Preparation
We want to make sure there are no curve balls thrown your way before driving down North Summit Street to meet with our advisors. That’s why we’re here to tell you how you can prepare to make the process seamless! For starters, you’ll want to check your credit score to make sure you’re in good financial standing. Then, you can determine your down payment amount to get a better idea of what your installments might look like. Remember, the larger the sum, the lower the payments will be. With that being said, it’s also imperative that you set a rigid budget to prevent exceeding your restrictions and falling behind. Before you walk through our doors, make sure to have proof of income, a driver’s license, and your insurance documents.
Vehicles
We have an array of vehicles to suit your boundaries, so we’ll take a look at what our inventory consists of. Are you in the market for a pre-owned edition of your favorite car? We carry certified Kias that go through 165-point inspections before being restored with genuine parts. And, with a 10-year/100,000-mile Certified Pre-Owned Limited Powertrain Warranty1, you’ll know your drivetrain, engine, and transmission are covered for the long haul. We also showcase previously leased models that are as little as two years old. These are a part of our one-owner vehicle segment, but we also have options that were trusted by a single driver for the long term before being sold to our location. Is a brand-new Kia more your speed? Consider the Sportage, Telluride, Forte, or Soul!
Online Tools
We have a virtual salesroom that can be accessed by clicking on your preferred link from the New Vehicles or Pre-Owned Vehicles dropdowns. Once you sort through the Narrow your Search filters, you’ll be able to pick from a list of cars that adhere to your wishlist. After you make your decision, you can use the Payment Calculator to view your potential installment plan. Plus, you can inject your trade-in value into the tool to see how it offsets the price of your prospective car. If you’re ready to take the plunge, fill out the online Finance Application to get a jumpstart on the paperwork. Upon receiving your inquiry, we’ll start compiling loan options!

Marla was exceptional!!
“ Marla was exceptional!! She was patient, understanding and worked diligently in the best interest of my mother. It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend anyone that wants to purchase a Kia to go see Marla.

TOP TIER TEAM = This is the place for you
“ TOP TIER TEAM = This is the place for you. Exceptional product, value and service. My family and I drove 400 miles round trip to Sandusky - would do it again. Ownership was outside, under my hood, explaining a question I had about my engine. Very friendly and interested in getting things correct. Sales and finance spent the extra time and energy to make sure my whole family had a great experience; one that was as efficient as possible due to our long trip back home! Answered all our many questions with honesty and good cheer. We left satisfied and very glad we made the long trip to Halleen Kia of Sandusky. ”
A great experience
“ I met with Matthew Wilhelm when I arrived at the dealership. I didn't have an idea in mind of what type of vehicle I wanted, but I did know how much I wanted to spend. Within minutes, he had picked out a car that fit in my budget and I love it. My family has purchased 2 vehicles from Halleen and both times it's been a great experience. ”
Thanks for your great customer servic
“ Justin greeted me at the door and was very helpful and polite .Justin i must say is one of the nicest most honest salesperson i have ever dealt with. I came home with my 2017 Soul within a few hrs , Im very pleased with how Justin and Aaron took care of me while purchasing my Kia Sou,. and i will be sure to recommend Halleen Kia and Justin Xavier.

“ Very friendly, service department is great. ”
Car shopping can be challenging
“ With a wife, 10 year old & 2 year old (and trading in our only car), car shopping can be challenging to actually test drive enough cars to find the one for you. Paul was patient & willing to help with getting everyone in & out of vehicles, toddler car seats & all, in order to help us decide on the '15 Kia Optima that we purchased. Richard was also very helpful in financing & also super friendly. When it's time to either add another car to our family, or trade in this one, I know where I'll be shopping. ”

Wonderful service!
“ Wonderful service! Love them! ”
We shopped most all of the local dealerships in the area
“ We shopped most all of the local dealerships in the area and the sales people were agressive with sales and were angered and offended when you asked them to calm down and some were simply irate when you you told them you were going elsewhere. We stumbled on the Halleen Kia in Sandusky Ohio and the salesman, Mathew Wilhelm, approached us with a calm demeanor gave us some quick info and left us to browse. Once we found a few new vehicles we were interested in, we approached Matt with a few questions and concerns which he answered promptly without hesitation or having to "ask his manager" like at other dealerships. We test drove the vehicles we were interested in and had a very enjoyable experience speaking with Matt. We shared stories and laughs as if we had been friends for years. His kindness was truly refreshing. He made our car buying experience a great one wich we will never forget. He represented himself and his buisness well. During the purchase process the owner came out to greet us and inquire about out experience. The owner personally thanked us for the purchase of our 2017 Kia Soul Plu ”
They work with you to get it done
“ They work with you to get it done. Thank you Paul, Patrick and Richard... greatly appreciated, God bless you ”
I bought the car
“ I bought the car, if that tells you anything. ”
I went to them very hesitant.
“ I went to them very hesitant. Paul the salesman that helped me was so kind and explained things to me. Even though I had some issues for him to work around he found a way to make the deal work for both of us. He was friendly and made me feel like I could ask questions and gave me great customer service. Anyone wanting to get a car should go in and ask for Paul. Great guy! ”
I was in to have 2 recalls looked into on my 2012 KIA Optima EX.
“ I was in to have 2 recalls looked into on my 2012 KIA Optima EX. The associate took the time to explain what they were doing and why. The overall environment was comfortable. No one was a stranger, I felt I'd known everyone I came in contact with for at least 10+years!! (Besides the owner saying "Hi" & scaring the living daylights out of me---that moment you're consumed by whatever you brought to pass the time & aren't expecting anyone to speak to you! Definitely a hilarious moment!) It was VERY apparent that they were there to help someone make ONE of the biggest decisions of their lives; that's best for YOU, the customer and not THEIR pocket! ”
Excellent, no worries.
“ Excellent, no worries. Paul P. and Aaron H. were accommodating and patient while I had the car checked out by a Honda certified collision/mechanical outfit. Ended up with a reliable car... ”
