July 4th is almost here, and if you live anywhere near me you’ve probably heard fireworks going off since the 1st. We’re just so dang patriotic! And, well, we enjoy a good explosion every now and again. If you’re the type of person who loves fireworks (who doesn’t, honestly) then there are a ton of opportunities to witness these marvels of ancient innovation (the earliest documentation of fireworks was in 9th century China!) in the Capital Region this July. Check them out below! First of all, we have the ever-popular fireworks show on the Empire State Plaza on July 4th. It’s been sponsored by Price Chopper since 1976 and every year they’ve outdone themselves! Protip: arrive early, because there are a TON of people, and bring a lawn chair or blanket. Don’t forget earplugs for the kids, because the pyrotechnics echo off of the Plaza buildings and get very loud. Admission is free! The event is from 3pm-10pm. If you’re a baseball fan, the ValleyCats are playing the Vermont Lake Monsters at the Joe at 6:30pm on the 4th. Not only will this be a great game of baseball, but the ValleyCats are known for their amazing postgame fireworks shows and their Independence Day show is the crème de la crème. Protip: come hungry and enjoy those ballpark franks! Do you live in the Clifton Park area? You’ve got a great fireworks show of your own at the Clifton Common starting at 12pm on the 4th! A parade is the first order of the day, and the Common will host rides, games, food, and various vendors, and musical guests will be the soundtrack to your Independence Day fun. This is the largest locally-sponsored fireworks display in the Capital Region! Protip: slather on the sunscreen and wear comfortable shoes or sandals! Are you a history buff? Then you should head down to Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site and enjoy historic games, music, and fun colonial activities to celebrate our country’s independence. Oh, and there’ll be free Stewart’s ice cream. You can beat the heat and take a tour of the mansion and see the room where Alexander Hamilton was married (did you know that President Millard Fillmore was married in the same room?) as well as other rooms that show what life was like for our founding fathers. Protip: bring the kids and a sense of fun, and then hit the Plaza fireworks show after spending the day at Schuyler Mansion! These are some of the best events our region has to offer - enjoy them this holiday and have a fantastic Independence Day! Visit Destination Kia On The 5th!

If you’re looking for a great weekend project to do in your vehicle, try getting organized! Organizing your vehicle is not only easy, but the final product is incredibly satisfying and useful. Summer is the season for road trips, and it’s always great to make sure your vehicle is in order before traveling so that you can ensure everyone is comfortable and has space for their stuff. Take a look at our tips for organizing your vehicle and give them a try before your next long drive! Lots of passengers but not enough places to store essentials? Stick small suction cup shower caddies to the window to store things like water bottles, toys, wipes, and anything else that you don’t want getting stuck under your seat. Make sure you have a trash can in the vehicle. It can be as simple as a plastic bag or as hardcore as a specifically-designed car trash can, but you should make sure that you have a solution for debris and junk. Always have a fully-stocked emergency kit in the vehicle. This is just basic! Don’t have a place for change? Use an empty gum container or pill bottle. Perfect for tolls! Silicone muffin cups at the bottoms of cupholders make it REALLY easy to clean those suckers out. Just pull out the muffin cups and throw them in the dishwasher when they’re really grody. Bringing candy on a road trip? Stick the pieces between the slats on your air vent to keep them from melting with the summer heat. Keep your glove compartment neat. When you’re traveling, especially to a different state, you’re definitely going to need your registration, insurance, and license in case you get pulled over. It’s also just a good idea to keep that spot organized! Use a binder clip to hold your sunglasses on your visor when it’s dark out. Now they won’t get lost! If you drive an SUV or hatchback, use a shoe organizer hung from the back of the rear seats as a trunk organizer so small stuff doesn’t go flying and you have all the essentials on hand. Don’t want to lose your spare key? Use a magnetic key holder to store your key under your car. Make sure it’s attached to a spot that is both magnetic AND tucked into a relatively secure spot to avoid getting knocked off or damaged. Take A Look At These Prices!

