Which Kia dealer is best for Kentland buyers?
Kia of Bowie is the Kia dealer for a Kentland buyer, because we have collected more Google reviews than any of the other three Kia dealers serving Kentland. Kentland is 9.1 miles from our dealership.
Choosing a Kia dealer comes down to things a buyer can judge for themselves. The inventory is one: whether a dealer sells new, used, and certified pre-owned Kias, and how wide a range it carries. The service department is another, because an owner returns to it for maintenance and repairs. The people handling the sale are the third, and a buyer can tell whether they inform or push. We put guidance over selling, we run our service and financing on site, and we are a Kia-only dealership in Prince George’s County.

Kentland owners get timely maintenance and a say on extra work at Kia of Bowie
The service department is part of the purchase. Prince George’s County is one of only 14 Maryland jurisdictions that require an emissions test every two years, at a $30 test fee (Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, 2026). We run service on site, and we want it to be a department worth returning to.
Dated April 2026, Jaleah E.’s Google review of Kia of Bowie reports: “I absolutely love this specific dealership, I come here for all my maintenance. They are the most timely and communicative and I appreciate that very much.”
Alton B. left a May 2025 Google review of our dealership: “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.”
At Kia of Bowie, a Kentland buyer’s price conversation is direct and haggle-free
Price and paperwork show how a dealer handles a sale. In Maryland, the vehicle tax carries no county or city add-on, because state law bars a political subdivision from taxing the issuance of a title (Maryland General Assembly, 2026). We handle financing on site, as part of the same sale.
Among our Google reviews is one from Daniel M., dated January 2026: “Best car buying experience ever with Amy She was the best didn’t have to haggle price she was straight forward and honest”
Kia of Bowie gives Kentland shoppers pre-owned and new Kias to compare
A buyer judging inventory is judging the range a dealer can put a buyer in. In the 2026 U.S. Initial Quality Study, the Kia Carnival ranked highest in the minivan segment and the Kia K4 ranked highest in the compact car segment (JD Power, 2026). We sell the whole Kia lineup.
Our pre-owned inventory includes vehicles such as the Kia K5 and Kia Sorento, and those vehicles go through inspections.
On the new side, we sell the Seltos, K4, Carnival MPV, Sportage, and K5.
Kentland buyers get information, patience, and room to decide at Kia of Bowie
Our sales work is guidance and support, with no pressure. A buyer choosing a Kia dealer is also choosing the people across the desk. We help people move forward at a pace that suits them.
May 2025 brought a Google review of our dealership from Alex H.: “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. shared a September 2025 Google review of our dealership: “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 who services your Kia, how visits get booked, and what parts are on hand
An owner comes back to the service department for maintenance and repairs, so it is worth judging before you buy. Ask how an appointment is made and who actually works on the car. A dealer with a settled answer to both has thought about the owner, not only the sale.
Ask about parts as well. A shop that keeps parts on hand can start work without sending the car away to wait for them.
We have a parts department that stocks factory OEM parts. We also have in-house parts, tires, and collision centers.
Swap cars often or keep them for good? That sets lease against loan
Leasing and financing answer different questions. How long you plan to keep the car, and what you want when the term ends, point you toward one or the other. A buyer who wants to own the car and drive it as long as it runs is shopping for a loan. A buyer who prefers to hand the car back and start fresh is shopping for a lease.
Budget for insurance either way: full coverage in Maryland averages $3,638 per year (Insurify, 2026).
We offer Kia leases, new Kia financing, and pre-owned car loans. We have financing and leasing options for all credit levels.
Kia of Bowie finishes first in Google reviews among Kentland’s four Kia dealers
We have 1,460 Google reviews (Google, 2026), more than any of the three other Kia dealers serving Kentland.
| Dealer | Google rating | Google reviews |
|---|---|---|
| Kia of Bowie | 4.4 | 1,460 |
| DARCARS Kia of Lanham | 4 | 614 |
| DARCARS Kia of Temple Hills | 4.1 | 910 |
| King Kia of Laurel | 4 | 1,042 |
Watch for these three dealer failures, and put one question to each
One- and two-star Google reviews of Kia dealers complain, among other things, about no updates or call-backs. David R. reviewed DARCARS Kia of Lanham on Google in April 2026: “Service department called to tell me about extra service but never called when car was completed. By the time I called to find out, it was too late to make it to pick up my car before they closed. They dropped the ball on notifying me when it was finished.” Who will tell me the moment my car is finished, and how will I hear about extra work?
A buyer can also run into financing, paperwork, title and registration problems. A May 2025 Google review of King Kia of Laurel from Anna O. reads: “It’s May and they have yet to register my car or have plates sent to me. They also have yet to send me an actual bill. They have called me and informed me that my bill is past due asking for immediate payment over the phone, which I comply with.” When will my plates, title, and final bill reach me, and who handles the filing?
Then there are long service waits and hard-to-get appointments. Laya A. posted an April 2025 Google review of DARCARS Kia of Lanham: “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.” How long does a tire replacement take, and how far ahead do I need to book?

What should I bring when I buy a Kia?

How do I compare two offers on the same Kia?
Put the full price from each offer side by side, fees included, along with the monthly payment and the length of the term. Ask for each offer in writing so the lines match up. A lower payment can hide a longer term, so compare the total you would pay.
