    Kia Sorento 2010: Will the warranty be void if it isn't serviced by a Kia dealer?

    Kia Kia Advice Kia Sorento Kia Sorento Advice Kia Sorento 2010

    Would the warranty on my 2010 Kia Sorento be affected if I had my car serviced by a licensed reputable mechanic rather than a Kia dealer? The mechanic would use Kia parts if needed. The nearest Kia dealer is quite a distance away and I have had my previous car serviced locally for many years.

    You can have your car serviced by a non-factory mechanic without affecting the warranty, but it can present difficulties if it were to come to a claim against the Kia warranty. You can get into an argument about the competence of the person who worked on the car and whether it not they followed the Kia recommendations etc. But if you have a mechanic you trust to do the work "by the book" then there is no legal issue.
