Hey there Kia lovers! We’re back with another week of helpful car-owning information and this week, we hope you’ll put this information to good use before winter creeps upon us! When to know whether your tire's tread is in need of replacing - this can sometimes be a difficult thing to understand. There are measurements to pay close, close attention to and if you don’t, you might put yourself at risk. So how can we keep you and your passengers out of harm’s way? Well, just check out how to check your tire tread below and be sure to schedule a service appointment at your earliest convenience to have your tires serviced before winter hits! Your tire tread is still in good shape when the tread is at least 4/32 inches deep or deeper. This is your best case scenario but not always what we find when checking our tread. It’s time to replace those tires soon when they reach 3/32”, so if your tires fall here, be sure to keep a close eye on them and perhaps make a service appointment for somewhere down the line. And it’s critical to replace your tires as soon as possible when they hit 2/32” or below. If you’re at this point, hurry on in today and have your tires replaced because keeping you safe is a #1 priority! Now, how are you supposed to check that tread? We got you covered there! Below you will find a few ways to check your tread and for most of them, you’ll only need a few coins to get the job done! Take a look and let us know if you are in need of help! The penny test Insert a penny into your tire’s tread groove with Lincoln’s head upside down into the tread facing toward you. If you can see all of the head, your tread depth is less than 2/32” and it is time to replace your tires. The quarter test Do the same test with a quarter and if the tread reaches Washington’s head, you have at least 4/32” of tread remaining. Which means your tires are still happy and healthy - no need to worry about replacing, just yet! No change? No problem! Take a look at your tread wear indicator bar that is molded into the tread of your tires. Bars are located at the bottom of tread grooves in multiple locations; when these bars are visibly flush with the adjacent ribs, your tire has no more than 2/32” of tread left. This is a visible indication that you need to swap out these tires! Schedule An Appointment With Us Today!

Did you know topping off your gas tank can cause you to waste money and can even damage your vehicle? Wow! You didn’t know that? Well, lucky for you, this week we are dropping some knowledge to tell you about all the things wrong with topping off your gas tank and why that’s a habit you’ll want to put behind you going forward! Check out those reasons below and if you’re looking to upgrade your ride, come see our team today and let us help you get behind the wheel of a brand new Kia that best fits your budget, lifestyle, and wants! We look forward to seeing you soon! Gas topping hurts your wallet Often times, gas stations are equipped with a vapor recovery system that will feed vapors and gas from the pump back into the station’s tank once your tank is full. Why? This is to prevent vapors from escaping into the open air and environment, according to the EPA. That means an excess gas pumped into your tank that you’ve already paid for could end up back in the gas station’s storage tanks. Doing so can also cause damage to the station’s vapor recovery system which leads to the following…. Gas vapors are harmful to people & the environment Topping off your gas tank might be a good idea but if any gas spills out of your tank and onto the ground can cause harmful effects to both the environment and people. A damaged vapor recovery system will not be able to effectively protect people from harmful vapors which will lead to bad ozone days. So long story short, don’t overfill or top off your tank! Gas topping damages your vehicle Did you know that gas topping can damage your vehicle's vapor collection system? It’s true! And your vapor collection system is designed to reduce harmful emissions and manage fuel vapor making it a pretty important part of your vehicle. So, overfilling your tank sends excessive fuel into the charcoal canister or carbon filter which is strictly designed for vapor only. When fuel gets into this system, it will affect your vehicle’s performance and could damage the engine meaning hefty repair costs. Start Fresh With A New Kia!

The TSP+ requires vehicles to earn an advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention and a good rating for headlights. “We are extremely proud of this significant achievement,” said Orth Hedrick, Executive Director, Car Planning & Technology of Kia Motors America. “We constantly strive to build the best quality and safest vehicles possible and being the automaker with the most TSP and TSP+ ratings is ultimately gratifying.” Kia was awarded this honor from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety after the 2020 Kia Telluride was named at 2019 Top Safety Pick when equipped with specific headlights. The Telluride also received “good” ratings in each IIHS crashworthiness test.
