Tire Changes & Rotations
Proper tire care plays a major role in your vehicle’s safety, handling, and overall efficiency. At Ottawa Kia, we recommend rotating your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles—or at each oil change—to promote even tread wear and extend tire life. If you notice uneven tread patterns, vibrations, or a decrease in traction, it may be time to consider new tires. We carry high-quality options engineered to meet Kia’s performance expectations, and every purchase of four tires includes complimentary lifetime rotations. Schedule a visit at Ottawa Kia at the first sign of handling changes to ensure a comfortable, safe driving experience.
Oil & Filter Changes
Routine oil and filter changes are among the most vital maintenance steps to protect your engine. Depending on your vehicle and driving habits, this service is typically recommended every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Fresh oil minimizes friction, enhances fuel efficiency, and helps extend the life of your engine. Our certified team uses Kia-approved oil and filters to maintain peak performance. If your oil warning light appears or you hear unusual noises coming from under the hood, schedule a service appointment at Ottawa Kia right away. Refer to your owner’s manual for the most precise recommendations.
Brake Inspections & Replacements
Your brake system is essential to your safety and overall driving performance. We recommend a full brake inspection once a year or every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. During the inspection, our technicians evaluate brake pad thickness, rotor condition, and brake fluid levels. If you experience squeaking, grinding, or reduced stopping power, it may be time for new brake components. We use OEM Kia parts designed for optimal durability and responsiveness, ensuring consistent braking performance. Book your next brake service at Ottawa Kia if you detect any warning signs. Refer to your owner’s manual for the most accurate maintenance schedule.
Battery Service
Your vehicle’s battery powers critical systems—from starting the engine to supporting interior electronics—and naturally loses strength over time. Most batteries last three to five years, depending on driving habits and environmental conditions. Our technicians provide quick, accurate battery tests to assess its health and help prevent unexpected failures. If you notice dim headlights or slow engine cranking, visit Ottawa Kia for a complimentary battery check. Plus, when you purchase a new battery from us, installation is included at no additional cost. Consult your owner’s manual for the most accurate service intervals and recommendations.
