Your Kia is a great vehicle, and you want to enjoy it for as long as possible. Regular Kia maintenance reduces repair costs as our technicians can identify and repair minor issues before they can turn into problems. As your Kia dealer, we want to tell you more about some of the maintenance we provide. more Examples of Kia Maintenance Available From Your Kia Dealer Tire Maintenance Your tires suffer constant wear and tear due to friction with the surface. They're made of high-quality rubber and reinforced with metal and polymer under the tread, but they will gradually wear out. Tires are also subject to wear due to balance or alignment issues or under or overinflation. Regular tire checks can reduce this damage and increase your tire life. Our technicians will check your tire pressure and correct it if necessary. Tire balance is important, as poorly balanced tires sustain increased wear on certain sections, making them more prone to leaks or blowouts. We can also correct any alignment issues by connecting your wheels to our computerized alignment machine. Tires are an expense, and increasing their life allows you to plan for their eventual replacement more easily. Spark Plug Replacement A spark plug is screwed into each engine cylinder, and it ignites the fuel-air mixture at the high point of compression. A healthy spark plug ensures the mixture burns in a carefully controlled series of mini-explosions that allow your car to run smoothly. As time passes, spark plugs wear out, and they are usually changed every 30,000 to 90,000 miles, depending on the type of spark plugs in your Kia. Worn spark plugs can fire intermittently, causing the fuel-air mixture to burn poorly. In this situation, much of the fuel won't burn, and you'll notice an increase in fuel consumption. The exhaust produces black smoke, and you can experience misfiring or even stalling. Our technicians will test each spark plug and replace any damaged ones. Oil Change Oil is vital for your Kia's engine. It lubricates all the moving components, protecting them against friction damage. The oil is pumped through the engine at high speed, and this movement has a cooling effect on many components. In addition, oil contains numerous additives that enhance engine efficiency. Oil slowly degrades over time and needs replacement every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. We drain the old oil and replace the oil filter to ensure the new oil will flow freely. We check the oil sump is tightly sealed to prevent any leaks and then refill your oil.
