How to Choose a Kia Dealer Near Littlefield, Texas
Ask which Kia dealer is best near Littlefield and you are asking for a contest that does not exist. Littlefield has no Kia franchise, and Lubbock has only one.
So the real question is whether that one store earns the drive. Here are the checks, in order, with our own figures, so you can judge the trip before you make it.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Lubbock. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
Littlefield has no Kia franchise, and Lubbock has just one
The closest Kia franchise to Littlefield is Group 1 Kia Hub City at 6006 19th Street in Lubbock, and no other Kia franchise operates in the city. That means you are not picking between Kia stores. You are deciding whether this one is worth the trip.
We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Kia vehicles, and we run service, parts, and financing on site. The lineup runs from the K4 and K5 sedans through the Seltos, Sportage, Sorento, and Telluride SUVs and the Carnival, plus the EV3, EV6, EV9, and Niro EV. Kia America sold 852,155 vehicles in 2025, its first year past 800,000 (Kia America, 2025), so the brand is easy to find on the road. Finding a franchise that sells and services it near Littlefield is the harder part.
The Gene Messer Kia store on 19th Street is now Group 1 Kia Hub City
If you search the old name, you will find the right store. Gene Messer Kia became Group 1 Kia Hub City at the same address, 6006 19th Street, and much of the third-party listing record still carries the old name.
That matters when you check reviews and listings. Some pages say Gene Messer Kia, some say Group 1 Kia Hub City, and both point to the same building on the west side of Lubbock. We would rather you know that before you start comparing, so a listing under the old name does not look like a second dealer.
Read the Google record before you commit to the drive
We hold a 4.5 Google rating across 2,045 reviews, and 1,659 of them are five-star. Read what reviewers describe, because a rating tells you how many people were happy and the words tell you why.
Start with what buyers say about the price conversation. In a July 2026 Google review, Scott H. wrote: “By the end of the visit, I was confident that I was getting a fair deal which had not been my experience with a previous dealership in Dallas.” Then look at how buyers describe the people. In an August 2026 Google review, Liz T. wrote: “The entire process was smooth, easy, and surprisingly quick.”
Use a short checklist when you read the record:
- Names: Reviewers who name the person who helped them are describing a real visit.
- Price: Look for what buyers say about the number they were quoted and whether it held.
- Trade: Look for comments on how the trade was valued.
- Service: Look for what owners say after the sale, because you will come back.
Settle price, trade value, and pre-approval online before you leave town
Do the money steps from home, then drive over to finish. You can shop our inventory, value your trade, and get pre-approved online, so the trip to 19th Street is the last step and not the first.
Buyers want this mix. In the Cox Automotive Car Buyer Journey Study, 63% of recent buyers said blending online and in-dealership steps would be the ideal way to buy (Cox Automotive, 2026). You do not have to buy online, but you should not drive an hour or more to start from zero.
Do the trade first. Edmunds found 28.2% of trade-ins in July 2025 carried negative equity, with buyers owing an average of $6,902 above the vehicle’s value (Edmunds, 2025). If you owe more than your vehicle is worth, you want to know that at your kitchen table. In a June 2026 Google review, Brooke R. described the result at our store as “a more than fair trade in for our vehicle.”
Get the full price in writing on the exact vehicle
Ask for the price and every fee on one specific vehicle, in writing, before you leave Littlefield. Our pricing follows the market, and we show price and terms on the exact unit you choose, so ask for the sheet and read every line.
Here is what to check on that sheet:
| Line on the sheet | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Vehicle price | It matches the exact vehicle and trim you chose |
| Trade value | It matches the online valuation you were given |
| Documentary fee | Texas sets no dollar cap, so ask the amount |
| Sales tax | 6.25% of the price, less your trade-in allowance |
| Finance terms | Rate, term, and payment match your pre-approval |
Two of those lines have rules behind them. Texas has no hard cap on a dealer documentary fee, but a seller does not have to file a notification and cost analysis for a fee of $225 or less, and must file both for anything above it (Texas OCCC, 2024). Texas motor vehicle sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller, 2026), so a fair trade value lowers your tax bill as well as your price.
Multi-brand lot near Littlefield may have used Kia but isn’t Kia franchise
A multi-brand lot in Littlefield may have a used Kia on the ground, and that can be worth a look. It is still not a Kia franchise, so it does not sell new Kia vehicles, and you should ask what is behind a used one.
The one that matters most is certification. Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must be less than six years old with 80,000 miles or fewer, and they pass a 165-point inspection by a Kia factory trained dealer technician, with a Carfax report run as part of it (Kia America, 2026). So when someone says a used Kia is certified, ask whether it is Kia Certified Pre-Owned and ask to see the inspection.
We carry new, used, and certified pre-owned Kia inventory in one store. If you want to see how a certified Kia compares with a regular used one, that comparison is easy to make at our lot.
Weigh the drive and one store’s inventory before you go
Here is the honest cost of choosing us. We are in Lubbock, so you will make a drive from Littlefield, and we are one store, so our inventory is one store’s. If you want to see the same Kia on two lots, you would have to leave Lubbock to do it.
Use this table to decide how much to settle before you leave:
| Your situation | Settle this first |
|---|---|
| You have a trade-in | Value it online and compare it to what you owe |
| You need financing | Get pre-approved so terms are set before the visit |
| You want one exact Kia | Confirm that unit is in stock, with price and terms on it |
| You want a certified used Kia | Ask for the Kia Certified Pre-Owned inspection report |
Buyers say the visit goes quickly when the steps are done ahead. In a September 2026 Google review, Liz T. described the process: no long wait, approved, and out the door. The more you settle online, the shorter the trip needs to be.

What a Littlefield buyer should decide
