We know you’ve been eyeing your dream Kia for a while now and we are excited to tell you right now is the perfect time to slip behind the wheel of your Kia! I know what you’re thinking, with the holidays right around the corner right now is not a good time to make an investment like that. But, we’re here to prove that theory wrong, and we have 5 impressive facts that will have you changing your stance! Plus, when you shop huge Kia savings here at Northeast Kia, you can drive off in your dream Kia for less! So what do you have to lose? Check out the 5 reasons it is best to shop NOW for a new Kia. Then stop into King Kia and save today!
New models: We have new models coming in every week and limited space which means we need to sell 2021 models for the new year models coming in. September, October, November, and December are the months that manufacturers are typically trying to make room for new models on dealer lots. Come December, prices will hit a low for the year. For a buyer, these factors work in your favor to save money.
Holiday Shopping: Yeah we know, thinking of buying a car during the most expensive holiday season might sound crazy, but during the holiday season cars are continuously lower in price. This is where Black Friday sales have kicked in, as well as low prices in December.
Holiday Bonuses: More than half of Americans will receive a monetary end-of-year bonus. With a little extra cash coming in, it might be time to say goodbye to your old ride and hello to a new reliable one.
Smooth Commuting: There might be a sense of worry about whether your older vehicle can make it through another tough winter. If you worry about commuting in the winter weather, year after year, it might be time to stop in and get yourself a reliable vehicle that can get you through the weather.
Having the upper hand: When traffic is down at a dealership, salespeople can usually take more time to explain in-depth about a car you are interested in, show you similar models, review features, safety concerns, and more. You might also have the upper hand due to a lack of customers and win an unbeatable deal!

December is in full swing, and the official start of winter is just days away. What does this mean for you as a Kia driver? Well, if you want your Kia to continue to perform racetrack-ready, then you need to make sure you’ve completed your winter service. We know as a vehicle owner service is your least favorite part. However, like a sports car driver, it’s the root of your success on the road. But don’t worry about breaking the bank to service your Kia this December!

How To: Check Your VW Oil | Gaithersburg, PA
We’ve all heard it before, it’s time for an oil change every 5,000-miles. However, not all of us stop in to get our engine oil topped off or changed. Whether the reasoning is time, money, or whatever else is going on, giving your Kia the TLC it deserves is important, especially during the winter months. It’s no secret the cold weather can be harsh on your vehicle, which is why keeping an eye on what’s going on under the hood is important. We all know that the engine is the heart of your vehicle and making sure that it runs smoothly is the best way to minimize issues. One of the easiest ways to keep your engine running smoothly is to make sure that your engine’s oil is clean. Below you will find step-by-step instructions and we recommend you check once a month. If you find yourself needing an oil change, give us a call or schedule an appointment online, and leave it to the skilled professionals here at King Kia!
Checking Oil: How To
- Open the hood. Prop it so it stays open.
- Locate the oil dipstick next to the engine. It should have a yellow handle and/or be labeled.
- Pull out the dipstick and wipe it on a clean cloth or paper towel.
- Dip the stick all the way back in.
- Pull it out again and look at the oil level. If it’s in the middle of the hatched/indicated area, you’re good. More is better, less is okay, but if you’re lower than the recommended amount you’ll need to get your oil topped up and have your system checked for leaks.
- Look at the oil quality and color. If there are a lot of particles or if the oil looks sludgy, you need to get it changed as soon as possible.
- Put the dipstick back in.
- Close your hood.

Are you hitting the road for the holidays? It might be a good idea to brush up on your winter driving tips so you and your family can get to your destination stress-free! As a Kia driver, you have a love for speed, but it’s important to remember to slow down when you hit the road this holiday season! For information about driving tips, long-distance travel, and important maintenance tips, check out all the info below!
Driving Tips:
- Avoid driving while you’re fatigued.
- Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage.
- Make certain your tires are properly inflated.
- Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid gas line freeze-up.
- If possible, avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy, and snowy weather.
- Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface (wet, ice, sand).
- Always look and steer where you want to go.
- Use your seat belt every time you get into your vehicle.
Long-Distance Driving Tips:
- Watch Weather Reports
- Service your vehicle before hitting the road
- Keep at least half a tank at all times
- If you become snow-bound, stay with your vehicle. It provides temporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you.
- Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna or place a cloth at the top of a rolled-up window to signal distress, if needed.
- Make sure the exhaust pipe isn’t clogged with snow, ice, or mud if you slide off the road
Tips For Driving In The Snow:
- Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is the best method for gaining traction and avoiding skids.
- Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snow-covered roads. Accelerating, stopping, turning – nothing happens as quickly as on dry pavement. Give yourself time to maneuver by driving slowly.
- The normal dry pavement following distance of three to four seconds should be increased to eight to ten seconds
- Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop is threshold braking.
- Don’t stop if you can avoid it.
- Don’t stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road.
- Make it known what kind of driving assistance you have (AAA, Roadside Assistance, etc.)
Now that you have the right tools to get you from point A to point B safely, be sure to request a service appointment so your Kia is in tip-top shape for all of your holiday travel!

