Glen Kubota is the best ever! Our 14th vehicle
purchase from him and always the best!! I would never go anywhere else!!
-Eric
Our thanks to salesman Brian Elich. When it
comes to buying a car I am a well informed customer. After deciding on
the car I want I check Craigslist, Autotrader, NADA and Kelly Blue Book
for both trade in value and retail value. This time we drove from
Everett to Monroe to Auburn looking at all similar vehicles. We found a
great car at Lee Johnson but STILL we continued to look at other
dealers. Brian was professional and respectful to let us go continue
our shopping and even gave us some bottled water and washed our trade in
for free. We did find other similar vehicles we liked at other lots, but
sitting down to discuss price was a take-advantage-overpriced-slime-fest. At two dealerships we left after
being pushed past the decency point by "The Closer". Finally we decided
to return to Lee Johnson where we have been treated so kindly. The
transaction was relaxed, simple and financially fair. Many thanks to
you Brian and to the dealership for being
such an unexpected pleasure. It's easy to see how Lee Johnson has
survived 75 years.
-Christian
It was one of the best experience buying my new
2009 Borrego. The most important point is that my, she usually does not
want to participate in negotiation, left the Lee Johnson dealership's
showroom in good mood, even we did not agree on price and did not sigh
the deal the first day. Next day LJ called me and said they found the
vehicle I wanted and tried come up with the price that would be
attractive to me and good for the LJ. They really did. They offer me the
price I could not resist. The bottom line, LJ did the work by themselves
without my participation. The only one criteria they used is my price I
can afford. Thank you all sales people from LJ Kia for really hassle
free process. From now on, I seriously consider this dealership as my
first choice and may prefer Kia to any other Japanese cars I bought
before. Thanks again and have good customers.
-Yury
I wanted to say a BIG thank you to Lee Johnson
Mazda, and especially to Chris in the Service department, for going the
extra mile and helping me out with a power steering pump failure in my
'08 Mazda 3. I can't say enough how grateful I am for Chris's efforts.
This was the first time, since moving to the Eastside, that I've needed
to bring my car into a dealership and can wholeheartedly say that I will
be back should a situation arise. Many, many thanks to Chris for his
outstanding efforts. Best regards
-Paula
I came in last Monday afternoon to look at the
possiblility of buying or leasing a new car. At the dealership I ran
into James Goldman. He was very curtious, helpful and knowleadgable. My
family and I spent some time at a few other dealerships that day looking
at deals and test driving cars. I can genuinly say that James was the
best salesman that we encountered. Not only did he get me a great deal
on my car he stayed way past the closing time just to help us out with
everything. I really apperciated his time and honesty. Thank you I love
my new mazda 3 so much!
-Jana
Chris was very helpful, knowledgeable and
thorough, and made buying a Kia a real treat!!
-Ove & Peggy
I needed a car as the loaner I had had been
called back. So after doing my research and asking co-workers I decided
on a Chevy Aveo. I went in thinking that it was going to be a very
stressful, pushy, and unhappy experience (as that had been my previous
experiences). My "host" was Brian Elich. He was very nice and made me
feel very relaxed, and at ease. He had a great sense of humor, very
professional, and was honest. Overall he was someone I'd be very happy
about recommending him to either friends or family. Needless to say i am
very happy with my pre-loved Aveo 5. Thank you again Brain for a great
experience.
-Ashley
The outstanding customer service we always
receive at the Service Department lead us to purchase our new van at Lee
Johnson. I couldn't have asked for a better car buying experience. Joe
Phillips and Ron Parr were great.
-Charles
My salesman was Brian Walters, and he had the
task of getting me to buy my first brand new car. I was completely and
thoroughly astounded at how simple, straightforward and pressure free
the entire experience was. I got the car I wanted, a Kia Soul, the
color I wanted, the transmission I wanted and I drove the car home 2
hours after arriving at the dealership. And I must also add that Brian
drove over into Seattle and PICKED ME UP and brought me to the
dealership so I wouldn't have a car stranded on the eastside. I wanted
to be able to surprise my wife and with that arrangement it went
beautifully. Brian was pleasant to talk to, courteous, knowledgeable
and, above all, professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian
to a friend or family.
