Jack Giambalvo Kia is proud to be part of the Jack Giambalvo Family of
Dealerships, which has earned recognition from the local community
through the York Daily Record Official Community Choice Awards every
year since 2016.

These awards reflect the confidence our customers place in us and
reinforce our commitment to outstanding customer service, quality
vehicles, and giving every guest an exceptional dealership experience.

The history of the Jack Giambalvo Family of Dealerships dates back to
the 1960s, when Jack Giambalvo began his career in the automotive
industry. After purchasing his first dealership in Red Lion,
Pennsylvania, in May 1974, he built a business centered on integrity,
customer service, and community involvement.

Today, the Giambalvo organization proudly represents 10 automotive
brands across six locations, serving drivers throughout York County
and beyond. Jack Giambalvo Kia continues that tradition by offering
a modern lineup of award-winning Kia vehicles while carrying forward
the family values that have guided the dealership group for more than
five decades.

Yes. Jack Giambalvo Kia offers a convenient online shopping experience
that allows you to complete many steps of the vehicle-buying process
from home. You can browse our new Kia and pre-owned inventory, value
your trade, apply for financing, estimate monthly payments, and
communicate directly with our sales team online.

Because Pennsylvania law requires certain title transfer and notarization
documents to be completed in person, the purchase cannot be finalized
entirely online. Our team works to make those final steps as quick and
convenient as possible.

Yes. Jack Giambalvo Kia offers vehicle delivery for eligible purchases,
depending on the destination, vehicle, and current dealership policies.

If you’re unable to visit the dealership, our team will gladly discuss
available delivery options, service areas, and any applicable
transportation fees. Contact our sales department to learn whether
your new Kia or used vehicle qualifies for delivery.

Yes. If you’ve found a new Kia, Certified Pre-Owned Kia, or used vehicle
you’re interested in, our sales team can help you reserve it while you
complete the purchasing process.

Vehicle availability changes quickly, so we recommend contacting us
as soon as possible. We’ll explain the reservation process, review any
applicable deposit requirements, and answer any questions you may have.

Yes. If you’ve already secured financing through your bank, credit union,
or another lender, Jack Giambalvo Kia is happy to work with your
financial institution.

In addition, our finance center partners with a variety of trusted
lenders to offer competitive financing and lease options. We’ll gladly
compare available financing programs to help you find the solution that
best fits your budget and vehicle purchase.

Yes. Depending on the vehicle and individual circumstances, Jack
Giambalvo Kia offers select extended, overnight, and specialty test
drive options.

If you’re interested in spending additional time with a vehicle before
making your decision, contact our sales team. We’ll review availability
and help determine which test drive options are available for the Kia
model you’re considering.

Whether you decide to buy or lease a Kia, each option offers distinct
advantages depending on your driving habits and financial goals.

Buying allows you to build ownership equity over time and gives you
the flexibility to keep your vehicle for as long as you’d like without
mileage restrictions. Leasing, on the other hand, often provides lower
monthly payments and the opportunity to drive a new Kia with the latest
technology and safety features every few years.

Our finance specialists will explain current Kia financing and lease
offers, discuss your driving needs, and help you choose the option that
makes the most sense for your lifestyle and budget.

Yes! Jack Giambalvo Kia is always interested in purchasing quality
vehicles, even if you’re not planning to buy one from us.

We accept all makes and models and provide a professional appraisal
based on current market values. Whether you’re selling your vehicle
outright or exploring your options, we’ll make the process simple,
transparent, and hassle-free.

Yes. Trading in a vehicle with an existing loan is something we help
customers with every day.

Our team will contact your lender to obtain the current payoff amount
and compare it with your vehicle’s trade-in value. If you have positive
equity, it can usually be applied toward your next new Kia or used
vehicle. If your loan balance exceeds the vehicle’s value, our finance
specialists will review financing solutions that may be available,
subject to lender approval.

Every trade-in is carefully evaluated using a combination of real-time
market data and the vehicle’s overall condition. Factors such as year,
make, model, mileage, service history, accident history, equipment,
condition, and local demand all play an important role in determining
its value.

Our appraisal team also compares similar vehicles currently selling
in the marketplace to ensure you receive a competitive and fair
trade-in offer.

If your current loan balance is greater than your vehicle’s trade-in
value, you have negative equity. While every situation is different,
this doesn’t necessarily prevent you from trading your vehicle.

Our finance team will review your payoff amount, evaluate your vehicle,
and explain the financing options available based on your circumstances
and lender approval. We’ll work with you to find the solution that
allows you to move into your next vehicle with confidence.

Scheduling an appointment is the best way to ensure prompt service and
allow our technicians to prepare for your visit. While Jack Giambalvo
Kia does accept walk-in customers when scheduling permits, appointments
help reduce wait times and ensure we have the parts and resources needed
for your vehicle.

Whether you’re visiting for routine maintenance or a repair, our Kia
Service Center is committed to providing efficient, professional service.

A standard Kia oil change typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending
on your vehicle, the recommended oil type, any additional maintenance
being performed, and the day’s service schedule.

If your appointment includes services such as a tire rotation,
multi-point inspection, cabin air filter replacement, or other
factory-recommended maintenance, your visit may take additional time.
Scheduling ahead is the best way to minimize your wait.
