Kia of Mankato sold me their last new car, Niro EV EX, at an amazingly low price, given current market conditions, nobody has any stock. I got the price I wanted and they offered all the dealer extras, but didn't press me to take them.
Just bought my fourth car from Kyle. Always so energetic and always to the point. When u go into Kia of Mankato they understand you and what you need. They never try to upsell anything or try to pressure. They get the deal done and done to you needs not their needs.

We weren't really looking to buy but stopped in at Kia of Mankato and talk with Kyle Lindblom and he steered us toward something that we really wanted and gave us a good offer and even played some beautiful Journey music for us while we thought about the purchase.
oil change and car wash and tire rotation everything was fantastic.
When ever i have the need to go into kia for service to my vehicle, I always feel welcome, and i feel confident that everything will be taken care of right. I am updated on the progress of the service and am informed on any issues that need to be addressed.
I was in and out in a little under 2 hours. The BEST car buying experience I have ever had! From browsing online, to scheduling an appointment, to a sales rep following up right away, and greeting me as I arrived. Nick got all the details and features I was interested in and brought around a vehicle for me to test drive which coincidentally happened to be the exact one I had been eyeing online. The KIA team went above and beyond to accommodate both me and my kids and were so friendly and helpful. We cant wait to go back ...
Thanks Kia and Jake for making the buying of my 2019 Sportage as quick and painless as you did. This was my second car purchase from you guys and again I wasn't disappointed.
Friendly staff, comfortable and covid-safe surroundings, swift transaction time. Would definitely rfeturn for anolther KIA> This is our 2nd.
Had our 2019 sportage serviced last week, again the dealership over preformed, they even cleaned out the inside. Great dealership, which is why we just got another sportage from them.
I was treated like a valued customer. I appeared 1/2 hour early and the service manager actually serviced my car early while I waited for my car.
Everyone was very kind and helpful. I was kept informed and instructed well on my vehicle. It didn't take as long as I expected to buy a car which was nice.
I truly appreciate the review of work prior, the call on what needs done additionally with price and the ratings of future work and pricing. No Surprises! Totally upfront. *****
Tyler was a great saleman. Explained everything in easy to understand lingo. He was very pleasant and helpful and had a good sense of humor. I would recommend him to a friend.

A very good experience!! They gave me what I wanted for my trade so I bought a new car there!
Awesome experience very helpful and made purchase easy
Have had new tires put on my Kia Sedona, and also twice had bulbs replaced. In all cases the price was less than I anticipated and the service was fast and user friendly ( a difficult thing now with the pandemic). I would recommend them to anybody, and since my Sedona has 360,000 miles and runs great, if I am shopping for a new car I will certainly check them out first.
Great job by Hunter. Liked the way he took care of everything.
The staff was very friendly and willing to answer any questions that I had. When test driving, the salesman listened to my needs and concerns about the vehicle. He did a great job making me understand all of the financing opportunities that were available.
kia of mankato has for the last 6 years since I bought my 2014 optima hybrid lx has treated me like royalty every time I have come in. even when a mistake has been made I have never seen a company more willing to own up to that mistake and correct it immediiately. That is why my wife and I also leased a 2015 optima lx for 3 years, that was my wifes carand we bought it off the lease and she traded it for a 2018 elantra gt, it is her dream car absolutely loves it. Soon I will be looking at the hot ...
Friendly people. Warm welcome. Informed me of what was happening.
I was very pleased at how they kept me in the loop of what was going on and how they were doing it
Kyle has always done good and all the folks at MKTO KIA.
I saved a lot of money using this dealer for my Kia Soul
Kia of Mankato has the best customer service and staff. They are friendly and knowledgeable and make you feel at home. They answer questions and keep checking in with you. I have not had a bad experience with anyone that works there.
I have referred many people to this dealer who have bought vehicles.
The staff is competent and very attentive to the customers' needs. Service was provided as promised and on time. Transportation was provided to and from the dealership and they adjusted to my schedule.
NATE was so amazing. So friendly, super joking and made us feel very welcomed. Nates customers services was amazing and he got us approved when I thought we were not gonna be. Thank u so much to Hyundai of mankato. You guys rock.
I was looking to get a car back in April I believe and I really wanted to get a Jeep. The furst dealer i went to said I would need someone to cosign but i kept looking and a friend told me to go to Kia of Mankato. So I went in just to test drive a Jeep Compass and my sales guy Kyle Lindblom was very nice and got everything all ready for me. I even got to finance it on mh own! I would highly recommend seeing Kyle if you are in the market.
Had a great experience at KIA of Mankato. Wasn’t expecting to buy that day but had good offers, nice variety of styles, pricing and color selection of vehicles. Salesman was not pushy. Asked what I wanted in a vehicle and had it and took it home. Best decision I’ve made on vehicles. Drives very smooth and gas mileage is impressive with AWD.