Thanks for the great experience!
-Steven
I had an amazing experience buying my Kia Forte
Koup from Marty Liddell and would gladly do business with him again. He
was down-to-earth, answered all of my questions, and in general made the
car buying process as smooth as I could have hoped.
I've already told friends about how much I love my car and how well I
was treated at Lee Johnson's, and I meant every word of it!
All the best.
-Dave
Had a great experience from Lee Johnson Kia,
and specifically Chris, Kenny, and Don. Being from out of state, the
car-buying process could have been complicated and painful, but these
guys went out of their way to make sure we had all the information we
needed, even going so far as to contact our state's DMV, which was much
appreciated and more than I ever expected.
- Clint
My service today at Lee Johnson Kia was
fabulous!! Pat kept me informed on what was happening and the costs at
all times. I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for a wonderful
experience.
- Sandra
You made purchasing my new Chevy K1500 a real pleasure. Even though
this is my 4th Chevy pick-up in 12 yrs you did not take any short-cuts
assuming I knew about the product. It was reassuring working with a
"professional salesperson" that knows the product, the sales process,
and how to make a customer feel comfortable. Thank you very much
- Dale
I recently bought a new 2011 Kia Sorento from
Lee Johnson Kia. I've bought many cars in my life but this was the
easiest, most relaxed, enjoyable and pleasant car-buy experience I've
ever had.
It was so nice to not have many vulture-like salesmen descending on me
when I got out of my car, just a couple of professionals in the
background giving a person enough breath space and time, but available
immediately at the right time when they're needed . like an excellent
waiter in a top notch restaurant, knowing that it is excellent service,
trust, and the product itself that will result in a sale . not force.
My salesman was Chris Cole. He was very friendly, helpful, patient,
trusting, knowledgeable and professional, and got me in the right
vehicle, at the right price, at the right time. I could not have asked
for better or more.
I enjoy my Sorento, like the free car washes, and look with different
eyes at Kia products and dealerships. Thank you Lee Johnson, Chris and
also the admin people behind the scenes, all of you did an excellent
job. I will definitely recommend you guys to friends and family.
- Ockert
Just purchased a 2010 Aveo from Bill Norcross.
Bill was great and spent a bit of time with me making sure I felt
comfortable with driving a stick shift. Randy was also very nice and
helpful. Hope to use Lee Johnson again in the future!
- Emily
My husband and I bought our 2010 Tahoe from
Bill Norcross. It was an excellent buying experience, everyone was very
helpful and nobody pressured us to do anything we did not want to do
- Mandie
Our first new car buying experience was
wonderful! Thank you to Chris Cole and Kenny at Lee Johnson. We will
keep you in mind for our next vehicle purchase.
- Jeannine
My husband and I service our cars at Lee
Johnson and with the great service we receive it only seemed natural
that we would test drive a 2010 Chevy Equinox at the dealership. Bill
Norcross did an excellent job pointing out the features and letting us
test drive two vehicles in order to compare the features and engines.
Once we determined which version we were after, he went the extra mile
to locate and deliver the vehicle prior to our purchase. This went so
smoothly and Bill still keeps in touch to see that we are happy with the
purchase! We will definitely refer friends to Lee Johnson Chevrolet!!
- Heather
My wife and I ended up buying TWO cars from
Chris Cole - he treated us just the way we wanted - no phony,
high-pressure stuff. A very nice, open, and helpful guy. He worked hard
to try to get us something in the parameters we had set for ourselves
rather than bully us into buying something more expensive (which we did
anyway!)
- Dennis
Good car, Good price, Good experience - Eugene
Potaris is a great salesman.
- Eric
We bought a used car from you and the
experience was excellent. We worked with Josh White and he was
terrific. He was very helpful and fun. I would definitely refer a
friend to Josh and Lee Johnson. Thanks!
