Your car’s transmission is one of the hardest working components, with many parts that move power from the engine to the wheels. The transmission is essential and must work correctly for your Kia Sorento, Telluride, or Rio to run perfectly. Routine transmission service from the qualified and experienced Kia technicians at your Kia dealer will ensure that your Kia’s transmission is always in good working order.


1. You’ll Save Money on Fuel

With today’s gas prices, isn’t it good to know that regularly servicing your car’s transmission will save you money on gas? With regular services, transmission checks, and transmission fluid replacements, your transmission will be in good working order, and you will not have to fill up as often.


2. You’ll Save Money on Repairs

Your car’s transmission consists of hundreds of moving parts that are expensive to repair and replace. If you notice any transmission problems, don’t delay and get it fixed by a qualified Kia technician as soon as possible to avoid high repair costs. Routine transmission inspections and regular transmission fluid replacements will prevent unexpected repairs and costly replacements.


3. Your Car’s Gears Will Shift Smoothly

Transmission fluid that is old and dirty overheats and turns into a thick sludge that clogs up the gears, delaying gear shifts or making it hard to shift gears. Over time the lack of proper lubrication could cause severe damage to your transmission.

That is why regularly servicing your car’s transmission and replacing the transmission fluid at the recommended intervals is so important. Regular transmission fluid replacements will prevent gear shifting issues and ensure that your gears shift smoothly.


4. The Transmission Components Will Be Protected

Transmission fluid that is not regularly replaced becomes old and contaminated and doesn’t cool or lubricate as it should, causing the components to wear down faster. When a qualified Kia technician regularly services your car’s transmission and replaces the transmission fluid, the transmission components will be well lubricated to reduce friction that causes wear. When all the parts are protected and running smoothly, your transmission will last longer.


5. Your Car Will Be on the Road for Longer

During each transmission inspection, every component is thoroughly checked to ensure that each part works correctly and is in good working condition. After every transmission inspection, your car will perform at its best. Servicing your transmission at the factory-recommended intervals will also affect your engine’s performance, and when the engine runs smoothly, your Kia will be on the road for longer.  

Reap all the great benefits of regular transmission checks and transmission fluid replacements. Check your owner’s manual for the factory-recommended maintenance intervals. Drive to Crain Kia of Conway today, and the qualified Kia technicians will ensure that your vehicle’s transmission is in perfect shape.
