Meet the man, the myth, the legend - David DeOliveira.
"The man" needs no introduction at all; his extensive list of awards speaks for him. His achievements are so impressive that his awards create awards for him.
2020 Platinum Award (KIA's most prestigious award) and Hawaii Award (Awarded to the "Elite" of Platinum Award recipients) 2019 Platinum (KIA's most prestigious award), Top 100 in the NATION, #1 in District 2016 - 2018 Gold Awards 
Between his stellar list of awards, his roster of clients, and record-breaking performance, it's no wonder that David is a most esteemed Sales Advisor at KIA of Dartmouth. 
When it comes to exceptional customer care, look no further. David handles each day like a BOSS! From the moment he steps into the showroom, he skillfully manages every aspect of the sales and lease process for his customers. Each customer experience is carefully crafted to meet their needs, likes, wants, and price. That's why David's customers keep coming back year after year. His referral list is so long there's a waiting list to see him.
With five years at KIA of Dartmouth, he has been an integral part of the growth and the evolution of the dealership. He has helped friends, family, and the community by navigating their car shopping journey with the utmost care and precision. This level of customer service has earned David an award reserved only for the elite in the business, which is the prestigious and coveted Hawaiian trip award. 
We are in awe of his innate ability to problem solve and get the deal done for his customers, even when challenged. No credit history is too challenging for David; he gets his customers approved and safely back on the road in the Kia they deserve!
Balance is a big part of David's life, and thanks to that, he has never failed to be a strong presence in family activities while also accomplishing outstanding goals and earning awards at work. 
When David is away from the showroom, he is at the family table sharing stories and laughs with loved ones. Being a grill master is one of David's many talents, so of course, the family dinner is prepared by no other than "the man." On his day off, David loves to safely pack the family and pets in the family Sportage and hit the road for spontaneous explorations and adventures. 
David has spent six years mastering his craft in the automotive industry, and five of them have been at Kia of Dartmouth. We're thrilled to have him on our team, and we're sure you will be too. To schedule an appointment with David, call 866-856-4104 and ask for David DeOliveira.

- Meet Keith Brady; the verdict is still out on whether Keith is the Tom Brady or Rocky Balboa of Kia of Dartmouth! Between his constant desire to be a leader, his win-win approach, and his "go the distance" attitude, he has shown to be one of the most outstanding sellers in the dealership. Some would say he is the perfect underdog story of the guy that managed to take the belt when as a rookie in sales, the odds of being "the best" seemed a distance away. Keith is the type of salesperson that quarterbacks every transaction of the car buying process for his customers. He is described as a straightforward, helpful, and resourceful person. His customers often comment on how comfortable they feel because, like a true champion, they know Keith will go the extra yard to get them the financing they couldn't get elsewhere. Keith puts on "the gloves" for his customers and enters the ring to handle payment and transaction protocols on their behalf to ensure the completion of their pay-off, so they can seamlessly drive off in their new vehicle from Kia of Dartmouth.
Keith is a sports enthusiast and huge fan of the Pat's, Red Sox, and Celtics. When he isn't watching a sports game, Keith is at the dog park with his three canine kids; Frankie, Myla, and Brooklyn. In the evening, Keith is a man about town, hitting up the "Foodie" scene in Providence, Downtown Newport, and a couple of his favorite spots in Bristol County. As the dog days of summer approach, Keith looks forward to afternoons playing whiffle ball and enjoying warm summer nights with family and friends. With three years under his belt in the automotive industry, Keith has achieved more than most sellers achieve in a decade. Be it for buying or leasing; customers know that they can count on Keith to help them make the best decision based on their lifestyle and budget. That level of customer service that he provides to each customer has been of paramount importance in his journey. We're thrilled to have Keith on our team, and we're sure you will be too. To schedule an appointment call 866-856-4104 and ask for Keith Brady!

- Meet Carlos DaSilva, our very own "Rookie of the Year."Unlike the character "Henry," Carlos didn't get his talent from a freak incident; he's a natural-born leader and a proven star player! Carlos applies his real-world experiences, determination, and sense of humor to win over naysayers, so his customers not only get the vehicle they want but the financing they deserve!If you've been fortunate enough to work with Carlos as either a client or colleague, you'll understand how in as little as eight months, he has size-ably contributed to the Kia of Dartmouth team.When others clock out and head home for the night, Carlos is crunching numbers at his desk skillfully working each deal to ensure the best price for his customer. We've all heard that being a rookie requires extra hours, but in Carlos' car, this is his inborn work ethic. And because of that, we see a bright future for Carlos.A great example of this magnifico is when Carlos helped a customer who had totaled her vehicle and had been in a rental because she had no luck getting financing at other dealerships. That was until she stumbled upon Car Wiz Carlos! Carlos got her the funding she needed, and before she knew it, she was riding off into the sunset in a brand new Kia. And for far less than what she had been paying for the rental.If you want to catch Carlos on his day off, he can be found trekking trails with his Golden Retriever and French Bulldog, soaking up rays of sunshine at local beaches, and kicking a soccer ball with family, friends, and his canine kids. In the evening hours, you're likely to find Carlos with his fur babies at woof-friendly eateries around town.With eight months under his hat in the automotive industry, Carlos has proven himself as a diligent professional, team player, and integral part of the Kia of Dartmouth team; we can't imagine the showroom without him in it. We're thrilled to have Carlos on our team, and we're sure you will be too. To schedule an appointment with Carlos, call 866-856-4104 and ask for Carlos DaSilva.

- Hi, I'm Rachel. I bring people and cars together to improve driving experiences at affordable prices. I've always loved cars and helping people. I genuinely enjoy watching my customer's faces light up with joy when I hand them the keys to their new vehicle. Especially in unique situations, like my 22-year-old client from New Bedford. She had been to a couple of dealerships and was informed she needed a co-signer. That wasn't an option for her, so she continued her pursuit and came to KIA of Dartmouth. We successfully got her financed for a brand-new Kia without the need for a co-signer. That was one of those moments where I knew my efforts really made a difference in someone's life.On my day off, I enjoy spending time with my fiancée outdoors, playing pool, and hitting the road together for spontaneous day trips. I also like to carve out time in my home studio with my two cats to paint portraits for family and friends.Rachel has more than seven years of experience and has been an employee of KIA of Dartmouth for over two years. She loves to help customers drive safe and reliable vehicles that fit their lifestyle and budget. We're thrilled to have her on our team, and we're sure you will be too.

Jessica works diligently to ensure the needs of every online inquiry are met with the highest of standards.

Like her customer Jan from Attleboro. Jan had totaled her vehicle and needed immediate transportation but was denied credit from other lenders. Jessica waved her wand and not only got Jan approved for financing, but she also worked the numbers with management so Jan could drive off in the exact vehicle she wanted. No compromises or delays, just a seamless and straightforward process is what you will find while working with Jessica.This is the reason why her customers have often described her as a "ball of energy." When she is not behind the blue screen at work, you will find this super-mom of 3 spending quality time with her daughters, taking her girls and their pooch Bella to the local dog park, and cooking up family recipes in the kitchen.
