with. Friendly, personable and very knowledgeable.
Shawn Haas is wonderful to work with! He made our vehicle purchase such a great one we returned four months later to buy another!!
Ray was excellent to work with. Willing to negotiate and work a good deal. Would highly recommend.
I bought a Kia Optima in February from a different dealership. found out quick it burnt oil had it for 6 months before the check engine light finally came on like I was told before the engine blew. I still owed money on it & was put in a very bad situation. It worked out in my favor thanks to Warren. He sat with me and my mom until he made sure we walked out with a reliable car. He was so personable , and genuine. He got me into a 2024 Kia Forte a reliable car! I would definitely come back and work with him! He was awesome! Thank you so much Warren!
Gracias Mario Ayala por su asesoría y buena atención, muy agradecido con toda la información y la ayuda para concretar el negocio
Mario ayala, un asesor muy amable con dedicación, muchas gracias por su colaboración.
Ray H exceeded my expectations out of the park. He took the time to listen to my request all while I kept an open mind. He took my wants no matter how big or small and my most important ones and brought me my dream car. Thank you Ray for everything.
It was a great experience! Mario, Niko and Ray were a huge help! Will definitely be back.
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!!
Ray was fantastic to work with! Highly recommend
Warren “Wheels” did a great job taking care of us purchasing our first vehicle with him. Thank you Warren!
We had a great experience at Palmen buying a pre-owned vehicle! Mario was a fantastic salesman, very knowledgeable, patient, and not pushy at all. The whole process beginning to end was quick and painless. We would definitely shop here again.
Thanks Tom and Mario Ayala for your help. Best team here at palmen
Great salesmen and service. Mario Ayala was outstanding!! Highly recommend!
If you’re looking to purchase a Kia, or need information on a model, you’ve found the right place! Warren Larsen and Niko Giannakakis provided a great experience when purchasing my new vehicle.
Thanks Mario Ayala! I love my new car!
Warren “wheels” was great to work with. He was extreme knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions quickly and accurately. We are more then happy with our used car purchase.
Ray was great! Buying a car was stressful and he was patient and helpful.
Great experience! I was helped by Tom and Mario and they were both super helpful and informative. Didn’t feel pressured or rushed to buy a car and kept their word on finding the best affordable price.
Thank you to Warren 'Wheels'! You have come through once again and this time helping us through the purchase of our truck! We will be back to see you! You are a personable human being and we trust you! Thanks!
I recently had the pleasure of buying a car from Palmen Kia and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Warren "Wheels" Larsen was absolutely fantastic. Warren made me feel welcome and at ease. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about helping customers find the perfect vehicle. Warren answered all my questions with patience and provided honest, straightforward advice. He's an awesome guy. Thanks to Warren, I’m now driving away in a truck I absolutely love. If you’re looking for a stress-free car-buying experience with someone who truly cares about the customer, Warren is your guy. Highly recommend Palmen Kia and, of course, Warren "Wheels"!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Words can not express the experience we had with Warren!! Without us even telling him the type of cars we like, he picked us out our dream vehicle had a list of musts and all were checked off!! We can’t thank Warren enough for everything and for great company. We’ll definitely be referring more clients to see Warren.
Come see Mario super nice guy best at selling cars and best that’s what he does at his job. I would give him a five stars would recommend all.
Come see Mario for your next car he helped me so much
Gracias Mario por tu ayuda!
This was our first car from Palmen and after many car purchases over the years it was probably our best experience buying a car. Ray had the answers for every question we had about 2 different Kia vehicles. And then when I pulled the switcharu on the wife and started looking at our new Ram 2500. Ray still had all the answers. I also want to thank their finance department who worked with us to get the best deal I believe his name was Barry. THANK YOU SO MUCH we couldn't be more happy with our decision. Looking forward to replacing my wife and daughters car with Ray at Palmen.
Thanks Mario A
Mike and Mario are amazing if you come in and all staff is nice and not all in your face like carmax carmax was the worst and kia Palmer location is by far such a better choice
Bought a new car last week, Warren was my sales rep. He was such a great guy to work with, very patient and a down to earth guy. Thanks for a great experience!
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.
I had a great experience getting my car with Mario at Palmen. See him for your next car when you come to Palmen.
Pregunten por Mario Buena Persona y Muy atento !!!
Danny C and Frankie R were great to work with!
I had a great experience dealing with Shawn Haas in purchasing my new Kia. Great customer service and very easy process.
Danny was great to work with.
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!
Tommy is the best! Professional, friendly and thorough! I will recommend Tommy to all family friends! Thank you again Tommy! I love my new K4!
Palmen Kia Service department is the best. Staff there is friendly and accommodating. They take time to explain the work that needs to be done and show evidence of any problems they find. They use quality parts. I have never had a recurrence of any issues they fix. I have used Palmen for years and plan to continue.
Mike Moreno was very awesome. Found a vehicle that I was looking for. I highly recommend him if anybody’s looking for a car come and see him. He sold me a nice Kia Seltos. He was very kind and patient with me and found the right vehicle for me and my budget again I highly recommend whoever’s looking for a car to ask for this gentleman Mike Moreno. He is very down to earth and family orientated and took care of me and he knows his vehicles and knows what he is talking about. Mike Moreno is the best awesome salesman I ever met by far hands-down..
Oil change was done quickly the only thing I was unsure about is a tire rotation which normally is included with your oil change at other places. Still got charged for that . The man who waited on me was very nice and professional. But my favorite guy still is Shawn he is the guy to go to when you need a car been with him for over 30 years!!
Had a great experience purchasing my new to me car at Palmen Motors. My salesman Gene took great care of me and was very responsive to texts and phone calls when I had questions. I would recommend them 1000%, and will be a return customer when the time comes.
My experience with the service department is 2nd to none, 1st class all the way! Every time I come in for service. I’m greeted immediately, any concerns about my vehicle are addressed, I’m in and out on time and the prices are very fair! I highly recommend them, by far the best!
"Griff" definitely is appreciated a true professional. The staff especially Griff was amazing
Calvin McIlwain was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Kia of Kenosha to all of my family and friends. The team made everything quick and easy, and I was in and out without spending hours at the dealership. It was a great car-buying experience, and I truly appreciate the excellent customer service.
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!
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

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
