Oil Change Service in Elmira, NY

Oil Change Service in Elmira, NY

Getting an oil change can make a drastic difference in how your car feels to pilot. This is largely due to the essential role that oil plays in a vehicle engine’s performance, and if you’re not aware of its importance, then we at Williams Kia of Elmira are here to give you some insights on the topic, so read on!

The Importance of Oil

From the moment you start your car to take to the streets of Elmira, your car’s engine is working hard until you power the vehicle off. During this time, it’s constantly generating heat and what prevents that heat from being a major issue is oil. This liquid not only cools the engine off, but it also lubricates the powertrain sufficiently while it functions. In most cases, it’s a good rule of thumb to have an oil change done every 3,000 miles, because the fluid will have most likely been mostly used up by the engine at that point. However, always check the Owner’s Manual for your specific Kia model to ascertain the most accurate information.

Red Flags

If you’ve ever taken a ride to Brand Park and noticed strange sounds like knocking and grinding coming from beneath the hood of your vehicle, then there’s a possibility that you're hearing the engine. This happens due to low oil levels, as the motor is no longer getting the proper lubrication that it requires. In the worst case scenario, you might even witness smoke coming from beneath the hood of the vehicle. Should that occur, we strongly recommend ceasing all your future trips and scheduling an appointment at our Service Department as soon as possible for an oil change.

Types of Oil

When you visit our dealership that’s located right off Route 64, one of the first things we’ll need to do for your vehicle is determine what type of oil it uses. Synthetic oil and conventional oil are the two types you should be aware of, as each serves a different purpose. The synthetic option is generally more expensive and most commonly used in newer models, but it has longer staying power and will add more time to how long you can drive your vehicle before needing another oil change. Conventional oil comes at a lower cost and is used more in older models whose engines are designed to work with its crude base. Because we carry both here at our dealership, we’ll be able to service your car effectively, so be sure to stop by during our hours of operation!

Our experience with Williams Kia was nothing short of amazing! We had the best sales woman, her name was Carrie. She took what is usually a not so fun experience and made it simple and exciting. We will definitely return to her for our next vehicle. Thanks Carrie

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the service center. I was in a time crunch and Bill and Holly went above and beyond to take care of the issues I was having with my car and getting it inspected. They were super pleasant and were able to fit me in. It meant so much to me they were so helpful because I do not know much about cars and I took my car to Mavis tire previously to try to get my check engine light turned off but they did not fix the problem. They were able to figure out why my light was on, drive it 50 miles and inspect my car all in a matter of a few days. They are kind, genuine people and although I do not live in town anymore, I would make the drive to get their service.

Ashley Good is amazing

I didn't buy a car...yet. I worked with Ashley Good and she has amazing integrity and ethics. She wants everything to make sense instead of just making a sale. The deal wasn't right for me at this time; I'm keeping my 2020 truck for now. Ashley knew it wasn't right. We discussed it at length and agreed it just didn't make sense - she said she wasn't comfortable with it at all. She offered complete understanding and ZERO pressure. I WILL buy my next vehicle from her and I WILL refer people to her in the interim. Go talk with Ashley - she can sell you anything on a Williams lot, not just Kia. I promise, you won't regret it. Update July 31st, 2021... My mom drove off in a cute 2021 Toyota CH-R today that she purchased through Ashley. It was absolutely the right car and deal for her. No haggle pricing and quick easy deal. Ashley took her time during delivery to go over all of the technology and answer my mom's questions. GO SEE ASHLEY!!

Brian is very easy to deal with

After getting the (Simmons Rockwell) runaround several times from the service manager on our Nissan at Simmons Rockwell we decided to come to Williams Kia, very glad we did. Dealt with Brian in sales and he was very easy to deal with and not at all pushy. Basically we ended up buying a new vehicle and the entire process from start to final price was very good. Done with Simmons Rockwell finally. Thank you to Williams Kia.

We stumbled upon the dealership, which is an hour away from our home, during a road trip to pick up our daughter from college. After a test drive of the Kia Sportage, we were sold. We were so thrilled with the price, service, and quality of the product, we ended up making a lease deal through Don that very day. It could not have been easier and they took care of every detail. Such a GREAT experience!

Josh was a very professional salesman.

Josh was a very professional salesman. Really not too pushy at all. He treated with much kindness and respect. Josh was very knowledgeable of the vehicle we were buying. Read much about this vehicle in Consumer Research magazine. Yes, I spent some money but it's the very first brand new car we've owned and we've been married 38 years. Williams Toyota is a wonderful dealership, very nice personnel. Like I said Josh was great.

Sales staff were accommodating and friendly.
