Service FAQs at Kia AutoSport in Pensacola, FL

Your Kia SUV or sedan is a precision, well-engineered machine that's built to last for a long time. The key to getting the most out of your automotive investment is regular, factory-recommended maintenance that you can have performed at an authorized Kia service center like ours. Our conscientious Kia customers often have questions about how to take the best care of their new or pre-owned Kia model. Here are some of the questions we hear most often and answers we hope will be helpful from us at Kia AutoSport in Pensacola, FL.

How often should I get my Kia's oil changed?

We generally recommend that our Milton, FL customers a Kia oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or at least once a year. An oil change is the most essential single maintenance task you can do for your Kia because your engine is the centerpiece of your car's mechanical system. Airborne invaders like dust, dirt and grime can infiltrate your engine and shorten its life expectancy. By getting an oil change at regular intervals, you allow us to flush out the old oil and fill your engine with fresh new lubrication.

What services do you offer besides oil changes?

We provide just about every service your Kia needs including tire rotations to help your tires wear more evenly and last longer. We also do brake replacement which means we can inspect your Kia brake pads to see if they're wearing out and replace them if needed. We can also check your brake rotors at the same time and install new ones if that's required to keep you safe. In addition we do engine diagnostics, transmission repair, power steering repair and replacement of your struts and shocks.

Do you use OEM quality parts when you do repairs?

Yes, we will use genuine Kia original equipment quality parts whenever we do a repair. Whether you need standard service or you recently found yourself in an accident, our certified technicians at Kia AutoSport Pensacola can provide you with high quality replacement parts. Our genuine Kia OEM parts are factory-engineered to give you the kind of precision fit that matches the specifications on your Kia Forte, Sportage, Telluride or whatever you drive.

Do you really offer a lifetime powertrain warranty on new Kia models?

Yes, every new vehicle you buy at Kia Autosport Pensacola has a lifetime powertrain warranty. You're covered as long as you own your Kia and there's no mileage or time limit with this program. The powertrain coverage includes some of the most critical components including the engine, transmission, drive axle, engine block, torque converter and drive shaft.

What kind of maintenance is required to maintain that lifetime warranty?

Our lifetime powertrain warranty is included with your new Kia model at no extra cost to you. To maintain that coverage, it's essential that you follow your vehicle's recommended maintenance schedule. You can make an appointment with our factory-trained and certified Kia technicians for regular oil changes and other required maintenance. Maintenance services must be performed at an authorized Kia service center like ours.

Do you offer any discounts for service or parts?

Absolutely. You can check our service specials to find great deals on essential services like a power steering fluid exchange, brake fluid exchange, a four-wheel alignment, a synthetic automatic transmission fluid exchange and an air conditioning evaporative system cleaning.

What kind of maintenance is required to maintain my Tires for Life coverage?

With our Tires for Life program, we'll repair or replace your tires at no extra cost to you as long as you drive your Kia and get the recommended factory maintenance. Just visit our service center every 5,000 miles or six months to get all the factory-recommended service and maintenance, including tire rotations. When it's time for new tires, as long as you've kept up the required maintenance, you'll get your tires replaced at no cost to you.
