Popular Maintenance Tasks at Our Kia Service Center
Routine maintenance is an important part of owning a vehicle. While tasks such as fluid exchanges, brake inspections, and tire rotations may seem inconvenient, setting up appointments to have them taken care of will save you time and money in the long run. Here are some of the most common maintenance tasks we perform at our Kia service center.
Oil Changes
Oil changes may seem like a mundane part of owning a car, but properly swapping out old oil will do wonders for extending your car’s mileage and engine life. A broken engine will be much more costly than an oil change and it will also be a bigger hassle to fix. The frequency of Kia oil changes will depend on your car's make and model, but as a rule of thumb, you’ll want to swap out your oil every 5,000 miles, or six months.
Tire Inspections
Months of hitting the road will introduce wear and tear to your Kia tires. Over time, they will begin to lose air and traction, which in turn will reduce the efficiency of your vehicle. Old tires will even run the risk of popping on the road, which can be especially inconvenient during a daily commute.
Getting your tires inspected during routine maintenance checkups will let you know when it's time to swap them out. We’ll check the pressure and tread, rotating them if necessary. It is always better to be prepared than to fumble with a spare tire on the road.
Brake Inspections
Brakes are an easily overlooked part of a car that are nevertheless essential for safety. Faulty brakes are a serious concern, and brake pads will need to be replaced every 45,000 miles on average, depending on use. Excessive braking can shorten the life span of your brake pads. If you ever notice squeaking or a scraping sensation from your brakes, you’ll want to get them inspected at Sansone Kia.
