Is Kia of Bowie a good Kia dealership? Yes, with 1,460 reviews at 4.4 stars

Yes. Kia of Bowie holds a 4.4-star Google rating across 1,460 reviews, and 80 in 100 of them are five-star. Customers praise our sales process, our service team and the staff who sold them their cars, and we sell the full Kia lineup from one store on Governor Bridge Road.

The rating matters most when the reviews are read as a whole. A store with a few glowing reviews and a long tail of complaints looks very different from one with a large body of reviews at a high rating. Ours is 1,460 reviews at 4.4 stars.

Buyers who recommend us tend to say so plainly. In a February 2026 Google review, Breanna L. wrote: “I wanna thank everyone there Mark,Steve and Mason, Mason was absolutely so kind and informative and confident even when i wasn’t they made the impossible possible and would 100% recommend going here if your looking for a car and want trustful help by your side!”

In a November 2024 Google review, Fay K. wrote: “My experience at this dealership was awesome. I would recommend anyone to come here. The staff go above and beyond to ensure you that you are taking care of.”

Customers praise our service team for clear updates, quick routine visits and a clean waiting area. We book service online, our technicians are ASE-certified, and parts, tires and collision services stand behind the work.
