Certified Kia Collision Repair

A Kia Certified collision centre meets rigorous standards established by Kia Canada. These facilities employ technicians trained specifically in Kia’s vehicle construction, safety systems, and repair procedures. Certified centres use genuine Kia OEM parts and have access to Kia’s technical repair specifications and advanced diagnostic tools. This certification ensures your vehicle is repaired to Kia’s exact factory specifications, preserving its safety ratings and warranty coverage.

Kia recommends following the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual, which varies by model. Most Kia vehicles require an oil change and basic inspection every 8,000 kilometers or every 6 months under normal driving conditions.

For severe driving conditions—such as frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, or heavy traffic—service may be needed every 6,000 kilometers. Major services are typically scheduled at longer intervals ranging from 24,000 to 96,000 kilometers.

While aftermarket parts are available, using genuine Kia OEM parts is highly recommended, especially for collision and safety-related repairs. Genuine Kia parts are engineered specifically for your vehicle and meet Kia’s quality and safety standards.

Aftermarket parts may not fit properly, could compromise safety systems, and may void portions of your warranty. Kia Certified collision centres exclusively use genuine OEM parts for all repairs.

First, ensure everyone’s safety and call emergency services if needed. Exchange information with other parties and contact your insurance company to report the accident. Document the scene with photos from multiple angles.

Ask your insurance provider about using a Kia Certified collision centre. Avoid driving if you notice fluid leaks, unusual noises, warning lights, or if airbags have deployed. Keep all accident documentation and repair records for insurance and warranty purposes.

Having your Kia repaired at a certified collision centre helps protect your manufacturer’s warranty. Kia’s warranty requires repairs be performed according to factory specifications using approved methods and genuine parts.

Uncertified repairs using aftermarket parts or improper techniques could void warranty coverage on related components. Certified collision centres document all repairs according to Kia’s requirements, providing proof that work was completed to manufacturer standards—crucial for future warranty claims or resale value.
