Close Kia Service Center near Ames, IA
Getting routine maintenance and repairs for your Kia is the best way to ensure it stays in good working condition for as long as possible. However, you don’t want to take your Kia K4, Seltos, or Sportage to a random quick lube place. Learn why bringing your car to a branded service center, like ours at Kia of Des Moines, is the best path forward for your vehicle.
Branded Dealership Service Center Benefits
Using a branded dealership service center helps protect your vehicle by giving you access to certified technicians. They have been trained to the high standards that Kia has set forth, so they know your specific make and model inside and out. Another benefit that you get when having a Kia dealership see to your vehicle’s needs is that they have better access to OEM parts, which fit better and last longer in most cases. You should also be aware that many manufacturer warranties are only valid if certain upkeep and repairs are performed at a branded dealer. In short, bringing your vehicle to us ensures you can optimize its capabilities on the roads of Ames with less downtime.

For example, we have a refreshing waiting area with internet access and coffee, allowing you to catch up on your emails while we fix up your car.

Testimonials
“ Got my second Kia this week and couldn’t be happier! Bought my Forte in 2019 new and just traded it in for a 2026 Sportage. Bill Stone and the whole team was great to work with. Can’t recommend enough! ”
“ I had a great experience buying my new 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid! It was my first car buying experience since my father passed 1.5 years ago; JR and Phil took time to answer my questions and listen to my thoughts and concerns. Aaron made the signing papers fun and easy. Jacob made sure I could drive away comfortable with the important features. Together they made a great team and I will be sure to be getting it serviced there too. Best and easiest car buying experience ever! ”
“ Very efficient very respectful. Had the car and paperwork ready for us. ”
“ We just purchased a new 2027 Telluride hybrid SX procedure we ordered it from Jeff. It came in two weeks before he said it would which was nice. We went through the process of paying for it and then They showed us everything we needed to know on to have very thoroughly. It’s a good place to do business. I’m saying this with some experience I bought over 40 new cars in my lifetime and this is one of the better processes. ”

“ We had a great experience getting into a lease with Kia of Des Moines. We were in and out quickly, had our paperwork done promptly, and everything explained to us. More importantly we got into a payment we could afford that was better than the competition. We considered Toyota and Ford. Toyota has struggled with inventory that fit our needs, and Ford has stopped producing Sedans. Regardless, we are pleased with Kia. ”
“ I recently purchased a 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid from Kia of Des Moines. I test drove the vehicle and obtained a quote for my current vehicle trade-in and within an hour we made a deal. It was a smooth process and there was no pressure from the salesman Jeff Davis. I didn't have a check or my current vehicle title with me, so they allowed me to make a wire transfer from my bank and I drove my new vehicle home that day. I returned the following day with the title for my old vehicle. It was a great experience not only with the sales staff, but also with Jim Voss in finance and with Jacob Kline in delivery who set up my new vehicle. I appreciated the fact that no one pushed an extended warranty program which a lot of dealers do these days. Kia already has an awesome warranty program. ”

“ Had a great experience at Kia of Des Moines buying my 2026 K4 GT-Line Premium. My salesman JR was good, honest, and patient through the whole process. He worked hard to get me the right car at the right price and rate, and treated me with respect. It was month-end and the dealership was really busy, so we didn’t get to take the traditional photo with the flower on top of the car. But that’s all good and totally understandable. Before we left, one of the managers came over, shook my hand, and thanked us for our business. That kind of personal touch meant a lot, especially on such a hectic day. JR and the whole team at Kia of Des Moines were professional from start to finish. If you’re in Des Moines looking for a Kia, ask for JR. Highly recommend! ”
“ I purchased a new Kia K5 GT Line from Kia of Des Moines after my daughter’s 2023 Kia K5 was rear ended by an uninsured motorist. I’ve purchased many vehicles in my lifetime and I have to say this was the easiest and unpressured car buying experience I’ve ever had. Thank You to Kia of Des Moines staff and or salesman JR. Best Always, Jeff ”

I have never had a car salesman work as hard as he did. He provided top notch customer service. But it didn’t end there. Signing the financial paperwork was quick and seamless. Also, the tutorial that I received at the end of the purchase was also a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend Kia of Des Moines if anyone is looking for a great vehicle and even better customer service. ”
