Just like going to the doctor, it’s important for your Kia to see a doctor, as well. Okay, maybe we’re not a real doctor but our trained technicians are basically car doctors. This week we want to share with you why it is so important to regularly service your vehicle. Follow along below and we hope to convince you that regular service is important if you’re one of those people that skip out on servicing your ride!

Ensure your safety

• Regularly servicing your vehicle will increase yours, your families, and others safety while they are out on the road. While there are many reasons for automotive collisions, neglect is a cause for concern. Faulty steering and braking systems, improper fluid levels, worn windshield wipers, worn tires, and other vehicle-related neglect can cause a fatal accident.

Prevent vehicle malfunctions

• Being stranded on the side of the road isn’t exactly how you want to find out that something is wrong with your vehicle. If you choose not to regularly service your vehicle, you run the risk of breaking down on the side of the road while repairs and tow costs will be hefty.

Increase performance and fuel efficiency

• When your fluid levels are at the proper levels, internal wear on your vehicle decreases and vehicle performance will increase. Not only will your ride provide you with smoother, more responsive ride but your vehicle will drive as it was intended. Tune-ups and oil changes will also increase your fuel efficiency which means you’ll spend less time at the pump!

Increased resale value

• Not only should you want to keep your Kia in great shape for your own safety, when it comes time to sell or trade-in it will be worth much more than a vehicle that hasn’t been treated with the same TLC. Regular service + more money on resale = happy you! This also creates a maintenance record which will prove that you regularly serviced and will ultimately help you sell your vehicle in the end.

Peace of mind

• Regularly servicing your vehicle will give you peace of mind knowing that there are no major issues currently happening or waiting to blow up in your face. Plus, you’ll be safe, less stressed, and your wallet won’t be hurting from expensive repairs.
