So what exactly is the difference between four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive? Why would I want one as opposed the other? When selecting a vehicle, especially or the first time, you become face first with a decision that will impact you for years, possibly decades to come. This is why we here at South Hills Kia in want to make sure that our customers have all the information they need going into this decision.

There are many things that we do to make sure that our vehicles are maintained and tuned up so that they run well and have minimal issues. We can also avoid issues by just keeping the gas tank full. It may seem like a small matter, but if you let your gas level get low, you will have more air in your tank. More air means more condensation, which can freeze in the cold winter temperatures. If that happens your fuel lines can freeze preventing gas from reaching the engine, and your car will not start.

A road trip can be fun and exciting if you are fully prepared for the long journey and prepared for all that can happen along the way. If you spend enough time planning and getting ready for your trip in the not-so-distant future, you should be able to make the absolute most of all the time that you spend driving on the roads.

As you might imagine, bald tires are accidents waiting to happen. If you replace tires before the tread disappearing, you keep roadways, drivers, everyone else on the road safer.

A bald tire is one considered having 2/32 inches of tread left or less. This doesn’t seem like much, but it’s only one-fifth of the initial average of 10/32 inches of tread. As such, you might run through a tire’s available tread quickly, as there’s not much, to begin with.

Getting a new car should be a pleasurable experience. If you're like most modern consumers, you've probably already done a bit of homework. While it's always smart to research all your options for a new vehicle, it's also a great idea to obtain a pre-approval for vehicle financing ahead of time as well. If this sounds like you, we've got some great news. Now you can obtain pre-approval by completing a financing application online with South Hills Kia.
