Son went to have radiator repaired. Somehow air-conditioning broke between dropping it off and picking it back up. $1300 for an at most $800 job on the radiator. Air-conditioning repair $1800 after fixing three parts, should have been $1300-$1400 at most. Simon the service manager offered to discount potential till the end of the conversation where he hinted that he would give a future credit for work. Knew how this was going to unfold. They offered two free oil changes instead. Don't tell your customer that dealerships don't want the bad reputation of taking advantage of customers only to pretty much ... Read More

We had a completely positive experience buying our car from Tom Kadlec Kia. There was no heavy pressure to purchase, but we were provided with all the information we needed upfront by Adam. Our sales representative Ahmed Mohamed was friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend them to our friends and family.
Had an appointment for my Sportage because the engine was running a little rough. Danny was my service advisor. He listened to my concerns and made sure I was comfortable while I waited. He was very knowlegeable and was able to answer all of my questions after the service was completed. All of the staff I encountered made sure I was cared for. 10/10 would recommend.
I had an amazing experience purchasing a vehicle from this dealership. The customer service is truly a class act. I want to especially acknowledge Mike Danielson, Dara and Simon. They truly helped guide me through my whole experience with professionalism and genuine concern. Highly recommend this dealership.
I had an outstanding experience purchasing my new Kia Seltos! Ahmed was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure all of my questions were answered without ever making me feel pressured. He made the entire car-buying process enjoyable and stress-free.
Dara did an excellent job with the financing and made the paperwork quick and easy.

I am a happy owner of a new Kia vehicle. Mike Danielson, at Tom Kadlec Dealership, being the number 1 reason. He listened and provided information that was very helpful to me, in making my decision. Best of all, it was fun and pleasant to work with Mike.
Had a good experience with Dara, would give 10 stars if I could
Our Sales rep was Ali, he went above and beyond to make sure our questions were answered. He explained everything through the buying process and helped us out alot with our test drive.
Dara our finance Rep was also amazing. He explained things clearly through the paperwork process and since leaving with our new vehicle has made himself available for any and all questions.

Did a great job repairing damage to my Kia.
Phan Kruoch was awesome.
Josh Odegard provides some of the best customer service I’ve experienced when buying a vehicle.
Unfortunately, I’ve had to purchase three vehicles over the past year—none of them were planned. First, I bought a Ford Edge. Then I leased a Kia, which was later totaled. When I needed another vehicle, I reached back out to Josh, and from the very first interaction, he was just as understanding, patient, and never once made me feel pressured. His priority is making sure you find the vehicle that’s right for you, and he truly puts the customer first.

What a great place to purchase a vehicle . They were kind and thorough. I appreciated Dara Maes and Caleb Wilson so much . Walking through every step of the process with respect and kindness. For a huge company I will say their customer service was impeccable. They made the dreaded car buying experience very easy. Hats off to them Both !
Had a great experience with Jake Trogstad! Came in to look at an Explorer ST. Gave me patience and let me take for a few test drives just to make sure that was something I felt right. Love my new vehicle, make sure to ask for Jake!
Great customer service. Excellent staff!
Hi Im Jonathan Garcia and I bought a 2021 toyota Rav4 about a month ago now and I love it! Whilst I was making decisions to buy the vehicle, the staff were super helpful, kind and friendly with plenty more. As a first time buyer i would definitely return! Also I wanted to mention that the gentleman who first approached us “Ahmed Mohamed” was one of the nicest people I know, he was patient and helped us with every question we had and would go the extra mile for us! Im thankful that he was the person that helped me out!
Quick friendly professional service that was so easy to schedule online.
Reason for giving a 4 star is because I went looking to trade in my 2024 Kia Soul that was in excellent condition and low miles. I had just detailed it so it spotless inside. I wanted something a little bigger. And was very interested in another Kia and only reason I went there.
I had been looking online and was only give the option to look at one vehicle saying that’s all the bank would work with. Was not a Kia at all.

Ali was the one who helped me and he was great! Very kind and helpful in the sense of making the process comfortable, he was adamant on making sure I found the car I love.
We assisted our son with buying a new 2026 Kia K5 from Tom Kadlec Kia. Josh Odegard was a great resource from start to finish - going above and beyond during the full process. Financing was quick and easy. Would definitely return for a future Kia purchase.
Mike Danielson was our salesperson and he was fantastic. Very easy to work with. Had a great experience at this dealership.
Great experience, was fast and easy
Jamie Iverson was wonderful to work with. We are very happy with our vehicle.
Bought a car from them 2 months ago. Issues started happening after a few weeks of having it. Noticed a crack on my rear quarter panel right above my rear driver side window. Took it to get it looked at got told looks like the quarter panel was replaced and did a bad job at repairing it. Next had a misfire in the engine, had to replace the spark plugs almost right away as the plugs were bad. Now i have to replace the driveshaft support bearing costing me even more money fixing my car for only having it 2 months.
First time purchasing a Kia. I appreciated the knowledge and support of everyone i interacted with. Great purchasing experience
Worked with Jake Halstrom for the purchase of my 2027 Kia Telluride. He was very helpful and professional as he guided me through the process. Thanks Jake - good job and love my KIA!
Josie in the service department was kind and professional. Answered all my questions even after I left and the employees at Tom Kadlec made me feel like I was leaving my car in safe hands. Thank you for providing a positive experience. Thanks Josie in service for all your help!
Working with Jaime was a great experience from start to finish. He was professional, honest, and always quick to respond when I had questions. He stayed in communication throughout the process and made sure everything was taken care of. I absolutely love my new Kia Sorento, and Jaime helped make the entire experience exciting instead of stressful. I appreciate his patience, kindness, and excellent customer service. If you’re looking for a salesperson who truly takes care of his customers, I highly recommend Jaime and Tom Kadlec Kia.

Thank you to jake trogstad and adam mccabe for helping with finance and jake for helping find a car that suits my wants and needs. I would highly recommend jake and adam if someone is looking to trade vehicles.
If you want a great experience buying a car get on line , call and then take a drive to Tom Kadlec in Rochester MN. You won’t be disappointed. They are kind, knowledgeable and efficient but they don’t rush or put any pressure on you. It was the best experience in car buying I have ever had.
Josh was very knowledgable, avialable to help answer questions, and I drove away with an amazing car that fits my needs.
Josh Odegard was great to deal with. I highly recommend him.
I want to thank Rich V and the entire staff at TK Kia for the awesome time I had purchasing my new Sportage SW Prestige! Rich was awesome!

We had an excellent, no pressure sales experience recently. Ahmed was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful when we went looking for a new family SUV. We were able to get into a test drive quickly and got to evaluate the model and trim we wanted without pushback.

We had a great experience buying our SUV from Tom Kadlec. We scheduled a test drive because we were coming in late from work and we wanted someone to be ready for us when we got there as we knew what vehicle we were wanting to purchase.

Excellent service and top notch knowledge!
Prior to 2020, I was a loyal Toyota SUV owner. However, due to limited inventory during the pandemic, I purchased a pre-owned Kia Telluride from Tom Cadillac Kia for the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. My experience with both the vehicle and the dealership’s service department has been exceptional. Compared to the Toyota Highlander, the Telluride offers a superior feature set at a lower price. I intend to return to Tom Cadillac Kia for my next vehicle purchase.
Our salesman Josh O. Was very easy to work with, wasn’t pressuring us at all and was more than willing to help us get the best deal possible!!
Everything was positive with our experience at Tom Kadelac KIA especially due to salesman Phan K. making the experience stress free. Your vehicles are awesome and I'm sure you already know that. For us it came down to cost, features, and availability. I'll definitely keep Tom Kadelac KIA in mind when looking for another vehicle again.
Excellent experience. Ahmed Mohamed was our salesman, very polite and knowledgeable. Explained everything about our new vehicle. Received a fair trade in value for our trade in. Ask for Ahmed if looking for a vehicle 👍🏼
Mike Danielson was very professional and knowledgeable. He made the Carnival purchase very easy and pleasant. All other contacts with employees were equally professional and pleasant.
Buying a new 2026 Kia HV Sportage was a simple and respectful transaction. Our sales person, Mike Danielson, was a great listener, an expert about the car, and polite in everyway. Attention to details, patience without pressure, and dutiful follow up, was my car buying experience at Tom Kadlec Kia in Rochester.
I was attempting to purchase a Prius Prime from them. I live in suburban Minneapolis. Requested a one day hold to have a Toyota dealership in Rochester review the car prior to purchase. Was willing to put a down payment down to show my honest intentions.
They would not accept it and sold it to the first in - town customer that did not request an inspection.

Can't get a call back from anyone. I was very interested in a telluride. There internet person just keeps saying someone will call but no call very poor service.
I bought a Jeep Wrangler back in January this year and got to test drive it and checked out several components during my test drive. I was able to check the heating which worked well, however I was unable to check the cooling AC due to the weather outside (it was Winter). I ended up purchasing the car and has been great since. I recently attempted to use the AC, to which I was not told any issues about the pre-owned vehicle after asking my sales rep prior to buying. I recall there were no problems, which satisfied me.

Had an amazing experience with them when looking at and test driving car as well as through the purchasing process! However the treatment after the fact by the service department was very disappointing. After driving over an hour and a half to get serviced, the girl at the desk refused service to me because was 15 minutes late due to traffic. She told me that 45 minutes was not enough time for an oil change and refused to work with me (even when I offered to skip the oil change and just do the inspection).