- JW Smith
I am a returning customer to Lee Johnson and to
Kia. Third Kia and second from Lee Johnson. I dealt with Chris and
Brian and found both of them to be very polite and helpful. The best
thing about buying a car from Lee Johnson is not having to wade through
a maze of hungry salesmen when you get out of your car to visit the
showroom. I actually had to find a salesman! I love that. Nothing is
more obnoxious than a line of salesmen standing outside the showroom
smoking and JUST WAITING FOR A CUSTOMER. I like being called a "guest"
at Lee Johnson also. I have only had to deal with the service
department once and they were also very friendly and had my car ready
much earlier than expected. There is no reason to go to another
dealership in the Puget Sound area.
Thanks again,
- Barb
We started out looking online for a Cevy
Avalanche and found that in our local area there was nothing that we
liked. So we expanded our search and found the exact vehicle we were
looking for at Lee Johnson Chevolet. Hesitant to just drive the hour
plus to the car lot we started the procedure over the phone and Found
Glenn our sales person was very friendly and helpful. He had completed
the majority of the footwork before we had arrived. He had an estimate
on our trade in and had let us know all abou the the rebate and
different offers available. In doing this we drove to kirkland and found
all we needed to do was basically complete the final paperwork. Along
with the paperwork Lee johnson was able to get us an initial offer of a
good percentage rate. They continued to work with the bank and in a
short time was able to get us an even better rate. I appreciated them
going the extra mile. I have already recommended them to family and
friends.
- Andrea
Brian Walter was great and he was right - the
KIA SOUL is the best car ever! I'm SO happy I bought the Soul and happy
I bought at Lee Johnson. Great Experience.
- Connie
Marty Liddell was the salesman I worked with,
and he was very helpful. Lee Johnson Kia is a good dealer, and I am
looking forward to having a good place for maintenance---and the free
carwashes. I love that.
- Jackie
My wife and I used the Costco program and were
directed to Lee Johnson for our new Mazda 3. James was courteous and
helpful; he was very knowledgeable about the car as well. All in all, a
pleasant car-buying experience.
- Steve
Justin and I bought our first car from Lee
Johnson Chevrolet, from Chris and I could not have imagined a better
experience. He was very un-biased about what cars we were looking at and
he was not a high pressure salesman, which we greatly appreciated. He
got us into a perfect car, which fits all of our needs, all the while
providing us with fabulous customer service and knowledge about our
vehicle. Chris will definitely always be our 'car guy'. Thanks Chris!
- Jamie
We were well treated and were not rushed into
anything. They were able to work with our requests and we'd definitely
recommend them to friends and family. We both enjoy our new 2010 Kia
Soul.
- Wiley & Molly
Fun, low pressure, easy, pleasant, and even
familial when I took my 4 year old with me to pick up something I'd
forgotten in the old car. The salesman (Bill) spent relaxed post-sale
time with us showing my son the 'vettes.
- Dennis
I recently purchased a car form Lee Johnson
Mazda in Kirkland and I'm really satisfied with the whole buying
experience. Eugene was very courteous and he work hard to find the right
car that meets our expectation, and to put the right deal together.
- Gabriel
I believe I had the best salesman @ Kia help me
with a used car sale. Very personable, helpful and enjoyable. Chris
Cole...You Rock! Thanks so much...
- Peggy
In my entire life having bought cars, new or
used, this was the most enjoyable, pleasant experience. Ron you were so
helpful and honest. Thank you.
- Jodi
I recently purchased a car form Josh White. He
was very courteous and knowledgeable about the care I was interested in.
He answered all my questions with patience and kindness and put no
pressure on me at all. I'm going to tell all my family and friends about
Josh White and Lee Johnson. I love my new car, Josh Rocks!
- Denise
Recently bought a new vehicle at LJ's, and have
nothing but high regards for the staff that helped me with the
purchase. In particular, Ron Paar, Kenny, and Todd.
- William
This was my first purchase from a Lee Johnson
dealership and it was definitely the best car buying experience I've
ever had. Josh was great and he answered all my questions ensuring me I
was making the right purchase. I will definitely recommend any one
looking for car to visit Lee Johnson first.
