I love this dealership great service only disappointment the back of my car wasn’t washed at all. Andrew is awesome otherwise!
Brandon was our salesman he was awesome and I will send people to him. Thank you all again
Friendly and heloful had the exact suv we wanted. Even on a busy day we were helped immediately.
I drove out there to test drive a car on the lot. When I arrived, the sales manager asked me how many cars I'd driven at other dealers. "Maybe 5?" I said. He refused to let me test drive the car on the lot because I 'wasn't serious.'
A few days later, I bought the same make/model/year at Fox Toyota in Clinton. Better price and really nice folks to work with.
I'm still baffled by my experience at Rusty Wallace, and I would never do business with them. And I wish they'd stop ... Read More DealerRater - May 26, 2026

I recently purchased a 2027 Kia Telluride from Joe "big country" Montgomery and had a wonderful experience! I was very hesistant to trade in my 2025 Telluride.

Rusty Wallace Kia of Knoxville falsely advertised an 8-year powertrain warranty. Their web page said: "We are proud to cover your Kia for eight years or 200,000 miles . . .you can expect this to be included with every new Kia we sell without having to ask for it."
On 4/22/2026 I purchased a new Kia Niro from Rusty Wallace Kia. When I got home I found that my paperwork did not include a copy of this warranty. I called Rusty Wallace; they were reluctant to provide me with a copy, but when I insisted they sent me the warranty: it is ... Read More DealerRater - May 13, 2026

I went in Rusty Wallace Kia of Knoxville to look for a car, and Joe Montgomery “Big Country” hooked me up. He listened to what I wanted and matched me with the perfect car. Thanks!
I came there and traded in my brand new car for a jeep I really liked. Keith was my dealer. Jake is the owner. The man that gave the jeep to them told me I made a huge mistake buying it. I can see why now. It had a death wobble and I took it back to them and it was supposed to be completely fixed when I picked it up. I assumed. Then the last few days it started acting up again and keep in mind I did not go missing it was only driven on the rode because ... Read More DealerRater - May 7, 2026

Excellent experience working with Chris Marte on the purchase of my 2026 Kia Carnival. Chris was patient with the constant delays finalizing the purchase on my end and went above and beyond finding the exact model we wanted.

Good dealership. Plenty of stock and nice people. Joe Montgomery was very helpful and knowledgeable about the car.
Big country did great appreciate it!
Joe Montgomery also known as Big Country was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! we came in on this past weekend and he spent about 5 hours with us and even bought me and my husband and our child chic fil a doordash when we said we were hungry and paid for it out of his own pocket! we ended up purchasing from another dealership but joe was hands down the best car salesman i ever dealt with. the salesman at the other dealership was awful. only reason we purchased there was bc they had a better price that this dealership couldnt come close to. ...

