Great Experience! Easy to deal with very upfront

Was an amazing experience for my first time car buying from a dealership....I went to one dealership with no luck and came to Charlie Obaugh Staunton Kia and Matt Sniegocki was able to get us approved and in our new Kia Soul that we drove right off the lot the same day.....he was so helpful and put us in the right vehicle for us and with the right payments to meet our needs....would highly recommend to any and everyone this is the place to go!!!


Most amazing, professional salesperson I have ever dealt with. Very responsive and efficient.



Not pushy. Easy process and Matt Sniegocki found exactly what we were looking for.

I stopped in Charlie Obaugh Kia to check out a new Telluride. They did not have any in stock but I talked with Garrett Simmons, sales associate. He let me look at his car as well as the managers and walked around both cars showing me all the bells and whistles. He let me know the next day that a brand new 2024 Telluride just came in. We went over and purchased the car that same day. Garrett was so knowledgeable about the Kia brands. He took his time explaining all the bells and whistles and setting up the car to ...

I purchased a vehicle from Matt Sniegocki. I live in PA and Matt made the whole process smooth and easy. He helped with any question I had. Thanks Matt for all your help!!


Bought a brand new sorento from Matt Sniegocki and had a great experience! Highly recommended.

Another great experience with Obaugh and Matt Sniegocki! This is my 5th purchase from Matt. The no pressure technique and simple process keeps me coming back. Matt always makes sure I'm 100% satisfied before I walk out the door. I highly recommend him and the great sales team at Charlie Obaugh Kia!!

Matt Sniegocki is awesome. So very helpful and went over everything which was wonderful

I had a great experience with buying my new car today. Matt Sniegocki was a great help.

Normally I don't leave reviews but I have done business with Charlie Obaugh 4 times so far three of them with their Kia dealership. Each time I have gotten great service from them. I have worked with Matt Sniegocki for almost all of my car buying experiences. He is very easy to work with and has always worked well to make sure I can get the car I want without receiving a bloated sales experience. As long as Matt works for the Kia dealership I will certainly continue to work with him.

Everyone at kia gave me a wonderful experience and helped me get my 1st nice car especially the sales lady Melissa she helped me out so much and helped me come home in a beautiful 2023 kia forte ❤ I highly recommend kia

Quite easily the best car buying experience I've had. We were interested in a vehicle and got on the line with Jose, he had me ready to go with in the hour, went above and beyond to take care of us, the whole process was made simple. If you are in the market for a new or used vehicle make sure you give Jose a call, the whole team embodies what customer service is all about.

I inquired about a vehicle and Garrett was so super helpful!! He’s the best!

Great body shop


I was in the market for a new car and wasn’t sure what I wanted. I reached out to Matt Sniegocki and made an appointment to look at new cars. Needless to say, I ended up buying a new car and I am absolutely in love with it. He made the buying experience very easy and is very professional. He even took the time to “set up” the new car for me and he explained all the functions. I have and will definitely recommend anyone in the market for a new car to go see Matt!

GMC service, everybody is kind and ready to help. Great place to bring your vehicle.


I took my car for an engine diagnostic and was told they couldn’t duplicate the issue, and didn’t find anything else wrong (outside of a dead side light)… paid over $300 for the diagnostic and light repair. The next day, my car stalled when I was pulling into a parking spot.. burning smell, and had some issues starting. Probably the alternator…? I don’t know, but I’m very upset that I took my car to them, was told there was nothing wrong, then took a weekend trip and BOOM… something is obviously wrong. Hopefully the issue can be ...

Melissa Cline at Charlie Obaugh Kia helped me get into my first newer vehicle, she was super helpful, polite and super nice, highly recommend doing any business with her!

Great staff n very helpful. Answered our questions. N most of all we never felt pressure to buy

Matt our salesman was very polite and efficient. I wanted my Sportage in Jungle Green and he made it happen.

I highly recommend Charlie Obaugh Kia for your car buying needs. Matt Sniegocki is excellent to work with and really goes above and beyond to get the vehicle you're looking for. I have had multiple experiences working with him and have bought several vehicles from Matt at Charlie Obaugh Kia. Recently my son's car stopped running and we needed something quick and affordable. Matt found us the perfect car; it was in our budget and really exceeded our expectations! We have been very satisfied with our experiences there and will be returning in the future.

Did a key for SUV

Every time that I have dealt with the service department at Charlie Obaugh Kia, I have had nothing but prompt service, kindness, and professionalism. From the initial phone call into the service department, to the appointment scheduling, to the appointment arrival, to the completion of work, they are top Notch and do what they say they will do. I will continue to do business there for many years.

They made us a car key from a blank. The car starts but is a little tight in ignition

They did a key for us.. It's a little tight but it does start



Bought an awesome car and had the most imazing sales man. Pat Berrang has helped us on more than one occasion. He wanted us to have what we needed and wanted. No high pressure sales pitch. Just helpful input. I'll come back to see him again.

