Essential Kia Maintenance: Keep Your Kia Running Smoothly with Phil Long Kia

Regular Oil Changes

One of the most vital services for your Kia is regular oil changes. Oil lubricates the engine, preventing friction and wear on essential components. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes less effective, which can lead to engine damage. Kia recommends oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of oil used.

At Phil Long Kia, we use high-quality synthetic and conventional oil to ensure your engine stays well-protected. During each oil change, we also inspect your oil filter, replace it as needed, and perform a quick check on other fluids, keeping your vehicle ready for the road.

Tire Rotation and Alignment

Your tires play a critical role in your Kia's performance and safety. To maintain even tread wear and extend the life of your tires, it's essential to rotate them regularly-typically every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. If you notice your Kia pulling to one side or uneven wear on your tires, it might be time for a wheel alignment.

At Phil Long Kia, we provide tire rotation and alignment services to ensure your tires wear evenly and your vehicle handles smoothly. Our team will also check tire pressure, which is vital for both fuel efficiency and safety.

Brake Inspection and Service

Your brakes are crucial for both your safety and that of others on the road. Regular brake inspections help ensure that your brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid are in good working condition. If you notice any squeaking, grinding, or a soft brake pedal, it's time to have your brakes checked.

At Phil Long Kia, our certified technicians perform thorough brake inspections, replacing worn-out brake pads and ensuring your entire braking system operates at peak efficiency. Keeping your brakes in top condition not only improves safety but also prolongs the life of your vehicle.

Battery Check and Replacement

Your Kia's battery powers everything from the ignition to the lights and electronics. Over time, batteries can lose their charge, especially in extreme weather conditions. If you're experiencing dim lights, slow engine starts, or warning lights on your dashboard, your battery might need attention.

Our team at Phil Long Kia offers free battery inspections, ensuring your battery is in good health. If it's time for a replacement, we'll provide you with a new, high-quality battery to keep your Kia running reliably.

Fluid Checks and Replacements

Your Kia relies on a variety of fluids to run smoothly, including transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and power steering fluid. Regularly checking and replacing these fluids helps prevent overheating, transmission issues, and steering problems.

At Phil Long Kia, our technicians will inspect your vehicle's fluid levels during routine maintenance appointments. We'll top off or replace fluids as needed, ensuring your Kia stays in top form no matter where your adventures take you.

Air Filter Replacement

Your Kia's air filter plays a significant role in keeping the engine clean by filtering out dust, dirt, and debris from the air that enters your engine. Over time, air filters become clogged, reducing engine performance and fuel efficiency.

We recommend having your air filter checked during routine maintenance appointments. Our team at Phil Long Kia can quickly replace it if needed, ensuring your engine breathes easy and operates at peak efficiency.

Scheduled Maintenance Services

Following your Kia's scheduled maintenance plan is one of the best ways to keep your vehicle running like new for years to come. Every Kia comes with a recommended maintenance schedule based on mileage and time intervals. This includes services such as spark plug replacement, timing belt checks, and transmission service.

At Phil Long Kia, we follow Kia's factory-recommended service intervals to ensure your vehicle receives the care it needs at the right time. Our goal is to help you avoid major repairs and keep your Kia performing at its best, mile after mile.
