I need a repair manual for a 2003 Optima. When I went in for my
30,000 mile oil change I discovered what I had to do to keep up the
warranty. The prices were outrageous and according to the service
manager I had to let Kia do them or do them myself. Also, I could not
buy after market parts. They want $18.00 for one spark plug and I have
to pay it or else. I could not let another repair shop do them
without voiding my warranty. If I had known this I would have never
bought the car. I want from a very pleased Kia owner to feeling like
a sucker in 30 seconds. But that is another issue.
Is there an aftermarket service manual for this car?? |

I'm brand-new to this board, but ... if you are in the US, look up the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. IIRC, it specifically prohibits this kind of
behavior. |

You're absolutely correct. In the US, such restrictions are
prohibited. As I recall, the same is true in some other countries as
well.
