Kia Dealer Southport, Indiana
Car Shopping That Respects Your Time
Finding a Kia dealer near Southport, Indiana that treats you like a neighbor instead of a number should not take a full weekend of driving around. At Ray Skillman Southside Kia, we keep the process short, the answers honest, and the pressure off.
- New Kia models, certified pre-owned vehicles, and used cars from other brands all sit on one lot.
- Financing and trade-in help come from people who work with every kind of credit situation.
- Factory-trained technicians and a stocked parts counter keep your Kia running long after the sale.
Ray Skillman opened his first store on U.S. 31 back in 1979, and this stretch of highway has been home base ever since. Plenty has changed around Perry Township in the years that followed. The way we treat people who walk through the door has not.
Picking a Kia dealer really comes down to whether the folks behind the desk are straight with you. Whether you are replacing a commuter that finally gave out or shopping for your first SUV with a third row, we would rather ask questions than deliver a pitch.

Kia Dealer Southport, Indiana
Fresh Kia Models Worth Driving
The current Kia lineup covers a lot of ground. Small crossovers like the Seltos and Sportage handle daily errands, the Telluride and Carnival carry the whole family, and the EV6 and EV9 bring real all-electric range to drivers ready for it. Browse what is on the lot online, then come drive the ones that catch your eye.
Pre-Owned Options With Real Value
Not every budget calls for a brand-new car, and that is fine by us. Our used selection includes Kia Certified Pre-Owned models backed by extended factory coverage, plus quality trade-ins from other brands. Every vehicle gets inspected before it reaches the front line. Take a look online and tell us what stands out to you.
Financing Built Around Your Budget
Credit histories are rarely simple, and ours is a finance office that has seen just about all of them. We work with a wide range of lenders to secure terms that fit your monthly numbers rather than stretching them. Start the secure application from home and walk in with most of the paperwork already handled.
Trade Your Ride With Confidence
Your current vehicle is worth something, and putting that value toward the next one usually softens the payment more than people expect. Use our online trade tool for a starting figure, then bring the car by so we can confirm it in person. We handle the payoff and title work from there.
Service From Certified Kia Technicians
Oil changes, brake jobs, alignments, and the repairs nobody plans for all run through our service drive. Our technicians train on Kia vehicles specifically, so they know these engines and electronics without guessing. Schedule online at whatever hour works for you, and we will have a bay ready when you pull in.
Genuine Kia Parts On Hand
The parts counter stocks factory components built for your exact model, from filters and wiper blades to accessories that make a Kia feel more like yours. Doing the work yourself? Order what you need and grab it when it lands. Our team can also track down anything we do not keep on the shelf.
Kia Has Come a Long Way
Kia has earned its reputation the hard way over the past decade, and the vehicles are the reason. Bold styling, long warranty coverage, and one of the widest electrified lineups in the business have turned the brand into a genuine first choice rather than a fallback. A single test drive usually makes the case better than any sales sheet could.
The Kia Dealer Drivers Count On
Driving around here means U.S. 31, a fair amount of stop-and-go once the school buses are out, and a quick hop onto I-65 when the weekend calls for it. That mix shapes what we stock and how we advise. Here is a look at what sits on our lot and what our departments take care of.
