Collision Information Website Access: Kia

Why do I need a subscription to an OEM website if I have full subscription access to the I-CAR Repairability Technical Support (RTS) portal? This is a question received on a regular basis through Ask I-CAR. Let’s take a look at why and how to purchase an OEM subscription.

With your RTS subscription, you gain access to a research department in your company for the hard to find information and on the information that needs clarification. While we can't send out vehicle maker repair procedures, (due to copyright laws) we can let you know if the information exists before you spend hours and money only to find out that the information does not exist.

Kia has several subscription options available. To purchase a subscription:

  1. Go to www.kiatechinfo.com
  2. A message will popup regarding purchasing a subscription, click Close
  3. You will need to register for an account, if you do not already have one
