Which Kia dealer is best for Crofton buyers?
Crofton buyers looking for a Kia will find dealers all over the Washington and Baltimore corridor. Crofton is 4.7 miles from our dealership. We are Kia of Bowie, and the case for buying here comes from what our customers write.
The Kia Telluride is the model our reviewers name most, and they keep coming back to how we handle the sale, the price, and the service after it. Kia of Bowie is the right Kia dealer for a Crofton buyer, and our customers show why.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Bowie. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
The Kia Telluride is the model our Google reviewers name most
Reviewers of Kia of Bowie raise the Kia Telluride more than any other subject, at 37 mentions in Google’s topic counts (Google, 2026). Warranty coverage comes next at 36, then oil changes at 32. Buyers talk about the three-row SUV first, then about the care it gets afterward.
| What reviewers raise | Mentions in Google reviews |
|---|---|
| Kia Telluride | 37 |
| Warranty coverage | 36 |
| Oil change | 32 |
| EV6 | 11 |
The Telluride sits inside the full Kia lineup we sell: the K4 and K5 sedans, the Seltos, Sportage, Sorento, and Telluride, the Carnival, and the EV3, EV6, EV9, and Niro EV. A Crofton buyer who comes in for the Telluride can see the whole family in one store. The EV6 shows up in our reviews too, so electric shoppers are not an afterthought here.
Kia of Bowie holds 1,460 Google reviews at 4.4 stars
We have 1,460 Google reviews (Google, 2026). That gives a Crofton buyer a wide record to read before setting foot in a showroom.
Our rating is 4.4 stars, and 80% of those reviews are five-star (Google, 2026). Read enough of them and the same things come up: salespeople and service advisors named by first name, and buyers who say they would send friends. That is the record we want you to weigh.
You can value your trade and apply for financing online before you visit
You can browse new, used, and certified pre-owned Kia online, value your trade with our online trade tool, and submit a secure finance application before you visit. We also offer a fully online car-buying experience through AcceleRide.
Reviewers tell us the salesperson across the desk knows the car. Michelle J. wrote in August 2026, in a Google review of Kia of Bowie, about the 2025 Kia Sorento bought here: “My salesman earl is the bomb.com very professional and is very knowledgeable about the 2025 kia sorento I purchased. I would recommend if you are looking to purchase a kia please go see my guy a kia bowie. You wont be disappointed.”
We guide, we do not push. Straight answers on price, trade value, and financing come before any paperwork.
Trade value and fees are clear before you sign at Kia of Bowie
Our online trade tool takes a license plate, a VIN, or a make and model and returns a price that is valid for seven days or up to 250 miles. Our advertised prices include a $799 dealer doc fee, and Maryland caps the dealer processing charge at $800 and requires the sales contract to say the charge is not required by law (Maryland General Assembly, 2026).
That is the standard we work to on every deal. In a March 2026 Google review of Kia of Bowie, Kevin B. described the experience: “I purchased a car from the dealership. The experience with the sales woman was extremely nice. Her name is Amy, I would like to give her her flowers and say job well done. I found the sales manager. Steve and finance associates to work hard to make the deal fair. I would feel comfortable sending business to Kia of Bowie.”
You should know what each line on the paper is before you sign it.
New, used, and certified pre-owned Kia sit in one store
We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Kia in one place, so a Crofton buyer can compare all three on one visit. A Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicle has passed a 165-point inspection by a Kia factory-trained technician (Kia America, 2026).
That matters when the budget points toward used. You can look at a certified Sportage or Sorento beside a new one, ask about the difference, and get an answer from people who work on nothing but Kia. If the Telluride is your target, ask about it first, because it is the model our reviewers raise most.
Kia of Bowie is at 16620 Governor Bridge Road, with separate sales, service, and parts hours
Crofton is one of the towns we serve first, and the store is at 16620 Governor Bridge Rd, Bowie, MD 20716.
Sales, service, and parts keep separate hours, so check the day’s hours before you head over, especially if you are coming for service or a parts pickup.
What you can see once you arrive:
- New Kia. We sell the K4, K4 Hatchback, K5, Seltos, Sportage, Sorento, Telluride, Carnival, Niro, EV6, EV9, and EV3, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions where Kia offers them.
- Used Kia. Our pre-owned inventory includes vehicles such as the Kia K5 and Kia Sorento, and each one comes with a detailed history report.
- Certified pre-owned Kia. We sell Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, and each comes with a free vehicle history report.
Stock changes day to day. If you have a model in mind, such as the Telluride, look at the live inventory online first, then come to the Governor Bridge Road store to see it.
Service and warranty work is the story our reviewers tell right after the Telluride
Our reviewers bring up service almost as often as they bring up the Telluride. Our service center offers maintenance and repair, including oil changes, tire service, battery service, and brake repair, with ASE-certified technicians and genuine Kia parts, so the store that sells you the car is the store that keeps it running.
Wes B. wrote in a September 2026 Google review of Kia of Bowie: “I received excellent service today and my Don, my service rep, again was professional and courteous.” The review says the rep was professional and courteous “again,” which is the kind of note a returning customer leaves.
Kia backs a new vehicle with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty (Kia, 2026).
Kia of Bowie service advisors are thanked by name
When your Kia needs a service visit, the advisor you deal with shapes the day.
Two of our advisors got a thank-you by name in a July 2026 Google review of Kia of Bowie, written by Jen B.: “Mike & Jeremy were wonderful service advisors!! Thank you for making my experience a pleasant one. They took great care of my car and had my Uber called when I needed a ride to and from work. I’m so grateful to have found them. Thanks Kia of Bowie!!!”
What to look out for when choosing a Kia dealership
Recent one- and two-star Google reviews of the area’s Kia dealers cluster around three complaints. Here is each one, with a question to ask any dealer.
No updates or call-backs. This was the main complaint in 18% of 209 recent one- and two-star reviews of the area’s Kia dealers. In a January 2026 Google review of Ourisman Kia of Bethesda, Selva M. wrote: “After I left the showroom, communication completely stopped. I have been trying for over a month to obtain my second key, and I have also received no response regarding my license plate. This has been the worst customer service experience I’ve had.” Ask any dealer who will update you after you leave the showroom, and how you can reach that person.
Financing, paperwork, title and registration problems. These drove 14% of the same 209 reviews. Eswar G. wrote in a December 2025 Google review of Ourisman Kia of Bethesda: “When I came to pick up my tags, I asked if I can talk to manager, front desk said no. There is no one who can talk to me. Kia corporate called me to apologize and promised to give my money back for sending the tags.” Ask any dealer who will handle your tags and title after the sale, and when.
Rude or dismissive staff. This accounts for 13% of those reviews. Yu C. reviewed Ourisman Kia of Bethesda on Google in April 2026: “The manager was unprofessional, pushy, and dismissive of my concerns. When I pointed out specific issues with the vehicle, instead of addressing them, the manager actually challenged me and became defensive. Buying a car should be a transparent process, not a confrontation.” Ask any dealer whether the price, fees, and terms will be put in writing before you agree to anything.
