Kia Repair and Service in Arvada, CO

Kia and Hyundai share platforms, engines, and transmissions — so if you read our Hyundai page, a lot of that applies here too. The Theta II engine recall that affects the Sonata and Tucson also affects the 2011-2019 Kia Optima, Sportage, and Sorento with the 2.0L and 2.4L four-cylinder. Same engine, same problem, same urgency.

Beyond the Theta II issue, Kias are good, affordable cars. The Forte is a solid commuter, the Sportage and Sorento are popular family haulers, and the Telluride has been one of the best-received SUVs in years. We service all Kia models and handle everything from oil changes to engine replacements.

The Kia Stinger GT is worth mentioning — it's a 3.3L twin-turbo V6 rear-wheel-drive (or AWD) sedan that shares its powertrain with the Genesis G70. It's a capable performance car that doesn't get enough credit. We can service and maintain Stingers, and while we don't currently offer factory ECU tuning for the 3.3T platform, we can handle bolt-on upgrades and maintenance for owners who are modifying their cars.

Kia dealers in the Denver metro can have long wait times for service appointments — sometimes 2-3 weeks for non-emergency work. We can usually get your Kia in within a few days. For Theta II engine issues specifically, we know the recall process, can confirm whether your VIN is covered, and can do the replacement ourselves if it falls outside warranty coverage.

We treat every car the same regardless of the badge. Your Kia Sportage gets the same diagnostic process, the same quality parts, and the same attention as the Subaru STI on the next lift. That's how a shop should work.
