Bailey Boggs was awesome to work with. Great communication and patience as we found a great car! Thank you!

I had some bad hail damage to my vehicle and was tired of it looking dingey. On top of that we were in desperate need of more space for our ever-growing family. My wife and I were hesitant to go into car dealerships from previous experiences. The whole thing has left a bad taste in our mouth but we decided to give it another shot! We decided to go to Oakes Kia and were greeted by Anh on arrival. Anh not only upheld outstanding customer service and professionalism, he helped us find the perfect vehicle for our family. Make sure to ask for Anh at Oakes Kia.

Worked with Dustin in purchasing our new vehicle. He helped make the process seamless and was able to get any answers to questions we had.

I bought an amazing Lexus GX 550 from Oakes Kia yesterday and had a great experience working with Jonah Hale. The entire process was very low pressure, which I really appreciated. He was straightforward, easy to work with, very knowledge, and answered all of my questions. They also gave me a very fair value on my trade-in, which made the deal even easier to move forward with. When it came to financing, the rate they offered was about the same as what I would have gotten if I had gone out and secured financing on my own, which showed they were being competitive and transparent. Overall it was a smooth, professional buying experience. I’d definitely recommend Jonah and the team at Oakes Kia if you’re in the market for a vehicle.

Dom was so easy to work with. Had us in and out the door with our new car in such a short amount of time! Highly recommend

Bailey Boggs was great to work with. Made sure everything was taken care of and that the process would be smooth. Took the time to teach us all the new bells and whistles!

My husband and I just bought a Kia EV6 used with Brian. This was one of the best auto purchasing experiences we have had! Brian was such a great person to work with! He helped us set up all of the stuff ahead of time since we had to drive two hours to get to the dealership. He also knew so much about the vehicle that we were purchasing, including the specific specs about the exact vehicle that we were purchasing and not just information about the EV6 generally. He took the time to sit down to us and talk to us about all the things about the car, but then also during waiting times He was still just such a great host and a great communicator about everything going on with the process. Everything was done so quickly so seamlessly he talked us through everything. He stayed a little bit late just to make sure everything went through before we left. It was seriously the best buying experience we could’ve asked for! We got a great deal! Had a quick and easy experience! And we would recommend!

Blake did a great job helping us trade in and then buy something. Highly recommend

Blake was so easy to work with! I really appreciated his insight & willingness to let us make our decision. Overall great experience at Oakes!

Logan was quick efficient, very courteous and obviously knowledgeable. Very thankful Logan took care of us and got us in the car that we love.

Went to look, ended up with a car. Answered all my questions kindly even though I am really picky and went back and forth. They worked with me on my trade and had a great experience.

Jonah Hale was a pleasure to work with. He was very helpful and knowledgeable!

Get me in a Niro. Blake is the man, especially with caffeine.

Bryan Morales was an amazing sales man He explained everything and he was the nicest. Please visit him

Really good , people are nice .

Taylor was awesome to work with. Use him for all your Kia buying needs

Jonah is very kind and transparent about the car buying process. He’s willing to talk through all your options and isn’t pushy. I would come back to Oakes Kia to purchase another vehicle.

Dustin found the perfect fit for me, the GSM worked hard to get me an amazing approval, and Lorraine was super sweet and easy to work with in Finance! I would strongly recommend to work with this team!

On 3/10/26 my husband & I had an excellent experience w/Oakes KIA in NKC, MO. After one phone conversation, Dashon Adams found the perfect cars for us to test-drive when we came into the store and the first one we tried was THE one: Perfect color, features & price! He was ready for our test drive in minutes, was knowledgable, thoughtful and genuinely seemed interested in helping us make a good choice. He was patient, prompt and accurate with our paperwork. The Manager introduced himself as well as the Insurance Provider and Warranty Writer - all very friendly, welcoming and courteous - but not one of them pushy or over bearing! Such a relief! The folks at Oakes NKC KIA made our experience a pleasure! What a difference from our previous experience with a different dealership. Thanks again, Dashon and thanks to all at Oakes KIA NKC. 10 Stars for your professionalism, courtesy, product knowledge & customer service!!!! Bernadette & Ed Garven

