Why Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Kia vehicles are designed with durability and performance in mind, but just like any machine, they need routine care to operate efficiently. Scheduled maintenance helps extend the life of your vehicle, improve fuel efficiency, and ensure that you stay safe on the road. At Petawawa Kia, we recommend following the manufacturer’s guidelines for regular maintenance to avoid unexpected issues and costly repairs.

What Does Scheduled Maintenance Include?

At Petawawa Kia, we follow Kia’s recommended maintenance schedule, which varies depending on the model and year of your vehicle. The key components of scheduled maintenance include:

• Oil & Filter Changes: Regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly. The engine oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and prevents overheating. We recommend an oil change every 6,000 km or as advised by your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
• Tire Rotations & Inspections: Regular tire rotations ensure even wear and help extend the life of your tires. We recommend rotating your tires every 8,000 to 10,000 km, along with regular inspections for tire pressure and tread depth.
• Brake Inspections: Brakes are critical for safety. Our expert technicians will check your brake pads, fluid levels, and overall system to ensure your vehicle stops effectively. We recommend a brake inspection every 20,000 km or whenever you notice any unusual sounds or vibrations.
• Fluid Inspections & Top-Ups: Your vehicle depends on various fluids to function smoothly. We’ll ensure that all fluid levels are topped up and that there are no leaks.
• Battery Health Check: Cold weather can be hard on your car’s battery. Regular checks are essential, especially during the winter months. We’ll inspect your battery for corrosion, test its charge, and make sure it’s ready for the road.
• Air & Cabin Filter Replacements: We’ll check and replace air filters and cabin filters as needed to ensure clean airflow into the engine and cabin.
• Timing Belt and Hose Inspections: We inspect belts and hoses for wear to prevent breakdowns.
