Hello all,
So the wife’s 2015 Kia Sportage is just about due for the 30K mile maintenance service. Last time I was at dealer for oil change, they mentioned it and said it runs about $400. In looking into it, seems bogus since most (if not all) inspection items are done at every oil change anyway. I already installed a washable engine air filter and cabin filter, and have done the fuel additive every other oil change.
See attached description from manual.
Besides tire rotation, anything else of note that justifies price, or how do I get around the ‘your warranty requires it’ BS ?

Your warranty does not require you to get the 30k mile service from them, it doesn’t even require you do the “30k mile service.”

I see nothing there that merits a $400 service. Looks like a regular oil change with a few extra “inspections” on top. Maybe they’re expecting to find something on inspection and be able to charge you for it.

Dont worry about anything at all. Same with the 60K and 90k mile services honestly.

This is what I figured also. And even if they inspect it and find something, not like it would be covered in the $400 price, so what’s the point? Thanks

Exactly. Just tell them you already did everything or will be doing it yourself. They won’t like that answer, but the warranty law allows for vehicles to be serviced by their owners or independent shops.
