You might have found yourself staring at the clock a lot more recently and if you’re anything like me, that can get a bit boring. So this week, we have put together a list of tasks to keep you busy! Whether these are something you’ve already thought about or they’re new to you, we encourage you to add them to the list, purchase the items online, and find a new hobby! 

And if you’re in need of upgrading your vehicle, our virtual sales department is open and ready to assist you!

Or if your vehicle needs to be serviced, schedule a service appointment online today and be sure to check out our service specials online today! 

Spring Clean – this works for multiple reasons, spring clean your home, your Kia and your closet! Be sure to get rid of any belongings that are no longer serving a purpose! 

Exercise – just because you’re at home doesn’t mean you can’t get a good workout in. There are plenty of online workouts to follow or even taking a brisk walk is a great idea! 

Watch a New Show/ Movie – there are plenty of options out there for you to check out. Whether you are a Netflix lover or Hulu, there are more than enough choices for you to choose from! 

Chat with Family – whether it is FaceTime, Zoom or Skype, give your friends a call to check in with them and catch up. You can even play a game! 

Puzzles, Coloring Books & Word Searches – these aren’t just for kids! Order a few online and get everyone involved to help pass the time. These can also help kids learn new words. 

To our valued customers, 

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support during this difficult time. Like many of you, our family here at King Kia feels the weight of the current situation and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that we are here for our customers. In compliance with state and federal directive to pause all new and used car sales, we are still going above and beyond to assist our customers. 

With that being said, service and parts departments have been deemed essential services and our departments will and have remained open to assist you with any needs your vehicle may need in the weeks to come. 

We understand that this is a very trying time but keeping your vehicle healthy is crucial. We encourage you to schedule a service appointment with our team online today or you can give us a call to choose a convenient time that best fits your schedule. You can schedule below. 

In addition, while our new and used sales department is closed, we can still assist you in helping you find a vehicle that fits your needs. Whether you are looking for a little more information regarding a vehicle or simply have questions, we encourage you to reach out to our team at your convenience. You can fill out our online contact form or message us on our Facebook page. 

We look forward to serving you.

It’s been a long winter here in Gaithersburg, and we’re happy that the temperatures are looking up! But with warm temperatures come spring driving tips that you need to refresh up on. Take a look at those below and if you’re in need of vehicle maintenance, stop in to see our team or schedule your service appointment online today! 

Be on the lookout for potholes 

• We all know what a pothole is, at least I hope we do. Extreme weather takes a toll on our roadways and eventually leads to massive potholes on the road. Hitting one can lead to punctured tires, bent wheels, suspension damage, poor alignment, and exhaust damage. So steer clear from these devils to avoid expensive auto repair. 

Watch for animals and people on the move 

• Spring is known for warmer weather which means animal activity and people start to emerge to enjoy the warmer temperatures. It’s important to take things slow, be aware, and mindful that you’re now sharing the road again with others. 

Pay attention in construction zones 

• Spring is the busiest time when it comes to construction. We encourage you to be attentive, understand and follow signs, make safe lane changes, and of course, slow down when you’re passing through or approaching the zones. 

Spring road trips are just around the corner and there’s nothing worse than being afraid that your vehicle might break down along the way. So, what does that mean for you? It means that you need to upgrade your ride but should you buy or lease your next vehicle? If you are unsure, this week’s blog is for you! We have some guidance on whether you should lease or buy below. And if you need further help, we encourage you to stop in and ask about all of our available lease and finance options! 

Is it better to buy or lease a vehicle? 

• While there is no easy answer to this question, we can help point you in the right direction with a few pros to each option! We understand that getting behind the wheel of a new vehicle can be rather expensive, we want to help you drive home a new vehicle at the right price! 

Lease if you like…. 

• Lower monthly payments 
• A new vehicle every few years with the latest technology 
• Warranty coverage for the duration of the lease 
• Upgrading your vehicle with ease 
• Lower down payments when it’s time to upgrade 
• Potential money-saving options on sales tax

Buy if you like….

• Owning the vehicle when the payments are done
• No mileage restrictions 
• When the loan is paid off there are no more payments 
• You can sell and upgrade when you choose 
• Financing is typically easier 
• You can completely customize the vehicle

Treat your Kia as your valentine this February! This week we are bringing you a few ways to treat your vehicle right because we know you may not have been the best car owner and that’s ok. But this month, the month of love, we want you to show your Kia some love! So check out this list of sweet ways to treat your valentine (your Kia) and schedule your service appointment online today! 

A car wash 

• Your vehicle might be looking a little dirty these days and it’s time to treat it to a car wash. Top to bottom, go all-in and don’t skip out on treating your ride to a bath this month! 

An oil change 

• If it’s been a while, it might be time to treat your ride to some new oil and perhaps a new oil filter, too. We encourage you to stop in or schedule your service appointment online today! And don’t forget to check out our service specials to save when you stop in! 

Top off fluids 

• As we get closer to spring break, you might be thinking about taking a trip somewhere and that means your ride needs all the proper fluids in order to perform properly. So ask our technicians to take a look at all of your vehicle’s fluids and top them off! 

New wiper blades 

• We’re headed straight for a rainy season and if your wiper blades are beaten up, old or broken, they’re not offering their full potential to you. And it’s important to see clearly on the road when the rain starts to come down. Take a look at them and stop in for replacements! 

New Battery 

• While we’re just coming out of January, and we think the cold temperatures might be behind us, that doesn’t mean the harm has already been done to our vehicle’s battery! And it’s important for you to stop in to have it checked and replaced so you’re not stranded with a dead battery!