McKenzie Reynolds was a great sales woman. She exceeded our expectations to find the right car before my husband and I are expecting our new baby. She was so sweet and showed that she actually did want to help us. She wasn’t pushy like most sales people are and showed she was very knowledgeable about the vehicles y’all had in stock. We will definitely be back to see her when we shop next.
Great sales and service! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great selection of quality cars! Love all their flexible payment options. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kia of Mankato!
Super friendly staff. Very clean and bright dealership. No pressure and very knowledgeable sales staff. They were very patient and made sure I understood everything. We will definitely buy our next car there again. I recommend them to everyone I know and will continue doing so. Thank you Josh K and all of his coworkers!
McKenzie and Jake, 40.1 miles to the Gallon. You didn't tell me it was going to be THIS GREAT. I wish I was skilled enough to send photo proof. The savings in my Wallet will have to be proof enough. Thank you, lizette
Amazing.....would definitely recommend to anyone! All questions answered and very helpful to a novice like myself purchasing a car ?? Would visit there again definitely!!
I was looking for a vehicle with specific things in mind and the person helping me wrote everything down and then made suggestions on what to look at and test drive. I drove the Sportage and found it to be a smooth ride with the power I wanted and was very comfortable. I fell in love with this vehicle and the hardest part of the whole day was picking a color. I looked at all the different colors in the parking lot. It made my choice easier to see them all side by side. I chose the Pacific Blue and ...
From the moment I drove into the lot a young man greeted me, like most dealerships. This person asked what I was looking for and gave me some ideas and was friendly and easy to talk to because I wasn't being pressured. Inside I looked at some vehicles and chose the KIa Sportage. I took a test drive and I found it to be a very smooth and comfortable ride. The person helping me was very knowledgeable about all the features this vehicle had to offer. Actually the hardest part for me was choosing a color that I liked ...
Great place to do business! Kyle is the best sales guy I have come across. Will definitely be back and recommend to all of my friends and family!
Great experience in purchasing a new car. It was an easygoing experience as well. I was attracted by the longterm warranties provided by the company. A 20/200,000 mile powertrain warranty sounds like a good deal.
The staff at Kia of Mankato was a joy to work with! Justin, Matt and Josh worked hard to get my husband and I into a Sportage. We were very pleased and we love our new ride! Thanks Justin!
Let me start by saying I wanted the world for nothing. Josh, one of the sales team, met me at the door. We discussed what I was looking for, budget, etc. He was pushy, as I would expect a salesman to be, but not too pushy! (Sorry Josh!). I wish he could've done a better job hitting the lower end of my budget, but he did a xxxx fine job getting me in a vehicle I'm happy with (disclaimer: I've only had the vehicle a week) Overall, I had a good experience and will definitely consider this ...
I can't say enough about my salesman, Kyle Lindblom. He helped me find my Kia Sorento that fit my families needs. This is my 2nd Kia purchased and look forward to working with him again in the future!
This was my first time at Kia of Mankato & this is the only dealership that I will be using for my transportation needs, phenomenal customer service & smooth transactions!
We have recently got a 2015 Optima from here and we got a 2010 Sedona from here a couple of years ago as well. The customer service is the best we have ever come across. We were looking when we got our van and Kia was the only place that we got the friendly and energetic customer care that we were looking for. They go above and beyond to help you out. We have dealt with other dealers before this and always have had major issues with the cars we have gotten. We have had the van for almost 3 years now and ...
My husband and I recently bought a Kia Optima from Mankato Kia. We were extremely impressed with the professionalism but laid back demeanor at Kia. We never once felt pressured or 'tricked'. Everything that was said from the get go was honest and upfront. We worked with Justin Diaz directly and he was more than accommodating and he was working for US. Very happy and will go back. Ragy was also excellent to work with.
I was more than happy with the service at Kia! This was my first time buying a car and Justin made the process easy and I felt very informed when I left the dealership with my new car! Thanks!
I typically hate looking at cars but Justin was super fun & friendly. He took a lot of time to make sure I got the best deal both for my car and my insurance, went over all my features and made sure I was totally comfortable with everything before I left.
I loved working with Kyle!!! He was very kind and patient with me. He took me too look at a forte!! I fell in love with my new car. After all the paper work was done he took the time to go over ALL the new features. I will always come back to kia but only of I get to work with kyle
Justin was super helpful and friendly and a lot of fun to work with. Great experience. He totally made the drive to Mankato worth it.
Justin was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He worked hard to find the best fit for me and I sincerely could not be more pleased with how everything went. I highly recommend him and Kia of Mankato!
