Grand Kia - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Kia Sorento
At Grand Kia in Thornton, CO, we make it simple to follow a practical, model-year-appropriate plan for your Kia Sorento. A consistent schedule helps preserve performance, supports features like All-Wheel Drive and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and can keep your SUV feeling confident mile after mile. Our factory-trained technicians use Genuine Kia Parts and advanced diagnostics, document each visit for easy recordkeeping, and offer convenient options such as express services for routine items and thorough multi-point inspections for peace of mind. To get the most from your Sorento, set calendar reminders for upcoming mileage and time-based care, check engine oil level monthly, monitor tire pressures and tread, and schedule inspections after seasonal temperature swings or pothole-heavy months. If you tow, drive short trips, or frequently idle, you may need shorter intervals. Powertrains vary by generation—turbocharged, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid models have unique needs—so always consult your Owner’s Manual and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. The general guidelines below cover common items for most model years and can help you plan ahead. We are ready to tailor the plan to your VIN, driving habits, and local conditions.