I purchased a vehicle yesterday and I had the BEST experience with Bird and Lorraine. Bird is so knowledgeable and I really appreciate him helping me every step of the way for my very first purchase with a dealership. When I decide to buy another vehicle I hope he’s still there! Lorraine was also very amazing, I was trying to rush my way out of the dealership due to personal reasoning but I’m so glad I stayed and waited because she helped me so much financially! Ask for Bird and Lorraine if you’re purchasing a vehicle at Oakes Kia! I truly wish them the best of the best. They made my experience the greatest!

I took a few test drives with Bailey Boggs and she was very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. I ended up going to Ford because the Expedition had more size than the Telluride and better 4wd than the Carnival but both those vehicles were very nice. But I would be happy to buy from here in the future.

Jonah hale was amazing, he was dealing with two customers at once but still got me out within the hour 10/10 cant wait to drive my stinger

Dom Braswell helped me with a test drive which went well, and he made the purchase process smooth. Thank you for being a great salesman!

We just bought a new Kia today and had a great experience! Working with Blake Reynolds in sales made the whole process run smoothly, and Karen was excellent in the finance department! Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful, and we really appreciate the “no pressure” sales approach

Ahn P. was my sales rep and he patiently worked with me over a period of 2 months and he found me the right car at the right price point and made the purchase process seamless and efficient and easy. I will definitely come.back to Oakes for my next new car.

We worked with Blake, and he made our car buying experience easy, straightforward, and fun!

Logan Gaynor was amazing!! He was so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Took his time explaining all the features on the car and made the conversation feel natural and welcomed. He even offered to pick us up a drink or anything we wanted from Quiktrip when he was filling up the new car. Now that’s top notch service. We had an elevated experience dealing with Logan and will definitely be back to see him in the future! Thanks Logan!!

Dom T. made our purchase quick and easy. He was very knowledgeable about the car and getting everything done quick. He also stayed after the location closed to help us get into the car we wanted.

Logan Gaynor was an amazing sales consultant! Great process, transparency and a kind man! This was my first car purchase on my own and it was a 10/10!

Dom helped me get into my Kia K5 today! He was so kind and helpful in every way possible! I would and will recommend him to everyone I know who is looking for a new/used car! Thanks so much, Dom! You made this girl SO happy today!! Also, Lorraine made the financing part so easy and painless! We all know how frustrating that can be, but she kept a smile on her face and made us laugh more times than I can count! Thank you guys so much!

Very helpful, great customer service and exceeded my expectations!

Had a fantastic car buying experience! Would definitely purchase from Oakes again. If you need a new car go see Gloria Lillich at Oakes, she was amazing!

Nice and cool

Jonah was incredibly helpful throughout my entire car-buying experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed or pressured. He made the process smooth and stress-free, and his positive attitude really stood out. I truly appreciated how attentive and supportive he was, and he played a big part in making the experience a great one. I would highly recommend working with Jonah to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle!

Bird was great! Good car, good convo, good deals

Chelsea Kleoppel and the team were great to work with. Not pushy and down to earth. It was worth crossing the state line into Kansas for this transaction.

Logan was very helpful with my used car purchase and trade-in experience!

Great experience at Oakes Kia purchasing our 5th vehicle from them. Jonah was easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Dustin Hazlett did a great job helping us with our trade in and purchase of our new car. Couldn't ask for me.

Anh Pham was great to work with. Made the process easy and efficient. Never been a fan of the car buying process. I would highly recommend Oakes Kia, and Anh in particular. Lorraine in finance was awesome to work with as well. The entire experience was easy and stress free.

Great experience at Oakes with Blake! He took great care of us from beginning to end. I only wish the finance process was a little faster. Thanks for getting me back in the driver's seat!

