For oil and filter changes, our Kia Certified Technicians only use oil that is Kia factory approved.
Kia Genuine Oil maintains its stability at high temperatures and ensures maximum filtration to reduce dirt and debris to get into your engine. This includes synthetic oil for newer models.
As the oil circulates through the engine, it becomes contaminated over time.
An oil filter removes harmful contaminants from the engine oil that may cause damage to the engine components, and doing so, will ensure proper oil flow and smooth engine operation.
Kia Genuine Oil Filters are made based on original equipment specifications to ensure that it performs at the best of its ability.
The oil filter requires replacement with the engine oil at regular intervals. Always refer back to the owner’s manual for your particular vehicle for its recommended maintenance schedule.

Every time you press on the brake pedal, the brake pads press against the brake discs to help stop the car from moving. Overtime the lining of the brake pads will thin out, decreasing the ability of your vehicle to stop quickly.
When updated and maintained on a regular basis, your vehicle’s brakes are able to accelerate and decelerate more smoothly and stop more quickly like how it was designed.
Regular maintenance is critical to address everyday wear and tear of your breaking system. It is important to service the brake pads, rotors, discs, and calipers so that performance and safety is never compromised.
With time and use, the effectiveness and performance of a car battery deteriorates. Therefore, it is imperative to get your battery tested to ensure your battery is in the right condition.
Kia Genuine Batteries are manufactured and tested rigorously to meet the performance and specifications of all Kia models.
Get peace of mind by having a Kia Genuine Battery and getting it examined regularly to avoid any sudden no-start situations.
Not all parts are created equal
It can be difficult to know all the different types of auto parts you'll encounter in today’s repair marketplace. Here are some terms you might come across working with independent repair facilities and insurance companies.
Aftermarket parts
“Aftermarket Parts” are manufactured and supplied by a company other than Kia. Aftermarket Parts suppliers work to create their own product by copying a Genuine Kia Part, but have no affiliation with actual Genuine Kia Parts. Aftermarket parts may not have been tested for proper function or were not approved by Kia for use on Kia vehicles. These parts are not covered by any Kia warranties.
Salvage parts
Salvage parts are pulled from vehicles that have been used previously on other vehicles. Their origin and use is unknown. With no history, it’s possible that the reliability and fit may have been compromised. These parts are not covered by any Kia warranties. Salvage parts may also be referred to as “Like Kind and Quality”.
Counterfeit parts
Counterfeit parts are usually designed to deceive consumers by copying the appearance of Genuine Kia Parts, but are not made for, nor distributed by Kia. Often sourced from distributors out of the country, these parts may look identical or be boxed similarly to Genuine Kia Parts, but are not. Counterfeit parts are likely untested for vehicle safety, fit, or function.
