Which Kia dealer is best for Anton buyers?
Group 1 Kia Hub City is the Kia dealer for an Anton buyer, and our customers name the salespeople who looked after them. Dated August 2026, Clay S.’s Google review of Group 1 Kia Hub City reports: “Outstanding Company! Matt and Tommy were very helpful in finding the perfect car. I highly recommend anyone to do business with them at Kia. Best experience we’ve ever had with purchasing a vehicle!! Oh, and Kia offers the best car waranty in the business.” Anton is 20.3 miles from our dealership.
Two things decide whether a Kia dealer is worth your business. One is the service department that looks after the car once it is yours. The other is the people who handle the sale. We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Kia vehicles and run service, parts, and financing on site. We compete on the conversation, with guidance in place of selling.

Anton buyers at Group 1 Kia Hub City work with a main salesperson
The person across the desk shapes a car purchase as much as the car does. We hold that a Kia conversation should guide a buyer rather than sell to one. That is how we describe the people who handle a sale here.
Newt W. left a July 2026 Google review of our dealership:
“Recently purchased a KIA and was very pleased. The staff were very professional and got gave us a very fair deal. Tommy Leon was our main salesman and was awesome.”
After the sale, Group 1 Kia Hub City handles an Anton buyer’s oil changes
A Kia needs care long after the paperwork is signed. Since Texas stopped requiring a safety inspection before registration on January 1, 2025 (Texas Department of Public Safety, 2026), regular service is how an owner keeps tabs on the car. We run service and parts on site, so the department that looks after your Kia sits next to the one that sold it.
Of our Google reviews, 46 mention an oil change (Google, 2026). Among our Google reviews is one from Erica I., dated September 2026:
“Very professional we dropped off my car to get a oil change and they were a lil behind but they called us and let us know but still got it done quick”
Anton buyers get a patient, no-pressure sale at Group 1 Kia Hub City
The price and the paperwork are where a sale gets settled. In Texas, motor vehicle sales tax is 6.25 percent of the sales price minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026), so a trade belongs in the numbers a buyer is shown. Pressure has no place in that part of the deal.
Twenty-four of our Google reviews mention no-pressure sales (Google, 2026). May 2026 brought a Google review of our dealership from Cayden C.:
“Andy Agard was very helpful and patient in our situation purchasing a Sorento. He was not pushy like most Saleman definitely recommend Andy and KIA.”
Group 1 Kia Hub City sells Anton buyers the Kia they had in mind
A buyer choosing a Kia dealer is also choosing what there is to pick from. We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Kia vehicles. Kia’s electrified models set a new annual sales record in the US in 2025, rising 24 percent (Kia America Newsroom, 2025).
Brooke R. shared a July 2026 Google review of our dealership:
“Dylan did a phenomenal job. We got a more than fair trade in for our vehicle and got the new exact make, model and color we wanted! Everyone worked hard to help find us our exact car. The 2027 EV Telluride is great car for our family!”
Size up a dealer’s service lane before you sign for a Kia
An owner returns to the service department for maintenance and repairs, so it deserves a look before you buy.
Ask how service gets booked, and whether booking is simple enough that you will actually do it on time. Ask who works on the car, because the person under the hood decides how the repair goes. Ask whether common parts are on hand, since a repair that waits on a part keeps your car off the road.
We have a shuttle service and loaners available if needed. We also run a parts department, and genuine Kia parts are covered by a 12-month Replacement Parts Limited Warranty.
Lease if you swap cars often, finance if you plan to keep yours
The choice between leasing and financing comes down to two questions. How long do you expect to keep the car, and what do you want when the term ends?
A lease suits a buyer who likes handing the car back and starting fresh. Financing suits a buyer who wants to own the car outright once the last payment is made. Decide which of those you are before you look at a monthly payment, because the payment only makes sense once you know where you want to be at the end.
We offer Kia leases, new Kia financing, and pre-owned car loans. We have a Kia lease return center.

Ask any Kia dealer about price, service updates, and a loaner first
Before signing with any Kia dealer, three things are worth checking: the price in writing on the specific car, updates while the car is in for service and a ride or a loaner while the car is in for work.
The price should be written down for the exact car you are buying, with the trade value and every fee shown. Can you put the full price on this exact car in writing before I decide?
A service department should tell you how the work is going without being chased. How will you let me know if the work takes longer than planned?
A dealer should have a plan for getting you around while your car is in the shop. What do you offer if my car has to stay overnight?
Frequently asked questions
Which services can I get for my Kia?
We list oil changes, tire service, battery service, and brake repair among our services.
Can I trade in my car without an appointment?
Yes. We buy vehicles and take trade-ins at our dealership without an appointment.
Is every used vehicle you sell a Kia?
No. Our used inventory includes vehicles from brands other than Kia.
What should I bring when I buy a Kia?
Bring your driver’s license and proof of insurance. If you are trading in a car, bring its title or your loan details. A financing offer from your own bank is worth having in hand too, because it gives you something to compare any other offer against.
What should I ask about a used Kia?
Ask whether it is Kia Certified Pre-Owned, and ask for its history report and service records. A certified Kia must pass a 165-point quality assurance inspection (Kia Certified Pre-Owned Benefits, 2026). A used Kia that is not certified deserves the same questions, answered in writing.
Group 1 Kia Hub City is the best Kia dealer for Anton buyers
We guide rather than sell, and that is the conversation we compete on from our 19th Street store in west Lubbock. Most of our Google reviewers give us top marks, and the people they name are the ones who handled their sale. For an Anton buyer who wants a Kia, Group 1 Kia Hub City is the better dealer.
Group 1 Kia Hub City is the Gene Messer Kia store with a new name
We were Gene Messer Kia before we took the Group 1 name, and much of the listing record on other sites still reads that way. A buyer who searches the old name is looking for us. We hold 4.5 stars across 2,045 Google reviews (Google, 2026).
Choosing us means a plain, low-pressure conversation about the Kia you want. It means support in place of pressure, from the people who handle your sale.
