Auto Clinic Can Meet All Your Kia Repair and Maintenance Needs

We here at Auto Clinic are ready to handle your Kia repairs and maintenance needs. We're located in Pendleton, OR, 97801, and our staff is highly trained and knowledgeable about Kia vehicles.

Kia, the South Korean automotive company that's famous for its SUVs, compact and efficient sedans and luxury aspirations, is a brand that combines affordability with great style and options. If you're looking for a reliable, affordable shop to service your Kia, Auto Clinic at Pendleton, OR is the best choice in the area.

Kias are well engineered, reliable and fun to drive, but some do have steering problems that do crop up from time to time. Not every Kia faces steering problems, but without proper maintenance, it can be an issue down the road - pun intended.

    • Vehicle Tips

      According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

    • Vehicle Tips

      The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

    • Vehicle Tips

      Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

    • Vehicle Tips

      A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.

    • Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

  • I'm not sure that "thank you" is enough for helping Bradon out with his pickups. I truly appreciate everything you've done to help him and your kindness is appreciated! Sincerely, Bradon's mom


    -Candi R.

  • Great work and good service. Have had several visits here for different vehicles. Fast service and the proprietor explains the issues well before proceeding with the work. I just had my truck AC worked on. The cost actually ended up to be less than the estimate. Sweet!


    -Tracy B.

  • We ran into car trouble when driving through Pendleton and Mike saved the day. The staff at our hotel referred us to him. We called him at 5:30pm and asked if he could check it out the next morning, which he did. In the morning they checked the car out and within an hour had a diagnosis and fix, along with a detailed explanation of what happened. The charge was way cheaper than we had anticipated. Mike is like Dr. House - seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of cars and runs through his diagnostic algorithms like an expert. Super friendly and efficient. Wish we lived here so he could be our regular mechanic. :)


    -Lara J.

  • When our Van died, we were able to get it to here. They took a look and gave us the bad news that the engine was dead. They went over all possible options with us honestly. Even when it was decided to have the Van towed back to Tacoma by a friend, they went out of their way to help us out until he got there!


    -Sean K.

  • Big thank you to Mike & crew for squeezing us in to troubleshoot issues with our pickup when traveling through. No dealer within 50 miles could see us, he made time. While we were sitting there two other travelers stopped with vehicle troubles that they helped and advised. Thank you again!!


    -Francie L.

  • Stranded in Pendleton, we were at the mercy of Mike & crew to get us back running and at no time did we feel taken advantage of. Similar to others, we broke down on the hill near Pendleton and were towed to the Auto Clinic. Our tow guy recommended Mike over a few other places in town. By the next morning, we got a call thoroughly explaining what Mike thought happened and that he couldn't strongly recommend any service as he wasn't sure if it'd fix it. We were super impressed that an auto shop didn't recommend any service. We ended up getting an oil flush to be on the safe side and safely got back home. Wish we had a place like this in Seattle!


    -Angela L.

  • I have had the Auto Clinic work on several of my cars when the need arises. Mike is always informative and fair. I trust these people completely and I would highly recommend that next time you need automotive repair that you use the very capable people at the Auto Clinic.


    -Tom J.

  • They do good work and give good advice.


    -Cliff M.

  • This is an awesome Auto Clinic. They are personal, honest and trustworthy.


    -Patricia A.

  • My husband taught Automotive Classes at BMCC college for 26 years. He highly recommended Pendleton Auto Clinic for any needs. I have used them time and again for different vehicles. They are extremely honest, trustworthy and helpful going above and beyond. As a widow, I so appreciate they don't take advantage of my naivety.


    -Patty D.

  • Only place I will take my car for engine work. Excellent customer service.
