Key Takeaways: The EV6 eliminates oil changes, spark plugs, transmission fluid, and exhaust system maintenance entirely, resulting in meaningful savings over 100,000 miles compared to a gas Kia Tires wear faster on the EV6 than on comparable gas models due to the vehicle’s weight and instant torque delivery, making rotation intervals more important than most…
Summer in Beavercreek means more traffic on Pentagon Boulevard and North Fairfield Road, more stop and go commuting, and pavement temperatures that can climb well past what your brakes deal with in cooler months.

A Kia Telluride owner came into our service bay last month after his infotainment system had been freezing and rebooting on his daily commute on I-675 between Beavercreek and Kettering for nearly six weeks.

A Kia Telluride owner came in last March after noticing a loud hum from the front axle on I-675 that hadn’t been there in the fall. He had leaned heavily on Terrain Mode through a tough Greene County winter, assuming the system was managing his tires through the ice and snow on Heller Drive and…
Last month, a Kia EV6 came in from Fairborn after its owner had noticed his displayed range had not recovered to expected levels even as March temperatures climbed into the 50s.
