Routine maintenance is vital for keeping your Kia in optimal condition and sustaining peak performance. Seasonal maintenance is also essential and as the weather changes so should the vehicle tires and fluid. There are several reasons seasonal maintenance on your Kia is important, such as prolonging the lifespan of your car and maintaining the overall market value. Buckle up as we discuss all the reasons maintenance is so beneficial for you and your vehicle, in addition to learning more about the Kia Maintenance Plan and Kia Care Choice Service Plans.

Keep your car safe

A lack of maintenance can increase the risk of vehicle malfunction and safety. To ensure the safety of your car and others, it is important to regularly check various components. These include the brake pads, brake fluid, windshield wipers, wiper fluid, lights, and for any signs of leaks or potential breakdowns.

Improve fuel efficiency

If your vehicle is functioning with a lack of ongoing services, this can contribute up to 50% poor performance. Scheduled maintenance will drastically improve fuel efficiency. Checking the tire pressure, air filters, and motor oil will also contribute to increasing performance.

Keep your vehicle running longer

Ongoing care including standard fluid, oil changes, component cleaning, and scheduled parts maintenance will allow your vehicle to perform even longer. A well-maintained vehicle won't require frequent repairs. The longer your vehicle lasts, the less financial burden will weigh on needing to purchase a new one.

Preserve your vehicle value

The value of your car is dependent on the condition, including the record of vehicle maintenance. Most dealerships and private buyers will want confirmation that the vehicle services were complete and on track with previous services. These ongoing services will contribute towards the overall value of your vehicle

Save time and money

Consistent maintenance and service will generally save time and money in the long run. This will avoid the multi-day repairs and receiving a bill for a few thousand dollars. The more maintenance you can check off each quarter the better the outcome will be over time.

To simplify owning a Kia and taking care of it, you can buy prepaid maintenance coverage through the Kia Maintenance Plan. We designed this plan to ensure completion of all the factory-recommended services on time. Plan options range from 1 year to 6 years of service and include up to 2 services per year. You can choose which coverage plan fits your needs based on the number of miles you plan to drive.

The Kia Maintenance Plan ensures a simplified, quality, and valuable service experience. In addition, you will have peace of mind knowing that your Kia is trustworthy and reliable with ongoing services.

Kia also offers the Kia Care Choice service plan. These are prepaid plans that you can purchase at any time. You can select one of four care packages that suit your driving needs:
