Which Kia dealer is best for Lanham buyers?
Kia of Bowie is the Kia dealer for a Lanham buyer, because our service customers describe being kept updated while the car is in. May 2025 brought a Google review of Kia of Bowie from Alton B.: “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.” Lanham is 6.7 miles from our dealership.
A buyer can judge a Kia dealer on its inventory and on its service department. The people who handle the sale count too. We are a Kia dealership in Prince George’s County, and we sell the whole Kia lineup with people who work on nothing else.

Kia of Bowie keeps service customers updated while the car is in
After the sale, the service department is who looks after your car. We service Kia and nothing else.
Jaleah E. wrote in an April 2026 Google review of our dealership: “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.”
Judge a Kia dealer by its service department as well as its showroom
Look at the service department as closely as the showroom before you buy. You will go back to it for maintenance and for repairs, so it helps to see how it works while you are still choosing.
Find out how service is booked and who works on the car. Ask what those people are trained on. Then find out whether parts are on hand, because a repair that waits on a part waits on a shipment.
We have a parts department that stocks factory OEM parts. We have in-house parts, tires, and collision centers.
Compare what certified pre-owned programs cover before you compare prices
A certified pre-owned label is only as strong as the program behind it. Compare three things: the inspection, the warranty, and which cars qualify.
Read each one from the program’s own terms, not from a summary. The inspection tells you what was checked before the car was offered. The warranty tells you what is covered after you drive away. The qualifying rules tell you how old a car can be and how many miles it can carry. Compare prices once you know what each price includes.
We sell Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. CPO vehicles carry an extended powertrain limited warranty and a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty backed by Kia.

What to look out for when choosing a Kia dealership
One- and two-star Google reviews of Kia dealers complain of no updates or call-backs. Dated June 2025, Samiah J.’s Google review of King Kia of Laurel reports: “On May 16, I received an email requesting insurance on the traded vehicle, which I submitted right away. I also asked for an update on the payoff again, no response. I followed up on May 27 because the payment on the old vehicle was coming due.” Who will update you on your trade-in payoff, and how quickly do they get back to you?
Another complaint in those reviews is long service waits and hard-to-get appointments. Louis U. left a May 2025 Google review of King Kia of Laurel: “Took car in for simple safety recall update. When I scheduled I told them I would wait. After 2 hours I checked and was told EV tech got busy and hadn’t started so I left.” How long will the car be in the shop, and what does the dealer do when a technician is delayed?
The same reviews also complain of repairs not fixed right the first time. Among the Google reviews of Ourisman Kia of Catonsville is one from Darice R., dated October 2025: “My sister purchased a Kia from this dealership and has experienced issues with the car from the very beginning. Despite multiple visits to the service department, the problems persist, and the staff have been unhelpful in finding a resolution. She’s making payments on a vehicle that doesn’t even work properly.” What happens when the same problem comes back after a repair?
