With the purchase of a Kia vehicle, you get immediate and incredible peace of mind. First of all, it's because of the great reliability of our models, but also because you benefit from a warranty which offers you complete coverage right from the start.
Better yet, you can also take advantage of other plans that push protection to new levels.
Basic Warranty
The basic warranty to which you are entitled when you purchase a Kia vehicle is 5 years and 100,000 kilometers. It covers the powertrain, transmission, axles, differential and drive shaft of the vehicle. Roadside assistance is also offered to you over 5 years, with no mileage limit, and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You even benefit from one-year protection on so-called consumer items such as light bulbs, windshield wipers, fuses or brake pads, for example. And if you get your hands on a hybrid vehicle, the system components are protected for 8 years or 150,000 km.
Additional Protections
Where it gets interesting is that Kia offers a number of additional protections that all have the same goal in mind; to protect you more and add to your peace of mind.
- A) Mechanical Breakdown Protection
Here, the options are numerous as you can create a protection program adapted to your needs to protect you against mechanical breakdowns and failures. We even arrange for the rental of a vehicle to get you to your destination.
- B) Aesthetic protection
The objective with this coverage is to protect the interior and exterior surfaces of your vehicle. Damage to the interior, a shattered windshield, dents on a door after a visit to the mall, everything is thought of here so that your vehicle can keep its fresh appearance and value, despite the years.
- C) Service Advantage Program
Service Advantage locks the cost of future repairs to today's prices so you can better plan your budget. You simply purchase a number of shop visits for oil changes, tire rotation or other maintenance services, and use them at your convenience.
- D) Excessive Wear Protection
When returning a rental vehicle, there may be a charge if repairs are required to the body or interior of the vehicle. Excess Wear Protection protects you up to an additional $3500 in charges. Here's a good way to get a good night's sleep throughout your rental agreement.
- E) Loan Protection
Flexibility is the name of the game here as you can build a loan protection plan that fits your needs. The goal is simple: to insure you in the event of disability, involuntary job loss, illness, etc.
- F) Vehicle Loss Privilege Program
In the event of theft or total loss, you are protected with the Vehicle Loss Program. Different plans are available, again so you can choose the one that's right for you. Don't hesitate to consult us to find out all about them.
