Kia of Bowie is the Kia dealer for a Brown Station buyer. Our service customers describe being kept updated while the car is in. Alton B. shared a May 2025 Google review of Kia of Bowie:
“Fast, friendly and efficient service. I particularly like that they sent a text and email that provided an explanation of, and ability to approve or decline additional recommended services.”
Brown Station is 8.1 miles from our dealership.
Choosing a Kia dealer comes down to the inventory, the service department and the people who handle the sale. Each one is something a buyer can judge a dealer on. Kia of Bowie stands on all three.

Kia of Bowie’s sales team lets a Brown Station buyer decide at their own pace
In a May 2025 Google review of our dealership, Alex H. said:
“Earl Ward is our forever Kia salesman. He is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and is NOT pushy at all. He provides info on the vehicles you’re considering so that you, the consumer, can make a well informed decision. Thanks Earl for our first Kia! And if you’re in the market for a new Kia, go see Earl!”
Perisha W. reviewed us on Google in September 2025:
“No complaints here. Worked with Earl who was really patient with my purchase. I was able to ask a million questions and take time to make decisions without feeling as if I was being pushed. Love my new baby!”
Ask how a dealer books service and who works on your car
Before you buy, look at how the service department books appointments and who does the work. An owner comes back to that department for maintenance and repairs for as long as they keep the car, so the answers matter. Ask whether the technicians are factory trained for the make you are buying.
We have a parts department that stocks factory OEM parts.
Leasing suits a short stay and financing suits ownership
A buyer decides between leasing and financing by asking how long they plan to keep the car. A short stay points one way, and a plan to own the car points the other. Think about what you want at the end of the term before you sign.
We offer Kia leases, new Kia financing, and pre-owned car loans.
We have financing and leasing options for all credit levels.

Three complaints a Brown Station buyer can check before signing with a Kia dealer
Complaints about Kia dealers show up in one- and two-star Google reviews. The first is about updates that never arrive.
Ricky D. left a March 2026 Google review of J.B.A. Kia:
“I have called on multiple occasions and both sales managers that work in this store give me the run around every time I call. So I called the service department at both locations and they have no record of anything. Buyer beware if purchasing from this dealership.”
Ask the dealer who will call you back on a repair and how often you will hear from them.
The second complaint is about paperwork that stalls after the deal.
Among the Google reviews of Ourisman Kia of Bethesda is one from Kevin G., dated July 2026:
“This has been the most clumsily handled deal I’ve had and I’ve bought cars across multiple states/dealerships before. Not sure if this is Ourisman or Kia specifically, but I’m still not gotten a single document saying ‘pay here’ yet I’ve been driving the car for multiple weeks.”
Ask for a written list of every document you will sign and when you will receive the final title and registration.
The third complaint is about waiting for service.
April 2025 brought a Google review of DARCARS Kia of Lanham from Laya A.:
“It should have taken 30-45 mins to replace my tire, but instead I waited 2.5 hrs!! For one tire replacement! Terrible service, won’t be returning unless I’m super desperate.”
Ask how long a typical routine service visit takes and whether you can book an appointment ahead of time.
