Maintenance Warning Signs in Gilbert, AZ
As wear and tear accumulates in your Kia Telluride, Carnival, or other model, you will begin to see signs that maintenance is required. Here at our Horne Kia Service Department, our team can take care of any issue that arises. Stop by after you read the rest of this article about what to look for.
Unusual Noises
A grinding or high-pitched squealing noise from the wheels is a common indicator of needing a brake inspection and repair, as this occurs when the pads begin to wear down. When this is heard from the engine instead, then the belt or other part may be loose or has grown too thin over time. Chugging or knocking noises from within tend to accompany fuel issues, such as problems with spark plugs or a hole in the exhaust. If you turn on your vehicle and loud clicking greets you, then the battery might need to be swapped out. It’s also possible that the alternator requires an inspection before your next commute past Freestone District Park. In rare cases, there could be a connection that is draining power from the battery.
Fluid Leaks
If you spot a puddle of liquid underneath your Kia, then schedule an appointment with our team of certified technicians as soon as possible. Brightly colored iridescent fluids are coolant, which is important to keep the climate control system of your vehicle. Oily dripping should be looked at closely, as lubricant can be mistaken for the kind in the motor. However, if it’s under the wheels, then the brake lines may have a leak. Alternatively, the transmission could have a broken seal, gasket, or solenoid. A dark or dirty color in a pool below your car, truck, or SUV could just mean that the oil needs to be changed. Regardless of what is wrong, our team of certified technicians can diagnose and handle it.
Handling and Performance Issues
When the wheels in your Kia begin to lose traction on your way past Veteran's Park, a tire rotation service could be what solves it. Steering wheels that pull to the side indicate misalignment or uneven tread wear. A bouncy ride and difficult handling can alert you to the suspension system needing maintenance. Those who push the brakes and find the vehicle beginning to lose control might want to stop by our location, as the pads could be worn down to the point that service is required. Our team of mechanics stocks OEM parts to maintain the factory-grade performance of the car that you drive. Plus, there are generous specials to help you afford to maintain it.

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 ”

“ 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. ”

“ I have been using Horne Kia to service my 2016 Kia Sorento and been very pleased with the service I received from their Service Department. When it came time to trade into a newer vehicle, Horne Kia was the first place I turned. They had a great website where I could preview the inventory so I knew they had what I was looking for before I went in. I submitted a my trade for valuation online and was promptly responded to by Bryan Dillard. We set up a time to take a look at the vehicles I was interested in and Bryan helped us through the whole process. I recommend contacting Bryan Dillard if you are in the market for a new or preowned vehicle. He was genuinely a pleasure to work with. Additional shout out to Hadair Fadlallah who treated us fairly as we negotiated the deal and Wendy DiPernia in finance who was also great to work with as we completed the purchase contract. ”
