Customer Testimonials

I really appreciate the time and effort put in to helping me get a great vehicle for the price point that I could work with. Tim Hodde went above and beyond to get us in a good place

Tim and his team worked VERY HARD to get my wife into a car she wanted with the payment she wanted.

Oakes Kia made the process super easy from start to finish. I called to ask about financing, and the person who answered the phone was extremely helpful — they answered all my questions and quickly got me scheduled for a test drive. Shortly after, I received a message from Dashon Adams introducing himself as the person who would be meeting me and my wife, which immediately set our minds at ease. Dashon even went out of his way to send us a personalized video of the car before our appointment, giving us a better feel for it ahead of time. When we showed up for the test drive, my wife — who normally dreads the car buying process — said, “I hate the car buying process.” I told her, “Let’s just see what happens.” Thankfully, Dashon made the experience better than we could have hoped for. He took the time to walk us through the different features between trim levels, explained the cost differences clearly, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. We ended up driving three different cars, and by the end of it, my wife found her perfect fit — a brand new Sportage SX-Prestige Hybrid! After the test drive, we worked with Ramzi Alamawi, the finance manager, who was equally amazing. He made the financing process smooth and stress-free, thoroughly explaining the options and ensuring we felt comfortable with the terms. His professionalism and knowledge really put us at ease, and we never felt overwhelmed or confused. Dashon, Ramzi, and the whole team at Oakes Kia made the entire experience enjoyable, easy, and completely stress-free. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Dashon Adams, Ramzi Alamawi, and Oakes Kia if you’re looking for your next vehicle!

Dom did an excellent job helping us out with our purchase! We really appreciate it!

Great experience working with Theo! We are excited about our new car.

Worked with Matt Boute. Called me in the morning to let me know he saw an opportunity to get me into a new car. I had purchased a 2023 Seltos previously. Very happy with the car, but at the time, I had to settle into a higher interest rate. He knew I wanted a better deal on my next purchase and he worked hard to set a deal I was happy with. Knowledgeable, polite, friendly, personable and highly professional. I drove home a proud happy owner of a new 2025 Seltos. Thank you Matt!

Jonah was super patient with us & so helpful for our new ford explorer purchase!! Definitely recommend!

Marion Martinez was very helpful and knowledgeable about the card on the lot. He's a very good salesman, and was able to guide me through my car hunt perfectly. I ended up with a Porsche cayenne which I love. Thank you Marion Martinez

I really hate buying cars, it always feels like a game and takes 4+ hours. But my experience at Oakws Kia completely changed that. I went in to look at F-150s and Tundras, and Kyle Campbell made the entire process not just painless, but genuinely enjoyable. Kyle was outstanding from start to finish. He was knowledgeable without being pushy, answered every question honestly, and made me feel like I was working with a true partner rather than a typical "salesman." He listened to what I wanted, respected my time, and helped me navigate options without any pressure. It’s rare to find someone in car sales who is this professional, patient, and upfront. If you’re even thinking about a vehicle, I highly recommend asking for Kyle. He’s a true pro who actually makes the experience enjoyable — something I never thought I would say about car shopping. Thanks again, Kyle and Oak Kia, for setting a new standard. I’ll definitely be back!

What a wonderful car buying experience. I was able to negotiate the night previous and come in early the next day. I spent less than an hour in the dealership and am walking away with a beautiful Subaru that my family will love for the long term. Shoutout to Chuck Henn - he’s the best Chucking car dealer I’ve interacted with. Funny, respectful, and willing to fight for a better price. Go to Oaks - ask for Chuck - and you’ll be in luck.

Amazing service from Chuck even stayed later to service us. Would definitely recommend.

Easiest car buying experience! Kevin was not your typical salesman-he gave us all the information up front! We would highly suggest you take your car buying experience here!

Dashon Adams was the sales consultant who assisted me and he was excellent. Everything you want when purchasing a vehicle. He was friendly, informative, patient and helpful. I cannot recommend enough that you ask for him specifically. The other staff who helped me through the process were also very helpful and friendly.

Awesome Service! Recommend Tim Hodde! Very Helpful!