- Joey
FOR OVER TEN YEARS, MR LYONS AND THE SERVICE DEPT. HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN ME FIRST CLASS SERVICE. THANKS.
- Larry
We just bought car number 3 from Lee Johnson in
Kirkland! We love our cars, and have always had a pleasant experience
whether it be buying a new car, buying a used car, trading in that used
car for another new car, getting an oil change or a service rental or
using the car wash- always an easy and pleasant experience! Brian has
been very helpful and attentive as have all the employees we have
encountered over the years. If it cones time for number 4, we know where
we'll go!
- Juliet and Matthew
Great service as usual. Service people greet
you in a friendly manner and quick to find out the problem one is
experiencing. The rental car people are also great and will put you
into a car that you desire if possible. My car always comes back washed
and vacuumed.
- George
We were looking for a new family car and
visited Lee Johnson Kia. We found Brian Walter at Lee Johnson to be very
courteous and helpful. He worked with us to find the right car that
meets our needs. Overall we were very happy with the service provided by
Lee Johnson.
- Farooq
I've been taking my Kia in for service at Lee
Johnson for years, and value the trust I have with Sara and the
department. So when it came to trade-in time, I didn't think of going
anywhere else. Ron Paar made the entire process as smooth as possible,
and I'm driving the exact car I've been dreaming about now. Truly a
team that works for the customer.
- Teresa
I was very pleased with the sales team at Lee
Johnson Chevrolet. Bill took the time to evaluate my needs and got me
in the perfect truck for me. I'm very happy with my purchase and will
recommend my friends to Lee Johnson for their future purchases and
service.
- Robert
We would like to commend the sales staff at Lee
Johnson Auto in Kirkland. We drove from the Olympia area to shop and
were very impressed with the professionalism of our salesperson Eugene
Potaris. We had a pleasant experience and would highly recommend the
dealership to our friends and family. You won't find a better deal or a
more friendly group anywhere, believe me, we shopped around the Puget
Sound area.
- Jim
I had the easiest and most pleasant car buying
experience I have every had. Marty was a joy to work with. I will
make sure to let people know. Thanks
- Tyler
I just moved out here from the Midwest and was
looking to buy a new car. After looking at many dealerships, I never
found a car that fit me. After a long, exhaustive search, I walked into
the LJ Kia dealership, and met Brian W. Within 2 minutes, I knew I could
buy a car from this dealership because of the professionalism I
encountered. I quickly found a car I loved, and Brian made the buying
process easy and painless. I am a very satisfied customer, and would
highly recommend checking out the cars Lee Johnson has to offer.
- Colleen
I hated car sales people! That is until I went
to Lee Johnson in Kirkland. Never have I experienced such service and
dedication from an auto dealership. Ron Paar made my purchase quick and
easy. I will definitely be recommending Lee Johnson of Kirkland to all
my friends and family. Love my 09 Kia Rio!
- Alan
We just purchased a Mazda 3 from Lee Johnson
(our 3rd car we've purchased from them in the last 10 years) and it
could not have been a better experience. We worked with James this
time, and he was impressive with his knowledge of the cars and his
excellent customer service. Last time we worked with Dave, who worked
very hard to find us the car we wanted. They both deserve kudos for
their customer-oriented service.
- Susan
The buying experience at Lee Johnson Kia and
with Kenny and Brian in particular, was professional, straightforward
and seamless. The entire team lived up to the reputation that Lee
Johnson, Senior build for the company many years ago. I had the fortune
to work with Lee years ago and it great to see that his legacy lives on.
- Robert
Buying my Miata was a very pleasant experience
and the whole process was fast and no hassle.I would purchase here
again....
- Paul
Lee Johnson was a great experience. James
Goldman was professional and helpful in finding me a great Mazda 3. I
love my car and am very satisfied with my purchase.
- Nick
That's a 2nd car that we bought through Lee
Johnson dealership. This time I worked with Jeff at Lee Johnson Mazda to
buy a Mazda 6. The process was hassle-free, easy to deal with,
everything was negotiable and everyone was willing to work with me to
meet my needs. I need to admit that they worked hard to put the right
deal together. I would highly recommend both Lee Johnson and Jeff for
helping me get into a car I really wanted.
