The Kia Service Center at Folsom Lake Kia provides a range of services and support, including oil changes, tire rotations, and inspections. We also want to empower drivers by sharing the information they need to care for their cars. Learn about the top signs that your vehicle needs service when you visit Folsom Lake Kia.

Your Fuel Efficiency Drops

One of the clearest indications that your vehicle is no longer operating at its top capacity is a sudden drop in fuel economy. This typically indicates that one or more of the parts or systems are no longer functioning properly, and it may lead to damage to surrounding parts and systems. Sudden fuel economy drops may also occur due to low fluid levels, like oil, in which case you’ll still want to bring your car in for service and care.

You Hear or Smell Something Strange

Always pay attention to the sounds and smells coming from your vehicle. Different sounds can indicate different issues, like grinding or squealing due to worn brake pads, or a ticking sound when the battery is at low capacity. If you smell sulfur, that may indicate corrosion to the battery, which will require immediate service, as well.

It Vibrates or Pulls to the Side

How does your vehicle feel out on the road? Issues with driver control, like vibrations or pulling to one side when driving, may indicate more serious problems below the surface, like suspension, alignment, or brake system complications. Whether the change is sudden or slow to develop, it should still be addressed with Kia service.