Lorraine was a huge help in finding us our vehicle and answering our questions. She made us feel comfortable, never pushing us into a sale quicker than we were prepared for and spent quality time ensuring we were comfortable before walking out the door.

Awesome service great place to work with.

Jonah was amazing!!

Dashon adams Was very helpful and very nice would recommend

Lacey was super helpful!! Very knowledgeable. I didn't feel pressured at all by her. When i finally purchase my new car I will definitely be comimg back to see Lacey !!

Gage Johnson was great went above and beyond offered the best price around!

Kyle is a great guy and so easy to work with.

I had a fantastic experience buying from Oakes Kia. I had picked out a 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range that I saw online. When I got to the dealership, Gavin, my salesperson, had the car ready for me to test drive right away. The price they gave me at the dealership was exactly what they had told me on the phone when I called beforehand. There were no ticky tack fees that used car dealerships are known for. We signed all the paperwork and were on our way. If you need a Kia or any used car then Gavin is your man!

The best experience ever!! Chip was amazing he really cares about he’s clients I will definitely be back to buy our second car. He made sure I was in and out!! Thank you soo much for your help Chip!!

Logan G was super helpful with our transaction. We were looking for one very specific car and he was able to pull it right up. We had to leave for a bit in the middle of the process and they didn't give us any heartache or make us feel like the car would be gone if we didn't it right NOW. Overall, one of the least stressful experiences buying from a dealership.

Want to give a shout out to my Salesman Blake Reynolds at Oakes Kia, Blake is new to the company and I was his first sale 2022 Kia Sportage yay Blake! It was kind of a long day, but Blake made Sure we were comfortable and made sure we had coffee and cold drinks. Blake I'm sure you will go far and we will recommend you to our friends and family. Thankyou to all the rest of the the staff you were awesome too!

Oakes Kia never disappoints! Travis especially made the car buying process more enjoyable. We appreciated his energy level and thoroughness. It was easy to tell he is knowledgeable and dedicated to catering to his customers!

Recently purchased a used car from 4 hours away. Gavin did a fantastic job of sending me multiple videos and answered all my questions. The dealership made the process very simple as I worked out the deal via text and phone, signed digitally, and they delivered it to me half way at my request. It was a good experience and I would buy from them again.

Great experience with Gage - No nonsense, quick and easy purchase

Lorraine and Del did a fantastic job working with us with our complicated situation and getting us back on the road with everything intact and we couldn't be more grateful

Got my brand new Kia Forte from the man… Steven Carroll! At Oakes Kia today!! Best salesman i have ever had the pleasure of doing business with!!

Everything went smoothly. He was able to get us the best deal he could, and we knew what we would be paying before coming in. The process has been a lot faster than other dealerships.

Worked with Jonah Hale! Great person to work with thank you so much

Lorraine and Del did a fantastic job working with us with our complicated situation and getting us back on the road with everything intact and we couldn't be more grateful

Lyric did a fantastic job from beginning to end! Definitely recommend him!

Lorraine and Del were phenomenal. They worked tirelessly with us with our very difficult situation and found a solution that got out needs. There was never any pressure, no sales pitch, just patience, honesty and humanity. We weren't treated like a sale or a number but like real people with real needs and limitations. If I could give more than five stars I would.

Gavin was awesome

Matt Boutte and Bruce Reeves did a phenomenonal job walking through the process that lead to us purchasing a 2025 KIA Telluride. My wife and I were researching and wrestling with the decision, as we did not "need" to replace our car. Both Matt and Bruce were patient and simply supported us as test drove multiple cars and reviewed multiple packages and colors. When we finally said "yes"! The team at Oakes was expediant and communicated clearly going thru the paperwork. At no time did we feel pressure to purchase extras, and there were no surprise charges added on. We highly recommend Oakes Kia... Matt and Bruce Rock! It was a great experience. Mike & Traci Yoder

2nd time needing a vehicle.this last time i had a real need to buy a car. I lost my first kia in an accident on I 70 while it was a bad rain storm. Lyric from kia has been a great person, after loosing everything and needing a car so i can work. He and his manager help me obtain a vehicle without putting any money, since I didn’t have it. Thank you both of you.

