"Jeremy, our 'money guy,' was very encouraging, and worked hard to get us our cars (we bought two). Even though I wasn't ready to purchase the first night (after hours of him researching), he showed incredible patience and even caring. The staff at Barnett is phenomenal. I never thought I could have such a good experience at a car place."
"Although Bryan Barnett was not officially a part of the team that sold me my two cars, he was definitely an important presence. First, I was impressed because an actual 'Barnett,' worked his way up in the company, and came to greet my husband and I personally. Â That was very classy. Â Secondly, he acted as 'back-up' for our money guy! Â That showed humility as well as a good team spirit. I am so pleased with the entire experience I had at Barnett, and Bryan Barnett definitely had a lot to do with that."

"Having been totally ignored at another dealership, I was impressed with the interest shown in me immediately.  I felt the various staff members were attentive, and made me feel comfortable.  They worked hard to meet my expectations.   I would have like an opportunity to sleep on the decision, but in the end, I am very happy with the car.  I have had several different friends in the past couple days ride in it, and it perfectly suited my primary concerns. It's still new, but so far, I am very happy with the car. You are to be commended for having a customer advocate call to verify the satisfaction. Thank you. If I continue to love the Kia Soul, I would probably most certainly come again for repeat business."

"I went to the Barnett Auto Group because I was referred to them from a friend. Â It was a little bit of a drive from Savage, but I am very happy that I did. Â From the first call to the follow up email, every aspect was first class. Â Jeremy, my salesman took time to listen to my needs. Â (something classy with a little something under the hood and room for my golf clubs for starters). Â I had done my own research and he recognized that I knew what I was talking about from safety to a V-6. Â A woman appreciates being respected for her knowledge. Â Thank you to the Sales Manager Mike and Chris in Finance for the finishing touches. Â I smiled all the way home in my Chrysler 200! Â It's classy with a little something under the hood and my clubs fit nicely in the trunk!!"
Vickie from Savage, MN

"Having purchased multiple vehicles and motorcycles the last several years, I can without a doubt say that Barnett provided the best purchase and service process I have encountered. The terms 'car salesman' and 'pressured to buy' are typically synonymous. Not with Barnett - at least the folks I work with including Trevor (salesman), Tim (sales manager), and Leon (business manager/finance). I was upfront with all three on my initial intentions and simply asked that they work with me through the process without pressure, whether it was going to be a week, a month, or a year until I made a decision. Not one time did I feel pressured or annoyed, which in my opinion, is atypical of the car buying experience. Their reward was a fairly quick and valuable sale!
These guys were Jeep experts, patient with the process, and helpful in locating my absolute ideal car of choice. Furthermore, they educated me on options without pushing the upsell. And the follow up in the last several days has been outstanding. Truly a positive experience.
Proud new owner of a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara!"

Drease is a great salesman, very patient, down to earth and personable. I think he could tell that any hard pressure tactics would have sent me out of the dealership in a minute. I do NOT like to have the distraction of someone talking me into something. The product sells itself, the salesman is there to educate. Financing was easy and pleasant enough (who can EVER say fun!) Thanks for the good experience at Barnett (our second purchase from Barnett)."

"This was a great transaction! Roxanne took us on the test drive after Jeff Link helped us to decide what to look at. Roxanne was very thorough in explaining all of the bells and whistles on the vehicle and I loved the car. It is just fantastic. I only needed the one test drive of the Journey to find my new vehicle. We came back the next day to pick it up and it was clean and ready to go. Joleen helped us the next day and explained all the different parts of the vehicle. She was unable to sinc my phone to the vehicle, so it is going back to get the computer chip fixed on it. Also, the finance person (can't remember his name) was just fantastic. He was friendly and really knew his stuff. He didn't push us into anything, but gave us a choice of getting the extra if we wanted it which we did. Overall, this was a fantastic deal, trade-in on my old car, and a whole lot of friendly and caring people to help us. This is what we look for in a dealer and what will bring us back to get another vehicle and refer others. Thanks for a great experience!"

"I feel like Barnett went the extra mile to make sure I got a vehicle that worked for me with a lease deal I could afford. I appreciate the time and effort dedicated to my transaction; also for the respect shown to me and what I was looking for in a new Kia Soul."

"We had a wonderful experience when we shopped for our new Soul Exclaim. Our Sales Consultant Shawn Eliyahu was very helpful, knowledgeable and very personable. He went out of his way to give us the best possible service. If he didn't readily know answers to a question he researched and made sure he wasn't guessing but instead gave us facts. He also called us a few days after we took our new car home to check on us and to make sure the car was a good fit for us. We would highly recommend him to our friends. The finance manager, Jeremy was very helpful and went above and beyond to give us the best financial program for us. Overall, the rest of the staff was friendly and greeted us warmly each time we went into the store. Good job, Barnett!!"

The finance manager, Jeremy, worked very hard to make sure we got the best interest and worked at getting all the paper work taken care. We would have no problem sending friends and family to them for a car. All the managers greeted us and thanked us, making sure we were pleased with our visit."

