Any recommendations for a good (preferably honest also!) mechanic in the Boston area who works on KIAs? Thank you!

I would ask friends, family, coworkers etc. You likely won’t find a specialist for Kia like other Japanese and European makes.

It’s a Kia. Not a Lamborghini. It doesn’t need a Kia specialist - cars that do not have exotic components are pretty similar as far as understanding how to repair them goes - just take it to a mechanic that has good reviews and works on imports.
