Customer Testimonials

I came to your dealership to look at a used car and as it was not available at the time was guided to a couple new cars by Ahmed Mohamed. I had no intentions of purchasing a car that day but he gently guided the sale without any pressure felt by me. I will be happy to tell my friends of your dealership. Fritz

Had a great experience purchasing my new Kia Sportage. Jamie was excellent! So helpful, kind and understanding. Thank you Jamie for all of your help!

A great place to buy a car! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you Anthony Velez!!

Favorite dealership in town!!!

I had a fantastic experience working with Ahmed Mohamed at Tom Kadlec Kia! From start to finish, he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Ahmed made the whole car buying process smooth, easy, and stress-free. He answered all my questions, gave me honest advice, and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase. I highly recommend asking for Ahmed if you’re looking to buy a vehicle — you won’t be disappointed!

I had found the car I wanted but it wasn’t even ready yet, still needed to pass state inspections. Mike was very helpful with this process and made it super smooth for my first time buying a car at a dealership!

Thank you, Tom Kadlec KIA, for making my new car purchase so easy! I loved my last KIA for almost 10 years and wanted a new one with all the safety features. Zachary Van Nurden went above and beyond to make the transaction painless. Zach has also helped me learn all the technical features. I highly recommend Tom Kadlec KIA!

I had a wonderful experience with Mike and Adam at Tom Kadlec Kia. They went out of their way to find just the right car for me. I love my Seltos!

We had a great experience buying our new Telluride! Mike Danielson handled all of our requests that we had. I would recommend Kia of Rochester and will use them in the future for our next purchase.

We recently purchased a 2025 Kia Sorento X-Line SX 2.5T AWD and had the pleasure of working with Richard Vitale. Rich was incredibly knowledgeable about the vehicles we looked at and took the time to walk us through every detail and answer any questions we had. He was patient, kind, and along with the rest of the staff, made the entire process simple and stress-free. From the moment we walked in until we drove off in our new car, everything went smoothly. They were not your usual pushy salespeople, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommend!

Was very happy with my sales person Ahmed. He stuck with me thru the test drive and the sales process. Kept in touch afterward to make sure all was going good. The whole process was great.

I came in to look at some lease numbers on a new Kia Seltos looking to get out of a quickly depreciating vehicle. From the test drive to finance I had a great experience! Anthony was very kind and patient during the process giving me all the time I needed to make sure the numbers were going to work for me. Scott in finance was fantastic he explained everything in detail, answered all my questions and it was a very quick process! From start to finish this was a fantastic experience and I’m absolutely in love with my new ... Read More Google - May 5, 2025

Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a friendly and knowledgeable Zach Van Nurden. He was extremely helpful and we lived his upbeat attitude! We even recommended him to my parents, and they also bought a vehicle from him.


Went in looking for an exact trim level / interior / exterior for a new Telluride. Did not have it on the lot. The sales staff did a great job finding the exact vehicle we were looking for and getting it to us to purchase through Tom Kadlec Kia. Overall it was a very good experience with both the Sales Staff (Jamie) and Finance (Adam).

Ahmed was a great help from start to finish. As soon as I walked in the door his bright smile greeted me very welcomingly. I knew what I wanted and he already had the car pulled up and ready. We took it for a test drive, did some negotiating and made a deal! Great experience!

We had been looking for a little bit larger vehicle than the Forester we had been driving. We checked out several vehicles of different brands and decided to check out Kia as well. Having had a good experience with Kadlec Kia in the past, we went back to look what they were offering. The previous salesman was no longer there, but we got a recommendation to talk to Jamie Iverson. Jamie made us feel at home and answered all of our questions. When we made the decision to purchase our Kia, he made the process easy, including the trade in ... Read More Google - Apr 27, 2025

Isaac provided great service!

I recently purchased my 25 Kia Sportage with Rich Vitale @ Tom Kadlec Kia. A great overall experience & easy process! Rich gave great customer service, explained everything, & made the whole process so easy! Thanks Rich!

I had a wonderful experience purchasing my new vehicle from Tom Kadlec Kia. Zachery Van Nurden provided outstanding support throughout the entire process. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to complete my purchase without any issues. I truly appreciate his professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend Zachery and Tom Kadlec Kia to anyone looking for a stress-free car buying experience!

Great sales experience very smooth sale no gimmicks Thanks for your help Ahmed.Kudoos to you.Greatjob.

Have been a multi-car customer of Tom Kadlec Kia because of Mike Danielson. He's always treated us well. Look forward to more years of working with him.

Jamie Iverson was awesome to work with! He was super responsive and answered our questions thoroughly. Unlike other dealerships we visited, we didn’t have to search for someone to help us. Jamie never pressured us to buy and we really appreciated that.