Came to the north kc location to look around. The salesmen Dashon Adams was so helpful and very educational.

Oakes KIA is great. Use Travis, he’ll sort you out. We’ve purchased 2 cars from here - great experience both times.

Steven Carroll was incredible. He was patient, thorough and helped my family and I get into a brand new KIA. I highly recommend working with Steven Carroll. He went above and beyond for us! Thanks so much Steven!

Jonah Hale is an excellent Sales Consultant. He took time to help us find the right vehicle that fits all our needs. Very tentative to detail and easy to work with.

Marion Martinez was a pleasure to work with and worked hard to get me into the car I wanted while getting me a great deal.

Blake Reynolds at Oakes Kia deserves a standing ovation for selling me a 201$ Ford Fusion—yes, you read that right, TWO HUNDRED AND ONE DOLLARS! I half expected him to throw in a free pizza with that deal. Blake’s charm and negotiating skills could probably sell ice to a penguin, but instead, he sold me a car that practically drove itself off the lot for less than my weekly coffee budget. From the moment I walked in, Blake made the whole process feel like a breezy chat with your funniest, most trustworthy friend who just happens to know everything about cars. No pushy tactics, just pure professionalism mixed with a hint of stand-up comedy. Honestly, I’m considering changing careers just so I can learn Blake’s secret selling technique—step one: say “201$,” step two: watch the magic happen. If you want a car, a laugh, and a deal that defies all logic, Blake Reynolds is your guy. Thanks to him, I’m now the proud owner of a Ford Fusion and the proud owner of the best story to tell at every party. Who knew buying a car could be this fun and this cheap? Five stars, zero complaints, and an extra tip for the hilarity!

Kyle was great! Super smooth process, no hiccups at all!

I really dislike having to buy a new car. However, Matt Boutte at Oaks Kia made this experience the best I've ever had! I was greeted at the door by friendly smiling people. I was directed to Matt and again was greeted with a smile and warm hand shake. Matt is the most professional salesman I have ever had contact with. It was a long day and Matt definitely made things great! All the staff is TOP NOTCH! If you need a vehicle, this is the place to go!

Oakes KIA is great. Use Travis, he’ll sort you out. We’ve purchased 2 cars from here - great experience both times.

Lorraine treated me so well, I appreciate the time she spend helping me.

Kevin did a great job helping my family and I get into a slick new van!

I recently sold two cars through Gage, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. He was professional, transparent, and incredibly easy to work with. The entire process was quick and hassle-free — he offered fair prices, handled all the paperwork efficiently, and communicated clearly throughout. I highly recommend Gage to anyone looking to sell their vehicle with confidence and peace of mind. Great guy and great service!

I had a wonderful experience at Oakes Kia! Angel went above and beyond to help my get into my second Kia! I absolutely love it and couldn’t be happier to be in a new car.

I recently purchased a vehicle from Oakes Kia and am extremely happy with the service I received. Kevin was extremely patient in the entire purchase process and helped me go through all my options. If you’re looking for a helpful, patient sales representative… Kevin is amazing at his job. Thank you also to the finance manager for putting a good deal together for buying my trade in and setting up finance.

Fast and friendly. Pick up same day as purchase.

Steven was great! Excellent experience buying a vehicle from him.

Had a wonderful experience purchasing a used vehicle from Oakes Kia. Lorraine did a fantastic job helping me and guiding me through the process. Even after the purchase, she would check in on how everything was going, and really went above and beyond to ensure I was 100% satisfied! Delbert did a wonderful job as well. Super easy to work with and definitely got me a fair value for my trade in!

Blake Reynolds was our salesperson, and he was excellent. Although he’s new, he made sure to get all the answers to our questions and never left us guessing. He went above and beyond—he even made a trip to QT to get us soda and coffee. His dedication and customer service were truly impressive.

Chuck & other staff was GREAT, welcoming and friendly! Upon arrival and seeing interest results, was afraid I was going to have to walk out without a vehicle. They were able to work their magic and get a good deal for me! Answered ALL my questions and helped with my indecisiveness. Thank you!!

