Kia Forte L4-1.8L - Car is not starting Inspection - Sun City, Arizona
He arrived on time. We talked about the problem I was having with my car. He took a look at the vehicle and found it was the battery. He explained the billing info including the purchase of a new battery. He asked if I wanted him to purchase one for me. I said yes, and he went down to the store, bought a battery, returned, and installed it. He took the car out and drove it to see if everything was working OK. I was very impressed with his service and will highly recommend him to others and use him again if I have any problems with my car.

Ralph was great! Very fast, very nice, immediately knew the problem and was able to reassure us that it wasn’t something horribly expensive. 13/10 will ask for Ralph by name next time!

My car makes a weird squeaking sound when I hit the accelerator.

This is a common sign of a loose or worn belt. Over time, your car's engine belts may become worn causing them to stretch. When this happens as you press the gas pedal and the belt goes from a relatively...

Without being able to hear the sound and also with no TSB's (technical service bulletins) out from KIA for known issues that match your issue, it will be hard to make an accurate recommendation. Deep rumble sounds are often caused...

Why is my 2010 kia forte sound like it is grinding when I'm driving but when I push the gas harder it stops?
Answered by Marvin
Hi there. If your vehicle is emitting a noise when driving but when you apply more acceleration the noise goes away, then there could be an issue with the engine's lubrication system. Check the engine oil level and make sure...
