This move aims to ensure that customers continue to receive the exceptional service they’ve come to expect from both Wayne Kirk Motor Group and the Kia brand.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the acquisition, Wayne Kirk, founder of Wayne Kirk Motor Group, stated, “We are extremely proud to be given the opportunity to take ownership of the Napier Kia brand. Our commitment remains unwavering in providing customers with the best possible service while maintaining the legacy and reputation of Kia in Napier.”