I recently brought a new Altima from here my second vehicle purchase from Charlie obaugh..My battery died with in one month...I was frustrated but my guy Adam took care of it..most people wouldn't care..he went out his way to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Big shout out to the whole team ! Thank you guys!! If you need a warrant go see Adam!!

Online Kia service scheduling is convenient. Valet available if needed. They have taken good care of my Kia do far.


They were honest, quick and did a service for free when the chantilly buick dealer wanted 189 dollars for the same 90 second service. Thank God I called around. Woot woot!


This is a nice Dealership to buy from and the people are nice and very helpful.

My experience with Charlie Obaugh Kia was Stellar. I worked with Melissa from start to finish and she was absolutely great. She promptly responded to all my questions, and provided world class customer service. I am very Thankful that they were able to find a brand new Hybrid Car that adjusts to my family's needs. The best part of all this experience was that I never felt that the dealership was taking advantage of me and that they brought the car to my doorstep (I Live 150 miles away from the dealership). Everyone was courteous and they are an honest ...

Expert service and customer care.

15k service with a smile. Comfortable waiting room.

Bought a car back in January from Melissa. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I will be buying my next car from Charlie Obaugh Kia.

No conplaints regarding Charlie Obaugh. I love all of the staff!

I’ve never had such a pleasant car buying experience! 10/10 Recommend Charlie Obaugh Kia!

Quick service and super nice people.

These guys were a pleasure to do business with, I don't think I've ever had an easier or smoother transaction! They are fair and honest, which is not typical in the car business! Looking forward to continuing to do business with Obaugh Kia!

Quite simply a great car-buying experience, and proof that it pays to buy cars from the best dealer, not the closest dealer. Ended up speaking and dealing with Josh, Matt, and Garrett - all of them great, and a pleasure to deal with. When I look for my next Kia, I will absolutely go here, even though there are easily a dozen dealers much nearer.

We had 5 items to be repaired on our 2013 Kia Sorrento last weekend. Kelly did an awesome job communicating with us and keeping us updated on parts, service, cost and timelines. She even checked our coverage with CarShield. The shop worked hard to find a necessary part and completed all of the repairs by Saturday afternoon. Just amazing that Kelly and Thomas worked extra time on a precious Saturday to complete the job. They even completed a state inspection to get us back on track. The Kia service team did a fabulous job, start to finish. You will not be disappointed ...

I live in Charlottesville and have had horrible luck with the car dealerships here. I began buying/servicing cars in Staunton about 15 years ago and this dealership is a perfect example of why I started doing so. I ordered a Kia Telluride in the middle of 2020 and it was delivered within six months ( a totally normal wait time nowadays). A lot of dealerships in Charlottesville, Richmond, NOVA, etc. were marking up cars (especially desirable ones) by thousands and thousands of dollars. Charlie O Kia gave it to me at sticker and then applied a $500 discount Kia was offering at the ...

Great professional staff. Fair prices! I got my brand new 2023 Kia Sportage from Charlie Obaugh KIA dealership and couldn't be happier. Matt, the salesman, assisted me exceptionally throughout the whole purchase. I got a very good price for my trade-in, and they sold me the vehicle without the ridiculous market adjustment, I paid the MSRP only! Thank you very much, folks!!! Keep up the great work!

Duncan was amazing in helping me with my 2023 Kia Seltos Nightfall purchase! Explained everything in detail, no hidden fees and excellent customer service. Highly recommend him for your new car needs!!

Great service

Lacey is literally the best sales person at Charlie Obaugh. She tracked my vehicle on the delivery truck until it arrived. She called the day it came in and told me I could come get it the next day. She sat with me in my new car and explained every function and feature thoroughly and answered any questions I had. She was very knowledgeable and confident. I love my new Kia Soul! Thank you, Lacey, for selling me my favorite car! 🙂


Fiancé's car broke down 200 miles from home around Fairfield, VA. We had it towed to Charlie Obaugh Kia in Staunton. They scanned it and said it needed a new engine and that, since it was under 100,000 miles, it was covered under warranty. They told us it would take 4-5 days to get the new engine in and a week to install it. They did in fact receive the engine in the time frame they quoted and had it installed within three days. They also took care of some other items that needed addressed at very reasonable prices as well. ...

I have been buying my own vehicles since 1988 and this purchase was the the smoothest transaction ever. Matt, my salesman, Jake and Josh were the best! Matt took his time with me and the purchase was so easy. But, the best part is the new 2023 Kia Sportage X-Pro! I love it! It’s sharp looking in Glacial White Pearl with a black roof and trim! I am enjoying everything about it, from the smooth ride, all the great features and the ease of using them, to the spacious interior and the new body style. I highly recommend purchasing from Charlie ...

