Car shopping should feel exciting, and we work hard to keep it that way. At Ray Skillman Southside Kia, we’ve earned a loyal following among Kia Indianapolis shoppers by listening first, answering questions honestly, and letting you set the pace.
We have deep roots on the south side. The Ray Skillman Auto Group opened its first store along South U.S. 31 back in 1979 and has since grown into one of the nation’s Top 100 dealers. That long history shows up in how we treat people today. You’ll find a relaxed showroom, a knowledgeable team, and a promise we take seriously. It’s better at Ray Skillman.
Our showroom carries the full current Kia lineup, so comparing body styles takes just one visit. Commuters often gravitate toward the K4 sedan or hatchback, while growing families test drive the Sorento, Carnival, and Telluride. Curious about going electric? The EV3, EV6, and EV9 are ready for a spin, along with several hybrids and plug-in hybrids. Browse our new models online anytime.
Buying pre-owned is a smart way to stretch your budget a little further. Our Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles each pass a 165-point inspection and carry a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty measured from the original in-service date. We also stock used cars, trucks, and SUVs from many other brands, which gives you plenty of solid choices across a wide range of price points.
Our finance team takes the time to explain every option before you sign anything. We work with national banks and local lenders to find competitive rates, and we help drivers across a wide range of budgets and credit histories. Thinking about leasing instead of buying? We’ll lay out both paths clearly. Get a head start with our secure online finance application today.
Your current vehicle could cover a nice chunk of your next down payment. Our online value-your-trade tool gives you a quick estimate in just a few minutes, right from your couch. When you arrive, our team looks over your car, truck, or SUV and makes a fair, competitive offer. Applying that value toward your next Kia keeps the numbers easy to follow.
Certified technicians handle everything from oil changes and tire rotations to wheel alignments, brake work, transmission service, and warranty repairs. Every repair job uses OEM parts. Need a quick oil change? Our Kia Express Service lane welcomes drivers without an appointment. For bigger jobs, our online scheduler makes booking simple, and you can relax in our lounge or drop off your Kia.
Like handling maintenance in your own garage? Our parts department stocks genuine Kia parts and accessories designed to match your vehicle’s original specifications. Tell our parts specialists what you need, and they’ll track down the correct piece so you can skip the guesswork at a generic parts store. You can also send a parts request through our website whenever it suits you.

Kia has built a strong following with bold styling, practical tech, and a standout warranty package. New models come with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile basic limited warranty. The EV6, EV9, and Telluride are assembled right here in the United States. Whether you’re merging onto I-465 at rush hour or loading up for a long weekend in Brown County, there’s a Kia sized for the trip.
We see ourselves as neighbors first. Over the years, the Ray Skillman Auto Group has given more than $3 million to schools, parks, food banks, and youth sports, much of it close to home, and we’re proud to sponsor the Drumstick Dash each Thanksgiving to benefit Wheeler Mission. Those local ties shape how we treat every customer who walks through our doors.
If your Kia search has you comparing options, we’d love to help you narrow things down. Stop by Ray Skillman Southside Kia, take a test drive, and see how relaxed the process can feel.