Kyle was a great, happy, and up beat guy that kept the experience cool and calm. Very nice new building they are in. Went in a little blind on what we were doing but Kyle made it and we made through it all painless. Thanks to Kyle!!!!
I recently purchased a new Hybrid Kia Optima from Kia of Mankato, and I couldn't be more pleased with the overall experience. Justin and Jake were a huge help when deciding which vehicle best suited my needs. A huge thank you to both Justin and Jake!
He is did an awesome job. Had my thoughts and desires in mind throughout. I will recommend him to others. Thank you so much for all the hard work today and thank you.
I went to KIA of Mankato and was astonished by the warmth of the whole staff. I was greeted by Angella, the receptionist with a friendly smile. She told Kyle I was there and invited my fiance and me to sit a moment while Kyle came to the front. Having talked wet l with Kyle on the phone, he found out my wants, needs, and budget qualifications. He invited me to fill out the credit application prior to coming down to Mankato as to save time. We went to two different vehicles and he let me do a lot of ...
Kyle, at Kia of Mankato, was such a joy to work with! He listened to my needs and concerns, and did everything he could to get me the best car for the best price! I was on my own and had no idea what I was doing, but he patiently walkes me through everything. A+++
Wonderful and friendly customer service. They listened to what I was looking for and we're very helpful. They were very efficient and walked me through my whole experience.
Enjoyed doing business with kia of Mankato. We live in owatonna mn and drove to kia of Mankato in search of a vehicle on the recommendation of a friend who also purchased from them. Staff was friendly and inviting. I have never had such a pleasant car shopping experience. They took our situation into consideration and got me into a nice vehicle at a payment I could afford. Thank you kia of Mankato. We will definitely be a return customer
They were very helpful and found exactly what we wanted. We are very happy with our new purchase. Will do business with Kia again. Everything went really well.
I purchased a Kia Soul in Mankato. I was so pleased with my experience at Kia. I couldn't of been happier. I had an amazing salesman Josh (the skydiver) who took the time to help me with exactly what I wanted.Answered all my questions to perfection. Was not hurrying or pushy at all.Took the time to show me everything and program everything for me. I couldn't be happier with my experience at Kia. I definitely highly recommend going there.
I had the best experience purchasing my new Kia Optima! Friendly Staff who went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I was looking for. Would recommend in a heart beat.
Went in looking to buy a new car because my old one blew up. Had a little money for possible down payment in case I found the one I wanted and with help from Kyle, ended up getting the Kia Soul and everything I wanted in it. He was so helpful and friendly and I have now had the car for over two years. Besides minimum, basic upkeep like oil change and such( which is expected with any car) have had no issues. Not to mention, they send an e-mail or call to remind me when its time for an ...
I had a suprisingly wonderful experience buying my new car from kia. My sales associate Kelly was amazingly helpful, including driving my old car home for me so I didn't have to make arrangements to get it home.! If you are looking for a different kind of car dealership 19th no hassle and no presure sales give Kelly Barnard at kia a call!
We purchased a 2013 Kia Optima on 1/26/15 and had a great experience!! We worked with Salesperson Taylor Braith and Danielle in the finance department. While I have never been of fan of sitting down and going over finances and qualifications 1st I totally understand the process now. They want to see what you are qualified for so you don't get your heart set on something you won't be able to purchase. Which I guess everyone can appreciate. The car is awesome and has tons of extra features too. After our purchase was complete Taylor took the time to come ...
I didn't realize buying a vehicle from a dealership could be so exciting. Bryan really made it easy for me and is a fun guy. Will totally recommend him in the future!!
Good friendly people to work with. August was very upfront with everything we asked. Asked us what we wanted in our car then went and got it so we didn't have to look at several different vehicles. Really narrowed it down for us. No pressure at all. Would recommend him to anyone. Knows his job very well. Oh and we brought our car back for the undercoating and they gave us a brand new kia for a loaner car!!!!
Kyle was our sales rep and he was great at being patient with us until we found the car that fit all of our needs. After we found the car, him and Cameron went above and beyond to make sure that everything went through perfect!! I will always recommend them at Kia!!
Very friendly place. Kyle lindblom helped me get a van for my kids and I since my other van was breaking down. He didn't give up till I found something that I loved. He's a great person and a benefit to your staff. Thanks to him and his brother my family is very happy.
My husband and I had a great experience purchasing my new Kia Soul. Kyle was a great help with the whole process. If you're looking to purchase a vehicle go to Kia of Mankato they are very knowledgable and a great bunch of people there!! ----Jon & Cathy 🙂
The experience was awesome. Kyle helped get me into the pickup I have been wanting for some time. He was helpful, friendly, and answered all my questions. They got me a truck I wanted at a price I could afford. The best part of the experence outside of the new vehicle was he gave my 18 month daughter a stuffed Fox toy. Thank you for all the help and patience.
