5 Ways Kia Protect Saves You Money on Vehicle Maintenance

Proper vehicle maintenance ensures your Kia delivers reliable performance for years to come. However, the costs associated with keeping your vehicle in top condition can impact your budget over time. Kia Protect offers smart solutions designed specifically for your vehicle, helping you manage these expenses while maintaining the highest standards of care.

Kia Protect makes achieving peace of mind easy with various protection options covering everything from mechanical components to appearance. Each program delivers tangible financial benefits that enhance your ownership experience.

Lock In Maintenance Costs at Today's Rates

Service Advantage allows you to secure current maintenance prices against future increases. This flexible prepaid maintenance program covers manufacturer-recommended service intervals with transparent pricing established at enrollment.

The program is designed to be tailored to your specific requirements—you choose how many service intervals to include and use them as needed. This customization ensures you get maximum value from each scheduled service while maintaining your vehicle according to Kia's specifications.

Your prepaid maintenance plan covers essential services from oil changes to EV charging system checks, keeping your vehicle in peak condition. Service Advantage is available for models from 2017 onwards, with terms and conditions based on your selected coverage plan.

Prevent Costly Major Repairs

Even the most well-engineered vehicles eventually require repairs. Kia Protect Extended Protection covers many costly vehicle components that can potentially fail over time, transforming unpredictable expenses into manageable costs.

By addressing potential issues early through comprehensive coverage, you avoid the significant expense of major component failures. This protection provides coverage precisely when repair frequency typically increases—available for vehicles within 7 model years and under 160,000 kilometres at the time of purchase.

For ultimate protection, EP 5 Star Plus combines Extended Protection with Service Advantage. This comprehensive plan provides both breakdown protection and coverage for your first few years of maintenance intervals, creating complete mechanical peace of mind.

Reduce Lease-End Expenses

Leasing your Kia should be a stress-free experience from start to finish. Kia Protect Excess Wear and Use gives you peace of mind by covering your vehicle's wear and tear costs at lease-end, eliminating financial surprises when you return your vehicle.

• Normal wear and tear coverage 
• Protection from common lease-end charges 
• Streamlined vehicle return process

This protection plan is available for all new Kia vehicles leased through Kia Motors Finance with 24,000 kilometres or less, making it an ideal addition for anyone entering a new lease agreement.

Preserve Your Vehicle's Appearance and Value

Your Kia's exterior and interior condition directly impacts its resale or trade-in value. Kia Protect Appearance Protection safeguards your vehicle from everyday hazards that diminish its condition.

This protection covers repair costs for door dings in parking lots, windshield chips, coffee spills, and more. The program is tailored to your needs and budget, ensuring your vehicle maintains its showroom appearance despite daily challenges.

Appearance Protection is available for all private use Kia models within 10 model years and less than 200,000 kilometres at the time of purchase. This makes it accessible for nearly all Kia owners looking to maintain their vehicle's visual appeal and market value.

Minimize Financial Impact of Vehicle Loss

The Vehicle Loss Privilege Program reduces financial burden by providing in-store credit when you experience a total loss. Don't let losing your vehicle impact your budget—this program helps you get back into a Kia sooner than expected.

Insurance typically provides only your vehicle's current market value, which may not cover the full cost of a comparable replacement. This protection bridges that gap, allowing you to replace your vehicle with less financial strain.

The Vehicle Loss Privilege Program is eligible for all makes and models within 6 model years and must be purchased within 7 days of your vehicle purchase date, making it an important consideration during your initial buying process.

Vehicle ownership involves ongoing expenses beyond your purchase price. Kia Protect programs transform unpredictable costs into manageable, budget-friendly solutions that protect both your vehicle and your finances. Every program is 100% supported by Kia Canada, with repairs performed by Kia Certified Technicians using only Kia Genuine Parts.
