Customer Testimonials

We had a pleasant at Rusty Wallace Kia. Ramone asked questions to find the perfect vehicle that would meet our needs, but without the sales pressure. Would recommend seeing him for your next vehicle.


Brandon was great! Thank you!

Rusty Wallace KIA has been so amazing when it comes to helping me take care of my 2017 Sportage.

I am grateful that I know there is a team of great guys near by to help me make sure my ...

Jenna was the best service advisor I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with to service my mother-in-laws 2023 Kia Seltos. She was very detailed and communicated everything I needed to know. I will definitely be back for service and maybe even a new vehicle!

Very happy with my new Niro and the sales experience.

Everyone there are wonderful people


A great dealership to deal with on picking a KIA. No high pressure sales. Very knowledgeable sales people and sales managers. Competitive deals. High marks for salesman, James Gordon III. His professional attitude and customer service before the sale was par excellence. The car only had one car fob, the other being lost by the previous owner, the dealer provided the second fob as a part of the sale. This is excellent sales support and I can highly recommend Rusty Wallace KIA for all your vehicle needs. Marshall Cornelius

I really need to brag on the service Dept. at this location Donnie Lamb and Russell Claxton have been extremely patient with me and my bad attitude.

Had a great experience purchasing a new Kia Sorrento. My sales rep. Ramone Turner and John in the Finance department were great people to deal with. I highly recommend Rusty Wallace, Kia, Of Knoxville, on Callahan Dr.


Excellent dealership. Straightforward and candid employees who weren’t pushing me or making me do anything I didn’t want. Kenny was super easy to work with and very responsive to questions and working with me on price, financing, etc. Definitely recommend Kenny to anyone looking for a Kia.



I was treated like the little old sweet lady I am. The two attendances that helped me with wipers I appreciate both of them so much.

Engine recall and replacement for my optima was fast,

Very friendly and professional🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Our engine blew an hour north of Knoxville. The service team was fantastic. They got us a rental car and sent us on our way. Jonathan told us 4-6 weeks and it was ready in less than 3!!! Amazing! Best part was that it was covered under and extended warranty that I didn’t even realize I had. No questions asked. Done! Thank you again for your incredible service. Gratefully, Ken and Kathy Ball

I take my KIA there for oil change. They are quick.


Wonderful experience from start to finish!! Great customer service! Friendly warm greeting!! Waiting time went by very quickly! Customer service gentleman came every 30 minutes to let me know how much longer (which was not long at all)! My car was washed and looked like it came off the showroom floor!!! I can’t say it enough…WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!

Had our car in for service and it was a very satisfactory experience. Excellent customer service. They were very professional, friendly, and kept us informed. Highly recommend.

Great service and great experience

Tushar was our salesman for the second time! We will always go back to him… he is the BEST! He works hard to make sure his customers needs are met. He is so personable, funny and knows his business!! Thanks so much from Herb and Bette Riley

We had a flat tire on the highway on a long family trip on a weekend. The team was courteous, friendly, fast, and incredibly helpful in the short time frame we had. Saved the day for us and saved the start of our family vacation. We’ll never forget the wonderful treatment they gave us, and can not recommend them more highly. I never leave reviews. This one, was a must. Thank you so very much.

Great service. Above and beyond.



This kia service and parts department are awesome! I had a part that only they carried (which they reserved for me when I was passing through) and installed it in two seconds. So helpful and nice!! Thanks, guys, and ladies!! You made this trip just a little less stressful!

Very nice service.

Excellent service!


Amazing experience and little wait.

Brandon was so helpful and accommodating. He knew so many details about the vehicles and was very patient through my decision making process. He made the car buying process enjoyable and seemed to genuinely enjoy his job. The manager was also super friendly and thankful for our service.

Donny Lamb and his staff in the service department go above and beyond consistently to assist the customer!

Wow! They made buying my daughter’s first new car a breeze. Thank you so much Kenny and Joe.
