The cars at your local Kia dealer are equipped with many advanced Kia safety features that make driving a safer experience. The peace of mind that comes with a safer ride is a bonus. Whether you’re in the city, on the highway, or parking, there’s a feature to enhance your safety. Let’s take a look at some of the features in detail.

Auto Emergency Braking Technology

One of Kia’s safety technologies is an automatic emergency braking feature, so your car always has your back when you can’t respond to the situation on your own. The system will warn you about the collision before applying the brakes, and then the emergency braking feature kicks in if you don’t brake soon enough.

Regular Kia maintenance ensures your Kia will always operate at peak performance and deliver the perfect driving experience you expect. As your Kia dealer, we want to tell you about some examples of maintenance we can perform to keep your car in great condition.

Examples of Kia Maintenance Available at Your Kia Dealer

Headlight Bulb Replacement

Headlight bulbs have a very varied lifespan, ranging from 500 to 30,000 hours, depending on the type of bulbs in your Kia. These might not sound like long lives, but bulbs are usually only used for relatively brief periods at night. A bulb’s lifespan can also be reduced by issues in the electrical system, as bulbs are very sensitive to fluctuations in the electrical current.

Replacing a bulb is very quick, and we recommend replacing both bulbs even if only one has failed. The reason for this is bulbs are installed in pairs, and if one bulb fails, the other will fail soon afterward. Installing two new bulbs saves you time and money as you won’t need to return in a few days to get the second bulb replaced.

When it comes to replacing parts in your car, it’s wise to opt for genuine OEM parts. Rather than gradually turning your vehicle into Frankenstein’s monster of mismatched generic aftermarket components, OEM car parts are all identical to Kia’s original manufacturing specifications. They’re perfectly compatible, better quality, more durable, and designed to optimize the lifespan and performance of your car. You can ask for more guidance on OEM components at your local Kia dealership. 

Zero Compatibility Issues

OEM components are designed by Kia with precisely the same dimensions and technical specs as the original part being replaced. This means they fit seamlessly into your vehicle and you have no need to worry about compatibility issues. 

Generic car parts, on the other hand, often need to be altered before installation. Even then, they can never match the vehicle as perfectly as genuine components, which tends to cause performance problems down the road. 

Far Superior Quality 

You can rarely beat the quality of an OEM car part. Kia has an excellent reputation in engineering and manufacturing. To uphold this reputation, they maintain strict standards in all components they build, including each OEM car part. As vehicle performance depends on the quality of each component, this promise of quality is worth its weight in gold. 

Guaranteed Reliability

When you install a generic aftermarket car part, you need to cross your fingers and hope it lasts. Not so with Kia OEM car parts. Long-term performance is assured when you know that each component has been built by the original manufacturer. This reliability is also frequently guaranteed by a generous warranty. 

Reduced Wear and Tear 

When newly installed car parts don’t fit optimally and are inferior in quality, as with most aftermarket car parts, they wear out faster. On top of this, they also accelerate wear and tear in connected components. This can dramatically lessen the longevity of your car while also increasing the number of faults and repairs. 

Enhanced Vehicle Value

You may want to sell your car in the future. If so, the buyer will be happy to hear you’ve always used genuine OEM components. This can significantly increase the resale value of your vehicle.
