Kia reminds car owners to book PMS ahead of holiday trips

Before packing your bags for that family trip, make sure your car’s good to go. With the holidays coming up, Kia Philippines, through ACMobility, is reminding drivers to get their vehicles ready for long drives. Their Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) program was made to help car owners save money, stick to a clear service schedule, and have easy access to professional service centers around the country.

Jay Lopez, Managing Director of Kia Philippines, shared that the PMS program is built to help drivers keep their cars safe and running well without spending too much. It uses advanced tools that speed up the checking process, lower the chances of surprise breakdowns, and help customers spend less time at the service center.

Under the program, PMS visits are scheduled every 10,000 kilometers or every six months, whichever comes first. This setup gives drivers the flexibility to match their maintenance with travel plans, so they don’t have to worry about car problems while on a road trip. During each service visit, Kia technicians carefully inspect the vehicle, replace parts if needed, and update any software using only original Kia parts.

For those planning long-term ownership, the estimated total maintenance cost over five years or 100,000 kilometers is P85,076 for the Kia Sonet, P107,186 for the Sorento Turbo Hybrid, P109,175 for the Carnival Diesel, and P117,211 for the Carnival Hybrid. With these prices and Kia’s regular service setup, drivers can save as much as P76,000 over time. This makes Kia a smart choice for families who want reliable cars without high maintenance costs.

Kia’s service network includes 35 centers across the Philippines. Each one is staffed with technicians who are trained under the Kia Technician’s Boot Camp or KTBC program, which guarantees that customers receive expert care no matter which center they visit. The service centers are also stocked with genuine parts, and any parts that need to be sourced internationally are handled through reliable delivery partners, so delays are kept to a minimum.

As more people get ready for holiday travel, Kia recommends booking PMS appointments early. This helps avoid long wait times and ensures that the car is in good shape before hitting the road. With low costs, expert service, and a wide network of service centers, Kia makes it easier for families to travel with peace of mind.
