Testimonials

"My wife & I recently purchased a 2012 Jeep Liberty from Barnett & could not have been happier with the process. Our salesman, Dan Graham, was extremely professional, down to earth and very knowledgeable regarding the vehicles we were interested in. He was patient with us as we narrowed down our choices, never pushy or disrespectful, it was a true pleasure to work with him. Although I cannot rate the jeep yet as it has only been driven 400 miles I can say that I would not hesitate to work with Dan Graham & Barnett again when the time comes to purchase another vehicle, thanks Dan for a great experience!"

"Sales and service, Mike Pinotti gets 10's from me.  He took the time to test drive 2 cars I was deciding upon.  He showed me how to use the new cars controls and gave some good advise. Additionally,  Please forgive but the gentleman who did the financing gets 10's too -he  was knowledgeable  explained everything, he rechecked his work which was great to see, was kind and non-intimidating.  My experience at Barnett was great and I would and will recommend you dealership to others."

"It was time for me to trade my Sebring convertible for a 200 convertible, but I didn't have much confidence in finding what I was looking for in November.  But Barnett had he exact car I was looking for - at the price I was looking for.  Jeramy was the most knowledgeable car salesperson I've ever dealt with - he knows every feature and spec about every model in their lot. I will take advantage of his offer to call him whenever I have a question about the operation of my shiny red convertible."

"Outstanding service.  Jaremy, sales rep, was simply put: Professional!

We had total confidence in what Jaremy was telling us due to what seemed his thorough knowledge of the vehicle.

Also, he put no pressure on us to buy, sell or trade.  I like that in a sales person.  We trusted him.

Thank you again."

"I wanted to say thanks to Rob Lindstrom for his help. He sold me a used Durango and my wife a used town and country in the last 2 weeks. The whole process was about as smooth as can be and Rob was a great help.

Also wanted to thank Leon and Chris for working out great payment options for us. This whole experience was great and we will for sure be referring people to your dealership if they are looking for a new or used car. Thanks Again!"

"I absolutely love my new 2013 Kia Sorento I recently purchased at Barnett Kia!! Pat Hamlin was extremely helpful in helping us pick out our new vehicle and was also very helpful when it came time to pick up the vehicle. Financing was also a breeze. The car we originally ordered was sold by another dealership even though it was promised to me but Pat Hamlin and Barnett Kia went above and beyond get me the vehicle I wanted. The only difference was the color. I originally ordered Dark Cherry but picked out Baltic Blue to replace the car that was sold by the other dealer. In the end though, I think I like the color I bought better than the color I ordered!!

Thanks to all of you- I am looking forward to a very happy and long relationship with Barnett Kia and would definitely recommend you to any of my friends or family that may be looking for a new or used car."

"Just brought the Kia Sorento SX V6.  Traded in our 2010 Ford Edge.  Our sales person, Teresa was great.  Answered all our questions, wasn't pushy, always had a smile :).  If she didn't have the answer, she was very quick in getting it for us.  Both the Manager and Financial person also were very helpful and pleasant to deal with.  Both my wife and I were very satisfied with dealing with her."

"Kia and Guy Aki made the car buying experienced easy and understandable. I bought a Kia Sorento in may and Guy was such a great salesman and helpful I returned back to purchase another car from Kia of White Bear with Guy being my salesman. He was knowledgeable of the car and trust worthy. Any more cars that I buy will be from Kia of White Bear from Guy Aki"

"Your salesman Steve in White Bear was very helpful and very patient. We are getting used to our new car. We love the safety features of our new Kia.  We bought the plain model because we drive so many miles, ( to Arizona and to northern Minnesota). The finance department took care of some problems that arose and everything turned out well.  In reading the manual, I wish they would explain what ESC was used for. Steve helped us out with that. We would recommend a Kia to anyone wanting a good warranty and it looks like a good vehicle."

"Our experience at Barnett Dodge in White Bear Lake was a pleasant one. Sales Rep Jamie Rich was personable and very easy to talk to. When I first visited the dealership, I gave him a idea of what I was looking for and went with me on a test drive. When I sat at his desk for a few minutes to give him some personal information, he basically told me to tell what I wanted and the range of $$ I had in mind and they would do whatever possible to make it happen. I was shopping other dealerships, but Jamie and the people at Barnett came through while the other shops either wouldn't couldn't, or just plain didn't work hard enough to satisfy me and my wife. We will be happy to go back to Barnett when we begin our next search for a vehicle in about 2 years. And we feel confident that Barnett will do what is necessary to make us happy again. Thanks for everything ! ! !"

"I purchased a new Kia Soul Friday, 10/05/2012 from Shawn Eliyahu. It was the most pleasant car buying experience I have ever had.  There was no pressure, Shawn listened to what I wanted and explained very clearly all I needed to know to make an informed decision. The financial officer (I'm sorry - I do not remember his name) helped me very much. I was nervous making this purchase after not having a car payment for 14 years. He helped me relax and feel comfortable making the transaction.  I would recommend this dealership to anyone.  You all do an excellent job! "

"My husband and I bought a Kia Forte from the White Bear showroom.  We worked with Chet and we were happy with the whole experience.   Chet came outside to greet us before we were even 30 feet from the door.   He answered all of our questions very clearly and was very patient with our indecision and he gave us the time to talk privately.  I would seek Chet out  if I were in the market for another vehicle!   All of the other people we dealt with at Barnett Kia were very friendly and helpful."

"Enjoyed working with Kyle Reese to purchase my new Jeep Wrangler, we were able to close the deal by 10:30 in the morning and get the Jeep in from the Menomenie dealer by 3:00pm. He also took the time to go thru the vehicle with me and my wife and he is a Wrangler enthusiast which was cool!  Chris in Finance was great to work with also."
