This is quite silly. In general, oil changes should be 10,000 km or 6 months, provided that you use good quality oil and filters. This every 5k thing is implemented to make more money off customers. I just had the first oil change done at 5000 km, along with filter change this cost me approx 8,000 rupees. According to KIA this was a "free" service. Which means that now I have to go at 10k, 15k, 20k and so on and will spend a minimum of 8000 plus 5000 labour charges plus any other services like air filter change, brake service, cat converter cleaning at 20k etc. Spending approximately 15k for every service doesn't make sense to me and I am seriously considering the feasibility of maintaining warranty vs maintaining oil changes on my own.

Secondly, I don't know if anyone can shed light on this, but if your car is not company maintained, and something like your horn malfunctions, is warranty honoured? Because these parts have nothing to do with engine maintenance.

15k just for a simple oil change and service is too much and cat con cleaning at 20k??? That seems very absurd from Kia's side.

[azfarnb]

Their labor charges for every service interval are 5000 (for routine) and i believe 8000 for 20k service.

Matlab 10k interval pay oil + drain plug washal + oil filter + air filter sirf change karnay k 5k lol

[omaruser156370259465]

Better to maintain it from a roadside trusted mechanic. Mechanics at a stealership couldn't even diagnose a kerrr kerrr sound in my car, roadside one did it. How much does an air filter, oil filter and cabin filter cost for a Sportage btw?

[Oblivion]

My car is driven 840kms in 4 months and they told me to visit till 19th for 1st oil change which was supposed to be 5000kms

[waqar747]

Many are in the same boat. My 5,000 km oil change was done on 1,239 km, and 10,000 on 2,379 km. Had to do it because of the warranty.

I wouldn't recommend izee drive. According to some users Audio constantly cuts out and sometimes steering wheel controls don't work. Apple CarPlay is better but only gripe I have is that one cannot use phone earpiece to attend to calls and that your phone is constantly charging which effects battery health

@ziauddin68

My FWD month is April, I paid the remaining balance in February first week. I was hoping to get it in a week or a month.

I know someone who has a delivery month February for AWD and he hasn’t got it yet. (Not sure if he has paid full or partial)

I also know they KIA has delivered AWD , FWD in February which was scheduled for June2022 and FWD which was for April2022.

No idea, how the queue works

[ziauddin68]

This is so unfair and depressing. Unfortunately in our country with right connections coupled with ineffectiveness/absence of any regulator, you can bypass anything. No one bothers about any morality. Influentials are getting whatever they want whereas common man suffering in big way despite complying with whatever so called rules are there. Sad

I have kept brand new cars from 1982.Initially did follow the maintenance time lines laid down by dealerships especially the first three services now reduced to two by most dealerships.In my case too cars are not driven too much as to achieve the mileage required.As a matter its way short of it and it didnt make sense to me to unnecessarily get oil/filter changed.These days even these items have become expensive and with dealerships trying to pressurise with such timelines to maintain warranty one is not sure which way to go.I may add never had to go for any spare part change under warranty ever.This applies to Suziki,Toyota and Hondacars which I have all kept.Members views are welcome on the subject.
