Recommended Kia Soul Maintenance
Maintaining your Kia Soul is vital if you expect it to last. Below is a small list of items we recommend to help keep your Kia in top shape. Performing these seven services will not only help the resale value of your Kia stay higher over the years, but it will also help you avoid additional unexpected expenses.
- Oil Change: Keeping the oil changed regularly can prevent expensive engine repairs down the road. We recommend changing the oil at 5,000-mile intervals or every six months. However, intervals might be different if you use synthetic oil. Check out the article we wrote on oil changes for more information.
- Tune-Up: Avoiding a tune-up will lead to fuel consumption and performance issues. A tune-up includes cleaning the air filter, changing spark plugs, adjusting idle speed, checking the coolant level, and inspecting all hoses. It’s also an excellent time to check tire pressure and replace worn tires. Check out the article we wrote on tune-ups to learn more.
- Tire Rotation: Tires are expensive, so rotating them roughly every 6,000 miles will help avoid how quickly they wear out. Depending on the type of vehicle, the time between rotations could be less. To learn more, check out the article we wrote on tire rotation.
- Brake Replacement: Having the brake pads checked every six months might help eliminate replacing the rotors. Rotors are expensive, so check out our brake replacement article for additional information.
- Windshield Wiper Blades: Changing the wiper blades when they start to go bad will help prevent unexpected scratches in the windshield. These scratches happen when the rubber of the wiper arm breaks off and exposes the metal underneath it. If you have a scratch on the windshield, check out our article on windshield scratch removal.
- Wash and Wax: Keeping the surface of your Kia Soul shiny and protected from harmful UV rays is essential. Leaving a car parked in the sun unprotected from other outside elements ultimately causes the paint to oxidize. Learn more about protecting your Kia’s paint by checking out the article we wrote on auto detailing.
- Dent Repair: Removing dents from the body of your vehicle will help it retain higher resale value and sell faster than one with dents. Paintless dent repair is an excellent low-cost method for eliminating these dents without needing collision repair.
Helpful Kia Soul Products
Below are some additional products that aren’t needed but we feel are helpful to Kia Soul drivers that like to take road trips. The items below help free up cabin space, improve visibility at night, and further protect the outside surface of the vehicle.
- Roof Racks: The Kia Soul is pretty spacious, but if you’re like me and have three kids and a wife to squeeze into the car, a rooftop cargo box or tow hitch rack is helpful on road trips. Visit our rooftop cargo box article to learn more.
- LED Headlights: Having a large spectrum of visibility while driving at night helps avoid accidents. LED headlights are an affordable way to upgrade your headlight system. Check out our LED headlights article for more information.
- Car Covers: Not everyone has a garage to protect their car, which is why we recommend car covers to help protect the paint. Check out the article we wrote on car covers to learn more about the cost and how they help can help protect your car.

FAQ
- How long does a Kia Soul windshield replacement take? On average, the amount of time to remove the old glass and install a new one takes 1 to 2 hours. However, it may not be safe to drive immediately after the installation. Check out our article on safe drive time to learn more.
- Does a rain sensor cause the price of a windshield to be higher? Advanced safety features such as rain sensors will not increase the price of your windshield. However, some advanced safety systems like lane change detection require a special calibration process, increasing the cost by more than $350.
- What’s the difference between an auto glass repair and replacement? A replacement involves removing the old glass and replacing it with a new one. A repair is fixing the damaged windshield by injecting special resin designed to restore the strength and integrity of the glass. If you have comprehensive insurance, glass shops might waive the deductible for repairs. Check with your insurance company on the type of glass coverage you have whether the laws in your state allow waiving of deductibles.
- Can you repair cracks in the windshield? Yes, however, it depends on the length of the crack. Injecting resin into a small six-inch crack will restore the integrity of the glass and help stop it from spreading further.
- Can a windshield crack spread further after it’s repaired? Yes, not all repairs are guaranteed when fixing windshield damage. If the crack runs to the outer edge of the glass, we recommend replacing it. Repairing a break that runs to the edge of the windshield can reopen when you hit a bump in the road since it doesn’t completely seal the outer edge.
- Is aftermarket glass as safe as my original windshield? An aftermarket windshield replacement is as safe as the original windshield since they use the same materials and technology. In addition, the average windshield replacement cost for aftermarket glass is usually 40 to 60 percent less than Dealer and OEM.
- How are some glass shops able to quote lower prices? Some shops will quote lower prices which may seem like a bargain but buying the cheapest windshield isn’t always the best option. Be sure to ask what type of glass they are using. We recommend avoiding generic glass manufactured overseas since they typically don’t match domestic glass manufacturers’ quality standards. Stick with OEM or Aftermarket and only go with Dealer if you want the manufacturer logo stamped on it.
- Can I save money by buying the glass and replacing it myself? You can save money by replacing the windshield yourself. But this isn’t recommended unless you’ve done it before. So many factors go into a proper installation, and incorrectly replacing the glass can cause safety issues for you and your passengers.
Key Takeaways
- The average Kia Soul windshield replacement cost is between $240 – $380.
- Bargain windshields aren’t always the best option. Instead, stick to OEM or Aftermarket for quality and safety reasons.
- Rain sensors won’t increase the windshield repair quote, but other advanced safety systems may require additional calibration that costs more.
- Auto insurance companies will waive deductibles to fix a small windshield chip or crack in most states.
