We’re taking care of business this month at King Kia and by that we mean we’re making your car buying experience easier that ever before when you choose to shop with us! Below, we have five tips to help you be prepared for your visit and make things easy. We know spending excess amounts of time at the dealership is something everyone tries to avoid and with these tips, your wait time could be cut in half. Check out these details below and when you’re ready to talk further details and upgrade, hurry on by to see our team at King Kia!
Get Pre-Approved: getting a pre-approved auto loan before stopping in to see our team will speed up the buying process and keep you from waiting long periods of time while we’re dealing with the bank. Also, we recommend getting pre-approved before even starting your vehicle search, so you will have a better idea of your budget and what types of models you can afford.
Know The Value of Your Trade: planning to trade in your old vehicle? Do a little research before stopping in. Not only is this beneficial for you, knowing your vehicle’s trade value can help you negotiate the deal and in some situations, can get you a lower payment. There are many tools available to you to use for research and find your vehicle’s trade value. A trade appraisal will also work as a starting point when it comes time to discuss your trade.
Personal Identification: the paperwork process can be a pain in the butt and we recommend bringing in the right items on the first purchase visit in order to ensure a quick, pain-free process. Be sure to bring in your driver’s license, proof of insurance, current registration and the title to your trade (if you are trading in a vehicle.) These are all necessary in order to get you out the door with your new car and if you end up forgetting any, the process can be held up.
Review Your Deal: before you sign on the dotted line, you need to know what you are paying for, how much, and for how long. If you are going to be shelling out cash, you should know exactly what you are paying for. Don’t be afraid to ask questions before signing on the line and if you don’t understand something – it is your salesman’s job to explain all of those nitty-gritty details. Don’t be afraid to ask!
Take a Test Drive: we sure hope no one would ever purchase a vehicle without taking a test drive but if that’s the case, let us recommend to take one! A test drive is the most important thing to do before buying. This is a big investment and if you are not 100 percent happy, it’ll be a waste of time and money on your end! Even if you have to test drive the vehicle a few times and ask a million questions, it is better that you get everything you want than just agreeing to something you think you will like.
There’s still a few more weeks left of winter and while it can be bad for some, if you’re looking to upgrade your vehicle this winter, it’s a good thing!

Happy February! Can you believe that we already had a big snowstorm this month?! And while we are digging out here at the dealership, we put together a few winter driving tricks to help you conquer the winter snow here in Gaithersburg! Check out that guide below and we hope you take advantage of these tips this winter. And when you’re ready to service your vehicle, schedule your appointment with our team online today. We look forward to getting your vehicle in proper condition this season!
Deal With Skids
- When skids happen, it’s important not to panic, stay calm, and don’t stab on the brakes. For a front-wheel skid, ease off the gas, in a moment or two, the wheels should regain traction. Then aim where you want to go as your traction returns. For rear skids, quickly turn the steering wheel in the same direction the rear is sliding. Ease off the gas and brakes. Steer back in the original direction when you regain traction.
Constantly Assess Traction
- During a snowy/ icy drive, it’s important to continuously assess your traction situation. If your vehicle is equipped with ABS systems, traction-control systems, or stability-control systems, your vehicle is more likely to have a successful trip. But don’t rely strictly on these systems. It’s important to stay vigilant and cautious when on the road.
Drive Smooth
- Be deliberate, gentle, and gradual. It’s important to drive smoothly and make no jerky movements that can cause an accident slip on the road. A good life hack is to pretend you’re driving with a hot cup of coffee in your lap and you don’t want to spill it.
Look Ahead & Look Here
- When roads get more slippery, you should be looking farther down the road and anticipate what to do next. If there are turns, slow way down. When roads are wet, allow double the stopping distance and triple with snow, and even more with ice. Use extra caution and concentration. If you feel your vehicle beginning to slide, always look where you want your vehicle to go, not where it’s heading at the current moment.
Happy January! Can you believe that we’re almost already done with the first month of 2021? We hardly can but there is still some time left in the winter season and we want to help have a successful and safe winter season. Below, you’ll find a few seasonal life hacks that will help you out this season whether you’re staying in the area or you’re planning on traveling. We hope you’ll put them to good use and hurry in to see our team if you\’re ready to upgrade into a brand new Kia!
Pack an emergency kit
- Being prepared for a variety of situations is important. And it’s a great idea to always be prepared for whatever whenever that’s why we encourage you to pack an emergency kit. This kit should include an extra coat, warm hat, gloves, and extra socks in your vehicle. It’s a good idea to keep a blanket, phone charger, flashlight, bottle of water, and a small non perishable snack on board as well.
Foggy windows are a thing of the past
- When temperatures start to drop, foggy windows are no stranger to your vehicle. Foggy windows can lead to potentially dangerous situations and it’s important to defog your windows before heading out for the day. An easy way to defog your windows is to roll down your windows before leaving or keep a clean chalkboard eraser in your vehicle to wipe away the fog.
Keep your vehicle clean
- During winter months, salt, dirt, and grime tend to accumulate underneath your vehicle. This grime buildup can lead to erosion on your vehicle and it’s important to clean that off as soon as possible. We encourage you to stay up to date on car washes on warmer days and park your vehicle in the garage.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year to service your vehicle! Temperatures are dropping and that means things can easily go wrong with your vehicle. That means it’s crucial to stop in to see your favorite service team right here at King Kia to ensure that your vehicle is in proper working condition!

-
Use single-use options, like salad dressing and condiment packets, and disposable items like food containers, plates, and utensils.
-
Use a touchless garbage can, if available.
Consider Other Winter Holiday Activities

Host a virtual celebration with friends and family
-
Gather virtually for a gift exchange or activity
-
Throw a virtual dance party
