Kia Repair in Pasadena

Engine Diagnostics

OEM-level Kia/Hyundai diagnostic software. We access all modules — not just generic OBD codes — for accurate fault diagnosis.

Transmission Service

DCT, automatic, and CVT fluid changes. Kia DCT shudder at low speeds is often fluid degradation — diagnosed and serviced properly.

Suspension & Alignment

Struts, control arms, ball joints, wheel bearings. Telluride and Sorento front suspension components wear with age and mileage.

A/C Service

Recharge, leak diagnosis, compressor replacement. Kia compressors on higher-mileage vehicles are a common failure point.

Kia Models We Work On

My Kia has a Theta II engine. What should I know?

Some Theta II engines in Kia Optima, Sorento, and Sportage models had oil supply issues that led to engine failure. Kia extended coverage on many of these. We can check your VIN for any outstanding recalls or extended warranty coverage.

Do you work on Kia EVs?

For standard maintenance and non-high-voltage electrical work, yes. High-voltage battery service on the EV6 requires specific EV tooling we're building toward.

My Kia Stinger check engine light is on. Can you diagnose it?

Yes. We have OEM Kia diagnostic software that covers the Stinger's 2.0T and 3.3T engines, as well as all other modules.

Can you service my Kia under warranty at your shop?

Kia's warranty doesn't require dealer service. You can use any licensed shop and maintain your warranty — just keep service records. We provide itemized invoices.

My Kia Carnival sliding door is slow or sticking. Can you look at that?

Power sliding door issues are electrical and mechanical — motors, tracks, sensors. Yes, we diagnose and repair those.