Joe Montgomery was great! Would recommend. Process was smooth and easy and got exactly what we were looking for
Great service by big country! Love the truck and although it wasn't for me ill be back to get what fit my needs.
Tushar is the best! He was very prompt in setting me up for a test drive and was very knowledgeable of the Telluride. He personally owns a Telluride so his practical experience and advice was very reassuring. KIA of Knoxville has a loyal customer largely because of salesmen like Tushar!
Brandon helped answer all my questions prior to coming to the lot, and Kenny helped us once we arrived. The were both amazing and we had the best experience. Kenny was down to earth and answered all my questions with ease. He never pressured us at all. The financing was fast and efficient. I highly recommend!
I needed to be driven to my appointment on Emory Road and leave my car with the service department. Brian Campbell accompanied me, and he was truly a pleasure to be around that morning. I really appreciated his professionalism and kindness — he made the entire experience so much better. If everyone I encountered each day were like Brian, the world would be a better place! He is truly a gem, and people like him are rare. The service counter staff who checked me in and out were also very friendly and helpful.
Best place to buy a vehicle. I wanted to surprise my husband by trading in his truck for his dream car....2023 camaro. Worked with Keith McGinty who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. If youre in the market for a new or used car, check out this dealership and ask for Keith McGinty.
Great customer care in particular the service dept ,parker did an extraordinary job
I had an excellent experience working with my salesmen Kenny and the entire team(didn’t get all their names). They truly went above and beyond to help me through a stressful situation. After discovering issues with the vehicle I originally purchased, they worked with me through the entire process of returning the car and made sure everything was handled the right way.
Kenny, Jon, and their manager were all very patient, understanding, and transparent every step of the way. The whole team made the process of getting into my new vehicle smooth and reassuring, and I never felt rushed ... Read More Facebook - Dec 14, 2025
Scott and Tony were both super helpful for my first time purchasing a car, any bump in the road they were quick to attend to and overall made the experience great. Have already sent a few friends his information for some possible future purchases!
Kenny was amazing! He was patient, kind and worked with me every step of the way. I would highly recommend getting a car through him! He will help you every step of the way, he understands what you want and what you’re looking for and makes sure he does everything he can to get you in that car! 10/10 recommend
Their GM Jake is great. He will work and find a way to make the customer happy. He’s earned my future business. Mike the salesman is great also. He made the process very quick and easy. They have a nice setup for free drinks and snacks as well. My kids really enjoyed it!
We have never had such a great experience at a dealership! James was fantastic start to finish and listened to what we needed and helped us get more for the budget we came in with!
I’ve bought two used cars (one personal and one for work) with Rusty Wallace Kia and the help of James G. James is kind, thoughtful, and listens to what you really need in a car. He doesn’t pressure you or try to “up sell” you. He makes sure that you are comfortable with the car you are purchasing and drive off the lot happy. I was so happy with my last purchase from James that I named the car “happy” - not a joke. We all know that buying cars is exhausting but James makes the car buying ...

Great experience with Brandon! Thanks for everything I love my 2024 Kia Sportage LX.❤️
Great experience with Keith! This is the 2nd time we have dealt with him and he put us in a brand new red KIA Soul EX. The process was smooth and he did a great job. All employees that we encountered were professional and friendly. Customers for life!
Awesome dealership friendly staff knowledgeable and helpful at all points of my tome there
James Gordon and the entire staff at Rusty Wallace KIA were fantastic! I love my new KIA Soul!
So grateful for this dealership and Brandon Belue! My husband and myself had a not so good experience at another dealership in the area last year. When we saw that Kia of Knoxville had exactly what we originally wanted we knew we had to jump on it before someone else did! Kia of Knoxville will be our go to dealership now! Thanks again Brandon!!
Wonderful service! I’ve purchased multiple vehicles over the years from Rusty Wallace Kia and each time has been a smooth and pleasant experience. I highly recommend RW Kia at Callahan Drive for all your new/used car purchases and service needs.
Great service!
Long-time customer of sales and service. They have a wonderful crew front-to-back, and will do their best for you!
Jordan Chitwood was an excellent sales person. Not too pushy but knew the right approach to selling us a car. I’d recommend him for sure.
Greg is hands down the best salesman I’ve experienced. I wanted a speedy purchasing process and he exceeded my expectations. He listened to all my concerns and was not pushy at all. I came from a really bad experience at parkside kia… Greg completely saved my relationship with KIA. Choose this dealership- you won’t be disappointed!!
Mr. Odom helped me find exactly what I wanted, the process was easy, and i love my new car. Highly recommend Rusty Wallace Kia of Knoxville!!
I've been dealing with this dealership for 7 years now and they are always very helpful, very friendly and their service department goes out of their way to get you the best deals on parts and labor.
I told Brandon exactly what I was looking for, and he had a really nice car for me, the car matched everything I was looking for and at my price range. It's an Forte and I was able to get my favorite color. If anyone is looking for a great deal with exceptional customer service you should go to Rusty Wallace kia on Callahan rd. The people there really jump through hoops to get you the car you want!!! Thank you all at the dealership for being so helpful.
We just purchased a 24’ Kia Sportage Prestige for our son at RW Kia and the service we received was 100%!
James Gordon was our salesman and he could not have been nicer. Hands down the best salesman we’ve ever worked with! He went above and beyond to explain all the features and answer any questions we had. He was extremely easy to talk with, very personable and never pushy in the least. Within minutes of talking cars with James we knew we were in the right place. We had our teenage son with us and he was absolutely amazing with ... Read More Google - Feb 19, 2024
Kenny Bower is the man! If you need a car, ask for him! He will absolutely take care of you.
I just walked off the lot with my new Kia Telluride, and I couldn’t be happier with the amazing level of service that I received. Keith was my sales representative and he was so informative, easy to talk to, and he wasn’t pushy at all. I have never had such an enjoyable and easy experience at a car dealership before. I brought my two kids with me (5 and 2 years old) and they enjoyed the experience too! The dealership had plenty of snacks & drinks to choose from, and one of the guys on the floor (I believe his ...

