Tire rotation isn't a pointless task because the front tires wear faster than the rear set due to the engine weight. We recommend rotating your Kia's tires every 5,000-8,000 miles to balance the treads, and here are five benefits of doing so at your Kia dealer. more Longer Tire Lifespan Most vehicles have their engines mounted under the hood, which places more weight on the front tires. This additional weight makes them wear up to 50% faster than the rear set, meaning you'll have to replace the front tires more often than the rear. Sticking to the rotation schedule will make all four tires wear evenly and last longer. Better Handling Sharp car handling depends on several components, including the suspension system. Without rotating the tires, the treads will wear unevenly, causing vibrations as you drive that exert pressure on the suspension. These vibrations can make the cabin noisy even on smooth surfaces, damage the suspension, and negatively impact handling at high speeds. Additionally, the uneven tire wear makes the front wheels have less grip on wet or loose surfaces, especially when cornering or braking hard. Better Fuel/Battery Efficiency Remember we said that rotating tires makes the tire treads wear evenly? Well, this even wear makes the wheels have uniform contact with the road surface, creating enough friction to prevent slipping. As such, your vehicle won't waste energy trying to grip the road. All the combustion or electric power will propel you forward. Makes Other Linked Components Last Longer Some car components are interconnected, meaning wear on one part can interfere with other systems. With your Kia's tires, uneven wear can exert more pressure on the suspension, brake pads, and wheel hub, making them wear faster. You can label this rotation as a preventive maintenance measure because it makes these critical and expensive components last longer. Your Kia Dealer Will Ensure the Rotation Is Correctly Done Rotating tires is a straightforward task, but with a formula. You don't just switch the front tires with the rear. If your Kia is front-wheel drive, you should move the front wheels straight back and the rear wheels to the opposite side on the front. But for all-wheel and rear-wheel drive Kias, the front tires should go to the opposite sides on the rear and the rear tires straight to the front. When rotating the tires, our factory-trained technicians can check their tread depth and pressure and then let you know if you should change them or only do a rotation.

Driving is a lot more fun when you're in a well-maintained vehicle. Sticking to a regular schedule of car maintenance will also save you money at the gas pump and stave off more costly repairs down the line. And when you're working with your local Kia dealer, keeping your vehicle in top condition is easy. more 1. Watch for Puddles Under Your Car If you consistently notice puddles of fluid beneath your vehicle after it's been parked, that may be a sign that fluids are leaking. Your Kia relies on important fluids to keep the engine cool, lubricated, and functioning at its peak. Transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and motor oil are all essential to keeping the systems in your vehicle functioning. If you spot signs that any of these may be leaking, it's time to book a service appointment. 2. Stick With the Recommended Service Schedule When it comes to vehicle maintenance, there's no need to reinvent the wheel. The owner's manual that came with your vehicle includes a recommended service schedule. Most Kias need to be serviced every 10,000 miles, or at least once a year. Sticking with the recommended service schedule is the easiest and surest way to maintain your vehicle. 3. Keep the Vehicle Clean Washing and waxing your vehicle at regular intervals will protect the paint job and minimize the effect of weather conditions. It will also give you a chance to spot and fix little nicks and scratches before rust has a chance to set in. 4. Regularly Inspect Your Tires Walk around your vehicle every week or so and give your tires a quick inspection. Make sure your tires aren't over or underinflated, and look for signs of damage and wear, like bulges, cracks, and thin tread. The tires serve as a foundation for the entire vehicle, and if they're overly worn, not properly inflated, or out of alignment, it can stress the brakes, suspension system, and other components of the car. It's also important to routinely rotate the position of your tires on the vehicle. Our service department will take care of this each time your vehicle is in for an oil change. 5. Pay Attention to Your Vehicle's Warning Lights Seeing a warning light on your dashboard is not always a sign that something serious is wrong. It may simply mean that your vehicle is due for service, or that you're low on gasoline. But if you see a light, it's a good idea to respond to it and schedule an appointment to have things checked out. Following a regular maintenance schedule will ensure your vehicle is safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient. When you're ready to schedule your next service appointment, call Mike Kelly Kia.

