    I bought a 2015 kia optima with 40k miles on it that had apparently sat for a long time and both the front and rear brakes were sticking so I replaced front pads & rotors as well as serviced the calipers. The rear brakes still have over 50% left so I decided to just service the rear calipers and...

    Just want to give those guys a shoutout. Their respond time is literally within minutes. I’m having a little problem with the shocks, they are so responsive and helpful. If you guys want a set of quality struts. Go get one through David.

    Hello there, everyone! I'm basically new to here as well as a new car owner in general. I had a question for you all because I just got off the phone with a KIA Dealer for my 30,000 mile inspection and they want to charge $450. Background: I purchased my 2016 EX Optima Hybrid in February, this...

    I'm still a newbe to this forum but I wanted to tell you about my first expierence with a Kia dealership service dept. in Orlando Fl. I just bought a used 2017 Kia Optima LX with just over 40,000 miles (Yea, it was a hertz rental car) I had the car looked at by my friend (who is a mechanic) at...

    I have a 2015 Optima Turbo w/ 20k miles. Normal driving. Dealer wants me to have “induction service.” TSB #058 recommends against. But he’s also referring to it as a throttle body cleaning# TSB #010 seems to allow for this. Is he confusing the two services. I have always used top tier fuel an I...

    I have a 2015 Optima LE. I bought it in June 2017 with 12,850 miles. I currently have 36K+ miles on it. I have been getting it serviced by the Dealer. So far it has just been oil change and filter, check fluids, rotate tires add air and such. Price about $60.00 No problem. On the last oil...

    I have a 2011 Optima 2.4L and need the factory service manual. Is this possible to get without paying the ridiculous fee that Kia wants you to pay to access thier site.
  9. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So, over the weekend, while I changed brake pads, I also rotated the tires and changed the oil. When I reset the meters for both, instead of showing a countdown, it instead showed me "Not Use" in both fields. Why would it say this, and is there a way to fix it to show the countdown?
  10. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I had a first service today and the cost was $148 for total 5w-30 oil, oil filter, filter gasket, tires rotation and 1 hour work. Even if the first one was free looks like a little to much to me for the oil change. What do you usually pay for oil change at dealership?
  11. The Service Center
    Is it worth $199.99 at the dealer? Do they just pour Techron in the tank and call it a day? Or they take the cover off and physically clean the valves?

    I went to go get my oil changed..... And for $35 and includes a multipoint inspection... It is a good deal. What I don't think is a good value is Kia's Recommended Service Minimum $405 Value $644 Preferred $888 What actually needs to be done to keep the warranty active??

    Hello everyone. I have a 2013 Optima LX in remington red with EX wheels. Just replaced the hood and trunk emblems as they have begun to fade. Currently having some funny noise front the engine when AC is on so I'm looking forward to posting an official question on the service forums to get some...
  14. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    I have the FSM for my beloved Nissan. The most useful instance was when I received my Tein SS coilovers, I was able to print the page showing the exploded view of the suspension and take it to the dealer to buy every nut, bolt and washer to fully build the coils prior to installing, without...
  15. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Just called my local dealer to schedule an appointment for an oil change and to look at a few minor issues under warranty. The guy mentioned there is an open service bulletin for the panoramic sunroof, but I haven't been able to find anything about it online. Searching some TSB websites with...

    Where's the best place to obtain a 2013 Optima EX Service Manual? Any links would be helpful. (Free would be perfect) If not, lowest cost obviously. :D Thanks!

    Hey guys. Have any of you had the fuel induction service done?

    Service Action SA270A Pano Sunroof: I've got to return and Leave the car following an Oil-Chg, so I'm posting this in case you've got known Service coming up and want to save a 2nd trip. It's VIN specific but per the Svc Writer the "Action" involves an Acid Solution and some cleaning / Oiling...

    Just did a DIY 45k mile service on my 2015 Optima Turbo which included new plugs, an oil and filter change, and a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank and that is it. Now my check engine light is on (Cyl 1/3 misfire) and it runs a bit rough at idle (intermittent drop in RPM). While...
