Kia has become one of the most-driven brands on Oʻahu — Fortes and Souls in town, Sorentos and Tellurides in Mililani and ʻEwa, Sportages in every rental fleet. When the only key is lost or the fob stops responding, Double Quick Locksmith cuts and programs a replacement where the car is parked, with the same immobilizer access the dealer has.
Family-owned in Kaimukī, 24/7 across Oʻahu, registered in the State of Hawaiʻi, insured by Thimble for $1,000,000 and NASTF VSP registered.
Forte, Soul, Rio, Optima and K5, Sorento, Sportage, Telluride, Seltos, Niro, Carnival, Sedona, Stinger and EV6 — 2006 to current.
