We visited Coughlin Kia of Dublin in November 2025 ready
We visited Coughlin Kia of Dublin in November 2025 ready to purchase a vehicle, but the experience was ruined by a culture of hostility and borderline sexism that seems to come from the top down. Our interaction with the Sales Manager, Elijah, was a major red flag. When we asked for basic pricing transparency, his demeanor shifted to irritation. He accused us of "playing games" and I even witnessed him tell a junior employee to "shut up" during our negotiation. Despite this, we gave them a second chance because we wanted the car. That was a mistake. Upon returning, a sales associate suggested my wife she should "smile more" considering we were getting a new car—a comment he did not make to me. Later, another salesman used the cliché "Happy wife, happy life" to pressure us. When I called out the inappropriate nature of the comment, he doubled down. This dealership tolerates disrespect toward women and their own staff. Do not reward this behavior with your business.
