Kia Philippines Prepares Drivers for Holiday Travel with Competitive PMS Program

Manila, Philippines, October 9, 2025 - With long weekends and holiday road trips on the horizon, Kia Philippines, through ACMobility, offers drivers peace of mind with lower service costs, longer service intervals, and nationwide accessibility. These advantages come through Kia’s competitive Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) program, designed to keep vehicles travel-ready while keeping ownership practical and affordable.

“Our PMS program is structured to deliver lower maintenance costs while ensuring the highest standards of performance and safety,” said Jay Lopez, Managing Director of Kia Philippines. “Through advanced diagnostics, we save customers time, reduce costs, and provide lasting peace of mind.”

Prepare with Confidence and Savings

Kia’s PMS program helps drivers avoid unexpected breakdowns or accidents, offering confidence in their vehicles’ safety and reliability. With extended service intervals of every 10,000 kilometers or six months (whichever comes first), drivers can conveniently align maintenance with their travel plans and holiday schedules, minimizing operational downtime.

Kia technicians thoroughly inspect each vehicle during every service visit, using only genuine Kia parts and updating the vehicle’s software when necessary. With Kia’s maintenance program, owners can enjoy competitive pricing across five years or 100,000 kilometers. The average total maintenance cost over a five-year period is:

• ₱85,076 for the Kia Sonet

• ₱107,186 for the Kia Sorento Turbo Hybrid

• ₱109,175 for the Carnival Diesel

• ₱117,211 for the Kia Carnival Hybrid 

With these compelling maintenance costs, Kia owners can save up to ₱76,000 over time. These savings are made possible by Kia’s efficient service schedule as well as affordable parts and labor costs, which make Kia ownership a smart and practical choice.

Nationwide Support for Holiday Travel

Drivers are supported by a network of 35 service centers nationwide, each staffed with highly-trained technicians who undergo continuous development through the Kia Technician’s Boot Camp (KTBC), a program designed to equip Filipino technicians with world-class skills. These centers maintain a full inventory of genuine Kia parts, while logistics partners ensure prompt delivery of internationally sourced components.

Together, this network and expertise allow drivers to confidently plan long trips, knowing their vehicle is in capable hands no matter where they travel.

Plan Ahead, Travel Confidently

As families prepare for holiday road trips, Kia encourages early PMS scheduling. This ensures vehicles are ready for long drives. With competitive costs, nationwide access, and advanced service support, Kia makes holiday travel both practical and worry-free.

“With Kia’s PMS program, Filipino drivers can save more, spend less time in service centers, and enjoy safer journeys,” Lopez concluded. “This means more quality time for the moments that truly matter.”
