Kia Maintenance Guide



Kia Maintenance Guide

If you own a Kia, you likely made the purchase based on Kia’s reliability and reputation. Likewise, if you’re in the market for a Kia, you’re probably using the same criteria. So, how does a vehicle stay so reliable? A lot of it has to do with routine maintenance.

Staying up to date with your Kia model’s maintenance schedule will ensure its longevity and keep it running in the condition you have come to appreciate in a Kia. You’ll enjoy many more miles of driving your Kia around Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, or Deland, FL. Our team at The SmartLots is equipped to help you keep up with all the routine maintenance needs for your Kia.

Whether you drive a sedan, an SUV, or a hybrid, the recommended maintenance schedule that’s detailed in your owner’s manual will look something like this. . .

Oil Change

7,500 Miles

At this first milestone, plan on scheduling an appointment for a routine oil change, removing the old oil and replacing it with new, a tire rotation, and a safety inspection that covers everything from emissions to the structure of your vehicle. Your Kia will run smoothly and be ready to take you to the next mile marker.

Tire Rotation15,000 Miles

Before you know it, you’ll hit your vehicle’s next milestone and it will be time again to have the oil changed, the tires rotated, and another round of that routine safety inspection. At this appointment we’ll also replace the engine air filter to keep your engine running clean. Plus, we’ll replace the cabin air filter of your Kia, giving your entire vehicle a breath of fresh air, as it cleans the air that passes through the ventilation system of your vehicle.

Brake Repair22,500 Miles

When your Kia has reached this mileage, it’s ready for a service appointment encompassing the previous routine maintenance. In addition, brake pads and tires will be replaced if necessary. We’ll assess the condition of both to determine if they’re ready to be replaced.

Transmission Fluid Check30,000 Miles

It’s at this milestone that we continue the routine maintenance checks from previous milestones and add in fluid replacement services: brake fluid, improving your Kia’s braking performance; transmission fluid, extending the life of your vehicle’s transmission and allowing for a smoother ride; and coolant replacement, removing any rust or deposits to keep your vehicle’s cooling system clean.

37,500 Miles

When your vehicle comes in for a service checkup at this mileage, we’ll continue routine maintenance and replace the drive belt, a key factor in maintaining your Kia’s engine efficiency.

The Importance of a Routine Maintenance Schedule

Routine maintenance is important for many reasons. It can ensure that your vehicle will continue to be safe and dependable while improving its fuel efficiency and the overall value of your vehicle. A well-maintained vehicle is less likely to break down along the side of the road. When all your vehicle’s needs are met, you’ll have peace of mind when traveling through Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, and Deland, Florida. Be sure to contact The SmartLots team to schedule all your vehicle’s routine maintenance needs.
