Is Your Battery Fully Juiced?

Battery
Winter puts more stress on your battery, particularly if you park your car outdoors.

Avoid the sinking feeling of hearing nothing when you hit the ignition with a proactive check of your battery and charging system now. Repair shops don't usually charge very much to load-test your battery, and some car-parts stores will do it for free.

If you find out your battery's going south, you can replace it at your convenience, instead of being at the mercy of whomever your dead car's been towed to.

Thank you for these two great reviews!

Yelp
"I just want to let EVERYONE know what a pleasure it is to do buiness with KIA of Canton.  We have been customers since they first opened - through all ownership changes.  What doesn't change is their dedication to their customers.  Sales staff, cashiers, management and service.  We have had 3 KIA's now and our daughter also owns one.  The reason we continue to buy and have ALL of our service done here is due to the personal attention we get as well as the service.  The people are what have made this business work.  Brian Woods always goes out of his way to make sure we are taken care of, as do all of the staff members.  We feel like part of a family,.  Their rewards program has provided us with many free oil changes!  We will continue to purchase our KIA vehicles here as well as continue to have our service done and have no problem recommending anyone to this dealership.  Thank you from our family and continued success.  Keep up the good work!" -Laurie B.

Consumer Guide Names 2013 Kia Sorento to Coveted “Best Buy” List

2
Kia Motors America (KMA), one of the fastest-growing car companies in the U.S.[2], has been honored by having its best-selling CUV, the U.S.-built Sorento, named to Consumer Guide’s® annual “Best Buy” list.  Consumer Guide® makes its selections by evaluating vehicles on all aspects of a consumer’s real-world driving and ownership experience.  The Sorento was selected for having a number of outstanding key attributes in the Midsize SUV category.

“Sorento earns our respect for its excellent ride and handling balance, upscale features and reasonable price,” said Tom Appel, publisher of Consumer Guide®.  “The available third-row seating and great warranty coverage are added bonuses.”

This year, a more focused evaluation process from the Consumer Guide® editorial team required vehicles to meet higher criteria in order to be recognized.  The result was a shorter and more prestigious “Best Buy” list than in previous years.  “We’re honored that Consumers Guide® has named one of our top-selling models as a ‘Best Buy,” said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing & communications, KMA.  “The Sorento is a cornerstone for the Kia brand and is a flagship among family vehicles, offering world-class sophistication, value, safety and comfort.  Furthermore, we’re proud that this exceptional CUV is built right here in the U.S.” 

Each year, Consumer Guide’s® staff drives nearly 200,000 miles to properly evaluate the pros and cons of vehicles in multiple categories.  The vehicles are test-driven in the city, on highways, in rural areas and put to virtually all aspects of everyday driving to give consumers a total picture of how each model performs.
