Which Kia dealer is best for Old Town Bowie buyers?
Kia of Bowie is the Kia dealer for an Old Town Bowie buyer, because we have the most Google reviews of three Kia dealers. Old Town Bowie is 5.2 miles from our dealership.
When you choose a Kia dealer, judge the inventory first. Then judge the service work that looks after the car once it is yours, and the people who handle the sale. We are a Kia dealership in Prince George’s County that sells new, used, and certified pre-owned Kia vehicles and runs service, parts, and financing on site. The whole lineup is sold and serviced by people who work on nothing else.

Buyers name the salespeople at Kia of Bowie who looked after them
A car sale is handled by people, and a buyer meets them before meeting the paperwork. We sell and service only Kia, so the people who help you choose a vehicle know that one lineup well.
Corrin J. left a March 2025 Google review of Kia of Bowie: “My experience was excellent. From the moment I arrived at the Kia dealership, the staff was welcoming and attentive. The salesman that helped me, Earl, was extremely patient and possessed a large amount of knowledge surrounding Kia’s inventory. I highly recommend using Earl at Kia of Bowie to buy any vehicle.”
Among our Google reviews is one from Deborah S., dated February 2025: “I’ve had 37 cars from various Dealerships and by far Earl Ward is the #1 salesperson. He catered to what I needed in purchasing my new vehicle. He was assisted by Stephan who helped when Earl went to pickup my new car from another dealership. This kia dealership in Bowie Maryland is the bomb! It’s good to see teamwork in action!”
Customers describe a fair, clearly explained price at Kia of Bowie
A buyer should be able to follow the price from the first number to the last. Maryland sets the maximum dealer processing charge at $800 by statute (Maryland General Assembly, 2026). We favor guidance over selling and support over pressure.
January 2026 brought a Google review of our dealership from Daniel M.: “Best car buying experience ever with Amy She was the best didn’t have to haggle price she was straight forward and honest”
New, used and certified pre-owned Kia models are for sale at Kia of Bowie
Inventory is the first thing a buyer can judge a dealer on: what is on offer, and how the used cars are checked before they are sold. Kia’s lineup also carries safety weight, with five Kia models holding the IIHS 2026 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award (IIHS, 2026).
We have a pre-owned inventory that includes vehicles such as the Kia K5 and Kia Sorento, and those vehicles go through inspections. Our Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles get a 165-point inspection done by factory-trained technicians.
We sell new Kia models, among them the Seltos, K4, Carnival MPV, Sportage and K5.
Kia of Bowie keeps service customers updated while the car is in
Buying the car starts the relationship, and the service lane is where an owner spends the most time with a dealer afterward. We want a service department worth returning to, and the people at the desk are a large part of that.
Thirty-two of our Google reviews mention an oil change (Google, 2026). Brittany W. shared a July 2026 Google review of our dealership: “Lauren was polite and professional. She kept me updated on the status of my vehicle and answered any of my questions. I went in for a tire rotation and oil change and I decided to wait there. The lobby area was clean and comfortable and I waited for about an 1 1/2.”
Judy F. gave us a September 2024 Google review: “Our service representative, Ron, was very professional and efficient. We were kept aware of the status of our vehicle in a very timely manner and updated on all service recommendations.”
Judge a Kia dealer by its service department as well as its showroom
An owner comes back to a dealer for maintenance and repairs, so the service side deserves a look before you sign anything. See how service is booked, and whether you can book it in a way that suits your week.
Find out who works on the car and what training they hold. Ask whether the parts a repair needs are kept on hand or have to be ordered in, because that decides how long a car stays on the lift.
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 car is only as good as the program behind it. Compare the inspection, the warranty, and which cars qualify, and read each from the program’s own terms.
Put the same questions to every dealer, and ask for the full out-the-door figure in writing. Maryland’s vehicle tax carries no county or city add-on (Maryland General Assembly, 2026), which leaves the program terms and the dealer’s own charges as the places where offers differ.
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. An April 2026 Google review of King Kia of Laurel from Jared M. reads: “It just occurred to me as I sift through all of their emails trying to get me in the door for service….I never once got a follow up call after buying the car to make sure that I was happy. It’s been almost two years.” How does a dealer follow up after the sale?
Another complaint in those reviews is long service waits and hard-to-get appointments. Rachel T. posted a February 2026 Google review of King Kia of Laurel: “I went a ran errands and came back an my care was not ready. I asked about the eta of my car and they said it was just going back (after 2 hours). My car took 4 hours to be serviced just for an oil change.” What is the usual wait for an oil change, and how far ahead do appointments book?
The same reviews also complain of repairs not fixed right the first time. Dated September 2025, David N.’s Google review of King Kia of Laurel reports: “Also everything we take our cars in for service. It’s handed back to us with problems. They handed my car back to me with a locking issue on my car which wasn’t a problem before and the shattered glass still in my car from someone trying to steal it.” If a repair does not hold, what does the dealer do about it?
