Grand Kia - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Kia Sportage
Owning a Kia® Sportage is even better when you follow a simple, consistent care plan that protects performance, safety, and long-term value. Routine service supports smooth shifting, strong braking, and the proper operation of advanced features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. At Grand Kia, we make that plan easy with factory-trained technicians, Genuine Kia Parts, advanced diagnostics, and convenient options such as online scheduling and express oil changes. Here in Thornton, CO, we see everything from short urban commutes to high-altitude mountain drives, and our advisors translate those real-world conditions into an interval that fits your calendar. Every visit includes a thorough multi-point inspection with clear, prioritized recommendations, plus digital updates so you always know what comes next. We handle tire rotations and replacements, brake service, battery testing, fluid exchanges, alignments, and software updates in one stop. Whether your Sportage is gasoline, hybrid, or equipped with AWD, our team checks system-specific items so the powertrain, HVAC, and driver-assistance systems stay reliable season after season. We can also retrieve your maintenance history and help you plan ahead for upcoming services to minimize downtime and surprises.

To get the most from any schedule, start by reviewing your Owner’s Manual and choosing the normal or severe-service track that reflects your mileage, climate, and usage. Keep a simple log of dates, mileage, and services performed, set calendar reminders, and share any changes in noise, vibration, or warning lights between visits. Cold starts, dust, short trips, towing, or frequent elevation changes can qualify as severe service, which shortens certain intervals — ask our team to tailor timing accordingly. Choose OEM filters and fluids to protect emissions systems and turbo components, and schedule seasonal checkups before big trips. If your windshield is replaced, we can verify camera calibration so features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist operate properly. Intervals can vary by model year, engine, and equipment, so always consult the manufacturer or contact our service team for details and recommendations specific to your vehicle.