Damage from the environment or improper maintenance is not covered by any of these warranty plans. Other exclusions include wear and tear on parts like filters and batteries, as well as the cost of routine maintenance for services like tire rotations. These warranties will not cover airbags, body parts, tires, wheels, lightbulbs, upholstery, brake pads, and a few other vehicle components. What Are Additional Perks? Each of the Kia extended protection plans includes perks like towing coverage, travel coverage, fluids coverage, and rental car reimbursement. These perks can save you some money if your Kia has unexpected mechanical issues, especially if you're traveling away from home or your Kia needs to be repaired at the dealership for several days. Do You Have to Have a CPO Kia? To qualify for one of these extended vehicle protection plans, you may have to own an eligible used Kia. Your dealership can help you determine your eligibility for any extended coverage plan, whether you have a used or certified pre-owned Kia. Ask Your Kia Dealer About Other Warranty Programs To fully customize your level of vehicle protection, you can ask your dealership about other vehicle protection plans. Plans such as Ding Shield Plus and Ding Shield Ultimate can save you time and money for body repairs. Kia Distinction Vehicle Protection Plans, such as Deluxe, Premium, Superior, and Superior Plus, can cover tire replacement and repair, wheel replacement, cosmetic wheel repair, interior repair, and windshield repair or replacement. Warranties from Kia are exceptional. Extended coverage with a Kia vehicle protection plan can save you significant money for unexpected covered repairs, such as mechanical defects.

One of the routine maintenance tasks you shouldn't overlook is the inspection and replacement of your car's air filters. Whether it's the engine air filter or the cabin air filter, timely checks ensure smooth vehicle operation and optimal air quality. Keep reading to learn when to get a new car air filter from your Kia dealer. more Signs that Your Engine Air Filter Needs Replacement Decreased Gas Mileage A dirty or clogged engine air filter can reduce the airflow to the engine. When this happens, the engine compensates by consuming more fuel. If you notice that your Kia's gas mileage isn't what it used to be, it might be worth checking the engine air filter. Unusual Engine Noises When the air filter is clogged, it can result in abnormal engine noises, particularly when the vehicle is idle. A consistent coughing or sputtering sound might indicate that it's time for a filter change. Check Engine Light Illuminated While many factors can trigger the check engine light, a severely clogged engine air filter can be one of them. If your light comes on, it's always a good idea to check the air filter. Reduced Horsepower If you feel like your Kia doesn't have the same zip when you press the accelerator, a clogged air filter might be the culprit. A lack of proper airflow can limit the engine's performance. Signs that Your Cabin Air Filter Needs Replacement Reduced Airflow from the Vents When the cabin air filter is blocked, airflow from the vents can be noticeably weaker. Unpleasant Odors The cabin air filter's job is also to prevent unwanted particles and odors from entering the vehicle's interior. If you start to detect a musty or foul odor when the vents are on, this could be a sign that the filter needs to be replaced. Foggy or Icy Windows The cabin air filter plays a role in the vehicle's defrosting process. If you find that your windows fog up easily or take longer to clear in icy conditions, this might indicate that the filter isn't performing optimally. Allergy Symptoms For those sensitive to pollen, dust, and other airborne particles, a clogged cabin air filter can exacerbate allergy symptoms. If you or your passengers notice increased sneezing or respiratory discomfort, consider checking the filter. Get a New Car Air Filter From Your Kia Dealer Always use genuine Kia parts to get the best lifespan out of your air filters. Your dealer will be happy to change them for you, and ensuring your Kia's air filters are in good condition is integral to both the performance of your vehicle and the comfort of your driving experience. If you're uncertain about the state of your air filters or need a replacement, contact Mike Kelly Kia. Image via Pixabay

How firm is the traction of your current tires when you drive over a wet patch of road? If they're not kept in tip-top condition and replaced in a timely manner, car tires can become a safety hazard, potentially causing a skid or blowing out on the road. Let's look at six clear indications that a tire is on its last legs. If you notice the following warning signs, head to your local Kia dealership for new tires right away. more Your Tires Are Over Six Years Old It's generally recommended that you replace your tires once they reach six years of age. With the amount of strain and wear tires undergo, plus the natural weakening of tire rubber over time, even the highest quality tires become susceptible to damage after six years. If you're unsure how old your tires are, check the four-digit number on the sidewall of each tire. The second two digits represent the year in which the tire was manufactured. The first two digits denote the specific week during the year. You Lose Confidence in Your Traction Healthy tires should feel absolutely secure when you corner or brake, no matter what kind of road surface you're driving on. If your car's traction ever feels diminished, causing you to become more hesitant and nervous while driving, it's probably time for replacement tires. Your Tires' Treads Are Too Shallow When the tread depth of tires reaches 2/32 of an inch, it's time for replacements. Tires with treads any shallower than this can no longer reliably grip the road. When you measure the tread depths of a tire, be sure to measure several points around the circumference of the tire. The shallowest point shouldn't be under 2/32 of an inch. Your Tires Are Excessively Uneven If you notice your tires have become slightly uneven, you may be able to correct the unevenness by rotating them. But if your tires have become excessively uneven, your handling will be reduced, and you're more likely to suffer a skid or blowout on the road. You may need to replace all four tires. You Have an Irreparable Puncture Many punctures can be repaired, especially when the puncture occurs in the thick tread section of the tire. But awkwardly placed punctures in the tire's shoulder or sidewall, or any area that flexes too much, often means the tire has to go. Visit Mike Kelly Kia today to have your tires replaced or repaired. Our full-service dealership has been serving the Kia drivers of Butler and the surrounding area with top-notch cars and customer service for 18 years. Image via Pixabay

