Check out six important maintenance services offered by your local Kia dealer, some of which you may not get from a local garage. more 1. 24/7 Booking for Appointments People are busier than ever. What with juggling family and work demands, you know you need to schedule maintenance for your Kia, but when you look at the clock, you see our dealership's closed, and it's too late to call for an appointment. However, we offer 24/7 online scheduling, so you can go to our website to find a day and time that work, even if you wait until 2 a.m. to make that appointment. 2. Trained Mechanics Repair Your Vehicle The mechanics here at Auffenberg Kia are trained by Kia America to repair and maintain your particular vehicle. They don't just have general automobile knowledge. They've been trained to work on your Forte, Soul, or Sportage by Kia technicians. This means you get mechanics who are familiar with your vehicle and know how to repair and maintain it. 3. Warranty Repairs with Manufacturer Parts Some customers wonder if the parts the mechanic uses for their cars come from the manufacturer. At our dealership, you know our technicians will use genuine Kia parts or certified aftermarket parts that meet the original specifications for repair. You also know the repairs will comply with the warranty on your new Kia. 4. Recall Information and Software Updates Once in a while, you have to update the software on your home computer, phone, or tablet. The same is true with your car. Today's technologically advanced vechicles need to have their software updated occasionally, and you can have that done at our dealership. Plus, if there are any product recalls, our service department can take care of those, also without voiding your warranty. 5. Kia Service Maintenance Packages Before you drive your car home, you can make sure your vehicle has all services covered via a maintenance package. We offer maintenance packages for a certain number of years, and these are available even after your warranty expires. Packages vary in price depending on the vehicle's model and condition, as well as the length of the contract. 6. Discounts on Services When you schedule your maintenance with our service department online, you can take advantage of our internet deals, which include discounts on services and labor. These do change, so make sure you check our website to claim the coupons for the services you want. Ready to schedule your maintenance appointment?
