    Servicing your Kia at our Inverness facility ensures your manufacturer warranty remains valid, maintains your service history with an official Kia dealer, and provides expert care from technicians specifically trained on Kia models and technology.

  • How often does my Kia need servicing?

    Most Kia models require servicing annually or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first, though this varies by model and age. Newer Kia vehicles may have longer intervals for specific items, whilst older vehicles or those in demanding use (such as Highland driving) may benefit from more frequent attention.

  • Can I service my MG at an independent garage?
