The First 7,500 Miles: Getting Started Right
Your first service visit sets the foundation for your Sportage's longevity. At this initial milestone, we perform a complete oil and filter change using genuine Kia parts. Our certified technicians also rotate your tires to ensure even wear, inspect all fluid levels, and check your battery's condition. We'll examine your brakes, belts, and hoses while looking for any early signs of unusual wear that could indicate alignment issues or other concerns.
15,000 Miles: Building on the Basics
Your second service appointment expands on the initial visit. Along with another oil change and tire rotation, we add a cabin air filter inspection to ensure you're breathing clean air. Our team examines your cooling system, tests your brake fluid, and inspects the exhaust system for any deterioration. This is also when we begin monitoring your brake pad thickness more closely, as driving habits can significantly impact wear rates.
30,000 Miles: Mid-Range Maintenance
This milestone represents a more comprehensive service interval. In addition to the standard oil change and tire rotation, we replace your air filter and cabin air filter. Our technicians perform a detailed inspection of your suspension components, steering system, and drive axles. We'll check your spark plugs and examine the fuel system. If your Sportage has an automatic transmission, we'll inspect the fluid condition to ensure it's still protecting your drivetrain properly before your next commute past Freestone District Park.
60,000 Miles: Major Service Checkpoint
This is one of the most important service appointments for your Sportage. Beyond the routine oil change and tire rotation after extensive journeys down Highway 60, we replace your spark plugs and perform a thorough brake system inspection. The engine air filter gets changed, and we conduct a comprehensive cooling system service, which may include a coolant flush and replacement. We'll also inspect your timing belt or chain, depending on your engine type, as this critical component requires careful monitoring. Battery testing becomes especially important at this mileage, and we'll examine all drive belts for cracks or glazing.
90,000 Miles and Beyond: Sustaining Performance
As your Sportage approaches higher mileage, maintenance becomes increasingly important. At 90,000 miles, we repeat many of the 60,000-mile services while paying extra attention to any parts that may need replacement. The transmission fluid should be changed if it hasn't been already, and we'll thoroughly inspect all suspension bushings and joints. Your brake fluid should be flushed and replaced to prevent moisture accumulation that can damage the system on trips past places like Gilbert Regional Park.

“ I've been in and out of there quite a few times being very indecisive of what vehicle I wanted to get. Aaron, my salesman, was awesome through the whole process. He really listened to what I wanted to do and helped me get a really great deal. This is the best car buying experience I have ever had. Highly recommend Aaron and the team at Horne Kia! ”

I just bought a used Ford Bronco
“ I just bought a used Ford Bronco from Horne Kia and had a great experience. My sales rep Jacob was very friendly and knowledgeable; a pleasure to deal with. After looking at the CARFAX, I see that in prepping this vehicle for sale, they replaced all 4 tires, changed the oil and installed a new air filter and cabin air filter. They surely could have squeezed out more profit by not doing any of this work, so I’m so appreciative of them doing so. And I even drove away with a full tank of gas. Thank you Jacob and Horne Kia ”

I highly recommend anyone looking for KIA to stop in and ask for DAMIAN! He knows his stuff!
“ We just purchased a KIA EV6 WIND from Damian Wisdom at HORNE KIA. We are his first EV Sale! He made this purchase easy and smooth! He was able to answer all our questions! Looked them up if unsure. I wanted white…he looked in his inventory and came out and said “let’s go check out your UNICORN!” EV’s are hard to get and usually a waiting list…I feel lucky to have stopped in here and actually get what I was looking for! Way to go Damian! I wish you the BEST in all your future sales and I highly recommend anyone looking for KIA to stop in and ask for DAMIAN! He knows his stuff! ”
Overall, we had a Good experience.
“ Found the perfect vehicle at Horne Kia. We came to look for a Kia Sorento in wolf gray. The dealership had it and was inside the show room. Looked classy, modern, and sporty. The color took the vehicle to another level. Pleased with the sales rep Ali, the manager Ray, financing with Tom. They were very patient with us as we were undecided to many times. Tom was easy to work with and smooth signing at the financing. No hassle or pressure from these guys. Went home with my beautiful vehicle. Overall, we had a Good experience. ”
