Welcome to the 9th Island: Where Aloha Meets Automotive Excellence

Las Vegas has long been known as the Ninth Island, home to one of the largest Hawaiian communities outside of Hawaii. At Towbin Kia, we embrace this unique cultural connection and proudly serve as your 9th Island Dealer in Henderson, Nevada. Our commitment to the Hawaiian community goes beyond words. It is woven into everything we do, from how we greet customers to how we conduct business with integrity and respect.

The spirit of ohana, or family, is at the heart of our dealership. When you visit Towbin Kia, you are not just another transaction. You become part of our extended family. This philosophy has made us the preferred Kia dealer for Hawaiian families and anyone who appreciates genuine hospitality, transparent dealings, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.

Authentic Hawaiian Values in Every Interaction

What does it mean to be the 9th Island Dealer? It means bringing the values of aloha, kokua, and ohana to the car-buying experience. Aloha is more than a greeting. It represents love, compassion, and mutual respect. Kokua means helping others without expecting anything in return. Ohana reminds us that family comes first, and at Towbin Kia, every customer is family.

These values guide our team every single day. Our staff understands the importance of building lasting relationships rather than making quick sales. We take the time to listen to your needs, answer your questions thoroughly, and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Whether you are shopping for a new Kia Carnival for your growing family or a Kia Sportage for weekend adventures, we treat you with the same care and respect we would show our own family members.

Our connection to the Hawaiian community is genuine and deep-rooted. We understand the unique needs of families who maintain strong ties to the islands while building their lives in Las Vegas. Many of our team members share this cultural background and bring authentic understanding to every interaction. This cultural competency creates a comfortable environment where you can shop with confidence, knowing you are understood and valued.

A Dealership That Celebrates Island Culture

At Towbin Kia, we do not just talk about being the 9th Island Dealer. We live it. Our dealership regularly participates in community events that celebrate Hawaiian culture throughout the Las Vegas Valley. We support local organizations that serve the Pacific Islander community and create opportunities for cultural connection and celebration.

Our inventory reflects the practical needs of island families. We maintain the largest selection of new Kia vehicles in Nevada, including spacious SUVs and minivans perfect for large families and group outings. The Kia Telluride offers three rows of comfortable seating, while the Kia Carnival Hybrid provides exceptional fuel efficiency without sacrificing space. These vehicles are designed for the way island families live, with room for everyone and everything you need.

We also understand the importance of value and reliability. Many families in the Hawaiian community work hard to provide for their loved ones, and we respect that by offering transparent pricing and honest guidance. Our finance team works with over fifty lenders to find competitive rates that fit your budget. We never pressure you into unnecessary add-ons or extended warranties. Instead, we present your options clearly and let you make the decision that is right for your family.

Service and Support That Honors Your Trust

The ohana spirit extends well beyond the initial sale. Our service department is staffed by Kia-certified technicians who treat your vehicle with the same care they would give their own. We know that reliable transportation is essential for getting to work, taking kids to school, and staying connected with family and friends. That is why we perform every service correctly the first time and stand behind our work with pride.

Convenience is also important to busy families. You can easily schedule service online at a time that works for your schedule. Our service advisors take the time to explain what your vehicle needs and why, ensuring you understand the maintenance required to keep your Kia running smoothly for years to come. We also offer genuine Kia parts with local delivery throughout the Las Vegas area, making it easy to get what you need when you need it.

For families considering Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, we offer an extensive selection that meets the highest standards. Each CPO Kia passes a comprehensive 165-point inspection and comes with a transferable warranty, giving you peace of mind and exceptional value. This commitment to quality reflects our respect for your hard-earned money and your trust in us.
