Kia Summer Maintenance Tips

The temperature will be higher than ever during the summer, so be sure that you don’t have any A/C issues. Turn on the air conditioner and check for a steady cool air flow coming from each vent. Also, now is a good time to change the cabin air filter. Finally, you may consider visiting our service center for a ventilation cleaning service.

You don’t want your vehicle to overheat on the road. Be sure to check the temperature reading. Additionally, make sure that you have enough coolant in the vehicle. If you notice any smoke coming from under the hood of your vehicle, you could have a potential overheating issue.

Since your tires maintain contact with the road, you want to ensure they are always in top shape. Check the tread depth level of each tire and look for any excessive wear. Also, check the pressure level. Finally, inspect the sidewalls of each tire for any damage, such as cracking or bubbling.

You probably don’t think of your car battery often. However, you want to check if the battery still provides the proper charge to your vehicle. If you don’t have a way to test the battery, then you can bring it to our service center for a battery test. Also, check the battery casing and terminals for any signs of corrosion.

Make sure that you can see and be seen when you are on the road. Check the headlights, taillights, and high beams on your vehicle. If you need to have any lights replaced, we offer genuine OEM Kia lights at our parts center.

Finally, you will want to ensure that your engine is in top condition. This is an excellent time to change the engine air filters. Also, take a look at the PCV valve and make sure that the sparkplugs are all in peak condition.
