"Hello, I wanted to thank the sales team (Sara Wienke and Tony Trinka) for a great car buying experience at Barnett. Sara was able to answer all
my questions about the Barnett Dealership and make the price-negotiation process very smooth and painless. Tony was able to offer his detailed
knowledge about the car I was going to buy and his smile and enthusiasm was refreshing. I would definitely recommend seeing either one of these
two sales people when visiting Barnett Chrysler!!"

"I was very pleased with the great service we received in buying our new Chrysler convertible. From the time I called and talked to Roxanne she
really helped by narrowing down the choices for us. Even in the middle of the snow falling we went for a test drive and she shared about the options
on the car. Then Tom , the one in charge of new car sales assured me that you'd be able to help me get the car I wanted. The next day Roxanne
was very helpful in letting us look and answering our many questions. Brian in finance was able to explain our options in financing our car.You made
it a reality for us in 24 hours. Roxanne did call and asked how I was enjoying my new car. It is a fun car to drive, especially when the streets are
not as rutted as they were last week. I would definitely recommend Roxanne and your dealership to anyone looking for a new car. In fact I am a
returning customer!"

to sell. He was willing to test drive car after car to ensure that this

have done business with Barnett for some time through the Service
Department. Excellent service and courteous employees!! This time, I
had the opportunity to work with new car sales person, Shawn Eliyahu -
again excellent and courteous. Shawn answered all my questions, made
sure
I understood the process, kept me informed throughout the
phases of purchase. He explained all the "goodies" and the regular
stuff on the vehicle
so that before I took off on my own, I was
comfortable in driving off the lot. Jeremy was also very courteous
through the paper process and
did not rush me , but answered
questions (sometimes twice!). You have a great staff Mr. Barnett!Â
Thank you - I have no reservation in

sales person jeremy was great better then the other dealer. I was
looking at buying, he took the time to explain how everything works and
walked me through also found rebates that were not advertised for me. My
car was also recalled the day i was going to buy it. Chrysler would not
allow the vehicle to be sold until after the fix had happened. He kept
me informed on when parts shipped arrived and repair had happened. The
financing agent I worked with was great as well."

"I absolutely love my new 2013 Kia Sorento I recently purchased at Barnett Kia!! Pat Hamlin was extremely helpful in helping us pick out our new vehicle and was also very helpful when it came time to pick up the vehicle. Financing was also a breeze. The car we originally ordered was sold by another dealership even though it was promised to me but Pat Hamlin and Barnett Kia went above and beyond get me the vehicle I wanted. The only difference was the color. I originally ordered Dark Cherry but picked out Baltic Blue to replace the car that was sold by the other dealer. In the end though, I think I like the color I bought better than the color I ordered!!
Thanks to all of you- I am looking forward to a very happy and long relationship with Barnett Kia and would definitely recommend you to any of my friends or family that may be looking for a new or used car."

"Your salesman Steve in White Bear was very helpful and very patient. We are getting used to our new car. We love the safety features of our new Kia. We bought the plain model because we drive so many miles, ( to Arizona and to northern Minnesota). The finance department took care of some problems that arose and everything turned out well. In reading the manual, I wish they would explain what ESC was used for. Steve helped us out with that. We would recommend a Kia to anyone wanting a good warranty and it looks like a good vehicle."

I needed to know to make an informed decision. The financial officer

Justin was able to put a deal together that matched the Bank where my daughter worked. We took the vehicle home and noticed it was leaking coolant. When I went back to pick up my vehicle I spoke to Rick our salesperson. He quickly assured me they would take care of it even getting Mr. Barnett to assure me they will take care of it. The problem was a defective radiator cap. They replaced it, cleaned up the engine compartment. Of course no one likes to have a vehicle they just purchased have mechanical problems. Sometimes it just happens. I look at how it was handled and give team at Barnett an A for customer service."
