Hello you all. This will be my first thread on the main KIA Forums. I have gotten a lot of heated discussions on my old thread under ForteForums thread called Discussion on Oil Changes. There are a lot of DIY out there that get upset with people like me that needs to go to the dealer to get things done and other reasons.
This thread is open for everyone. Here is where I will explain why some of us need to go to the dealership. Going to the dealership has many advantages. One of the main advantage is they have a complete record of your service on your car. So if something does happen, it would be very difficult for them to deny warranty work. I know you heard this in other threads before but I don't think people get it until something major happens. I know DIY people has a point they feel better knowing what has been done to their car because they have done it themselves. I get that. I used to do it myself. BUT these new cars are much much more complex and complicated than the cars in the past. That could be a whole subject in itself.
I am getting off the subject a little bit here. This thread is about people with disabilities. Now I should explain why I have a thread like this. I am disabled and my wife and dad are disabled also. We all live together and help each other. We are down to one car so we can afford a really reliable car. About 2 months ago we bought a 2015 KIA Forte EX. We had to trade our 2013 KIA Soul Plus for the Forte because the Soul did not have for my dad's walker and eventually somedays I may need a walker too. There are other issues too.
A little about me. My wife types these messages out for me because I can not spell from brain damage from birth. I can read about 9th grade level if I keep reading. My physical problems are more complex. The doctors thinks I have celebrel palsy. That is their best guess and they will never know for sure.
I am not writing to so people will feel sorry for us. I am writing this so people realize it is not just DIY read and write on these threads but there is people go to the dealership and getting work done for a very good reason. By the way if anybody has doubt about our disabilities dad and me have handicap license plates plus we have tags to put up on the rear view mirror. They don't hand out handicap plates very easy. They are very difficult to get. At least here in Minnesota.
I think my wife is getting tired of typing right now but this thread like I said before is open to everyone and free to discuss about different subjects. I will try to put a view through to someone that is disabled.
I hope that I hear from everyone. I hope this subject doesn't scare anyone away. God bless you and be careful driving out there.
