Preventative Maintenance
KIA Preventative Maintenance in South Attleboro, MA
Kia is one of the most reliable car brands in the industry, earning high ratings from experts like J.D. Power and Consumer Reports. For example, in 2023 Kia was ranked third overall in the J.D. Power US Vehicle Dependability Study. Of course, the key to achieving that kind of reliability is giving your Kia SUV or sedan the regular, factory-recommended maintenance it needs to keep performing dependably. With that in mind, here's an overview of the Kia preventative maintenance schedule that you can follow by bringing your Kia to our service center at Kia of Attleboro in South Attleboro, MA.
Regular Kia oil changes
The engine in any vehicle can be infiltrated by tiny microscopic invaders like dust, dirt and grime in the normal course of driving around Attleboro, MA. When you bring your Kia to our certified service center, we can flush out the old oil and fill your crankcase with fresh new lubrication. With our high quality synthetic motor oil, Kia recommends getting your oil changed every 7500 miles or every six months. The outstanding more oil we use will lubricate engine components, extending the life of your engine and reducing the amount of wear and tear.
Regular tire rotations
Kia recommends getting your tires rotated every time you do an oil change, which is every 7500 miles. By allowing us to reposition your tires at those intervals, you can reduce the amount of wear on your tires and help them last longer. Regular tire rotations help your tires wear more evenly and it allows you to drive around North Attleboro, MA more safely. Tire rotations also improve traction, especially during the kind of harsh winter weather we experience in local communities like Pawtucket, MA.
Professional wheel alignments
Your Kia can get knocked out of alignment if you simply hit a pothole on the streets of Providence, MA. That's why we strongly recommend having us check your wheel alignment with every oil change, at 7500 miles. If your wheels are mis-aligned, we can provide an expert wheel alignment to get you back on track. That will help your tires wear more evenly, last longer and help you steer more accurately, which increases your safety level.
Regular brake inspections
The brakes on your Kia Telluride or Kia Sportage can gradually wear out so it's a good idea to have us give them a regular inspection. We recommend getting your brakes examined during routine service visits like oil changes, every 7500 miles. If you notice a squeaking or a grinding noise when you step on the brake pedal, that means your brake pads are probably wearing out and need to be replaced. If we can intervene early enough, we can help you avoid having to also replace your more expensive rotors.
Fluid checks and replacements
Your Kia runs with vital fluids like transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid and power steering fluid. These should be checked regularly and replaced as often as required. That's typically every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the Kia model you own and your driving conditions.
Air filter replacements
Because a clean air filter is so important for maximum engine performance and fuel efficiency, Kia recommends changing the air filter every 30,000 to 45,000 miles.
Ask us to check your tires and battery
Ask your Kia service advisor to make sure your tires are checked with every oil change, at 7500-mile intervals. If you need a new set of tires, we have great ones in stock and we can install a complete new set for you. We can also run a load test on your battery to make sure it has enough power to start your Kia reliably, especially in the extreme weather conditions we experience around Swansea, MA. Ask a service advisor to provide a recommended maintenance plan at Kia of Attleboro in South Attleboro, MA.