- Galina
From the moment we walked on the lot we had a
great experience. Josh White listened to us, didn't pressure us, but
really hustled to take care of us.
Josh and the handful of others he introduced us to were real pros. And
they gave us an excellent deal on a new Kia.
We're very happy with the quality of our new car and with our experience
at Lee Johnson.
- Michael
Hi Randy,
Thank you for the follow up. In my 25 years buying cars, this was the simplest and most pleasant experience I've ever had buying a vehicle. I worked with Tom, Kenny and finally John. Everyone was professional and helpful, everyone was the opposite of the stereotypical "car salesman." I will definitely return to Lee Johnson Chevrolet and have already shared my positive experience with several people.
I have already received my card for the car wash service and Tom is supposed to follow up with me regarding the GM Business Choice program. I was truly surprised and impressed with Lee Johnson Chevrolet.
- Doug
I enjoyed dealing with Josh White in my recent
purchase of a Corvette. I was impressed with Josh and his general
knowledge of the car, and his "no nonsense" approach in sales that I
could appreciate. I am also old enough to know when I am getting an
honest deal or not, and in this case I was. I was equally impressed
with Randy of the finance department, who would not quit until he found
me the best interest rate.
I would rate the idividuals I dealt with as very professional and would
recommend Lee Johnson to my friends.
- Jim
I worked with James at Lee Johnson Mazda to
lease a CX9. The process was easy and they worked hard to put the right
deal together. I would highly recommend bothe Lee Johnson and James.
- Tom
It was a pleasure working a car deal with Brian
Walters. In fact we are looking to go back and work another deal with
him. The dealership in Kirkland,wa was professional and helpful. We are
very happy about our purchase.
- Chad
I was in today for service covered under my
warranty customer service representative Joe was a pleasure to interact
with and a credit to your organization. Great customer service ... great
sense of humor.
- Brett
I am impressed! Both with Lee Johnson
Chevrolet, and especially Service Advisor, Tyson Thompson.
I recently had a transmission issue on my company 2007 Chevy Avalanche.
Although my first time through the doors at Lee Johnson, I was treated
as a long time valued customer.
Tyson, worked hard to assure that I was taken care of in every way. I
received daily updates on the status of my vehicle, and repairs were
completed very quickly.
Thank you!
- Mike R
I would give the lee johnson chevrolet people a
5 out of 5 for the quick process, politeness and ect.
I would give our sales person (Bill) a 5+ for his help VIA phone, lack
of pressure and push, putting up with my bad jokes and treating my wife
with respect. Bill and the rest made it a great moment, relaxed, fast
and we would contact bill and lee chevrolet again for another
car.....hopefully a new 2500 silverado next year or so......take
care.....hope this note finds that all is well with you and
yours.
- Larry and Ginny
We had a great buying experience through Lee
Johnson Kia (dealer Brian Walter). We had done a lot of research,
visited several dealerships, including 3 KIA dealerships in the state
and had the best service at Lee Johnson in Kirkland. They were the only
dealership that actually searched for a vehicle that matched our
requests, and provided continuous follow up, even after our purchase to
make sure we are completely satisfied. I would highly recommend this
dealership to anyone, and would purchase another car from them when the
time comes!
- Tiffany
Hi Don,
I've been to various dealers including Nissan of the East, Honda of Bellevue and Ford and I can proudly announce that you are by far the best sales manager that I've came across. I am impressed with your patience and excellent customer service that you have provided to me and my wife. I am sure that I will be looking for 2nd car in the near future and I will not hesitate to seek your advice again.
Regards
- Leonard
Thank you Randy, you guys are AWESOME! I love my new Equinox. You and Tom did it for me. No doubt, I am 101% satisfied.
Thanks
- Claire
My son and I worked with Ron Paar and could not
have been more satisfied. Thank you again Ron for making this
experience so wonderful.
- Judy Kewley
We worked with Glenn Kobata & Kenny Jakel, and
they both provided us with outstanding service and we were 100%
satisified.
