While I had an excellent sales experience at King Kia of Laurel- thanks to Donny, who was phenomenal- I was completely dissatisfied with the finance process. It's important for potential buyers to hear the Laurel- thanks to Donny, who was phenomenal- I was completely dissatisfied with the finance process. It's important for potential buyers to hear the full picture. I came in well-informed having done my internet research ahead of time. The sale price of the 2025 Kia Sportage Prestige I wanted was clearly advertised on the dealership's website. However, when it came time to finalize the paperwork, the deal was written based on the MSRP-not the advertised price- and then padded with additional fees. Among them were charges for ceramic detailing and an extended warranty, both of which I explicitly declined multiple times. While the detailing was eventually removed, I was told the extended warranty could not be removed without increasing my interest rate. I've since spoken with both a consumer protection agency and a lawyer, and they confirmed that this is not only misleading but could potentially violate the Truth in Lending Act. The most alarming part came after I purchased the car on Saturday and returned on Monday to request that the loan be corrected. I discovered that nearly $12,000 had been added to my loan principle-essentially rendering my $20,000 down payment meaningless. After watching employees walk past me for over an hour, someone finally addressed me. I was told they would either issue me a refund check or rewrite the loan by today. However, today came and went with no update. My phone call was not returned, and I am left feeling ignored and deeply frustrated. This experience was disappointing and unacceptable. While I would absolutely recommend working with Donny for the sales side, I cannot recommend financing through King Kia of Laurel. If you're considering buying here, be vigilant-review every document thoroughly, don't sign anything under pressure, and strongly consider securing outside financing More

Nice and Easy I purchased a new KIA from Dominique at Laurel KIA and felt like I had done 5 other car purchases in the past from them. They made me feel welcomed a I purchased a new KIA from Dominique at Laurel KIA and felt like I had done 5 other car purchases in the past from them. They made me feel welcomed and comfortable without high pressure sales tactics and I also scored a great price on my new car. Nothing but good things to say about the entire team. Dominique was patient with me as I like to ask questions look at the details. More