Garrett Simmons and Charlie Obaugh Kia made our purchase of a new Kia Soul an easy and enjoyable experience. Garrett was a pleasure to work with. He took his time to make sure I understood every option available regarding the car and financing. I never felt rushed or pushed. It was a great experience. I'd highly recommend Garrett and COK for your next purchase.


Matt Sniegocki and the staff at Charlie Obaugh Kia made this the easiest car buying experience we have ever had. We were presented with different offers and given the chance to chose - which made it feel like we had a choice and weren’t just being handed the highest offer. Knowing that they price their vehicles at MSRP made it a very transparent buying experience. Go see Matt for all of your car buying needs - new or used!

Garrett Simmons at Kia is the best! I’ve never had a better experience! Definitely recommend! ❤️

Matt was such a help from start to finish with buying my new car! He listened to all of my needs and wants and put them into action! He also got us a great deal on our new vehicle! Highly recommend Matt S. to help you with everything!!

Had a great experience with a 2022 Kia Sorento PHEV order here! Matt & Josh were great to work with. Matt went the extra mile (literally) to make the purchase work out smoothly.

Matt Sniegocki and his manager Jake Swartz took unbelievable care of us, they put in real time and effort including time on there days off over a weekend. We called about a kia niro and travels from north Carolina a few days later. They were above board the entire time and got us a great deal. I have to say that after searching for a vehicle in our region and our long time dealer trying to slap us with huge upcharges Charlie Obaugh kia was worth the travel and will recieved my business again in the future. Ask for Matt ...

Pleasant and Awesome buying experience. Josh , Jake and Matt are amazing people and the way they deal with customers is awesome. Customer Service is top notch. I recommend recommend recommend!!!!!!!!!

Awesome staff and customer service.


I want to thank Melissa for helping me get my Kia K5. I really love this car. This is my third car buying from Charlie Obough. I send everyone I know there.

These folks were great!

I always have a great experience with the team here


Melissa always takes great care of me. She is efficient and thorough. Definitely keeps the best interest of the customer in mind. Want to be treated right… go see Mel. You won’t be disappointed!


Staff was courteous and friendly. Oil change was quick!

I was here to have my oil changed. Took maybe 30 mins and they washed my car.

Great service



Fixed my issue and reimbursed me on an issue that wasn't really their fault. They did me a great dead.


Went there today to set up a appointment for a recall on my car. Service was very friendly and nice


Everyone was so friendly. It took exactly as long as they said it would, so I wasn't late.


Wonderful experience.


A Big Thank you to Charlie Obaugh Kia, I would highly recommend this dealership and our salesman Matt Sniegocki! We’ve had Kia’s before, However Never the “Kia Soul”! Matt was awesome to work with, was extremely knowledgeable about all their inventory on the lot, even the used car inventory, no pressuring to make a sale just wanted to make sure we knew what we were purchasing! He worked with us through the week to make sure all of our questions were answered. He found the exact color, model & additional accessories we wanted with the Soul. We had ...


Great experience, & Matt Sniegocki was amazing made it quick & painless pleasure to work with


I took my KIA OPTIMA there today to have a recall fixed and I received a coupon in the mail for an oil change with actual KIA oil filter for $9.95!?!? I didnt think it was a real coupon, but it was!!! And when I got my car back they had vacuumed it for me and were going to wash it but washer was broken so they said they owed me a car wash!?! All I have to do is let them know when I want it done and its free!!! I was very impressed and appreciative!! Im Disabled and can ...

Lisa Fink is absolutely wonderful to work with. We gave her details of what we were looking for in a vehicle and budget. She found the perfect vehicle for our family. We will definitely contact her when we need a new car.

I highly recommend Charlie Obaugh Kia and Melissa Cline. After the random Staunton flash flood that occurred a couple of weeks ago, we needed two vehicles after our new Hondas were declared total losses due to water damage. I stopped by a few dealerships to test drive before stopping by Obaugh Kia. Melissa helped me as soon as I came in the door. I informed her that we were still dealing with our insurance company and I was unsure of how to navigate the process. She helped me with input and advice on how to deal with the insurance, recommended ...

Ask for BARRY (BEAR) BLAND! I cannot stress that enough. He is your go to guy when navigating into your new ride. I have poor credit but BARRY was able to get me into a very sharp (in my opinion) car. He was flexible with my schedule and night shift working hrs by sticking to text and emails mostly, which was very convenient for me. BARRY has been there for me not only to help purchase a great used car but even after when I had any questions about it. Very personable and when you meet him you just know ...

Best car shopping experience ever!

Amber is a great service write. She listens to all you say and the problem has always ben resolved under warranty for a couple of years. Cliff Clements and Obaugh KIA was responsible for having KIA replace my engine under warranty due to a cronic problem, even though it had 96,000 miles on it and the warranty expired at 100,000, and I did not buy the car from them! . They are a great dealership