Brake pads bear the brunt of the load when it comes to slowing or stopping your car. Each brake pad has a friction layer that clamps onto the rotor whenever you use your car's brakes. This friction layer wears down each time you use it until it's gone altogether, and the pad needs to be replaced. Let's take a look at how often you should be visiting your Kia dealer for a new brake pad or two. more If you look in your owner's manual, you'll find Kia's recommendation for how frequently to replace the pads in your particular model. This will usually be every 20,000 to 30,000 miles, which is every year or two for most drivers. However, the lifespan of a brake pad really depends on how much you're using it. It's quite possible for a brake pad to wear out in less than a year under extremely heavy usage. Likewise, your pads might last for 80,000 miles if you mostly drive long distances on highways with relatively little braking. Read the following brake-heavy driving conditions and styles to estimate how often you'll need new pads. Driving Conditions That Wear Pads Down Faster The number one killer of braking pads is probably heavy urban stop-and-go traffic. When a driver commutes every day in constant traffic jams, their foot is rarely far from the brake pedal. Steep stretches of road in hilly or mountainous terrain also force drivers to use their brakes a great deal. Lots of sharp turns on winding roads have the same effect. The weight of your vehicle also influences how much wear and tear your brakes undergo. The heavier your car, the more force needs to be exerted to slow it down and the quicker the pad's friction layer scrapes away. Because of this, regularly towing trailers or carrying heavy loads on your roof rack or in the bed of your pickup truck will also mean you need to replace your pads more frequently. Driving Styles That Put More Pressure on Pads Your personal style of driving also impacts how rapidly your pads wear down. Drivers who like to ride the brakes and use the brake pedal excessively tend to need a bigger budget for new pads. Have Your Brakes Serviced Often at Your Kia Dealer When you visit your local dealership for brake service twice a year, the technician can keep an eye on the state of your pads. This is the best way to find out how rapidly your pads are wearing down, and when you can expect to need your next set of new pads. Have your pads and entire braking system checked today by experienced professionals at Mike Kelly Kia. We offer the region's drivers terrific vehicles, deals, financing, and customer service, all in one place. Image via Pixabay

The Kia Sportage hybrid is a powerful SUV. In fact, it holds a best-in-class rating for its maximum 227 horsepower. Moreover, this popular option is stopping shoppers in their tracks at the Kia dealer with its exciting infotainment features. It's time to learn more about this high-performing SUV. more Available Trims Kia's hybrid SUV comes in three trim levels. These start off with the base-level LX. The middle-of-the-road option is the EX. The top tier is the SX Prestige. All three trim levels come with the same engine, but the interior and exterior features change quite a bit between them. Performance The Sportage comes with a 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain. It delivers a maximum of 227 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft of torque. The 227 horsepower represents a best-in-class rating for the Sportage hybrid. This hybrid SUV averages 42 miles to the gallon in the city and 44 on the highway. The vehicle also comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and Drive Mode Select. This feature is a mix of four drive modes: normal, smart, sport, and snow. Exterior Features The base level LX comes with LED headlights and tail lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The EX trim level adds on roof rails and heated side view mirrors with LED turn signals. The SX Prestige adds exterior features like a smart power tailgate and fog lights. It also comes with a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade. Interior Features The base-level LX has standard remote keyless entry and available heated front seats. The driver has a 12.2-inch instrument display. The EX comes with a power driver's seat with power lumbar support. The middle-of-the-road trim level also adds a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel. The SX Prestige elevates the driver's seat, adding a memory system. Infotainment Kia added an excellent eight-inch diagonal touchscreen display to the Sportage hybrid. It also comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The EX trim level upgrades this already respectable touchscreen to a 12.3-inch display with navigation and Kia Connect. It also adds a wireless phone charger to the mix. The SX Prestige adds a premium sound system with eight speakers from Harmon Kardon. Advanced Safety Technology A rearview camera comes standard along with Kia Drive Wise Driver Assist, their safety technology package. This includes a long list of features like lane following assist, rear parking sensors, high beam assist, and rear occupant alert.

