Service and Repair of Kia Vehicles


When it comes to Kia, Chris Matthews Automotive in Southport, NC stands out for its unparalleled service. Kia began back in 1944 as a manufacturer of bicycle parts and steel tubing. Since then they have grown to now produce some of the most exciting economy class cars around. They have defined the new breed of economy cars - they don’t feel cheap and they perform exceptionally. Our service and repair team is proud to work on Kia vehicles and to help their owners keep them at the highest of standards for many years.

Kia currently produces several well-known cars: the Rio, Soul, Forte, Optima, Cadenza, Sportage, Sorento and Sedona are all frequently seen on the road. Our professional team are experts at keeping these cars operating the way they were made to. Just because these cars are affordable to buy doesn’t mean that our team doesn’t take them seriously. They know that your car is a big investment, and they want to help you maximize what you get out of it.

Kia relies heavily on technology and so does our team of ASE Certified Technicians. We use computerized diagnostic equipment on cars of all makes and models, and we’ll be sure to use it on your Kia so we can get a complete picture of what it needs. Call us to make an appointment today so that your Kia lasts for year and years to come.
