Service requires meter reset

Hi, my car went in for a service a few months ago and there's nothing wrong with it. The only thing is the Kia dealer forgot to reset the service required clock. Is this a huge problem or can they just reset it?

This is not a big deal but since it has been a few months you either want to calculate how many miles away you actually are and go in for service at that point or just leave the reminder how it is and go when you are ready.

If you don't want to look at it the whole time then I would call the dealer and ask them to service the vehicle again (for free since they caused this issue) and reset it this time so that you are not going over your next service waiting for the light to come back on, and that you don't have to calculate the difference.