Had such a great experience at this dealership. My husband and I worked with the salesman Dom who was very nice, professional, and treated us with kindness. We will absolutely be back if we are ever in the Kansas City area again in the future looking for a vehicle. We also loved Ramsey in finance who just so happened to know my father from years back. He treated us like family and that’s something that is very important to us. Thank you again and blessings to you!

Excellent Lyric

1000% the best man here

Gage Johnston did an amazing job helping us buy our dream car!

It was a pleasant experience dealing with the personal at Oakes Kia and they put enough gas in the vehicle we bought so we could drive 3.5 hours to our home.

Thank you Jonah Hale for great customer service!

Bought a car at Kia in North Kansas City gageJohnson did a wonderful job of getting me a good deal and meeting all my needs

I had such a great experience working with Dashon. He was incredibly friendly, personable, and made the whole process feel super easy and stress-free. I really appreciated how transparent and helpful he was. He listened to what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect fit without any pressure. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. I’m super happy with my new vehicle and would 100% recommend working with him if you want someone who’s honest, easy to talk to, and wants to help you leave with something you love.

I absolutely enjoyed working with Darren! He was very patient and advocated for me. Buying a car is a tough choice and he made the experience go very smoothly.

Kyle was helpful, patient and easy to work with, go see him if you're looking for a new vehicle.

Had a great experience and Dominick Braswell was very helpful through my experience and was willing to work with me.

Lorraine was excellent to work with. She provided great communication and was extremely quick to respond to every question even though I was purchasing remotely from out of the area. I highly recommend Lorraine and Oakes Kia for your next vehicle purchase!

Travis did an excellent job getting us matched up with our perfect KIA. Make sure you ask for him and you won’t be disappointed.

This is the 4th vehicle I have purchased from Oakes KIA. They are so kind and always give me a fair deal. Theo Hart was great to work with. He took time to explain everything to me and help me find the best vehicle and deal for my budget.

Tim was fantastic and I would 100% recommend working with him or this dealership in general. They had a no haggle price structure that, despite my best efforts and research, was the best deal in town on the SUV I ended up purchasing. They also had an awesome financing and warranty guy. I’ll definitely be going back for Preventative maintenance.

Kevin did a terrific job on our test drive and made negotiations and explanations of our new Kia seamless. Ask for Kevin when looking for a Kia at Oakes.

My daughter and I had the best experience with Jonah Hale he is very kind and we will continue to buy cars from him. Thank you Oakes Kia!

Jonah Hale…. Best experience of my life

Great experience with Marion buying our new K4. No better prices in town. We were treated fairly and as quick or as slow as we needed

Logan Gaynor was great. Gave us a great deal on a used car here at Oakes Kia. Highly recommend!

Gage Johnston and the team were easy to work with for a stress free purchase. Thank you!

Very transparent and responsive.

Easiest car buying experience. They did everything through texting and email and made the deal ready for me. I drove from St. Louis and Dealt with Lyric. They had the car clean and even filled up the tank for me. The price was the lowest compared to anyone else. Lyric made a video for me of the car before I came out to make sure it was right for me. Thanks Lyric!

Kyle Campbell and entire team exceeded expectations.

I had an exceptional experience purchasing my car at Oakes Kia, and it was all thanks to my amazing salesperson, Kia Pat! From the moment I walked in, Kia made the entire process smooth, informative, and stress-free. He took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, guiding me toward the perfect vehicle that suited my lifestyle and budget. What stood out the most was how personable and approachable he was. He truly made me feel like a valued customer, not just another sale. I never felt rushed or pressured, and he went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable with every decision. He even offered me some change so I could get a snack from the vending machine! I couldn’t be happier with my new car and the excellent customer care I received. If you’re looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable car-buying experience, I highly recommend reaching out to Kia Pat at Oakes Kia. He’s the best!

Kia Pat is phenomenal!

Came into Kia Oakes nervous to trade in my car but was met with the most nicest and respectful sales consultant, Kyle Campbell. He was extremely attentive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I will definitely be back for all my car purchases.

A++ Lorraine was amazing! She made sure our interest rates and payment were exactly what we asked for! Great staff did another round to detail the car before we left so it sparkled

Lorraine was fantastic and got us to where we wanted to get too and she is great for a newer saleswomen
