Kia Optima: Emergency Roadside AssistanceKia has set up a network of over 17,000 roadside assistance providers. Should you accidentally run out of fuel, require a battery jump, or need help changing a tire, a Kia Consumer Assistance Representative will dispatch (at no charge to you) someone to deliver a small quantity of gas, change a flat tire with your inflated spare, or arrange a battery jump to allow you to proceed to your destination. Kia also has a network of over 10,000 locksmiths to help you when you’re locked out of your Kia, also at no charge.
In the event that mechanical difficulty renders your vehicle undriveable, Kia’s Consumer Assistance Representative will arrange to transport your vehicle to the nearest Kia dealer or to an alternative service location.
Your vehicle must be accessible to our dispatch transport vehicle, as determined by our driver, to receive this service. In the event that Kia does not have a dealer or an alternative service location available in a particular location, Kia will work with a reputable local service facility to ensure that you receive prompt service.
