WHY KIA, WHY COMMUNITY

Learn why Kia of Columbia strives to be involved in the foundation of building a stronger community.


Kia of Columbia a believes a dealership should do more than sell cars. We are part of this community, and we believe that means showing up in meaningful ways.

Our goal is to build real relationships with the people, schools, organizations, and local partners that help make Columbia and mid-Missouri a great place to live. For us, community involvement is not about one-time sponsorships or photo opportunities. It is about being present, supporting local efforts, and investing in the people and causes that matter here.

That commitment shows up in the way we support people and organizations both close to home and beyond. Kia of Columbia is proud to partner with Mizzou Athletics, support Mobility Worldwide’s mission to provide mobility solutions to people in need around the world and participate in local philanthropic efforts like Tigers on the Prowl, an annual initiative that brings local charities and artists together to raise money for deserving organizations.

Through McLarty Automotive Group, that commitment extends even further. McLarty has contributed more than $1 million to Mid-Missouri organizations and donated more than $100,000 to local high school seniors through the McLarty Drives Education Scholarship Program.
