The snow has fallen here in Albany, and that means your car has been working overtime to keep up with the conditions and the chilly temperatures. This week, we want to tell you about a few car fluids that you should be checking up on every now and again. If it’s been a while, stop in to see our team and let us take care of them for you! Engine Oil In order to keep the moving parts in your engine lubricated, your vehicle needs oil. Without that oil, you will do some damage to your engine and could be looking at a hefty repair bill or having to replace your engine. You can choose to check the oil yourself or leave it to a professional which we recommend if you’re new under the hood. Radiator Fluid We hope you know that radiator fluid goes in your radiator…. It also keeps your engine from overheating (which is VERY important). If you run low or out, you run the chance of overheating your engine, again leaving you with a hefty bill. We recommend leaving this to the professionals but if you choose to do it yourself, DO NOT open the tank while the engine is running or hot! Power Steering Fluid Much like your vehicle’s engine, your power steering system has to be lubricated at all times and if it doesn’t both your steering and wheel control will be lost. Which is not good. This is one of the easier fluids to fill, so if you’re low, take out your owner’s manual and do it yourself! Brake Fluid Everything is go, go, go… and eventually, we want to stop. And that’s where your brake fluid comes in to play - this fluid is designed to assist with braking, so we’re sure you know why this one is important. Check out your vehicle’s owner manual for directions on adding brake fluid to your vehicle. And make sure you’re taking a look at the color too. If it’s dark - have a mechanic replace ASAP.

If you’re ready to get behind the wheel of a new vehicle this January, we’re ready to help! This week we are breaking it down for you and helping you with the things you will need when you stop in to pick up/ purchase your new ride. Check those out below and hurry in to see our team for a test drive in what could be your new Kia! Your form of payment: Your form of payment can either be a check from a bank or credit union for a preapproved loan. When it comes to handling financing or your down payment, it can be in the form of a cashier's check, personal check or a credit card payment. The title for your trade-in vehicle: If you are trading in a vehicle, you will need proof that you own it. Bring in the title, sometimes known as the pink slip, that shows you are the owner of the vehicle. If there is a co-signer or a lien against the title or vehicle, be sure to get the required signature ahead of time to save you some time at the dealership. Current vehicle registration for trade-in: If you are trading in a vehicle, bring in a copy of your current registration. Be sure to verify that the registration is current and that the sticker is on the license plate. Proof of car insurance: In order to let you drive your new ride home, you need car insurance on your new vehicle. Call ahead and set up the new insurance policy if you know which car you are buying before stopping in will help the process move faster. If you choose to call at the dealership, give your insurance company the new car's vehicle identification number (VIN) and ask your insurer to fax or email an insurance card to us! The account number for your loan: If you are trading in the vehicle you previously owned which still has an unpaid loan, you will need to bring the loan's account number. Rebate eligibility documents: We offer a lot of great deals and incentives here at Destination Kia and if you want to take advantage of specific deals, such as a military or recent college graduate rebate, be sure to bring along supporting documents. You will need these documents in order to get the savings! Choose Your Perfect Kia Here!
