Keeping your Kia vehicle in a drivable condition requires repeated upkeep practices referred to as routine maintenance. Learn about some of the most common types that you can get from our Service Department at Cable Dahmer Kia of Lee’s Summit and the specific benefits they offer.
Understanding Routine Maintenance
Your Kia K4 or Kia Niro is only able to take you on trips around Lee’s Summit when their various systems are properly functioning. Since many parts of a car wear down at specific intervals, routine maintenance is the process of predicting and counteracting those damages before they disrupt the function of your car. For example, checking your tire pressure and the charge of your Kia model’s battery are two types of regularly scheduled upkeep that help you detect problems and fix them before your wheels won’t spin correctly or the engine won’t turn over. Oil changes are another sort of routine maintenance that your car must undergo every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on various factors like the vehicle’s age. Taking these actions at set intervals offers a host of benefits that we’ll explore next.
Benefits of Routine Maintenance
When you schedule routine maintenance with us, you put your Kia model in the hands of factory-trained staff members. Our team knows the correct service intervals, processes, and parts that yield the best outcomes for your car, SUV, or MPV. A more granular benefit of getting an oil change is ensuring that your engine is properly lubricated, reducing the wear and tear it suffers on I-470 while also giving our workers the chance to check the overall engine condition. In the same vein, making sure your tires are properly inflated and aren’t overly damaged from driving leads to safer and more efficient travels to and from Miller J. Fields Park. Many other advantages to taking care of your car are available, and we’d be happy to educate you about them.
Warning Signs
A ticking or clicking noise coming from under the hood, sometimes accompanied by a burning smell, is a clear indicator that your car is in need of an oil change. As your Kia racks up more miles, the interval between the required fluid swaps can decrease, so you should talk with your service advisor about changing the schedule as needed. Another red flag to remember is when your brakes are squeaking when you come to a halt, a sign that the brake pads are getting too thin to effectively stop your car. Lastly, lower fuel efficiency and your car not driving straight even when the steering wheel is set that way are both signs of needing a wheel alignment. These signs should prompt you to make an appointment with us during our service hours, which start early in the morning.
