James and Megan from Destination Kia are committed to giving back in a big way. They have chosen to match the first $50,000 donated through their donor drive page to Catholic Relief Services in order to help Ukrainian refugees. Catholic Relief Services is a BBB accredited charity and through its partnership with Caritas Internationals, this charity is already on the ground and operational in Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, and Moldova. With 92% of all funds going directly to their programs, Catholic Relief Services only retains 4% for admin and another 4% for fundraising (according to their website and the BBB). If you would like to contribute to the efforts of James, Megan, Destination Kia, and the Catholic Relief Services to provide help to Ukrainian refugees, you can donate by clicking HERE. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Ukraine.

That's why we are committed to giving back by supporting local organizations that provide our community with programs dedicated to their betterment.

Through Destination Kia’s ongoing efforts we were able to donate $4638.00 to each of these nonprofits to help fund the vital services they provide. We want to thank To Life and the Center for Disability Services for everything they do for our community and we’d like to thank our community for their patronage and allowing us to give back!

It’s a new year, and Destination Kia is back with some new tips for you! Now that the holiday season is starting to die down, and we’re starting to get back on track, it's important to remember that winter is still here. What does that mean for you? Well, we still have several months of winter ahead of us, and if your ride isn’t in shape for ever-changing conditions, then it’s time for a service appointment with the professionals here at Destination Kia. Just head over to our website to schedule your service appointment now! However, if you like to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty this week’s blog is for you! Take a peek below at our ultimate winter check-up! It’s always a good idea to see if everything is running smoothly, and if not, give us a call! Check and change the oil: Regular oil and filter changes will keep your engine’s life running longer Nothing will destroy an engine faster than neglecting oil-level checks or fresh-oil changes. Flush and change the cooling system: A 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water will keep the cooling system in good shape and prevent corrosion and deposits from building up inside the cooling system. Be sure to change your coolant once a year Change out transmission and differential oils: While not requiring frequent service, these fluids must be changed according to service intervals. Before topping off fluids, be sure that it is the proper oil and transmission fluid needed for your vehicle Clean it up: Washing your vehicle is obvious, but when it comes to cleaning the vehicle’s underside many of us fall short. Everything the vehicle ran over can also get stuck to the underside, hosing off winter salt and road grime is a good idea to keep from corrosion or build up. Grease it up: Everything with moving parts needs grease to survive, make sure the proper vehicle parts remain greased as needed Wax on, wax off: Nothing keeps your vehicle’s paint looking good and protected like a coat of quality wax. Wax should be applied every six months. Keep Driveline components Lubricated: Driveline components such as u-joints also require regular lubrication Protect it from harmful UVs: Protect the interior plastic by parking the vehicle in the shade, harmful UVs can deteriorate the plastic On sunny days, be sure to use a window deflector screen Applying a UV protectant to prevent the plastic and vinyl from drying out can also help Keep your wheels fresh to death: Inspect, clean, and repack wheel bearings with wheel bearing grease according to service intervals This is a pretty cheap task so you won’t break the bank doing so. Top off your brake fluid: Brake fluid   moisture, which causes components to corrode and fail Replacing the brake fluid and bleed system once a year will keep from damage happening Brake fluid is pretty cheap Schedule Your Kia Service Here: https://www.destinationkia.com/schedule-service.html
