Routine Maintenance is Your Best Friend

Making sure that your Kia runs like new is one of the best ways to minimize the chances of breakdown, while ensuring that your vehicle is able to return its highest degree of performance, fuel economy and reliability. However, not every driver understands their vehicle's exact needs in order to best care for it. At Kia of Cape Coral, we feature a certified Kia maintenance and repair center to ensure that your Kia can always run its best. Come with us as we cover a few of our favorite car maintenance tips and discover what drivers choose our Kia service center in Cape Coral, FL, for all of their maintenance and repair needs.

Why Routine Maintenance is So Important

Some drivers understand the importance of an oil change, and will regularly perform this service, however, many drivers will often skip over others required services in their vehicle's maintenance schedule. Later down the road, drivers who neglected their vehicle's maintenance requirements may find that their car is less reliable than it was designed to be. Here are a few reasons why it's important to stay on top of your Kia's maintenance schedule:

Cost Effective
Staying on top of your Kia's maintenance schedule will minimize your need for repairs down the road - saving you hundreds, or even thousands of dollars throughout your vehicle's lifetime.

Maximize Reliability
Vehicles that have been well-maintained throughout their lifetimes tend to return their highest degree of dependability.

Better Satisfaction
Reliable vehicles often return better owner satisfaction than vehicles that break down constantly. This is because reliable vehicles spend more time on the road and less time in the repair shop.

Stick Close to Your Owner's Manual

Now that we've established why it's so important to stay on top of your Kia's maintenance schedule, you still might be scratching your head as to what services your vehicle needs. A detailed prescription of your Kia's maintenance schedule can be found in your owner's manual. Here, you'll find the exact services recommended by Kia engineers.

While the needs for your particular Kia model may vary, here are a few general examples of how often various services need to be performed:

• Oil and filter change - Every 5,000 to 10,000 miles (depending on oil type)
• Brake pad replacement - Every 15,000 to 60,000 miles
• Tire rotation - Every 7,500 miles
• Cabin air filters - Every 15,000 miles or every two years