Summer’s officially here and it’s more important than ever to make sure that your vehicle’s coolant level is where it should be so that your engine doesn’t overheat. We can do that for you when you come visit the shop, but if you’re out of the area and need to take a look, you should know what to look for. Here goes - keep reading for more tips! Before you reach for the radiator cap, check the coolant reservoir to make sure that the liquid reaches the “Full” line on the side of the reservoir. If it doesn’t reach that far, then open up that lid and pour in a 50/50 mix of water and the coolant your vehicle takes until the level reaches the full line. Some coolants do come premixed, so make sure you read the bottle thoroughly. DO NOT add coolant to a hot engine! You can burn yourself badly or crack your engine block. You can also spray yourself with hot coolant if you open the radiator or coolant cap when your engine is hot due to the pressure and heat buildup. Coolant is usually red, green, blue, or yellow. If you see something weird, like things floating in the coolant or a rustiness or even a sludgy, oily surface, then you should take your vehicle to the shop to check for issues such as internal head gasket leakage. When you’re under the hood, feel your radiator hoses as well. Make sure they are not cracked, squishy, bulging, or leaking. If they are any of these things, replace them ASAP. Stop In To The Shop

Hello, Kia customers, Miss Manners here. Yes, it is me - I am writing guest blogs for car dealerships now. I wanted to address this post to every person who has had a negative experience in a parking lot. “But Miss Manners,” you may ask, “how do parking lots have anything to do with manners?” Good question! Manners are important everywhere you go, whether it’s the soup aisle of the grocery store, your mother-in-law’s home, or the parking lot. Did you know that parking lots are one of the places where manners seem to disappear entirely? (Yes, I made up this fact for emphasis, but it’s very believable.) This week, I will be discussing some important rules of parking lot etiquette - and I expect that everyone will immediately begin to follow these rules upon reading this blog. You may not believe it now, but it is a real, true fact that if people behave themselves in the parking lot, the place will feel a lot friendlier. Read on. Make sure your car is pulled into the space far enough, but not too far. If you have a normal-size car, pull your vehicle all the way into the space so the rear of your car is in line with other cars. This makes it easier for other drivers to see past your car when they are backing out of adjacent spaces, and also gives the widest possible driving lane between rows. Pulling in properly is particularly helpful when shoppers pushing loaded carts are sharing the driving lane with moving vehicles. If you drive a super small vehicle, park so that the back end of your car is in line with the cars beside you. This lets drivers know that the space is occupied and does not give a false impression that the parking spot is vacant. Never force your car into a space that’s too small. Standard parking spaces are generally 9 feet wide while compact car spaces are only 7 feet wide and shorter. Obviously, a large SUV or pickup will not fit easily in a compact car space. Quite simply put, they are not supposed to fit. Watch for pedestrian crosswalks in parking lots. Crosswalks are common near the main entrances and exits of most large garages and lots. Created for the safety of pedestrians coming from and returning to their cars, they are usually marked with diagonal white or yellow stripes and often marked with a pedestrian crossing or stop sign.  As much as you are in a hurry to find a spot, slow down. Watch for pedestrians and obey all signs in the parking lot. Park straight in a parking space. In a parking lot or garage where cars are parked in slots, leave room on each side so you can open your doors without hitting the cars beside you. Park in the middle of a marked parking space. Overhanging the stripes will crowd the driver who parks next to you will inevitably lead to door dings in the paint. Don’t straddle a line and take up two spaces in a parking lot or garage. Some people with new cars or those who don’t want to risk having their car’s sides banged by adjacent car doors will park in the middle of two spaces. This is not only rude; it also makes it impossible for others to park at all.  Crowded garages and lots need every space. Take your turn when waiting for a parking place. In a crowded parking garage or lot, when you see someone pulling out of a space, get as close as you can and turn on your turn signal to let other drivers know you have “dibs” on the space.  If another car is close to the space and has its turn signal on already, you lose! The other car gets the space. If you and another driver both think you found the space first, be generous and let it go. A parking space is not worth a fight.  Another spot will be vacant soon. Make your intentions clear when walking in a parking lot. If you’re walking back to your car and you sense a car crawling down the aisle behind you, don’t presume they’re sightseeing. They want your parking space! Finally, don’t expect miracles. Even if you are already driving this way, or decide to adopt these courteous practices, don’t expect others to do the same. Be careful of letting your expectations for others’ behavior contribute to your own potential parking lot rage. Take a few deep breaths, and take your time. Save Money On A New Kia

