Scheduling periodic maintenance performed by factory-trained technicians is one of the keys to keeping your Kia in peak condition. Staying on top of your vehicle’s maintenance helps identify underlying issues so you can fix them before they become major problems. Your local Kia dealership offers many essential services to help you maintain your vehicle.


1. Engine Diagnostics

Does your vehicle seem a little off, but you can’t pinpoint the precise problem? Maybe your check engine light is on for no apparent reason, your vehicle is handling differently, or you’re noticing noises and rattles you’ve never heard. Your local dealer has computerized diagnostic tools that can examine your engine and determine what’s going on. These tools allow us to quickly diagnose the problem and get your vehicle back on the road.  


2. Tune-Ups

In addition to regular oil changes, your vehicle will need periodic tune-ups according to the schedule recommended for your Kia model. A tune-up involves checking your engine to see if any parts need cleaning, repairing, or replacing. We’ll also look at any changes in the way your vehicle is handling, such as diminished braking capacity, decreased fuel mileage, or warning lights.


3. New Windshield Wipers and Headlights

In addition to maintaining the major mechanical elements of your vehicle, there are smaller components that play important safety roles. Your windshield wipers will need to be replaced as they age, and dim or burned out headlights will need to be repaired. Your local dealer can help maintain these components and install replacement parts.


4. Tire Service

Keeping your tires properly inflated, rotated, and aligned will go a long way to keeping your vehicle safe on the road. Your local dealer offers a complete line of tire services. We can also repair flats and minor punctures, and, when you need them, we can sell you a new set of tires.


5. Transmission Repair

Your vehicle’s transmission transfers power from your engine to your wheels through various gears. The transmission is an intricate piece of equipment, and it relies on a careful balance of transmission fluid and fluid pressure to function. If you’re having trouble with your gears staying in place, or if you’ve noticed puddles beneath your vehicle or other signs that transmission fluid is leaking, you may be due for repair.

The factory-trained technicians at our dealership will inspect your transmission, determine what needs to be addressed, and fix your vehicle using original parts from the manufacturer.

The services your dealer offers will keep your vehicle on the road and working in peak condition for years. When you’re ready to book your vehicle’s next service appointment, call Altoona Courtesy Kia.
