Kia Minnetonka Automotive Sales Consultant

Why Walser Kia, and Why Now

Walser Kia is growing, and we're adding Customer Specialists to keep up. Our Minnetonka store serves Wayzata, Plymouth, and the greater Twin Cities, and demand keeps climbing across the lineup — Telluride, Sportage, Sorento, Seltos, Carnival, K4, and K5 — plus one of the deepest hybrid and EV lineups in the segment, including the EV6, EV9, EV3, Niro EV, and plug-in hybrid Sportage, Sorento, and Carnival.

That mix matters for your career. Kia buyers walk in with real questions about range, charging, tax credits, and hybrid versus gas. The Customer Specialists who can answer those questions well are the ones customers come back to and refer. You don't need to know any of it on day one — we'll teach you — but you do need the curiosity to learn it.

You'll also sell the Walser way: transparent, upfront pricing and a pressure-free experience. No haggling, no games. Your job is to guide, not to grind.