Visited Oakes Kia and was greeted by Jonah Hale. He found the car I was looking for and stayed within my budget. The best experience for buying my first vehicle. He was great and I highly recommend visiting Kia and talking with him because he will go out of his way to find you a great vehicle within your budget. Will be coming back for future purchases.

Dominic T great sales person

I've visited Oakes Kia twice now for service, and have had a positive experience both times. I was visiting initially for a recall inspection + oil change and tire rotation. Service was QUICK, and the Service Advisor was very kind and efficient. They ordered the part needed for the recall, completed the other services, and sent me happily on my way. I found the charges for the oil change and tire rotation to be fair and competitive with the market. My second visit was this past week, for the installation of the part for the recall. I was quoted an extremely accurate wait time, and was given a comprehensive list of suggested services due to my Kia's mileage. The Service Advisor (Tim H.) explained these items to me in a way I could understand (not being a car expert or mechanic) AND in a way that was respectful/not condescending -- which has been a rare occurrence for me in my visits with other mechanic shops/dealerships historically. Tim also did not push me to complete or schedule those services immediately in a "sales-y" manner which I appreciated. I will be returning though, to complete those. Unrelated to the Service Advisors/Service Team: The waiting areas (there's two -- a main area with chairs, and then a smaller room that's quieter with a couple tables for people like me who needed to work!) were clean, and I was shown the restrooms, refreshment stations, and given the WiFi password without needing to ask. It's these "small things" that make or break an experience when one needs to be there for several hours.

Chelsea did the most fantastic job helping my son Camden purchase a car, this past weekend. She was patient and perfect. We will definitely be back to do business at Oakes again.

Blake was an awesome help answering all my questions during the purchase process. Great experience at Oakes Kia!

Jonah Hale was great!

Bailey was absolutely incredible to work with!! She truly went above and beyond. She was very efficient, thoughtful and thorough all at the same time. She made our time at the dealership very seamless and as quick as possible. We were very happy with our experience and we absolutely love our new car!

Dominic Taibi was great to work with

Bought new car from Darren and everything was so great!

Jarrod Bolling, service manager on Saturday 2/28/26 went above and beyond to work my car in due to an oil leak for a trip I had planned. Thank you to Jarrod and the service tech that got my car taken care of.

If your looking for a new KIA, go see Blake Reynolds! He Made the entire process easy and quick! All around a great experience!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently purchased a 2025 Kia Sportage from Oakes Kia, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From the moment I walked in, Darren, my salesman, was incredibly helpful and attentive. He took the time to understand my needs and showed me a variety of options until I found the perfect car. The Sportage is equipped with all the bells and whistles I could ask for, making it a dream to drive. Darren’s knowledge and patience made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. I truly felt valued as a customer. If you’re looking for a new car, I highly recommend visiting Oakes Kia and asking for Darren. My experience was a solid 10/10!

Lorraine was beyond helpful as I worked through my trade that took months to for me to decide exactly what I wanted. She was quick with responses and honest in the process. I would search out Lorraine and Oaks Kia if I was in the market anytime soon-hopefully I won’t be!

Blake was great!

Working with Jacob was an amazing experience. He was friendly and cared about getting us in the right car that worked for our safety and budget concerns. Will definitely purchase from Oaks Kia and Jacob again.

Amazing experience with Jacob Robirds!! He helped me get a fantastic car, and made the usually dreaded car dealership experience a 10/10!

Lorraine was an amazing person to work with. She made sure I was getting the best deal and I was grateful to work with her!

Great experience at Oakes Kia! Pham was professional, friendly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He answered all my questions and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience working with Jonah. He felt more like a friend than a salesman. He is personable, easy to work with, and I never felt pressured. He really worked with me to get the deal done and made the trade-in process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate how straightforward and helpful he was throughout everything. Highly recommend!

Blake was great to work with! Really appreciate his time, effort, and personality!
