When Should You Schedule Your Kia For a Service?

It is essential to keep your vehicle functioning properly to help you stay safe on the road. It can be difficult to remember when you need to take your vehicle in to be serviced, especially if you have a busy lifestyle. There are a few different ways to help you identify problems and concerns and keep your Kia in excellent shape.

Taking your Kia in for regular maintenance can make a difference in vehicle performance and safety. Listening for unusual noises and monitoring icons on the digital instrument display can be another way to know when you should take your Kia in. The Kia Access app is an excellent way to track and monitor your vehicle's maintenance, maintenance history, recall information, and upcoming appointments.

Schedule an Appointment for Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is key with any vehicle. Even electric vehicles need to receive routine maintenance service. Maintaining your Kia on a regular basis can help drivers avoid more expensive repairs in the future. Scheduling an appointment once or twice a year, even if your car appears to be functioning well, can help to identify and diagnose issues or prevent future problems.

Specific mileage milestones can also be helpful reminders to take your vehicle in for service. These mileage milestones will vary depending on your vehicle. Kia recommends service at the following mileage points:

• 7,500 miles
• 15,000 miles
• 22,500 miles
• 30,000 miles
• 37,500 miles
• 45,000 miles
• 52,500 miles
• 60,000 miles

These points are simply suggestions. Feel free to ask your dealer for their recommended milestones for your Kia.

Watch and Listen for Warning Signs

Kia’s digital instrument display will inform drivers if maintenance is needed. Some Kia’s will display the words “service required” each time the vehicle is turned on to let you know you need to take your Kia in to be serviced. Standard warning symbols will light up if an issue is identified. It can be beneficial to listen to your vehicle. If it is making unusual noises, you may want to take it in to be serviced.

Receive Service Notifications Via the Kia Access App

Kia is a tech-focused brand that understands the importance of taking care of your vehicle. As such, the Kia Access app is an excellent way to monitor your vehicle's health, performance, and service needs.