I recently purchased this vehicle and within weeks of driving it discovered multiple serious issues that should have been identified and addressed before the car was sold. These included an oil filter housing leak, extremely low brake fluid, and paint scratches and swirl marks.
The paint defects became visible after a touchless car wash, which is non-abrasive, raising serious concern that these issues were previously masked or not apparent at the time of purchase.
I drove 1.5 hours to this dealership and ended up sitting there for over 3 hours with three children, with virtually no communication or explanation. My vehicle was ... Read More

Buyer beware – they don’t stand behind the customers or cars over the long term. Bought a new Kia from this dealership in 2017, vehicle has been meticulously maintained and then had a catastrophic timing belt issue that caused all sorts of issues ultimately leading to an expensive repair. We bought the added extended warranty with the vehicle as their salesman and finance manager were quick to promote the peace of mind we were buying, but fast forward to today and they seem even more quick to blame everything on this 3rd party warranty company and not willing to stand behind ...

I traveled over an hour to service my car with Tom Kadlec Kia and have received better service for an oil change than I did for the major repair like I had done.

I thought about this and the experience I had with the dealer group has been less than average. I have alot of negative things to say and its way to long to write so I will give them a zero in overall experience.
Sold me a car in 2021. I’ve spent well over $8k in fixes over the last two years for things that should have been caught on inspection initially. I’m convinced they never inspected this or lied about it. Use extreme caution buying a used vehicle from them.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP!!!!! Please please read the ENTIRE certified pre owned paperwork including the part where they can take as long as they want to fix your vehicle. Families, my recommendation is literally anyone else!!
Have been waiting over 8 weeks for a warranty refund check but can’t get anyone to return phone calls or emails. This is the second time now this has happened so don’t plan on buying there anymore.
not sure how this dealership has such a high rating. sales staff is rude and always on their phones. Called in and spoke with Amy but she couldn't answer any of my questions and seemed preoccupied
Sold me a sportage with no heat and then won’t fix it or return my calls. i think they were trying to ghost me until the 30 day warranty was up. stay away from this place
Would not buy another vehicle from this Dealership, I feel they took advantage of me on a maintenance package.
Had an appointment to see a van only to show up and them tell us that it had sold the day before. No one bothered to email or call to let us know. The salesman was nice but it was very obvious he was annoyed with helping us after we did not want to go out of our budget price range or years of loan. We test drove several cars but didn't end up purchasing anything. While I appreciate him taking the time to show us vehicles it is not a dealership I would recommend.
I’ve been having troubles with them ever since I got my car! Recently they had me come in to replace a light and the light was not ordered like they said, and they took it out of another car and they weren’t gonna tell me until I came up to the desk and ask him what was taking so long.

Went on advertised special and the sales person didn't even try to help just told us to leave. I'm pretty sure that the reason it was an issue when we got there and not over the phone is because they were watching through the windows and saw me take my disabled daughter out of my car.
Two years ago, I bought an Acura TL at Kadlec Kia with just shy of 125k mi on it. These cars, like most Honda products, require a timing belt and water pump replacement every 105k miles, because if the timing belt fails, the only fix is to replace the whole engine. One would think that a larger and reputable dealership would make sure that this maintenance had been handled before listing it for sale. Fast forward two years, and about 26k miles, Kadlec Honda sent me a letter stating that my car was overdue for the timing belt and water ... Read More

Overpriced cars that have bad engines and parts, spent 20k in repairs under a year on a 30k car that was overpriced by 10k. You will pay less at any other dealership and won’t go bankrupt. They lie, the finance person lied multiple times which I have proof and screenshots of but the general manager John overlooked it. I believe the manager John is sanctioning all this behavior because they can’t stay profitable without criminal activity.
Dealer Adds: +$4,500 with no info on what they add besides price. WOW
Don’t waste your time here a vehicle I inquired on a month ago that was at almost 20k with damage it’s the 2018 pacifica look close at pics and when I offered less they nickel and dime me and then boom now they have it at 15,500 what a joke of a dealer funny how at 20k 19k 18k oh we have no more room just no more and then a price drop like this kind of odd def a buy low sell high dealer buyers beware price gouge and rude managers Check elsewhere not worth wasting time here

Good dealership friendly people that work there but when they do their Facebook ads and their offers for people that have not so good credit it's very deceiving. They should just be honest with people and not prey on desperate people who need a car.

I used to have a 5 star review for them, but after recent developments I have decided to change my review. I genuinely wish I could give 0 stars. I traded in a very new vehicle that they priced almost 10k over MSRP. They charge over MSRP for the majority of their vehicles which is wrong.

Talked details of vehicles and prices before driving 3 hrs round trip and taking vacation from work. Only to have the crook sales manager switch numbers and use the salesman as a puppet. Worst experience I've had at a dealer. AVOID THEM!
Service was great just won’t budge on anything. Force you to do the dealer add ons which if you really read into the package it does nothing for you. Forced with the dealer mark up which they say they can’t control and that’s not true I’ve talked to a ton of other dealerships that are not doing dealer mark ups. With the price of everything going up they are truly taking advantage of the situation going on right now by forcing people to pay more for no reason.
