OEM parts are the way to go when replacing any component in your vehicle. Your Kia dealer will always use these when doing routine maintenance and when replacing parts that break down unexpectedly. There are lots of advantages to using OEM components, which are genuine Kia parts. We'll get into them below. The Advantages of Using Genuine Kia OEM Parts for Vehicle Repairs and Maintenance Kia Parts Are Made to Last Kia parts are designed to last as long as possible. The materials are extremely high-quality, so they're not likely to start breaking down as soon as you drive away from the dealer after getting your repair. more Although there are many high-quality generic parts out there, you can never guarantee that they're made with the same materials and to the same quality standards as OEM components. That's why genuine Kia components often end up lasting considerably longer than generic parts. Kia Parts Are Made to Fit When genuine Kia components are manufactured, they're made to fit in a specific model or several similar Kia models. So, when it's time to replace something in your car, the replacement parts don't need to be adjusted to fit. Generic parts are just what their name suggests—generic. They're not designed to fit specific models. Generic components are manufactured to fit into as many car makes and models as possible. This often results in an imperfect fit, meaning the component may need to be adjusted to fit into your car. This may result in higher labor costs and longer repair times. Plus, generic parts often never fit into your car as perfectly as Kia ones even after the generic parts are adjusted. Kia Parts Are Made to Be Compatible Because Kia parts are made to fit your specific vehicle, it means they're made to be compatible with all the parts already in your car. An OEM component is the exact same as the old part it's replacing. You already know the old part was compatible, so you can expect no issues or differences with the new one. The same can't be said about generic parts, as they're not designed to work specifically with the other parts in your exact Kia model. Kia Parts Cost Less Over Time Because OEM components are designed to last as long as possible, they often need to be replaced less frequently than generic parts. This can lead to cost savings over time, even if an OEM component costs more upfront. Generic parts that aren't perfectly compatible with your car may also make other components break down or work inefficiently. This leads to additional repair costs over time. Do you need a reliable place to get your car fixed? Visit Kia of Coatesville in Coatesville, PA to make sure all your repairs are done with genuine Kia parts.

Your car is a significant investment, and routine maintenance is required to help ensure you continue getting a good return on your investment. Whether you need your car to get you to work reliably to run smoothly on a long weekend getaway, there are several Kia maintenance items you should check off your list regularly. Today, we are looking at the importance of maintenance and how often your Kia dealer should service your car. Why Regular Kia Maintenance Is Key to Your Car's Health and Performance Regular maintenance is an essential part of car ownership because it helps keep your vehicle in top shape. When you ensure the tires are in good condition, you decrease your stopping distance and increase your tires' grip on the road, making cornering and driving on wet roads safer. When you get routine brake inspections and replace brake fluid when necessary, you also make your car safer to drive. Routine maintenance is also a great investment because it will save you a lot of money in the long run. From tire rotations and brake inspections to fluid changes, including engine oil changes, when you get vital maintenance, you're extending the useful life of your car's components. For instance, oil changes keep your motor running strong for longer and transmission fluid changes are key to your transmission's health and performance. more How Often You Should Visit Your Local Kia Dealer for Preventative Maintenance Your parents may have told you to get an oil change every 3,000 miles when you got your first car. However, it is no longer necessary to get your oil changed this frequently thanks to incredible advancements in engine oil, powertrain technology, and more. As a general rule, you should get your oil changed annually. A common exception to this rule is that you should get your oil changed every six months if you drive under severe conditions. What Are Severe Driving Conditions? Severe driving conditions are fairly common in Coatesville. Your engine is put under a lot of strain when you idle for long periods when you wait in line to pick your kids up from school. Your engine is also very strained when you drive fewer than five miles in one direction. You also are considered to be driving under severe conditions when you cruise for long periods at speeds not exceeding 50 miles per hour. You made a significant upfront investment when you got your Kia, but you need to invest in preventative maintenance to keep your car running reliably. If it's been at least a year since your last oil change, contact us today at Kia of Coatesville in Coatesville, PA to schedule a service appointment.