So, you want to stay warm in your vehicle this holiday season but what do you know about keeping your ride warm? If the answer is not much, we have you covered! Check out our tips on this week’s blog and be sure to upgrade your ride or service it to ensure no issues going into the holiday season! We hope to see you and your ride soon!
Got a garage? Park in there!
- If you are lucky enough to have a garage, put it to good use. Parking your vehicle inside your garage will give you a jump start on warming up your vehicle. And if you have leather seats, you won’t have to think about how cold your bottom is when you’re driving down the road. Another added bonus, you won’t have to clean off your vehicle from snow or ice!
Block heaters, not remote starters.
- Remote starters are very convenient additions to your vehicle, but did you know that block heaters can do the same job without burning as much fuel? Engine block heaters can cost as low as $30 and can even be set on a timer to warm up your ride while you’re getting ready for the day!
Drive it, don’t idle it.
- Many drivers don’t know that driving their vehicle will actually warm it up faster than letting it idle for a long period of time in your driveway. When you push start and hit the road, your engine is working hard which then turns that energy into heat which will warm up your cabin making you toasty warm faster!
Wait 10 seconds and go.
- Most newer vehicles these days are equipped with stop-start technology which means your vehicle will turn off when it comes to a full and complete stop. Why is this so important? Well, not only does this feature save you fuel, in the long run, it’s better for the environment. And don’t worry – those 10 seconds are not enough time for your engine to cool down. So, you’ll leave toasty warm!
Can you guys and girls believe that it is already November? Before we know it, winter will be in full swing, which means the snow will be falling sooner than later. Even though we have been pretty lucky with the weather so far, we have a feeling that will change within the next couple of weeks. So, right now is the perfect time to make sure your Kia is in tip-top shape for the months ahead. What does that mean for you? This means it’s time to check your fluid levels, tire pressure, battery, air filters, and the list goes on and on. It might seem like a lot, but with the help from our team of professionals, we are confident we can handle any services you need, big or small! However, we know service can become costly, which is why we have brand new service specials just for you! Take a peek below and be sure to head over to our site to print your special! While you’re there, be sure to schedule an appointment and leave the rest with us!

Winter is right around the corner, and in order to ensure you and Kia don’t run into issues down the road, your friends at King Kia want to remind you that right now is the time to get your Kia into tip-top shape for the months ahead! As always, our team of certified professionals is ready to assist you with any size service or repair. Simply schedule your service appointment online today or give us a call! But while you’re here, we invite you to take advantage of this week’s blog! This week we are sharing some helpful tips on how to keep your Kia battery healthy for when the temperatures drop low. And if you find your ride needs a new battery, simply check out our service incentives for battery offers and schedule your appointment with the pros at King Kia!
Get Your Battery Tested:
- Is your car battery approaching 3 years old? Then it might be time to get it to check!
- We suggest stopping into our service department and having one of our mechanics test your battery for you.
- The cold temperatures tend to drain your car battery, so now is the time to ensure your battery is in shape for the winter months ahead!
Examine & Clean Your Battery
- Corrosion and build-up on battery terminals materialize over time. This build-up can keep your car from starting and is a poor conductor of electricity.
- Clean off any corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Make sure the battery connections are clean and tight.
- A dirty battery connection will weaken the charge. You should also look to see that the fasteners and cables are in good shape.
Don’t Leave Your Car Sitting
- With some of us still working from home, you might not be driving your vehicle around much these days. However, driving your car keeps a charge in your battery.
- So if you haven’t driven your car in a few days, turn on your vehicle and take it for a spin around the neighborhood!
Replace Your Battery
- At the end of the day, sometimes we just have to replace the batteries. If the battery in your car is 3-5 years old, it might be time for a new one.
- If your car shows any signs of a struggle when starting the engine, get your battery replaced.
- Be sure to take a peek at our service incentives to see if we are currently offering any incentives for battery maintenance/repairs/ or replacements
