Keeping your Kia vehicle maintained is a good way to protect your investment and get the most out of your car or SUV. That's why we highly recommend scheduling routine service appointments at our Kia service center in Briarwood. Located in Queens, our expert technicians have the skills, experience, training, and diagnostic tools to keep your car running almost like new.
Why is Routine Automotive Service Necessary?
Regular maintenance is absolutely essential for the optimal performance, safety, and longevity of your car. During scheduled service visits, our factory-trained Kia technicians will thoroughly inspect all critical systems and components like the engine, transmission, brakes, tires, belts, hoses, fluids, and more. We can detect minor issues before they escalate into major repairs. Routine maintenance helps ensure everything is in proper working order and prevents some breakdowns and costly repairs down the road.
Fluid Changes: One of the most vital maintenance tasks is changing the engine oil and filter at regular intervals as specified by the manufacturer. Fresh oil keeps the engine properly lubricated at all times and prevents excessive wear of internal moving parts. We also replace other vital fluids on schedule, including brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and differential fluid. Clean, new fluids help your vehicle's systems run smoothly.
Tire Rotation: Rotating your tires every 5,000-8,000 miles helps promote even tread wear so you get the maximum miles out of your tires. It also ensures the tires wear evenly for proper vehicle handling, traction, and stopping ability. Proper tire rotation is key for safety on Brooklyn roads.
Battery Testing and Replacement: We thoroughly test your battery and charging system to verify everything is working correctly. A weak or failing car battery can leave you stranded with a no-start condition. We'll advise if it's time to replace the battery to ensure reliable starting power in any weather conditions.
Brake Inspection: Our technicians will thoroughly inspect the brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and hoses. We measure pad thickness and look for leaks and damage. This comprehensive brake inspection helps spot issues before they become bigger problems. Properly functioning brakes are absolutely critical for safe driving in the Bronx area, so we emphasize brake maintenance.
