The ALL-NEW Tom Kadlec Kia Dealership in Rochester, Minnesota has officially opened!

Rochester, MN – Tom Kadlec Automotive has officially opened a brand-new Kia dealership in Rochester, Minnesota, located at 3101 Wilder Road NW. The new Kia showroom and service center has the latest Kia global design standards, representing the continued growth of the Kia brand in Southeast Minnesota.

The new location spans nearly seven acres, with space to accommodate over 500 vehicles on the lot. The dealership showcases Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy, with a bold black exterior band highlighting the Kia logo, contrasted by sweeping views into the showroom and customer lounge. A diagonally inspired exterior creates a dynamic look, drawing attention to the Kia vehicles on display.

The new building measures approximately 33,000 square feet, with nearly 80% of the facade made of glass to let in abundant natural light. Customers have access to both private and semi-private sales consultation rooms, as well as a spacious customer lounge featuring a plug-in bar, a hospitality wall with refreshments, and a large video display screen for entertainment.

The Kia service center includes a climate-controlled two-lane service drive, four service advisor stations, and a state-of-the-art air-conditioned shop equipped with 16 service bays to efficiently handle high service volumes. This new facility is designed to enhance the overall customer service experience while supporting the needs of the dealership’s growing auto service team.

“We are very excited to be in our new building and look forward to providing better service to our customers,” said John Prinzing, General Manager of Tom Kadlec Kia. “The Kia brand has been very successful for us over the past 10 years, and they continue to turn out great new products.”
Prinzing also added, “We’re incredibly proud to open the doors to our new Kia facility, a space built with our customers in mind. This expansion represents more than just a larger showroom or service area; it’s a commitment to providing an elevated experience for every guest who walks through our doors. As the Kia brand continues to grow and innovate, we’re growing alongside it to better serve our community with the service, selection, and hospitality they deserve.”
