Have you been thinking about hitting the open road this Spring? Or planning out a nice long road trip for the summer? We don’t blame you for wanting to spend more time on the road in your incredible Kia! But before you go, we want to share a few helpful tips to help you conquer your next trip! Take a look at our list below and if you think your car may need a check-up before any long excursions, schedule a service appointment with Destination Kia’s qualified team of professionals today!
Destination Kia’s Road Trip Tips:
Clean Your Ride Before, During, & After The Trip
- From top to bottom, give your car a wash, vacuum, and be sure to throw out any trash or unnecessary items. You’ll regret not cleaning out your vehicle beforehand when you’re trying to pack up for your next adventure.
Give Your Vehicle A Check Up
- Before leaving for your trip, we encourage you to have your vehicle looked over by a service team to ensure things are in proper working order; especially if you’re headed out on a longer trip. From your fluid levels, brakes, tires, and anything else that can cause an issue, it’s important to make sure you’re ready to handle any situation.
Have A Backup Plan
- It’s always important when hitting the road to have a backup plan, whether it’s additional options for activities to do for the day, lodging arrangements, or having alternative routes to your destination, it’s important to be able to change your plans on-the-fly if issues arise along the way.
Bring Entertainment Options
- While rocking out on the road might be fun for a while it might get old after a couple of hours. Many of our newer Kai models come equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which allow you access to podcasts, audio books, and even have the capability to stream television and movies!
Join A Roadside Assist Service
- While we hope you won’t be needing it, having roadside assistance is a great way to stay safe if things go south during your trip. Having access to these services will save you a lot of trouble and we strongly recommend it!