Isaac Cervantes was a pleasure to work with on our purchase. We're a busy family with young kids and Isaac streamlined the process from the first test drive, all the way through to the final purchase. Spending as little time at the dealership as possible was important to us and he helped tremendously. To top it off, he was very knowledgeable and explained all of the features of the vehicle very well. Five stars, would recommend.

Mike Danielson was great to work with. My service experience with Jason while owning my Sedona brought me back to this dealership and Mike understood our needs and helped us find the vehicle that best met our needs.




Had a wonderful experience on purchasing my new kia k5gtline. The salesman ( Zachary van nurden) is extremely knowledgeable on the vehicles they sell and made it a very comfortable sale. The service department also has been very helpful and have done a fantastic job. I highly recommend Tom kadlec in rochester Minnesota!

Zach and the crew at Tom Kadlec Kia were great to work with!! I enjoyed my vehicle buying experience!


I was assisted by saleslady Taylor Smith and finance man Scott who were knowledgeable, friendly and did not high pressure me in any way.

I had car trouble close to Rochester and this dealer took my car, found out I had an extended warranty on it, did the repair and got me a loaner in the meantime. It was amazing! Wish they were in Minneapolis!

Good experience overall, they checked up throughout our weeks looking but we never felt overwhelmed. Taylor was very helpful in sharing information on the models we looked at and setting up test drives. Prices are about average based on the multiple dealers we looked at. Staff was friendly, always offered us coffee, water, etc. while we looked around. This is our first Kia, loved the Tellurides we test drove but wanted to try an EV and are happy in our choice of the EV9. If your looking for a new car I'd recommend stopping in here.

Jamie was very accommodating, helpful, and knowledgeable. I bought the truck for my grandson who loves his truck. We have no problems with it what so ever. We are now looking for another truck and just let Jamie know. Kudos to you Jamie!!!

Shout out to Jamie Iverson at Tom Kadlec Kia. We went in looking to possibly trade our truck. We ended up leaving with a brand new SUV. The best dealership experience ever. They are not like most dealerships, they listen to your wants and needs and do not push you or talk you into something you don't want. They work with you and give you time to discuss your plan before moving forward. Great dealership to work with and a great experience. Would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a vehicle.



I just purchased a KIA Sportage SX Prestige at Tom Kadlec Kia. Alex Mathis did an excellent job finding a Sportage that matched what I was looking for. "Kudos" to Alex!


The guys in the service department always take great care of us and are very knowledgeable. That’s why we’ve purchased another vehicle from them after a great experience after our first!

Probably one of the best dealership experience I’ve had. After my first car accident and losing my old Kia, I dreaded having to look for a car as I didn’t want to deal with dealerships. Found a couple of cars online I wanted to look and Tom Kadlec had one in stock. Alex Mathis greeted my family and I in the parking lot the moment we stepped out and made it assuring this process of searching was comfortable and easy. Didn’t plan on leaving with a car at all that day, but I ended up coming home ... Read More Google - Mar 21, 2025

Wonderful customer service - I am always very happy with my experience!

I've honestly never had a bad experience here with the service department. Super friendly and efficient too. Shout out to Jason (service advisor). He's always helpful and friendly.

Our first experience at Tom Kadlec Kia was a great one! Mike Danielson made this all happen by welcoming us at the door, listening to what we wanted, and found the exactly color we wanted. Mike was up front, personable, and made it all happen.

Great to have such an outstanding automotive business operating right in my neighborhood! With these guys in charge of all major decisions any maintenance / repairs is always well performed, thus giving driving customers the absolute peace of mind needed to get to their destination and back. I love the special camaraderie seen at work as well, their timely-managed appointments, etc. Keep up your excellent work and detailed service, an example for all other firms in our area to follow.

Great customer service! Really easy to work with. Especially our salesman Anthony, he really did everything he could to get us a deal we couldn’t refuse.

We had the pleasure of working with Zach in sales at Kia Rochester, MN when looking at Tellurides. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. He went through the features and was patient with our questions and letting us take the time to make a decision. It was the best experience we have had purchasing a vehicle. I would highly recommend working with Zach.
We were also very happy with the experience we had with Scott Wilson in the Finance area. Everything was explained to us and gone through thoroughly. Thank you to these two for giving us ... Read More Google - Mar 15, 2025

Devlin and the sales staff were great! Answered all my questions. Made my car buying experience smooth and hassle free! Highly recommend!!

I have purchased FOUR vehicles from Tom Kadlec, and I would not be coming back if not for the superlative service and professionalism they display at every visit. So thanks again everyone, and rest assured my 5th purchase will be conducted once again at your excellent establishment.

My sales rep Zach, went over and beyond from beginning to end. I encountered a family emergency and he was more than understanding! He took the time to reach out to me and reassured me there was no rush. He's good at what he does!!!


I had a great experience at Tom Kadlec. Alex was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions with ease and also did not push anything on us, he sold the Telluride just for itself and not in pursuit of any other model or make. Zach made the leasing process very smooth and efficient. Both were so kind and easy going, really made the whole experience pleasant.

