Let us help break some of those misconceptions when it comes to car buying, especially during the holiday season! Check out all of our details below and when you’re ready to upgrade into a brand-new vehicle, we encourage you to hurry on in or schedule your test drive with our team online today! We look forward to helping you get behind the wheel! Destination Kia's Five Misconceptions About Car Buying: The internet is the best place for a great deal Buying a new vehicle online isn’t always your best option. The lease or finance rate, trade-in price, and other factors play into getting the best deal on a new vehicle. We encourage you to stop in and visit with our finance team for the best possible deal on a brand-new vehicle! Paying with cash will get you the best price Paying for a new vehicle in cash isn’t always the best option. Choosing the right finance option for you is important and something our finance team can assist you with. Your own financing is better Most customers think that bringing their own financing is best but when you choose to finance through the dealership, you’ll have access to various discounts whether it’s on the vehicle of your choosing or your interest rates. Waiting until the end of the month will get you a better deal When you shop at our dealership, you’ll have access to great offers and incentives all month long. And on a variety of models, too. So there’s no reason to wait until the very end of the month to grab a great deal. Shop all month long and get a great price no matter what! Wait to mention your trade-in Absolutely not! We recommend bringing up your trade up front and be honest about what you’re looking to achieve when you trade in your vehicle with us. Being upfront with our team can save you time and money. So mention it upfront and let’s get you behind the wheel sooner rather than later!

Have you ever been stranded because your vehicle won’t start? Well, if you haven’t you are one of the lucky ones. But eventually, it might happen to you! And there are some things that you might want to know what caused this, how to avoid it, and what to do in the event that you do find yourself in this situation. Luckily for you, that’s exactly what we are going to discuss. So, grab a seat, buckle up, and let us take you on a ride! Put these helpful tips to good use this upcoming season and come see our team for some service for your vehicle! What Caused My Dead Battery: Leaving headlights, interior lights, flashers or the radio on when your vehicle isn’t running Using the air conditioner or heat when your vehicle isn’t running Low air temperatures, causing your battery to freeze Lack of battery maintenance Not starting your vehicle for long periods of time Failure of voltage regulator within the alternator How To Avoid A Dead Battery: The easiest way to put your mind to ease that you won’t be in this situation is to service your battery regularly to make sure there are no issues. This is exceptionally important when temperatures start to drop drastically or after driving long miles. A technician can test your battery to ensure that it’s still in a good, healthy condition. Be smart with your vehicle. Don’t use certain features like the radio, chargers, or lights for long periods of time without starting your vehicle. This puts a lot of stress on your battery and can end up killing your battery altogether. Avoid extreme temperatures if you can. We encourage you to park your vehicle in your garage (if you have one). This can cut back on exposure to extreme temperatures and won’t be the mortality of your battery. What To Do When Your Battery Dies: Of course, the first answer is to jump-start your vehicle. It’s always a great idea to keep a set of jumper cables inside your vehicle for emergencies whether that is you or another driver. Also, keep in mind that you should never try to jump start a battery if it is cracked or visibly leaking acid. Roadside assistance is a beautiful thing and is almost necessary. If you do find yourself stranded and in need of help, be sure to call roadside assistance for help. This is especially helpful if you are on the highway and can’t flag down another driver. Plus, it’s safer to stay in your vehicle while a trained professional addresses the situation.
