As your Kia dealership, we have the Kia-trained technicians, technology, and Kia-approved replacement parts to keep your Kia in great shape. We want to tell you about some examples of the types of Kia service we provide. 3 Examples of Kia Service Available at Your Kia Dealership Oil Changes Your Kia uses synthetic oil rather than conventional oil. Synthetic oil is manufactured in a lab and can withstand higher temperatures than conventional oil, giving it a longer life. Synthetic oil will still thicken and become sluggish, and will need replacement after 7,500 to 10,000 miles, depending on your Kia model and engine type. The oil's job is to lubricate engine components, which allows them to move faster and more efficiently and protects them against friction damage. In addition, specialized additives in the oil help keep the engine clean, prevent rust, and break down harmful buildups of carbon and other substances in the engine. We can change the oil and replace the oil filter while you wait. Tire Services Your tires gradually wear down as you drive, and they will eventually need to be replaced. Our technicians can check the condition of your tires, and if you need new ones, we can help you with your choice of tires from all the major brands. We also offer a range of services that will extend your tire life and postpone the need to plan for their replacement. Tire rotations have a major impact on tire health, as each tire position generates a specific wear pattern due to weight distribution and wheel alignment. Rotating the tires involves moving each tire to a new position to equalize wear and reduce the chances of a leak or blowout. We can also rebalance your tires and correct wheel alignment issues. Brake Repairs The braking system is one of your Kia's most important safety systems, as it allows you to control your speed and stop at any time. It relies on a combination of force and pressure to stop your wheels, and over time, these forces will contribute to parts wearing out. Since every component in the braking system works together, worn or damaged components can cause serious trouble and make driving less safe until they're repaired. Fixing brake fluid leaks, replacing damaged brake pedal boosters, and diagnosing and fixing ABS issues are just some of the brake services we provide. We also offer a complete brake service where each brake component is checked and tested, the brake fluid is replaced, and the system is then tested under real-world conditions to ensure it's working perfectly.

Have you ever had a tooth problem and wished you'd gone to the dentist earlier? Just as with your oral health, diligent preventative maintenance will save you from a world of financial hurt down the road. If you routinely care for your car in the following ways, it will experience far fewer serious malfunctions and enjoy a much longer lifespan. Your car will also perform far better with regular performance services at your local Kia dealership. 6 Tips for Keeping Your Kia Running Smoothly Change the Oil on Time The motor oil should never be neglected. Even one missed oil change can accelerate wear and tear inside the engine as friction rises. Most drivers should have their oil changed biannually, but consider more frequent changes if you routinely drive in heavy traffic or put your engine under excess strain in other ways. Keep Each Vital Fluid Fresh The coolant must also be checked regularly and flushed every two years or so. Likewise, the brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and differential fluid all need regular attention. Have the Tires Rotated Your car's tires require a good deal of care, too. Make sure to check the air pressure monthly. Also, have them rotated twice a year or more. Rotations mitigates uneven tire wear, keeping traction strong and the tires long-lasting. Keep Your Wheels Aligned Over time, your car's wheels will become bumped slightly out of proper alignment by rough patches of the road. Twice a year, have each wheel professionally measured to see how they're doing. Once a wheel is clearly misaligned, ask a trusted technician to set it straight once more. Have the Brakes Inspected Your brakes should ideally be inspected by a professional once a year. When you bring your car in, we can raise it to remove the wheels and entire braking mechanism, examining each component in turn for excess wear or nascent faults. The brake fluid and lines also need to be inspected. Change Both Air Filters The cabin air filter keeps you breathing clean air as you drive. Similarly, the engine's air filter prevents airborne nasties from entering the cylinders. Both of these filters need to be replaced at least once a year to ensure smooth airflow. Book Regular Performance Services at Your Local Kia Dealership Optimal vehicle performance requires routine maintenance services with a trusted technician. When you book vehicle upkeep with us, we can set up a schedule that suits your busy lifestyle and even help you to remember each servicing visit with courteous reminders.
