Went to kia Kings gate two days back for first 1000km maintenance. I did ask the guy on reception about changing oil myself, he said you can't do that, and must get it changed from kia dealership else it will void warranty.

They checked battery, air cleaned filters, tighten all the bolts and checked air pressure and asked if I have any issue with car. The only one I had was it climate control switching to outside air automatically, which they said they have re calibrated.

Ask them to provide this statement in writing on dealership letterhead.

They are lying from between their teeth.

Very interested in this. If we can hold them to this it would save a lot of money for a lot of people, myself included. Not to mention we would be able to choose an engine oil brand of our choice. Going to check warranty booklet to see if I can find any mention of dealership only oil change condition.

Also I don't think they are necessarily lying, just that this is what they have been told to say to all customers. The staff at dealerships actually know jackshit themselves, they are basically sheep.

[Xulfiqar]

Thats why i said to get this statement on paper and signed by someone with authority there.

This same statement was heard by most pw members from some Honda. Toyota dealerships, when asked for paper of it, they sheepishly denied saying “hum iss liye kehtay hain ke log line mein rahein”

Lets take a scenario

Customer buys car and drives to khuzdaar as he works there and is stationed there, is he supposed to keep driving back and forth?

And by such statement, hyundai are categorically claiming themselves to be an oil blending business too.

[xuhaibkhan1]

I did ask him if it's mentioned anywhere, or what if I get it changed total company operated pump and keep the invoice for record so you know I have used the company recommended oil grade! to which he said it's mentioned in warranty book somewhere and must be changed only from kia dealership.
Also he said bring the car in two months for a 5000km service, but I don't drive much. Hardly 1500 in a month. He was like max bring it within 3 months or we won't offer free service.
I haven't read the warranty book yet, will do that before going for the 5000km maintenance.

[Xulfiqar]

Hes lying.

dealers hire these schmucks without any vetting.

[rizla]

The free service is the first time only (at 5000 km) so not like you are missing out on much. After that every 5000 km you will have to pay 5,000 labour charges for oil change.

Just wanted to share my experience with Kia Motors South in Karachi. I’ve had both my Kia Sportage and Kia Sorento serviced there, and honestly, I’ve been really happy with how everything went.

Their workshop is massive – probably the biggest I’ve seen – and it’s packed with modern equipment, so there’s no long waiting around. Everything runs smoothly, and the staff is helpful and professional.

I didn’t face any issues with the service quality. Everything was done properly, and I liked that I could find all the info I needed, including service details, right on their website: www.kiamotorssouth.com.

I know some people prefer staying with the car during service, but I personally don’t mind waiting in their lounge since they’ve got things pretty well managed.

Overall, I’ve had a great experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable Kia service in Karachi.

You have a pretty low standard of workmanship if you think Kia South Karachi is good.
