Coolant Fluid Exchange

Coolant fluid should be at its best in summer to control excessive engine heat. Checking and exchanging the coolant fluid as needed is always a good idea for summer maintenance.

Battery Inspection, Diagnostic Check & Replacement

Summer maintenance should include a battery inspection. We know that extreme temperatures cause faster battery decline, so be sure that your summer maintenance plan includes a battery check with diagnostic load testing. Replace old batteries that have lost integrity before summer to promote overall vehicle reliability.

Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement

Removing ice in sub-zero temperatures can lead to a rapid wiper blade decline. Always check the wiper blades for excessive cracking, brittleness, and damage. Replace old blades that have lost integrity or are more than 1 year old. You’ll need excellent windshield wiper blade performance for adverse summer conditions.

Major Maintenance Interval Service

Check your vehicle’s miles to see if major maintenance is due. Common Kia major maintenance intervals include 15k, 30k, 45k, 60k, 75k, 90k, and 120k miles. Major maintenance was designed to get the most out of your vehicle in all seasons.
