That’s why Kia give a 7 year warranty.That’s one thing I applaud Tesla for, not having the BS of full service history for the warranty.With Kia eniro it’s every 10000 miles so for someone who actually uses their car means I have to pay them to kick the tyres every 8 months and then go separately to get an MOT.Once a year or 20k servicing would be more than enough for an EV.
Always decline the "Free" washAccording to Kia EVs forums this is not a thing that main dealers do now. £250 to keep the warranty going. Not sure why it was a major service.Looking forward to see what they do for the next ‘minor’ service. Probably won’t even move it from the carpark.0 -
Don't need washer fluid topping up, always use the same brand & do not want garage messing it up.
I know wheels were rotated, thanks to marks on them.
All depends on the dealer. Thankfully I have a good one.
There are good & bad. Sadly as franchises, manufacture has little control over them.