Have you ever stopped at the gas station, filled up the tank, and then squeezed that pump just a little bit more after it automatically shuts off so that you get a nice round dollar amount? It’s okay if you have, because I totally do that too. Pretty much every time I get gas. However, I want to tell you that it’s actually a very bad idea to do this! I know, I didn’t think that it was actually bad either but, well. Now I know. Check out the reasons why you shouldn’t top off your gas tank - I didn’t know these and now I feel like I am saving my car every time I manfully refrain from squeezing that pump. First of all, when you top off your gas tank, what you’re doing is literally adding more gas than can actually fit in the tank to begin with. That’s why the pump handle releases - because the sensor in the pump can tell when the tank is totally full, and so when you keep squeezing… well. You can figure it out. That excess gas doesn’t magically fit into the tank, though. If the tank is too full then the gas can go into your vehicle’s evaporative emissions system - specifically the carbon filter, which is designed only to hold fuel vapors, not actual fuel. The gas can then spill on the ground or cause issues with engine operation - the result of which is poor fuel economy, poor emissions, and decreased engine performance overall. The next thing is that you’re just wasting money. A lot of pumps can sense when there’s too much gas in the tank already (as I mentioned above) and after that point is reached, it’ll start sending gas back into the station’s tank if you keep trying to add more to your own tank. So the dollars and cents will continue to rise but you’re getting none of the gas that you’re paying for. Waste! Of! Money! Save your hard-earned cash and don’t waste it on topping off or engine repairs due to topping off. Let’s break the top-off habit together and revel in our newfound wealth! It might not be much, but it’s better than having nothing, right? Stop At The Pump Less!

One of my favorite parts of summer (and late spring that feels like summer) is driving around town with my windows and sunroof open, blasting some of my favorite tunes and enjoying a delicious extra-thick chocolate milkshake from our favorite stew and art supplies store. My little Soul is the perfect vehicle for this, by the way - with a bumpin’ sound system and those awesome vibes, I feel very cool when I do this. Try it sometime, seriously. Anyway, I have created a ~collection~ of some of my favorite songs to listen to on just this type of day, and you should definitely give it a listen and let me know what you think. THE LATE SPRING/EARLY SUMMER PLAYLIST OF YOUR POP MUSIC DREAMS Really Don’t Care - Demi Lovato, Cher Lloyd Fred Astaire - San Cisco Human - The Killers Take A Walk - Passion Pit Shut Up And Dance - WALK THE MOON Boogie Feet - Kesha, Eagles Of Death Metal Girls Chase Boys - Ingrid Michaelson Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato Kissing Strangers - DNCE Holiday - Vampire Weekend Feel It Still - Portugal.

Do you have any fun summer road trips planned? We definitely do, and we’re super excited to bring the family along and explore some great outdoor fun - Great Escape, anyone? Well, from Niagara Falls to the Ausable Chasm to the Catskills, road trips can get a little tedious, especially for kids in the car who just can’t wait to get there already. That’s where fun games come in - it’s always important to have fun games on hand to play to avoid car sickness and boredom at the same time. Check out some of our favorite games for road trips of any length! Share your favorite games with us on our Facebook page, especially if you don’t see them on this list! And without further ado… our game choices! Eye Spy - this is definitely an oldie but a very-goodie. It’s great for all ages, and the rules are simple! One person picks a landmark or item inside or outside the car that they can actually see and describes it with one adjective. The other passengers then have to guess what it is! Twenty Questions - One person thinks of something, and then everyone else in the car has a collective twenty questions that they can ask to try and suss out what the thing is. Depending on the players, this thing can be as esoteric or commonplace as you want! License Plates - Try and spot a license plate from every state of the union. Depending on where you’re going, you can also try for all the provinces of Canada! With kids in the car, a good idea is to print out a list of all the states so that they can get crossed off the list when they are spotted. The Alphabet Game - Find each letter of the alphabet, in order, on road signs. You cannot use license plates, and you can’t “save letters for later.” This game gets competitive, especially if you’re trying to beat someone else to a letter. The Quiet Game - For the parent who just needs a little peace, challenge everyone to the Quiet Game, where they have to be silent for as long as possible. This is very restful for you and challenging to the kids. Sometimes that’s just the way it’s got to be! Find Your Road Trip Ride For Less

