What Factory Training Includes
A Kia certification badge is only the start — here’s the actual training and equipment behind it.
Kia-Certified Training Program
Our technicians work through Kia’s actual factory curriculum, not a watered-down course shared across brands.
Factory Diagnostic Tools & Software
The exact scan tools and software Kia’s own engineers rely on — no aftermarket substitutes.
Genuine Parts & Technical Bulletins
Direct access to Kia parts and the manufacturer bulletins written for your exact model.
Ongoing Training on New Models
Our techs stay current through continuing education as Kia rolls out new hybrid, EV, and platform tech.
When Factory Training Matters Most
Built Around Your Kia
Every Kia sold in the US comes with a factory maintenance schedule written by Kia engineers for that specific powertrain and platform, including the Niro EV's battery-electric drivetrain. Our technicians train specifically on those platforms, with access to genuine parts and Kia’s own technical bulletins.
Find your model’s exact plan on the Kia maintenance schedule — serviced by technicians trained on it firsthand.
When It Matters Most
A generalist mechanic handles a lot just fine — but factory training makes the biggest difference for:
Recalls, campaigns, or software updates — dealer-only work
High-voltage hybrid or EV system repairs
Repairs that fall under your warranty
An intermittent electrical or dashboard-warning issue
Anything you want documented under factory warranty
Who’s Actually Working on Your Kia?
Not everyone who services a Kia trains the same way. Here’s how the three options stack up.
Independent Mechanic
General automotive knowledge
Wide-ranging repair know-how
Comfortable across many makes & models
Genuine Kia parts can be hard to source
No Kia factory training
Chain/Quick-Lube Shop
Fast, basic maintenance
Fast turnaround on basic maintenance
Predictable locations & hours
Diagnostics don’t go very deep
No Kia factory training
Kia-Certified
Kia Factory-Trained Technician
Specific to your Kia
Kia factory certification & tooling
Genuine Kia parts & technical bulletins
Documented factory warranty coverage
Trained specifically on hybrid & EV systems
Any of the three can handle an oil change — only one trains specifically on your Kia, with the parts and tools to back it up.
Why Choose Our Factory-Trained Technicians?
Who’s under the hood matters just as much as what they do. Here’s what your Kia dealer offers that the shop down the street can’t — while still matching their pricing.
Factory-Trained Kia Technicians
Our technicians train specifically on Kia systems — engine, electrical, hybrid, and EV — not a smattering of every brand.
Genuine Kia Parts
We go straight to OEM parts built for your exact model. Aftermarket “universal fit” parts are a common cause of repeat visits — and can put warranty coverage at risk.
Recall & Software Checks — Free
Recalls, campaigns, and software updates can only be handled at a Kia dealer — we check for all three every time you’re in. Check your recalls, free for any Kia owner in the Pine Belt.
Factory Warranty, Documented
Each visit is logged automatically against your factory warranty requirements — nothing to file, no gaps to justify — the choice of Kia owners throughout the Pine Belt.
Transparent, Upfront Pricing
We diagnose, then quote — nothing starts until you say go. No hidden add-ons waiting at checkout.
We Know What Kias Need
With hundreds of Kias through our bays every month, we know the exact parts, torque specs, and procedures your Kia calls for.

“After a wreck totaled my Sorento, I came to Dean McCrary to get another one. Daniel Saucier was my salesperson and he made things so easy and seamless! I ended up leaving in a brand-new 2026 Sorento that I love even more. Thanks Daniel!”
