Your transmission is one of the most important and expensive parts of your Kia, and small problems get costly if you wait. Our team pinpoints the cause of a shifting issue and takes care of it in house, from a simple fluid service to a larger repair, using genuine Kia parts and fluid.

- The transmission or check engine light is on
- A red or brown fluid leak under the vehicle

When should you service Kia transmission fluid?
Transmission fluid service intervals vary by model and how you drive, and towing, heat, and heavy stop-and-go traffic call for more frequent service. Rather than guess, we can pull your Kia’s factory schedule by VIN and check your fluid’s condition. See our service specials or explore the full Kia service center.
