With the new year upon up– it’s time to make better choices! A great way to keep your resolutions is to start small. One simple resolution you can start with is taking better care of your Kia! Keeping your car organized isn’t just important for space, but for your safety too. That’s why this week we are here to help you get your car clean and organized in only four simple steps! So take a peek at our helpful hints below, and if you’re really trying to show your ride some TLC, take a look at some of our available Service Specials today! We’ll get your ride running like new for an incredibly affordable price today! Tips For Keeping Your Kia Organized: Sort and Clean Take everything out of the car, including car seats, music, and miscellaneous items stored in the glove box and door pockets. Organize the rest of the items into three piles: stuff you use all the time, things you use occasionally, and items you might need in an emergency. Whatever doesn’t fall into these categories should be stored in your home or garage. Analyze Ask yourself, “How do I use my car?” Are you an Uber or Lyft driver? Maybe you’re a parent with two toddlers in car seats or a salesman who travels with a trunkload of samples. Whatever it is, figure it out. Prioritize Depending upon your needs, go through your three piles and prioritize the most important items in each group And just like seasonal clothes in a closet, many items such as ice scrapers and deicing fluid can be stored in your garage or basement until seasonally appropriate! Contain Loose objects in the car lead to disorganization and mess. In the event of a sudden stop or a crash, they can also damage your car or, worse, injure your occupants. Get yourself a good organizer to keep all of your items concise and easy to access.

The summer season is coming to a close and with chillier days ahead you should prepare your vehicle for the fall and winter months ahead! And a big proponent of vehicle maintenance lies in protecting your vehicle’s exterior from harsh seasonal changes! So, take a look at Destination Kia’s vehicle paint pointers below and, if the job seems too big to do yourself, schedule a service appointment here at our Kia Service Center and let our service technicians take care of everything! Our team can’t wait to get your ride sparkling like new! Destination Kia’s Vehicle Paint Pointers: Use a clay bar to rid your vehicle's exterior of debris. Clay bars help extract tree sap, dirt and gravel, and other road debris from your vehicle's clear coat! Polish out small surface scratches. Everyday mark ups on your ride can be buffed out with a quality polish and soft fiber cloth. Protect your polish job with wax. The best protection for your vehicle is built up in layers, so be sure to protect your newly finished polish with a coat of wax. Regularly wash your vehicle. Of course none of that really works unless you wash your vehicle regularly. Especially in the fall and winter months when the roads are salted to help guard against ice!
