Keeping your Kia in good condition is key to maintaining its longevity and value. If you’re wondering when your Kia maintenance is due, here are some maintenance tips and tricks. Plus, find out where to take your Kia for reliable oil changes, tire service, and more.
When Do I Need Kia Maintenance?
Routinely, there are various maintenance services that your Kia may need, ranging from an oil change to a filter change, and inspection. An inspection might include the battery and cables, tires, lighting system, latches and locks, and other critical components. Another service that you will want to include in regular maintenance will be inspecting the brakes for signs of wear and tear.
Over time, there are other services that can be included in your maintenance schedule. A couple of these services might be inspection of the ignition system and inspection of hoses. If any parts are excessively worn or damaged, they will likely be replaced. As you add more mileage to your vehicle, you’ll likely need an even more detailed service to check for issues within the engine, fuel tank, and electronics assembly.
Get Your Car Serviced if You Have Driven in Tough Conditions
Have you been driving in rough conditions with your vehicle? If your Kia has recently been through prolonged extreme weather or it navigates a lot of dense traffic, you may want to preemptively schedule service to make sure that all parts are working correctly. This could also help catch any small repairs that may need to be addressed. Some challenging conditions might be:
- Driving in hilly areas for extended periods
- Driving in ice and salt in cold temperatures
- Driving in heavy traffic often
When You Notice Something Wrong Schedule a Service
You should also consider bringing your Kia to a dealership for maintenance if you notice anything wrong. For example, if you start hearing noises coming from your engine while you’re driving, or controls on your vehicle aren’t as responsive as they once were, it might be time for a vehicle checkup.
When Indicated by Your Owner’s Manual to Service Your Vehicle
Finally, you should always check the Kia Owner’s Manual for the recommended service schedule for your vehicle’s specific year, make, and model. This helps provide the most specific guidelines on how your car should be maintained.
