What Factory Training Includes
Kia certification means more than a patch on the uniform — here’s what our technicians genuinely train and work with.
Kia-Certified Training Program
Our technicians complete Kia’s own factory certification curriculum, not a generic multi-brand course.
Factory Diagnostic Tools & Software
We run the same scan tools and software Kia engineers use, not aftermarket workarounds.
Genuine Parts & Technical Bulletins
Direct access to Kia parts and manufacturer service bulletins matched to your exact model.
Ongoing Training on New Models
Continuing education keeps our techs current as Kia rolls out hybrid, EV, and new platforms.
When Factory Training Matters Most
Built Around Your Kia
Every Kia sold stateside comes with a factory maintenance schedule that Kia engineers wrote for its specific engine and platform. Our technicians train directly on those platforms, with genuine parts and Kia’s own technical bulletins close at hand.
Your model’s exact plan lives on the Kia maintenance schedule — serviced by technicians who trained on that very schedule.
When It Matters Most
A generalist mechanic covers a lot of ground, but factory training makes the real difference for:
Recalls, campaigns, or software updates only a dealer can run
High-voltage hybrid or EV system work
Repairs that could fall under warranty
An electrical or check-engine issue that comes and goes
Anything that needs to be logged under factory warranty
Who’s Actually Working on Your Kia?
Every shop that touches a Kia trains a little differently. Here’s how the three actually stack up.
Independent Mechanic
General automotive knowledge
Broad mechanical repair experience
Works across many makes & models
Limited access to genuine Kia parts
No Kia-specific factory training
Chain/Quick-Lube Shop
Fast, basic maintenance
Quick service for basic maintenance
Consistent locations & hours
Limited diagnostic depth
No Kia-specific factory training
Kia-Certified
Kia Factory-Trained Technician
Specific to your Kia
Kia factory certification & tooling
Genuine Kia parts & technical bulletins
factory warranty documentation
Trained on hybrid & EV systems
All three can handle an oil change, but only one trained specifically on your Kia and carries the parts and tools to back it up.
Why Choose Our Factory-Trained Technicians?
Who’s actually turning the wrench matters as much as what gets done. Here’s what your Kia dealer brings that a general shop can’t, at pricing that holds up against anyone down the street.
Factory-Trained Kia Technicians
Our techs train specifically on Kia systems — engine, electrical, hybrid, and EV — instead of splitting attention across every brand out there.
Genuine Kia Parts
We go straight to OEM parts matched to your exact model. Aftermarket “universal fit” parts are a top cause of repeat visits and can put your warranty coverage at risk.
Recall & Software Checks — Free
Open recalls, campaigns, and software updates happen only at a Kia dealer. We check all three every visit you’re here. Check your recalls — always free for Kia owners across the Pine Belt.
Factory Warranty, Documented
Every visit gets logged automatically against your factory warranty requirements, so there’s nothing to save and nothing to explain — the standard Kia owners across the Pine Belt count on.
Transparent, Upfront Pricing
We diagnose first and quote after, and nothing happens until you sign off — checkout never comes with hidden add-ons.
We Know What Kias Need
With hundreds of Kias through our bay each month, we already know the exact parts, torque values, and procedures your Kia calls for.
Kia Factory-Trained Technicians FAQs
What Makes a Kia Factory-Trained Technician Different?⌄
A Kia factory-trained technician completes Kia’s own certification curriculum, works with OEM diagnostic tools and software, and has direct access to genuine Kia parts and manufacturer bulletins for your exact model, rather than a generalized, multi-brand skill set.
Do Factory-Trained Technicians Cost More?⌄
Not always. Choose your Kia above for current pricing and coupons, which often hold up well against independent shops while still including genuine parts, factory tooling, and factory warranty documentation a generalist shop simply can’t offer.
Are Dean McCrary Kia’s Technicians Certified by Kia?⌄
Yes — our technicians complete Kia’s factory training and certification program, covering everything from routine maintenance to hybrid and EV high-voltage systems.
Can a Factory-Trained Technician Work on My Hybrid or EV?⌄
Yes — our technicians train continuously as Kia adds hybrid and electric models, including high-voltage battery and motor systems that call for safety certification most independent shops simply don’t carry.
Does Using a Factory Technician Protect My Warranty?⌄
It does — every visit gets logged automatically against your factory warranty requirements, and repairs run on genuine Kia parts, which helps you avoid the coverage disputes that aftermarket parts or undocumented service can bring.
What Services Do Your Technicians Perform?⌄
Our factory-trained technicians handle every system on every Kia model, from oil changes and brake service to diagnostics, engine repair, and full factory maintenance.
Can I Finance My Kia Service?⌄
Yes — service financing splits your oil change, brake job, or any repair into monthly payments. The application takes about a minute at check-in, and checking your options never touches your credit score.
