Kia FAQ
Is my Kia affected by the engine recall?
Several Kia models with Theta II 2.0T and 2.4L GDI engines are subject to engine failure notices. Engine knocking, oil consumption, or a recall notice — bring it in for a diagnostic.
Do you service the Kia Telluride and Sorento?
Yes. All maintenance and repairs — oil changes, brakes, transmission fluid, and all mechanical work.
How often should I change the CVT fluid on my Kia?
Every 30,000–40,000 miles in Phoenix driving conditions. CVT fluid degrades faster in extreme heat. Neglecting this is a common cause of early failure.
What causes the engine ticking on my Kia?
Ticking on Kia GDI engines can be timing chain tensioner wear or early signs of the Theta II engine issue. We diagnose and advise on the best course of action before it becomes a bigger problem.
