OLATHE, KS – Oakes Auto Group has officially acquired Robert Brodgen Olathe Kia, now operating as Oakes Kia of Olathe at 130 N. Fir Street.
Founded in 2010, Oakes Auto has steadily expanded across Kansas City with Oakes Kia in North Kansas City, MO, and Oakes GMC in Kansas City, MO. The new Olathe location marks another milestone in its growth.
"Kia continues to impress with its innovative lineup while maintaining fantastic value," said Dan Oakes, President of Oakes Auto Group. "Our entry into Olathe allows us to better serve Kia customers across the metro. For me, this feels full-circle - I started Oakes Auto in the back of a used car lot on Rogers Road, and now we're back in the heart of Olathe, ready to deliver the experience our customers deserve. Johnson County has always been important to us, and we're excited to call it home again."
The Oakes team plans to grow inventory and enhance the buying experience through its Oakes Advantage program, emphasizing transparency and service excellence.
"Kia is one of the most exciting brands in the industry right now, and our expanded presence in Olathe means even more customers will experience the Oakes difference," Oakes added. "Our mission is to build lasting relationships through trust, transparency, and service excellence. Whether you're looking for a new Kia or GMC, or a quality pre-owned vehicle from any brand, we're committed to providing exceptional value and a great experience. We also understand affordability is top of mind for many buyers today, and we're proud to offer some of the most competitive options in both new and used vehicles."