Something that you should know about your car’s battery is that the power that’s housed inside of it is an absolutely finite resource. One day, your battery will die. Of course, if you take good care of it and drive carefully, that day should be several years after you buy the battery, but eventually, it will perish and you’ll be powerless (get it) to stop it. That’s why you should know now how to change your battery, so that in the event that you need to do so, you can. First of all, the location of your battery is going to be in your owner’s manual. If you drive anything other than a regular old gasoline vehicle (i.e. a hybrid) you should 100% be checking your owner’s manual for instructions on how to change the battery. When you’ve located the battery, make sure you know which post is the positive one and which is the negative, and which color the cables are that are attached to them. The positive post will probably have a red plastic cover, a red cable, and a plus sign (+) stamped on the battery next to the positive post. If the cables are not color coded, put some tape on them and label the cables. With a wrench, loosen the nut or bolt that keeps the negative terminal and cable attached to the battery. Remove them from the battery, and then move on to the positive terminal. ALWAYS DO NEGATIVE FIRST! Check your battery to see if it is being held down by clamps or tie-downs or similar and remove them if they are there. Set all of your loose parts aside where they will not be misplaced while you switch out the battery. Now, lift out the battery without jostling it or tipping it. It is heavy, so be careful! Next, it’s time to install the new battery! Place it into the same spot the old battery was in and make sure it is oriented the same exact way the old one was. Take the plastic caps off of the battery posts, and if there are anti-corrosion washers included then slide those on. A good idea is to smear a thin layer of Vaseline onto the posts before attaching the terminals to the battery to prevent corrosion and make sure your vehicle is always getting as much power as it needs. Attach the terminals back on, positive first, and fasten it back down with the clamps/tie-downs that you removed before. Give the battery a little wiggle and make sure it doesn’t move. If it does, tighten the clamps holding it down. And… you’re done! Great job! Make sure you recycle your old battery - a quick Google search will let you know the best place to do that.

With the warm weather we’re having, you know what that means: it’s construction season! Do you agree with the idea that in upstate NY there are two seasons? And those two seasons are winter and construction season? Let us know what you think. Anyway, with the advent of construction season comes the increased need to understand the best ways to be safe when driving in work zones. Check out our tips for driving safely and legally and not stressing when you hit the cone zones and spot workers out repairing the potholes that good ol’ Mother Nature threw into the Northway and the street I live on in Troy. (This may or may not be a gentle plea to get my street repaved… so traffic gods, I hope you’re reading this!) Stay Alert - don’t get distracted by your radio, your passengers, your Dunkin, your phone, or anything else, especially when you’re driving in a construction zone. Give the road your full, undivided attention. Keep your headlights on - even during the day, it’s a good idea to switch on your headlights if you don’t have DRL’s. Did we say pay attention? - Watch for road signs, brake lights, and other vehicles to see if people are slowing down, what the speed limit should be, and other important information about the traffic pattern. Merge in time - don’t wait until the very last second to merge into the correct lane. If you see a sign that says “Lane Closed Ahead,” then get into the lane that’s going to be open and just stay there. You can zoom past that old lady in a Buick after you pass the construction area. Patience is a virtue! Don’t tailgate - that being said, don’t be right up that old lady’s tailpipe the entire time you’re stuck behind her. That’s not only rude, it’s illegal. Obey the speed limit - Sure, you can go 65 on the Northway, but if the work zone speed limit is 45 then slow the heck down and obey the speed limit! There are probably workers on the road working mere feet from where cars are, and you don’t want to get into a really serious accident. Also, ticket fines are doubled for speeding in work zones. So, there’s that as well. Change lanes safely - don’t drive like a maniac! When you’re still in a construction area, change lanes like you are that old lady in the Buick and be safe about it. Watch for flaggers and follow their instructions - don’t ignore those people with flags. They have a job to do and you can get ticketed for ignoring flaggers. Expect the unexpected - work zones are one of the places on this earth where chaos has a tendency to reign, and you should not expect driving in one to be smooth sailing. Trucks, other vehicles, and machinery can enter your lane at any time and you need to be prepared. PATIENCE IS KEY. This is in caps because it’s important. Be patient. It’ll be good. You’ll Always Feel Great In A Stinger

