Kia Service for Every Journey
Kia has come a long way from its early days as a bicycle parts manufacturer in South Korea. Today, it’s a major player in the global automotive market—known for stylish designs, advanced technology, and industry-leading warranties. At Elite Garages, we provide specialist Kia servicing that protects your warranty and keeps your car running smoothly. Whether you drive a nimble Picanto or an electric EV6, our expert technicians are here to help.
As part of the Hyundai Motor Group, Kia shares many technologies and platforms with Hyundai. That means your Kia benefits from the same high engineering standards and can be serviced with the same specialist knowledge and care.

When Should You Book A Kia Service?
Most Kia models benefit from an annual service or every 10,000–12,000 miles, whichever comes first. This ensures all vital systems are checked and your warranty conditions are upheld. For newer models, especially hybrids and EVs, follow your Kia owner’s manual or digital dashboard reminders for exact timings.
What Does a Typical Kia Service Include?
Our gold Kia service covers everything from fluids to filters, brakes to batteries. We also check for software updates and run diagnostics on all major systems, especially important in newer Kia models with ADAS features and hybrid drive technology. Find out more about our range of car services on the Elite Garages website.

Kia EV and Hybrid Servicing
Kia’s growing hybrid and electric range, including the Niro and EV6, requires specialist attention.

Kia Cambelt Replacement: What You Need to Know
Kia cambelts typically need replacing between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on the model and engine type. If your vehicle has a timing chain instead of a belt, the schedule may differ but regular inspections are still key.
Delaying cambelt replacement can lead to severe engine damage. Book your cambelt inspection or replacement with Elite Garages if you’re unsure.
Kia Aircon Repairs and Regas
Kia’s advanced climate control systems rely on regular servicing to maintain comfort and efficiency. Whether your aircon is blowing warm air or losing gas pressure, we can regas, clean, or repair it with minimal downtime. Book an Aircon Regas for your Kia today.
