No one likes having their day interrupted by a sudden warning light on the dashboard. With routine maintenance at your Kia dealership, you’re far less likely to experience unexpected car problems. Here’s a list of important Kia services to schedule.

Tire Rotations and Replacements
Your tires keep you safely connected to the road. You’ll maximize tire traction and reliability with regular rotations, which counteract uneven tread wear. We can also check your tires for damage or worn-out treads and replace them in a timely manner.
Motor Oil and Oil Filter Changes
Luckily, with consistently fresh motor oil, your Kia’s engine will run smoothly. You’ll keep your oil in great shape with routine changes, which should often include replacing the oil filter.
Engine Diagnostics and Tune Ups
Our technicians can connect a digital scanner to your car’s on-board diagnostics. They’ll then thoroughly analyze the engine’s performance. Any small issues will be detected and repaired. They can also fine-tune the engine to have it working at its very best.
Engine and Cabin Air Filter Changes
The air filter in your engine compartment can cause problems if it clogs up with airborne dust and debris. You’ll need to have it replaced at least once a year, and the same goes for your cabin air filter.
Brake Pad and Rotor Replacements
It’s vital to have routine brake inspections to ensure reliable stopping power. During an inspection, we’ll examine each brake component, including the lines and fluid, which need to be flushed periodically. When a brake pad or rotor is almost worn out, we’ll promptly replace it.
Cooling System Checks and Repairs
The temperature of your engine needs to be kept under control by the cooling system. It’s important to have this complex system inspected and tested frequently. Coolant usually needs to be flushed every two years.
Transmission Fluid Servicing
Likewise, your transmission fluid needs to be maintained and periodically flushed. The transmission’s pan gasket, drain plug, seals, and fluid lines will be checked for signs of wear or leaks.
Battery Tests and Replacements
Each time you press the ignition, your battery needs to deliver a strong surge of electricity. It’s wise to have your battery tested regularly to ensure it’s strong enough to keep your car on the road. When your battery starts to weaken, we can replace it.
Windshield Wiper and Fluid Changes
You need your windshield wipers for safe visibility when it rains or snows. We can replace your wipers once or twice a year and help to keep your wiper fluid topped up.
