A motor can be an engine, but an engine cannot be a motor.

Anyone seen an update on this? Just curious to know if those crooks at the Kia dealership made things right

Mines next to military base. Their entire business model is fricking people over. I go to valvoline express and watch them change the oul and make sure they put the right type in. Takes 20 minutes instead of 2 hours like "scheduled service" at kia.

A lot of times the warranty requires you to get serviced at the dealership. This is against the law in the US. Maybe some sort of service plan but not a warranty. It's called Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Was passed in 1975.


Someone should tell Kia/Hyundai about this law.

lol

Tell that to Northside Motor Exchange.

I can still hear Sid Crocker, public address broadcaster for LSU football games, announcing the ads for Northside Motor Exchange, followed by Butch Baum Insurance.

This applies to a factory warranty. Some dealers offer warranties (ex: Lifetime Warranty) longer than the standard factory warranty that has terms such as requiring service at their dealership to retain that additional warranty. Though I am sure the dealer would do anything possible to find an out of such a warranty.
