Asked by Dennis Wilson
What is the story with spare parts for the Kia Sportage? I had a 2010 model from new and just recently had a problem with the radio and was quoted over $2000 with a wait for the part to be sent from Korea. I got it fixed at a car radio store for $500. I have since bought a new Sportage, only to find the parking sensors aren't working and again the part has to come from Korea. So far I have been waiting a month and still don't know the arrival time of the part. Is this always the same or just the service centre?

22 Aug 2016It's not just the dealer and it's not just Kia. Most companies keep only fast-moving parts in stock and have to order anything else, which means sea freight delays.