The Sportage is more than just fuel efficient. This hybrid car is packed with great technology features worth exploring. Visit Mike Kelly Kia now to see our selection of new vehicles. Image via Kia

Your car's headlights are vital for driving safety at night or in other low-visibility situations. Headlight bulbs, like the bulbs in your house, will eventually fail due to age. They can also be damaged by other problems in your car. As your Kia dealer in Butler, PA, we'd like you to know some signs that you need to visit us for new headlights. more Your Bulbs Are Old Headlight bulbs have a limited life, but the exact time for replacement can vary dramatically. There are many types of bulbs available, and a bulb can last from 500 hours to 30,000 hours. Bulbs that are failing will usually look dim, and this is a sign that they'll need replacement fairly soon. Bulbs that start flickering could also be failing, or you could have an electrical problem in your car. Bulbs are installed in pairs, and we recommend replacing both bulbs if one has failed. By doing this, you save the need to return a few days later to replace the second bulb. We can also advise you on different types of bulbs for your Kia. Cracked Lens The bulbs are securely installed in sockets inside the headlight housing. The bulbs and their electrical connections must be protected against dirt, rain, mud, and other contaminants. Each headlight housing has a molded clear plastic lens that securely covers it to keep it watertight. A lens, unfortunately, can be damaged by hard objects like gravel thrown up from the road. A cracked lens can lead to bulb damage, as water will enter through the crack. The water inside the headlight housing will rust the bulb socket, can cause fuses to blow, and also damage the electrical wiring. If water gets in through a lens, you'll see white dots on the inside of the lens. We'll need to test the bulb socket and wiring and replace them if necessary. We'll also clean out any water and fit a new lens for you. Electrical Issues The alternator in your car produces all the electricity for your car. Some of the power it produces is used to power the headlights. As your alternator gets older, it will start to produce less power as its components wear out. Headlights depend on a constant and consistent power supply, and the alternator problem will make the power supply very irregular. As the power supply to the headlights becomes more problematic, the bulbs will be more likely to blow. If you find you have to frequently replace bulbs, your alternator could be the cause of the problem. We'll test your alternator and replace it if it's failing. Call our service department today at Mike Kelly Kia and we'll fix your headlight problem. Image via Pixabay

The Kia Sorento hybrid is the new and improved version of Kia's three-row SUV, offering efficient powertrains without compromising on any of the features that have made the Sorento one of the leading vehicles in its class. Keep reading to learn more about why you should head to a Kia dealership today to see the 2023 Sorento Hybrid. more The Sorento hybrid comes in three different trims: the EX and SX, which make use of regenerative braking to charge the hybrid powertrain's battery, as well as the SX-Prestige, which is a plug-in hybrid model. All three trim levels are the same as their gasoline-powered counterparts in terms of interior features, with the only differences related to the powertrains. All three trims are powered by the same turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder engine. The EX and the SX trims clock in at 227 horsepower, but the SX-Prestige pairs that engine with a stronger electric motor to generate more power at 261 horsepower. What's New and Improved for 2023? For 2023, the EX trim received two new features as standard: a frameless rearview mirror and an 8-way power-adjustable front passenger seat. The SX-level hybrid trim is new for this year and adds leather seating, AWD, a pair of captain's chairs instead of a bench seat for the second row, and rain-sensing windshield wipers, among other things. Features of the Sorento Hybrid to Ask the Kia Dealership About Tons of Cargo Space The Sorento offers tons of cargo space, with 12.6 cubic feet available in the trunk when all three rows of seats are full, and 38.5 and 75.5 cubic feet of space when the third and second-row chairs are folded down, respectively. This means that you can expand and change how your seats are set up depending on how just how much stuff you have to bring with you, and you will always be able to make it work! Strong Warranty Coverage One of the most important things to consider when purchasing a hybrid vehicle is the warranty that covers it, as the more complicated operations of its powertrain mean that repairs can be costly. Fortunately, Kia offers one of the best warranties on the market for its new vehicles, including the Sorento Hybrid. The vehicle itself is covered under a limited warranty that lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, while the powertrain, including hybrid components, is covered for ten years or 100,000 miles. Another anti-perforation warranty covers your vehicle for five years or 100,000 miles, and you are also covered under Kia's roadside assistance plan for five years or 60,000 miles.

Smart Cruise Control Managing your speed on the highway ensures you have ample time to react to changing conditions or the actions of other drivers. Smart cruise control maintains a preset distance from your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you, adjusting your driving speed, so you always have time to react in the event of a sudden stop. 5. Highway Driving Assist Keep safe and avoid the hassle of getting a speeding ticket with the helping hand that the highway driving assist feature provides. On compatible highways, this feature manages your cruising speed based on posted speed limits so that you're always obeying the rules of the road. 6. Auto Emergency Braking Technology When you need an extra line of defense between you and a potentially dangerous accident, auto emergency braking technology from Kia is there to help. This system engages the brakes automatically when a collision is imminent, slowing your speed to reduce the chance of injury to you and those riding with you.