This is one of the few places with no pressure to buy a vehicle. Upon arriving at this dealership, I was greeted by Mr. James who was so welcoming and ready to ask about our day rather than selling us a car. We chit chatted for a while and then he asked about our needs and the reason for our purchase. He then spent a few of his precious hours showing us the different options of which none of the available cars on the lot were to our liking. Mr. James offered to get the interior and exterior color shipped ... Read More Google - Feb 6, 2024
Great place. One of the guys, Gaige was very helpful while I was looking at the vehicles
Tushar got us to come in and was able to get us into the car we’d been wanting for a while. He was super informative and kind.

Tushar Shah it was my salesman and he did a fantastic job! My mother my daughter and I have all bought cars from him. He was very knowledgeable and patient from the beginning to the end of our process and he's very friendly! The dealership was very clean and everyone greeted us. Since the sale I have taken my car for my oil changes several times and the service department is excellent as well. I highly recommend him!!!!

I love this office and especially working with Hannah! She is always so nice and sweet! I always recommend this location!
We always go to Scott Stiff and Tony Baily to get new cars because we know they will always sell us somewhere safe and give us a fair price on any trade ins.
We were looking for a car for our granddaughter after her engine went out in hers and Keith McGinty was the most helpful salesman I have ever dealt with. He got to know the facts and what would be in her budget, and her likes. He did not try to push anything on her that was beyond her price she could handle, or vehicles she would not like. He took time with us and that meant the world to me. He treated our granddaughter with respect and kindness. He answered questions and he presented questions that she nor us even ...

What a great staff! They were so sweet and lead me right to the perfect car! I could not thank them enough!
Buy my new car, was the best experience I had in a long time. Simple, easy, and fast. The sales person was helpful and made it a stress free process.
Great service! From scheduling to the actual servicing of my truck was perfect! Hands down best dealership around!
Best customer experience ever
Keith McGinty was knowledgeable, easy going, and helpful. I called a few days before my visit and shared some general parameters for my search. He had three great options ready when I showed up and legitimately helped me think through what I really wanted on a couple of test drives. I ended up with a much better car than the ones I was looking at through online services.
Scott Stiff and the staff at Rusty Wallace are very good to work with when buying a new car. I have bought many cars there and love this dealership.
Great customer service!
Always great service and takes care of our whole family. Will always recommend. Ask for Brandon. He'll take great care of you!
A real nice fellow, named Keith McGinty, sales man, my wife was down there,, and she was extremely pleased, he treat her super professional, she said she felt no pressure, and was very concerned with what she was interested in as a vehicle, , this is an absolute step above the norm, thank you Keith,
Great service! Much appreciated
Very friendly staff.
The team at RW Kia led by Nick and Tushar worked hard to meet our needs and stay in our budget! Thank you
These guys are great. Service department's Russell and Lindsay went way above and beyond the call of duty to make sure this old gal got home safely. It is appreciated more than words can say. Thank you again so very much!
Treated with respect and kindness
Very nice people. Always do good for me
Jordan and Tushar were great to work with!
James Gordon was the best salesman and we appreciated all that he did during the purchasing process.
The staff at Rusty Wallace Kia is excellent! It is always a pleasure doing business with them.
The customer service is great. Went looking to trade one car in left with 2 cars and ended up going back with an issue and they fixed with no cost to me. Great work to everyone. Will definitely be back
Oil change took 3 hours. Was given a $20 discount to compensate but no oil change should ever take that long
I would have given five stars if I hadn’t had to wait over two hours for an oil change and tire rotation. Everything else was great!
