Scheduling a Kia oil change in Woodbridge ensures your vehicle maintains its excellent performance. Your car will also need regular Kia brake, tire and battery service in Woodbridge, as well. To protect your investment, you’ll want to stick to a regular routine of Kia service appointments. Fortunately, many services like a battery replacement and oil change can be handled in one appointment to save you time.

When Is the Best Time for Your Kia Service Appointment?

Your First Kia Oil Change in Woodbridge

Brand new Kias require their first oil change at 7,500 miles. Generally, it’s a good practice to schedule your oil changes every 7,500 miles. There are some warning signs that will alert drivers if their Kia is overdue for an oil change. These include the check engine light turning on, an oil smell, or dark smoke coming from the exhaust.

Recommended timelines vary slightly between models. For example, turbocharged engines need oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. At your first oil change, ask your Kia-trained technician if your oil needs to be changed more often. You can also consult your owner’s manual for more information.

When To Schedule Kia Brake Service in Woodbridge

Brake pads and brake fluid require regular maintenance. Brake pads wear down at a wide range of 25,000 to 60,000 miles. Your Kia-trained technician will check your brake pads for the first time at your 22,500-mile service appointment. Your technician can check your brake pads during an oil change service and replace the pads if necessary. 

Don’t hesitate to have your brake pads checked early if you notice any cause for concern. Always see a technician if your brakes are squeaking, grinding, feeling squishy, or if the brake light comes on. Your brake fluid will likely need to be replaced at the 30,000-mile mark. This is a good appointment to have your transmission fluid and coolant replaced as well. 

When To Schedule Kia Battery Service in Woodbridge

Most vehicles need their batteries replaced every three to four years. Extreme weather can impact the lifespan of your battery. Electric vehicles, like the Kia EV6 Wind, will need battery health monitoring. 

Bring your Kia in for a battery service if you notice corrosion around the battery connectors. Other signs your battery needs replacing include dim lights, a slow starting engine, or the check engine light turning on.