We all know about those people out in the world called “millennials.” In fact, you (yes you, reading this right now) might even be one yourself! That’s totally cool. Millennials are the future! But one thing that’s probably an eternal fact about any generation is that no matter who you are, you probably need a car. Everyone has a different set of needs when it comes to transportation, and though it’s unfair to group millennials together and make blanket statements, we’re a little more interested in some things (like tech) than in other things (the intricacies of a manual transmission). Well, we’ve put together some of our favorite Kia vehicles for people of a ~certain age~ in this week’s blog! Take a look! First up, the Kia Soul. This is a perennial favorite for a lot of good reasons. Not only does it look cool and unique, it’s got a really great way of tackling the road. And remember those hamster commercials where they were always rocking out because the sound system in the Soul was so good? Well, that’s legit - the Soul is famous in the Kia lineup for being the perfect car to bump your music in. And now that it’s 2018, the Soul comes with Kia’s UVO technology and eServices. The free UVO eServices app integrates your iPhone® with your vehicle to connect with 24-hour roadside assistance, monitor vehicle maintenance requirements, and much more. Wherever you park, UVO eServices can record your vehicle's location and, if necessary, help you find it by using your compatible smartphone. We are all about that. Oh, and you can get it with a turbocharger. There’s that, too. The Soul EV gets its own little paragraph because it’s like your standard Soul but with the added bonus of being extra-eco friendly on account of how it doesn’t use gas. It’s the same Soul style standard with a DC Fast Charge port, an estimated driving range of 0-111 miles, and 210 lb.-ft. of instant torque. You’ve got the same advanced in-car technology, but now fully charged with energy-smart innovations, like bio-based cabin materials and the UVO eco connectivity system. Unlike many EVs, all Soul EVs come standard with the quickest available charge port, the DC Fast Charge, which supplies an 80% charge to an empty battery in about 30 minutes. That’s in addition to two more convenient ways to charge. Whether you’re starting your day, leaving the office, or enjoying your road trip, you can always find a full charge. And if you want to save a little coin, every time you recharge your battery instead of gas up at the pump, you are saving money. Because an EV is propelled by only an electric motor (or motors), the system is cleaner and more streamlined than that of a gasoline vehicle, so maintenance costs are lower. Electric companies often times offer reduced electricity rates for EV owners, lowering the cost of charging your Soul EV at home. For example, several major car insurance companies also offer significant discounts to EV owners. More potential perks include rebates for home charger installation, free or preferred public parking, free charging at certain businesses, and reduced toll fees. Remember, every 60 gallons of gas used to power a car produces over half a ton of carbon dioxide. When you drive an EV, you produce zero CO2 tailpipe emissions. Go EV! Next up is the Kia Niro, first the standard hybrid version and then the plug-in version! Yes, you read that right, the hybrid is the standard version of the Niro, which means whichever you choose you’re going to be saving some gas money. It also connects to your Google Home or Amazon Alexa, and with the same UVO system and bangin’ Harman/Kardon sound system, you’ve got the best hookup in town. From the Parallel Hybrid System and regenerative braking system, to the impressively efficient and fun-to-drive dual-clutch automatic transmission with Sport Mode, the Niro is the perfect pairing of optimized fuel economy and dynamic driving performance. And with a 10-year/100,00-mile warranty that covers the hybrid system, including the electric traction motor, you can drive the open road with confidence. The Niro Plug-In is pretty much the same, but is totally electric! When it comes to saving dollars, is the next step in the electric evolution. Hit the open road with a hybrid system capable of going fully electric (EV mode) with the push of a button for trips around town. It's also eligible for a High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) decal in select states, and Federal and tax rebates in select states can help make it more affordable than you think. How does it work? The Niro Plug-In Hybrid delivers versatility right down to its power source. With the push of a button, you can go all-electric using a high-density, lithium-ion polymer battery with an estimated EPA rated All Electric Range (AER) up to 26 miles. And you can be confident knowing you'll never be stranded with its hybrid gas-electric HEV mode. Take a look at these awesome vehicles and let us know when you want to take your test drive!
