No, you don’t have to have your Kia serviced at a Kia dealership. In fact, servicing your car yourself is one of the best ways to save money in the long run. The important thing is that the work is done correctly, using the right parts and procedures.
Even if your Kia is still under warranty, you’re not required to take it to the dealer. As long as you follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule and keep records—like invoices for parts and materials—your warranty remains valid.
The key to getting it right is having the service manual. It provides all the procedures, specs, and intervals you need to ensure the job is done properly. That way, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your car is well-maintained and your warranty is safe. It’s how I’ve kept my Kia running great without breaking the bank!