I had the pleasure of working with Anthony at Tom Kadlec Kia, and I can honestly say it was one of the best car-buying experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, Anthony was incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive to my needs. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and worked with me to find the perfect vehicle.
What really stood out about Anthony was his honesty and transparency. He provided clear, straightforward information about the car I was interested in, and there was no pressure to make a decision. He made ... Read More Google - Mar 7, 2025

Purchased a 2025 Kia Sportage here. Sales Consultant Isaac Cervantes was amazing to work with! Thank you

I'm consistently impressed with the service at Tom Kadlec Kia. Every oil change has been done within 30 minutes and they've got coffee, snacks, and wifi for me to work while I briefly wait. The fact that they supply a car wash coupon after each oil change is just icing on the cake! With coupons, the oil change price is reasonable as well!

We dealt with Tom Kadlec Kia in Rochester. They were helpful and courteous with us in dealing. Salesman Isaac Cervantes was very helpful. After purchasing our vehicle I returned two weeks later with a list of questions on the operating of it, where to find certain buttons, etc. He took all the time I needed in reviewing the systems.


I recently purchased a 2024 Kia Sportage and experienced a couple hiccups in the process. The Kia Team (Devlyn, Adam & Zach) worked with me immediately to make my experience a very positive one. Thank you for that! Tom Kadlec Kia rates a 5 out of 5 for customer experience!

I wanna thank Sales Anthony and Finance Adam for helping me get the car I was looking at. Greatly appreciate it! Highly would recommend


Easy, comfortable and quick! Mike was a joy to work with!As a first time buyer I felt very confident in understanding the process and what I was signing up for!


Had a great experience at Tom Kadlec Kia thanks to Mike Danielson. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and had a great sense of humor. Made us feel very comfortable and sold us a great car, too!

Loving the vehicle Anthony sold me. Thank you. Very polite people all around

Taylor was wonderful assisting us with our purchase of a Kia Telluride.



I had a great experience leasing a 2025 Soul with Alex at Tom Kadlec Kia. They were able to work within my budget and accommodate my needs. Alex was friendly and knowledgeable and wanted to make sure I had all my questions answered.

The service is top notch!

always courteous, friendly, efficient and helpful front desk staff;

I recently purchased a new vehicle from at Tom Kadlec Kia in Rochster, MN. Mike Danielson helped me find the perfect vehicle, that I love, and he was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Mike for helping you make your next vehicle purchase. Peggy

Visits for service are always great. I am always treated very well. I always feel that I'm getting the best service!

Anthony was the best! He helped us shop various models and then discovered the vehicle we were really looking for! His follow up was thorough, and he made sure all the services we needed were taken care of. Thanks, Anthony!!!

Jamie Iverson and the entire team at Tom Kadlec Kia are wonderful!

The Service Department employees are friendly and helpful. Despite sometimes having issues scheduling an appointment online, once I'm there, my vehicle is usually in and out of the shop quickly. I appreciate the extra efforts I see when the car gets vacuumed, but that can be hit or miss. I suppose that depends on how busy any given day is. Sometimes something small has gotten overlooked but has been remedied without issue. One recommdation is to try to take advantage of coupons or special offers when you find them.

I have gotten 2 vehicles from Tom Kadlec Kia, and it's been a great experience both times. I have been open about what my budget is and what I feel comfortable spending, and they respect that and have found me the best vehicle within my budget each time instead of trying to stretch what I'd be comfortable spending. Having a dealership you trust is important, and I definitely trust the folks down at Tom Kadlec.

Hi. It's Mary Jax. Just bought a new car at Kia. My salesman was awesome. I have never felt so comfortable with a car salesman in my life. He made it so easy. His name is Anthony. If u r out looking 4 a car ,he is your man. Make sure u c him about your next ride. Thank u so much Anthony. We had so much fun that day.

Taylor and the rest of the staff were very accommodating! They were helpful and patient with me the whole time of my visit. They worked with my budget and gave me options on the type of vehicle I wanted. The process did not take long at all. I would definitely recommend.


Have had nothing but a positive experience when bringing my car in for service. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Always explaining the service needs of my car now and in the future.

Had a great experience buying a car here with Jamie Iverson!

Jamie Iverson at Tom Kadlec is a gem, what a nice guy he didn't pressure me and listened to everything I wanted. Thank you Jamie. Sincerely Marcia Bennerotte

From the moment we walked into Kia we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by Anthony Velez-Hames. This wasn’t just any car-buying experience—it felt like we were dealing with family. Anthony went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, never treating us like just another customer but genuinely investing in our needs and preferences.
What really stood out was Anthony's patience and low-pressure approach. We never felt rushed or pushed into a decision. Instead, Anthony took the time to understand what we were looking for and offered expert advice without any upselling tactics. Anthony was incredibly ... Read More Google - Feb 3, 2025
