What is the service department like at Kia of Bowie in Bowie, MD?

Owners in Prince George’s County who need routine maintenance or a warranty repair want to know what a service visit is like before they book. Kia of Bowie’s service department is built for the Kia owner who wants the job booked online, done by ASE-certified technicians, and kept on track with clear updates.

The customer reviews show what that looks like from the owner’s seat, from the first booking through pickup. The parts, tire and collision work on site means one stop covers most of what a Kia needs.

Is Kia of Bowie’s service department worth returning to?

Yes. Kia of Bowie’s service department is one Kia owners keep returning to, and its own customers bring it up more often than the showroom. We hold a 4.4 Google rating across 1,460 reviews, 1,162 of them five-star, about 80%.

Service and parts sales exceeded $164 billion at dealerships in 2025 (NADA Data, 2025), which shows the service drive carries dealer business alongside the showroom. For an owner choosing where to take a car, that means the service side is where a dealer’s work is judged most often.

Owners who write about a visit tend to describe the people who handled it. In an April 2026 Google review, Matt R. wrote: “Great service, communication, attention to detail, and environment provided by Donald in the service center. Donald ensured everything was easy, transparent and efficient. Highly recommend.”

A routine job shows the same standard. In an April 2026 Google review, Michele C. wrote: “Kia of Bowie service team provided timely and professional service for the oil change on my Kia Telluride. I really appreciated the ride service back home while I waited for my vehicle. I also like that they weren’t pushy with the recommended services. I declined and that was the end of it.”

What do Kia of Bowie customers say about service visits?

Customers who write four- and five-star reviews describe visits where the work gets done and they know where things stand. The reviews show that pattern across different kinds of jobs.

One visit with several jobs shows how quickly a repeat customer can be out the door. In a November 2024 Google review, Terance E. wrote: “I took my car in for a few recalls and a check engine light. I was in and out in just over 24 hours after getting four issues resolved. The experience was simple and smooth.”

Staff who keep the visit simple are the other half of that experience. In a July 2026 Google review, Alison B. wrote: “Extremely kind and helpful staff. Special thanks to Jeffrey, who answered all questions and helped coordinate my appointment. Would highly recommend for those wanting an oil change and oil filter replacement!”

Does Kia of Bowie keep you updated during a repair?

Yes. Customers praise the updates they get while the car is in our shop, and service appointments can be scheduled online. Once a car is in the shop, the updates are the one thing the owner cannot check for themselves.

On a multi-job visit, one customer said the team kept them informed as the work went on. In a June 2026 Google review, Todd F. wrote: “I was having issues with my vehicle vibrating and come to find out it was something with my tires. I had come in for the issue, 7 different recalls, and service. The service was for 300 dollars but since I had an eve they said it would only be 200 dollars. I had a lot to get done so they called a ride share and took me to the movies and called for a ride back. They got all that done and communicated with me along the way if there was any issues. So they calibrated all my tires, finished 7 recalls, wheel alignment, fixed the tires, replaced the air filter, did inspection, and more. They were very professional and nice. My service rep was Donald and he was great. Thank you all.”

Parts follow the same pattern. Parts can be ordered online for pickup, and we call when the order is ready.

One owner described an engine replaced under warranty at no cost. In a November 2025 Google review, Aleathia A. wrote: “Kia of Bowie has been my go to for car maintenance since I bought my car. The customer service is the best I’ve seen since I started buying cars. Jeremy and his team are responsive to customer needs and very respectful. Jeremy, the service manager, goes out of his way to make sure you get the service you need and is very honest about turnaround time for car service. I recently had my engine replaced at no cost to me because they were able to catch a problem early on and submitted the paperwork to Kia for the new engine. I was still under warranty for another 10,000 miles and because they had all my maintenance records the request was approved within a week. Within three weeks, I was back in my car and it’s driving like new. I don’t know if I would’ve had the same outcome if I had been taking my car somewhere else. Thanks Jeremy and the Kia of Bowie team for taking great care of me and my car!”

FAQ

What should I ask when I drop off my Kia for a repair?

Ask how you will hear about the job before you leave. In one- and two-star reviews of other Kia dealers, the most common complaint is calls, emails or messages that go unanswered, 41 of 217 such reviews. A 1-star review of a rival company, June 2025, put it this way: “Extremely poor customer service. Our first appointment was on 5/24/25, for a warranty repair and 2 recalls. The warranty repair and one recall were completed. Matthew scheduled an appointment for the following week to complete the other recall, since a part needed to be ordered. On 5/29/25, the day of the second appointment, after taking the day off, my husband was told that they couldn’t find the appointment on the schedule and that Matthew would be in later. He spoke with Matthew later that morning and was told that the part wasn’t ordered, and that he had to order it and would call back in about 5 hours. Did not hear back from Matthew. I called Lanham Kia the morning of 6/14/25 to see if the part was ordered and spoke with Matthew again. He told me that the part was on back order and he didn’t know when it would be in. Since the delivery date was unknown, I asked him what the part was so that I could check other dealerships in the area. He said that he had to look it up and would call me in 5 to 10 minutes because he had 3 people in front of him. After over 2 hours, I called back and Matthew was not available. I asked to speak with a manager and was told to give my name and number and the manager (Steve Williams) would call me back the same day. Never heard back from him. Extremely poor customer service. We will not be going back.”

At Kia of Bowie, parts can be ordered online for pickup, and we call when the order is ready. Ask how the team will reach you if a part is delayed, and get that answer before you leave.
