Big news is rolling in from the west side of Indianapolis. A brand new Kia store is in the works up in Boone County, complete with a bigger showroom, more parking, and a fresh name on the sign. If you shop or service with us, the details below cover what shifts and what stays exactly the same.

  • Our west-side Kia store will relocate to Whitestown and take on the name Ray Skillman Kia of Whitestown.
  • No firm opening date has been announced yet, so bookmark this page and check back as the timeline gets nailed down.
  • Your warranty coverage, service records, and the crew you already know all make the trip with us.

The short version? We’re headed north. We’ve got plans in the works for a roughly 30,500-square-foot Kia dealership and showroom with close to 600 parking spaces. The new site will include service bays, a car wash, detailing, a parts department, offices, and a covered drop-off and pick-up garage so you’re not standing in the rain waiting for your keys. A separate accessory building will handle EV batteries away from the main showroom.

Until the doors open on the new store, your routine stays the same. Sales, service, parts, and financing all keep running on the same schedule at our current Indianapolis location. Your service history, warranty coverage, and any paperwork you’ve signed with us follow you to Whitestown. Same team, same phone number, and the same faces who already know you and your Sportage by name.

Where the New Dealership Will Sit in Whitestown

The new store will open along the Indianapolis Road corridor, south of Whitestown Parkway and just west of Interstate 65. Anyone who has taken the Whitestown Parkway exit for a shopping run or driven past the Anson shops already knows the stretch. Boone County has been one of the fastest-growing pockets in Indiana for well over a decade, and Whitestown sits right at the heart of it. Plans also call for a new access road off Indianapolis Road named Ray Skillman Way, which should make pulling in and out a lot less of a headache than a typical highway-adjacent lot.

Getting to Ray Skillman West from Around Indy

Worried about the drive? Most of our regulars won’t feel much of a difference. Ray Skillman West shoppers coming from Speedway, Eagle Creek, or the Lafayette Road area can hop on I-65 north and reach the Whitestown Parkway exit in roughly 15 minutes outside of rush hour. From the far west side, I-465 to I-865 connects straight to I-65 with no city traffic in between. Brownsburg drivers have a clean shot north on State Road 267, and Zionsville is a quick run west on State Road 334. Lebanon, Carmel’s west end, and the northwest side all fall within easy reach too.

Honestly, for a lot of Indy Kia owners, the trip may get shorter. The current lot sits tucked behind a busy retail corridor. The new one sits a few hundred yards off an interstate exit.

Questions Drivers Are Asking About the Move

Is Ray Skillman Kia West still open right now?

Yes. Our Indianapolis showroom, service department, and parts counter are all open and running normal hours. Nothing closes until the Whitestown store is ready.

When exactly is the move happening?

There is no confirmed date yet. Plans have been approved by the town of Whitestown and construction timelines can shift, so we recommend bookmarking this page for updates as we get them.

Will the dealership have a new name?

It will. Once we open in Boone County, the store becomes Ray Skillman Kia of Whitestown. The Ray Skillman name and the same crew stay right where they belong.

Can I still schedule service during the transition?

Absolutely. Book your oil change, tire rotation, or warranty repair the same way you always have. If a service appointment falls near the switchover, our team will call you to confirm which location to visit.

How far is Whitestown from the current Indianapolis location?

The drive runs about 15 to 20 minutes north up Interstate 65, depending on traffic. Drivers in Zionsville, Brownsburg, and Lebanon will find the new store even closer than the old one.

Does my warranty or service history transfer?

Yes. Your Kia warranty coverage, prepaid maintenance, and full service records follow you to Whitestown. You will not need to re-register anything or start over with a new file.

Moving day is coming, but it isn’t here yet. Construction schedules change, permits take time, and we would rather give you a real date than a guess. Save this page, and we’ll post the opening announcement here first. In the meantime, the smartest thing you can do is treat us exactly like you always have. Come test drive a Telluride. Bring the Sorento in for its 30,000-mile check. Get your trade appraised. Every one of those things happens on the same schedule it always has. The name and address may be changing, but you’ll still get the same great care and service you’ve come to expect from Ray Skillman Kia West!

Stop By Ray Skillman Kia West Before the Move

We’ve spent a long time earning trust on the west side of Indianapolis, and none of that walks out the door when the sign changes. Our sales team still takes the time to listen instead of pushing you toward whatever sits on the front row. Our finance department still works with buyers across every credit situation. Every technician in our shop still knows Kias inside and out. Due for an oil change next week? Thinking about a new Sportage next spring? Stop by and let us take care of it. We’d love to see you at our Indianapolis store now, and again in Whitestown once the new doors open.
