Car Repair: DIY and When to Obtain Professional El Paso Kia Service
There are several car repair services and some preventive maintenance you can do yourself to save some money. Most of these are simple and easy to do, and do not require the assistance of your El Paso Kia dealer car repair professional mechanic.

• Windshield Wipers: Replacing windshield wipers is not difficult, since most wiper blades are able to be replaced by pushing on a small tab and releasing them from the wiper arm. It is important to match the new wiper blades with your vehicle and obtain the correct size.
• Air Filter: Most air filters are directly on top or next to the engine under the hood and are contained in a black box. There are typically retaining clips you have to unsnap to open the box to take out the old air filter and put a new one in. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes to complete.
• Headlights/Turn Signal Lights: Depending on the make and model of Kia vehicle you own, access to the headlamps and turn signal lights is a matter of opening the hood or trunk and replacing the bulbs by finding the bulb holder, twisting it to open, and pulling it out of the headlight or taillight assembly.
• Fuses: Most fuse boxes are easy to access and are either under the hood directly to one side of the engine, or underneath the dash with a pull-out cover. If you notice the same fuse continues to blow, it could signify a more serious problem, so a trip to your Kia dealer’s service department is recommended.
• Brake Pads: For those people who are extremely confident in their automotive abilities, changing brake pads is not a difficult process. Do keep in mind, it is better to replace brake pads before they are metal-on-metal. Otherwise, you will have to visit your El Paso Kia service center to have the brake rotors turned so they are smooth and even for correct brake pad wear.
• Oil and Oil Filter: In the past, doing this service at home could save you some money, but, today, the cost for an oil change is competitively priced at your El Paso Kia Dealer and ensures the oil and filter are disposed of in an eco-friendly manner.
