Frequently Asked Questions

How often does my Kia need maintenance?

Most modern Kia vehicles have service intervals of every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. We always recommend consulting your owner's manual or speaking with us for a schedule based on your specific model and driving habits.

Does my Kia's GDI engine need a special type of oil?

Yes. Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines, especially those with a turbo, require a specific full synthetic oil to prevent carbon buildup and provide proper lubrication. We use only manufacturer-specified fluids.

My Kia has a CVT or DCT. Does it require special service?

Yes. Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) and Dual-Clutch Transmissions (DCTs) need specific fluids and service procedures that are different from traditional automatics. Regular fluid service is crucial for their longevity.

What kind of maintenance does my Kia hybrid or EV need?

While they have fewer traditional engine parts, they still require regular service for brakes, tires, suspension, cabin air filters, and coolant systems for the battery and electronics.

Can you service my Kia if it is still under warranty?

Absolutely. You are not required to return to the dealership for routine maintenance. We follow Kia's recommended service procedures and use high-quality parts to help keep your factory warranty intact.

How much will service for my Kia cost?

The cost depends on your Kia's model and the specific maintenance or repair required. Please call us for a detailed estimate.
