So, make sure you keep your dog on their leash unless you're in a leashless allowed area with an identification tag that has your phone number on it just in case! Food, water, bowls: Pups need to stay hydrated too! Especially if you’re both going out to do lots of activities! Doggy baggies: Bring waste disposable bags and be responsible for your pets “droppings”. Crates and restraints: Even if your dog is usually a happy traveler, it isn’t safe for them to roam freely throughout the car, in the case of an accident. Toys!!!: Always bring along a ball or tug of war toy to really get out all that extra energy your pup may have so that they’ll be ready to crash and relax later!

Things are really starting to heat up this Spring/Summer season, but we want to make sure one of those things isn’t your vehicle's interior! So, for this week's blog, the King Kia of Laurel team has compiled a list of our top 5 ways to cool down your car so that you can have fun in the sun without worry! Now our tips can only do so much. It’s really your Kia’s Air Conditioning system that allows you to drive on open roads despite those hot summer days! Don’t wait until temperatures are soaring to get your air conditioning checked! Schedule your service appointment at the King Kia of Laurel Service Center today and let us keep you cruising in your cool ride! King Kia Of Laurel’s 5 Ways To Cool Down Your Ride: Park in a garage, if/when possible. If it’s possible, park your vehicle in a garage. This will keep your vehicle out of direct sunlight and you will benefit from the near-constant shade. Even a warm garage beats a vehicle parked where it’ll be baking in the sun. Keep your windows cracked. While it’s not a good idea to leave your windows all the way open, we recommend leaving your windows slightly cracked when you exit and temperatures are high. Even a crack will promote ventilation and can help keep your vehicle cool. Invest in a solar-powered fan. Paired with cracked windows, a solar-powered fan can make your car feel cooler even on the hottest of summer days. These fans work to remove hot air from your car by creating constant air circulation, these fans lower your car’s overall temperature. Place blankets/towels/covers over your seats. If your vehicle has either leather or vinyl seating, you know just how hot these materials can get when exposed to sunlight and/ or increased temperatures. In order to keep your seats cool. Try placing a blanket or towel over them when you exit your vehicle. When you return, remove the blanket or towel. This will keep you from burning your legs on the hot seats. Leave your doors open before getting in. Before hopping into your vehicle, consider leaving your doors open for a few moments to allow the hot air to exit the vehicle. This can help regulate the temperature before you enter and take off to your next adventure.

Whether you need a vehicle for you or someone you love, we have plenty of brand new Kia models waiting for you right here at King Kia of Laurel. But before signing on the dotted line, check out our list of a few important questions you’ll want to ask when purchasing a car. Then, come see our team at 14921 Baltimore Ave, Laurel, MD 20707, when you’re ready to upgrade your ride! Take a look at our available inventory using our convenient online portal! King Kia Of Laurel’s List Of Questions To Ask When Buying A New Kia! Are there any additional fees? We hope it isn’t a shock but when buying a new car, you’ll be paying for more than just the car itself. It’s a good idea to ask what fees you are going to pay and how much they will be. This will cut down on confusion when it’s time for you to sign and drive off the lot with your new Kia. What other amenities does the vehicle come with? Cars these days come with many gadgets and gizmos and you will want to know what they are before driving off or signing. Why? Well, if the vehicle you’re considering has features that you may not use or want - you probably don’t want to pay for them. Also, on the flip side, if you’re looking for specific features, you’ll want to ask and make sure your new vehicle is equipped with them. Will you hold the vehicle while I make a decision? Of course, we will but we like to put this on here to ensure that you ask and don’t lose out on a great new vehicle that you’ve fallen in love with. We encourage our customers to take the time they need, buying a new vehicle is a big investment and we want you to be sure this is the right option for you! How long is the warranty and what does it cover? Your vehicle is an investment and you will need to take care of that investment. Be sure to ask what type of warranty your vehicle comes with and how long it will last. These warranties will help keep some cash in your wallet when it comes to repairs and maintenance.

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the optimal performance of your vehicle and prevent expensive repairs in the future. At King Kia of Laurel, we are thrilled to announce our July special offer, allowing you to access our exceptional vehicle services at a discounted price.
