Kia Recommended Service Plan
Although Mississauga tends to have a milder winter climate compared to the Prairie Provinces or far North, Kia considers Canada a “severe climate” as a whole. Consequently, your owner’s manual recommends that you bring your Kia Forte, Optima, Sorento, Sportage, Rio, or Soul in for service every 6 months or 6,000 km.

- Keeps full warranty coverage
- Ensures a higher resale value at trade in time
- Helps prevent costly repairs down the road
- Extends the life of your car
- Lowers the chance of a mechanical breakdown
- Gives you the best possible fuel efficiency
