Will it hurt my Kia Forte to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What does a puddle underneath my Kia Forte mean?

Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.

What do hard starts and stops do to my Forte engine?

You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.

Kia Forte Engine Tune-Up Services

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Kia Forte engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.

This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Forte: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best.
