I recently bought a kia sportage & had its 5000 KM service from Kia Dealership. The cost of oil change & filter is much higher than expected and they charged around 11,000+ for the job. It looks like in order to put the warranty intact, one has to pay a lot of money to these dealerships.
I have certain concerns regarding this and would like to know:
1. What if i maintain the oil change / filter change from shell Company operated pumps?
2. Being new car, if i skip the maintenance from dealership, warranty will be void. Have anyone claimed any warranty yet?
3. What about other maintenance works? do i have to have it done as per owner manual from outside?
Please share your valuable suggestions
