What’s Included in a Kia Oil Change, Brake Check, or Tire Rotation?


Routine maintenance is the key to keeping your vehicle running smoothly, safely, and efficiently. At Kia of Cape Coral, we help drivers across Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and Port Charlotte, FL, stay on top of essential services like oil changes, brake checks, and tire rotations. Understanding what each service includes can help you protect your Kia and ensure it performs at its best for years to come.

What’s Included in a Kia Oil Change?

A routine oil change is one of the most important services your Kia needs. Fresh engine oil keeps the internal components lubricated, reduces friction, and prevents long-term wear. When you bring your Kia to Kia of Cape Coral for an oil change, you receive the following:

1. Engine Oil Replacement

We remove the old oil and replace it with the correct grade of high-quality synthetic oil approved by Kia. Using the proper oil helps maximize performance and fuel efficiency.

2. New Oil Filter Installation

Every oil change includes a fresh, genuine Kia oil filter. A clean filter ensures contaminants are removed from the oil as it circulates through the engine.

3. Multi-Point Inspection

Our technicians inspect key components of your vehicle, including fluids, belts, hoses, and battery condition, to make sure everything is performing as it should.

4. Fluid Top-Offs

Essential fluids such as brake fluid, coolant, and windshield washer fluid are topped off as needed.

5. Resetting Your Maintenance Light

Once everything is completed, we reset your Kia’s maintenance reminder so you stay on schedule.

An oil change at Kia of Cape Coral is more than a quick service—it is a complete engine health check performed by certified technicians who know your model inside and out.

What’s Included in a Brake Check?

Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems in your vehicle. A brake inspection ensures everything is functioning properly and can prevent costly repairs down the road. During a brake check, our team examines:

1. Brake Pad Thickness

We measure pad wear and let you know if they are in good condition or nearing replacement.

2. Brake Rotors

Rotors are inspected for wear, scoring, or warping that could affect stopping performance.

3. Brake Lines and Hoses

We inspect for leaks, damage, or deterioration.

4. Brake Fluid Condition

Brake fluid is checked for proper levels and contamination; we may recommend a fluid exchange depending on its condition.

5. Parking Brake Operation

We ensure the parking brake engages and releases properly.

Whether you’re commuting through Cape Coral, navigating Fort Myers traffic, or taking longer drives to Port Charlotte, properly maintained brakes are essential for safe driving.

What’s Included in a Tire Rotation?

Rotating your tires helps them wear evenly, improves handling, and extends their lifespan. When you schedule a tire rotation at Kia of Cape Coral, our service includes:

1. Rotating All Four Tires

We move your tires according to Kia’s recommended pattern—often front to back or diagonal—to maintain balanced tread wear.

2. Tread Depth Measurement

Our technicians measure tread levels to ensure your tires provide safe traction.

3. Tire Pressure Check and Adjustment

Each tire is checked for proper inflation, and air pressure is adjusted to manufacturer specifications.

4. Visual Inspection for Damage

We inspect sidewalls, tread surfaces, and valve stems for punctures, wear, or cracking.

Regular tire rotations help your Kia handle better, improve fuel efficiency, and provide safer performance in wet or hot Florida road conditions.
