Feell free to ask.

Tnx Victor for stopping by. My Kia Cerato key remote stopped working so I manually have to unlock the doors and open the trunk as well (quite difficult, I tell u). What would it cost me to get a functional replacement at a good price?

Then the audio control buttons on my steering wheel aren't working anymore. Without breaking the bank, what help can I get from u? I live in Aba, Abia State.

Your answer to the above will guide me in giving you a precise cost

Every Country or continent has specifications for cars to be produced. Not only KIA most car manufacturers have Country specific cars
Re: All You Need To Know About KIA by VictorAB: 1:24pm On Jul 10, 2015
The airbag indicator light will be fixed as it is covered under warranty.

For the Radio botton on the steering you will be charged a token depending on the issue.

Kindly Visit the nearest Autorized Kia Service center.

What is the price for Kia Sportage (manual transmission) and Kia Optima (manual transmission). I do not really like automatic transmission and i like to have control when iam driving. Do i have to go through a Bank if i want to do a Monthly payment option?.
Re: All You Need To Know About KIA by VictorAB: 6:24pm On Jul 10, 2015
So sorry Kia Sportage and Optima does not come in Manual Transmission.

Yes, you have to go through a Bank for the monthly payment Plan

Exactly. The truth is that nigeria has no stated specification (technical or safety) for automobiles. And if such exist, they only exist on papers, no nigerian agency monitors or enforce them on vehicle manufacturers or dealers or distributors.

Also, it is not only Kia nigeria that leverages on this our system lapse. Distributors of Toyota, honda, bmw, scoda, hyunda etc in nigeria are also culprits.

yes but this is a kia rep so let him give us answers as to why kia nigeria engage in such practices
Re: All You Need To Know About KIA by VictorAB: 8:50am On Jul 11, 2015
Safety Features in all cars in Nigeria are standard, irrespective of variance in Country specific feature, kia Nigeria will never endanger Nigerian life.

If you have an incident based on what you hve said, kindly let me know the model of the car and its location for verification. To ensure ful compliance.

All over the world Car manufacturers recall thier cars if there are complains on safety features. Kia will not be an exception. We can also recall and ensure the safety concerns are fix free of charge.

Thanks

Re: All You Need To Know About KIA by VictorAB: 8:58am On Jul 11, 2015
You are very correct, agencies in Nigeria do not enforce such regulations.

The customer should always ensure he reads his Warranty and Car Manual to ensure every feature works as its meant to be.

But unfortunatly most Nigerians dont read those documents, and by the time they notice this defects,they do not return to the company or its autorised dealers, they prefer to go to a road side mechanics that will make things worse.

i am not talking about recalls but about reduced specification off the top of my head i know the picanto's in the north american market come standard with parking assist our's don't
Re: All You Need To Know About KIA by VictorAB: 9:15am On Jul 11, 2015
Parking Assist is not a Safety feature.

We have a Kia Assembly plant in Nigeria -Apapa
A showroom Kia picanto does not come with parking assist. If a Nigerian wants a Kia Picanto with Parking Assist , LCD touch screen, sun roof, etc all that can be done at a premium.
