Broken door latch for rear passenger side door. Could not open from outside with handle, could open from inside but I engaged child door lock. Shouldn’t have done that as it ended up making repair and cost higher - Kia had to remove rear seats to open the door and remove door panel. Charles said they reduced the labor time and rate due to being a loyal Kia customer otherwise labor would have been $1000.

- 4 new tires purchased online from Quattro Tires. 4x Kumho Solus HA31 SUV (235/60/R18 - 107V) for $636.72, plus $33.45 tax 5%, plus $32.34 shipping = 703.19 final total. Bought June 14, delivered to Texcan Surrey on June 25, 2018. - Kia Vancouver mount and balance 4 tires $110.50 plus $13.27 tax = $123.77. - Kia Vancouver paid for a wheel alignment at no charge. Took responsibility for no suggestion of a wheel alignment during any of my previous service appointments leading to uneven wear of Pirelli tires which were bought from Costco. Likely lost 1 year of tire use off of the Pirelli set.

Check engine light on. Diagnosed as faulty O2 sensor. Retrieve fault code P0430 Catalyst below threshold (bank #2). Corey suggested to leave as it doesn’t affect mechanically but may lose 2-5% fuel economy. Cost to fix would be $604 parts plus 1.5 hrs labour. May need to replace in the future.
