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.

King Kia of Laurel’s Top 5 Car Movies:
- Cars (2006)- This one may be a bit on the nose, but who doesn’t love a heartfelt movie about a hotshot race car learning what it means to live in a close knit community?
- Furious 7 (2015)- Any Fast and Furious movie is going to give you an awesome action packed car chase scene, but our personal favorite from the franchise is Furious 7 because of it’s incredible all-star cast and fresh new storyline.
- Baby Driver (2017)- This fun, fast paced movie revolving around a young, talented getaway driver has some really incredible vehicular stunt work and a great soundtrack to boot!
- Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)- This reboot of the Mad Max series has some seriously sick post apocalyptic car chase scenes with title character Max strapped to the front of the vehicle like a horrifying hood ornament.
- Transformers (2007)- Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, and cars that turn into giant robots; need we say more?

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.

Summer is here folks! And that means long drives, vacation travel, and fun nights out on the town! So, the King Kia of Laurel team is sure many members of our community have been doing more driving in the dark. That means that the health of your vehicle’s headlights it’s more important than ever! That’s why we have compiled a DIY guide to changing your own headlights so that drivers can avoid dangerous situations while out and about this June! Check out that guide below and if it seems like a bit more than you think you can handle, feel free to schedule a service appointment at our Kia Service Center today!
King Kia of Laurel’s Guide To Replacing A Headlight:
- Pop open your hood and use the provided prop stand or another sturdy object to keep it open.
- Remove the power connector from the back of the headlight. This may require a slight turn or jiggle to get it loose.
- Remove the dust cover from the back of the headlight. This also may require a small twist to get loose.
- Some cars have a clip that holds the bulb in place. Press down on this clip to release the light bulb.
- Grasp the housing of the bulb and pull it out. This step may require a little wiggling to get it loose. Do not pull the bulb by the glass or tug the bulb roughly. This could cause it to break and may result in injury.
- Holding the old bulb and new bulbs by their housings, compare to make sure they match.
- To guarantee your bulb is free of dust and fingerprints, gently wipe it with a pre-moistened alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol on a dust-free cloth.
- Line up the bulb housing with the open socket and insert carefully. Make sure it’s secure.
- Slide the bulb back in place and twist if necessary to make sure it’s locked into its spot.
- Replace the clip (if you have one), dust cover, and power connector.
- Turn on your headlights to ensure the bulb and connection are working.
- Close the hood and give yourself a round of applause!