"I just wanted to write a quick note sending out a thank you to Mathew Cantolla for his honesty and dedication while selling my daughter her new car last week. I know I and most people have always been wary of car salesman especially when it comes to having them sell a loved one a vehicle, often with good reason, but he helped to redefine the stereotype. He answered all of my daughter and my questions honestly, and making that five-hour process not as painful as it otherwise could have been. I'm extremely happy with the car she has chosen with help from Matt and that's a pretty ideal situation when it comes to buying a new car, and it's all thanks to him. You can be sure that if I have any one of my other family members or friends in Minnesota looking to buy new cars in the future, I'll be sending them to Barnett Kia in White Bear Lake, and telling them to ask for Matt. Thanks again!"

"My experience was great at your dealership. The assistance I received from both the manager and the sales associate were very helpful and supportive through the process. I am also very happy with the quality of the vehicle (Journey). The only thing that was a negative was that when the vehicle was picked up it had not been cleaned inside and washed outside before it was turned over, but otherwise they did a very nice job with prepping the vehicle with the accessories that were ordered."

"My husband and I go here because the service is great. They give you there undivided attention when buying/leasing or getting your car serviced. We couldn't be more happy. Kyle R. (Internet Sales) did a outstanding job listening to what we wanted and didn't push us to get something more expensive. They are understanding and will work with you. Great Job to all of you at Barnett for making us feel comfortable with it all. We just recently sold our Caliber R/T and started a lease with a Chrysler Town & Country Touring L since we out grew our Caliber. We brought our kids who are 3 year old and 10 months and they were entertained and would bring the kids snacks. Very family friendly and they understand your lives are busy so they listen to you and make sure they can deliver there services in a timely manner the right way. You won't be disappointed when you work with Kyle (Internet Sales)."

"Our experience was excellent. Both Guy and Jeremy were very professional as well as personable. We saw the car on Saturday night, thanks to Guy and Jeremy staying late, and drove away proud owners of a "practically" new Kia Sportage Monday afternoon. We were able to reach a fair price with a minimum of negotiation including a trade-in that was far from "brand new." We'd buy another vehicle from Guy and Jeremy and will recommend them if the opportunity arises."

"I am completely impressed with the service I received at Barnett Kia. From the moment I submitted my request online, there were sales agents in touch with me via e-mail. Once I made a tentative decision, I was contacted by Guy, and he remained my point of contact. I made an appointment, and came in to look at Kia Souls. I was happy with Guy's knowledge of the vehicles, and his ability to provide pros and cons of certain models of the Soul that would or wouldn't suit my wants was great. In the end I decided on a Soul, put in a down payment, and was to come in the next night to pick up the vehicle...well, I changed my mind the next day, and thought this might cause a problem...but to quite the contrary, it did not...I was able to get everything done via e-mail, and picked up my new vehicle. I can not say enough how IMPRESSED I am with the service I received. Justin was sure to make sure I understood all of the financing details, including the extended warranty. Even though I am 30 years old, this is the FIRST time I have ever gone into a dealership alone to make a purchase, and I am glad I chose Barnett to do so. On top of all of the excellent service I received during the purchasing process, I noticed while driving my new vehicle home that there was a crack in one of the mirrors. I notified Guy the next morning, and voila...a new mirror is on the way, and will be installed when I come pick up my license plates...WOW...you guys are absolutely incredible...and you definitely have a customer for LIFE!!"

"I bought a Kia Soul + at White Bear Lake Barnette Kia from Kyle Egan. Kyle was more informational than pushy. Although he certainly did a sales pitch. It just was more comfortable. I knew I was going to buy within the week or the month at the latest. Justin in the finance dept worked with me to arrange how much down to get the payment I wanted every month. Mike Barnett was very nice to do a soft pull on my credit until I was ready to pick a car before he ran my credit officially. I just thought it was a great experience all around. It was not a hurried process, I certainly had plenty time to change my mind and run out of there. It was REALLY nice to not have a sharky sales guy working with me. I am glad Kyle approached me when I walked in."

"I loved the treatment at Barnett. David Santiago, was on top of his game. He showed me the van we had picked out on the internet, and then showed us his choice for us, which was wonderful, and a way better pick for our money. I felt like we were family. After we bought our van we went and picked up my grandparents, drove them around, and then took our kids and just drove around town for several hours. Even though gas is expensive, the smile on my kids face was much worth it. So much that when we finally arrived home, all four were comfortably sleeping. Thanks David and Barnett!!"

"I searched on the internet for a Grand Caravan RT. Barnett had the best competitive price. I called the dealership and spoke with Rick. It was quick and he was upfront. So my son and I headed to Minnesota from Wyoming. The car was ready when we arrived and we had a fun "Road Trip" on the way home. The next time I shop for a car I will definitely check with Barnett and Rick first. Plus we weren't done checking out the MOA. They made car shopping Fun!!"

"I was recommended to Barnett, I had high expectations when I walked in, and I must say, they were met. We were greeted by a very friendly salesman (Trevor Urman), and I told him exactly what I was looking for and he took me right to a few options. He didn't try to show me cars that did not fit the criteria I was looking for. He is a very knowledgeable guy and answered all my questions. He even went and got my car washed for me and had them out in a new battery. He was more than willing to help me figure out everything. I will recommend this dealership! That is saying something because I went to a lot of other dealerships and they all had poor customer service. Thank you! Keep up the wonderful customer service."
