How Often Should You Service Your Kia?

It's an important question. It's the difference between your Kia breaking down in less than a year. Or your Kia lasting for years. It's the difference between huge repair bills and a couple of bucks for an oil change. It's the difference between—well, you get the picture. Here's how to keep your Kia on the road in Vestal, NY with Matthews Kia.

Service Intervals

Every automaker has required service intervals for their vehicle. Service intervals are like pit stops for your car. And every now and then, you need to make a pitstop at Matthews Kia for small things that will make a big difference in your Kia's performance. Here are the recommended pitstops for your Kia.

Kia recommends oil changes every 5,000-7,000 miles. If you put a lot of stress on your engine, then you may want to shoot for the 5,000-mile mark. But when your model hits 7,500 miles, you should have had your first oil and filter change, tire rotation, and safety inspection.

At this time, you'll want to get your oil changed and tires rotated. But, during this pitstop, you'll also receive an engine and cabin air filter replacement.

Just over a year into your ownership, you'll want to have all the aforementioned services at the 6-month mark. In addition to brake pad inspection and tire inspection/replacement.

Matthews Kia will inspect your brake fluid transmission fluid and replace your coolant. In addition to all services that were completed at the 15,000-mile mark.
