The Kia Soul has carved out a reputation for being more than just another boxy hatchback. With its fun styling, surprisingly roomy interior, and dependable day-to-day performance, it has earned a loyal following especially among Raleigh drivers. But just like any car, the Soul has its own set of mechanical quirks that show up over time.
At Creech Import Repair, we know what makes the Soul tick. Whether you're dealing with a warning light, a mysterious engine noise, or just due for a routine checkup, our team is ready to help. We’ve seen the full range of problems across every generation of this model, so we know where to look and how to fix it right.
If you're a Kia Soul owner, you probably value practicality and reliability. And if you're in Raleigh, you want a shop that shares those values. Creech Import Repair is an independent, locally owned shop that’s been working exclusively with imports for years. We’re not a dealership, and that’s a good thing our approach is more personal, our advice more honest, and our work just as thorough.
We’ve built long standing relationships with drivers all over the Triangle by offering fair service, clear communication, and consistent results. When you bring us your Soul, here’s what you can expect:
Even reliable vehicles have their trouble spots, and the Kia Soul is no exception. Some model years have been known for certain recurring issues. If you’re shopping for a used one or already own one it helps to know what you might be dealing with. Here’s a breakdown of the more frequent complaints by generation.
This early batch gave the Soul its unique identity, but also came with a few growing pains.
With a more refined look and updated tech, this generation fixed a few things but brought new issues too.
The facelifted version added turbo options, but with those came a new set of challenges.
Modern Souls are more refined, but they’re not flawless.
Not every problem comes with a dashboard light. Some of the most serious issues sneak up slowly. If you notice any of the following, don’t put it off:
Any one of these can be a sign of a deeper issue. At Creech Import Repair, we don’t guess we test.
We’re not just a general repair shop. We focus on imports and tailor our services to models like the Kia Soul. Here’s a look at the kinds of work we regularly perform for Soul owners.

They were the only shop that actually took the time to test my car properly. Turned out to be a bad ignition coil fixed the rough idle instantly.
I drive a 2016 Soul and had no idea about the engine recall. Creech helped me get documentation for Kia and took care of the rest. Really grateful.
Their diagnostics are spot on. Didn’t try to push anything I didn’t need. That’s hard to find these days.
When something doesn’t feel right with your Soul, don’t wait for it to get worse. Let our experienced import technicians take a look. We’ll figure out the issue, give you honest advice, and get you back on the road with confidence.
