There are a couple of places to turn for your next used vehicle. One option is to seek out a private seller, perhaps from a classified ad or online listing. The alternative is to browse the used inventory at a reputable dealership.

Either option can result in a great purchase, but shopping at a dealership is the better approach. There are a few major reasons for that worth checking out.

Why Buy from a Dealership?

1) Dealerships have vast inventory

You may have a specific make and model in mind initially, but being able to compare and contrast different vehicles at a dealership is always a plus, to say nothing of checking out different color options and trims. Shopping at a dealership is really the only way to gain access to a large inventory.

2) You can check a dealership’s reputation

Something else to keep in mind: You won’t have any way to check the integrity or trustworthiness of a private seller in advance. By contrast, you can always size up a dealership’s reputation by checking Google reviews, verifying their BBB accreditation, and so forth.

3) Dealerships offer a number of services and amenities

Sometimes when you’re shopping for a car you may need financing options flexible enough to fit your budget and lifestyle. Or, you may need access to a world-class service center. Private sellers can’t offer these additional services.

4) Shopping at a dealership means CPO options

Dealerships also often provide certified pre-owned vehicles, which are gently used, low-mileage cars that have been thoroughly vetted for quality. These cars often come with extended warranties and additional guarantees.

The battery is a key player in your car functioning properly. Beyond the initial ignition, the battery is responsible for the electrical systems in your vehicle. Not sure if your car battery needs replacing? Here are some factors that can affect your battery life. Our service team at Car Pros Kia Huntington Beach is dedicated to serving the communities near Santa Ana, Irvine, and Newport Beach with their service needs- ensuring that their vehicles are safe and secure.

Typically a car battery's average life span is around 6 years. Like most things, this depends on how well you take care of it. Several things can affect your battery life. Commonly, multiple recharge cycles can shorten a battery's life, and using electronics in the car while the engine is off can lead to a dead battery. Once the engine is off, and the electronics are still running, the electronics draw directly from the battery. Remember always to turn the headlights and interior lights off when you're done driving to avoid draining the battery. In addition to interior electronics, leaving electronics like GPS or cell phones plugged into a charger can also affect the car's battery.

Weather can also have an affect on your car battery. Hot and cold weather can affect the liquid electrolyte solution that helps a battery hold a charge. Although it takes incredibly low temperatures to freeze a battery completely, a cold battery doesn't transfer power as well, which is why it's sometimes difficult to start a car in the wintertime. Hot weather has the opposite effect and can cause the liquid electrolyte solution to evaporate, limiting the battery's ability to hold a charge. Commonly this evaporation comes with a rotten egg smell, which comes from the sulfur in the solution. 

No matter how well you take care of your battery, it will eventually die. Failing batteries usually display warning signs to tell you it's on its way out, such as: 

• Rotten egg smell

• Slow engine turnover

• Battery light indicator

• Loss of power to vehicle electronics

It is best to consult your vehicle's manual for manufacturer recommendations, but we don't want service to be neglected for too long after the first warning signs.

Fall is here and as the weather cools, it’s a fantastic time to ensure your vehicle’s tires are ready to take on your holiday travel plans. At the local service center near you, the Car Pros Kia Huntington Beach team is here for your tire needs! That’s why we want to let you know how to check out the condition of your tires for yourself. Find out more about some common tire service needs and how we can help. 

Evaluate Tire Tread Depth and Tread Wear Patterns

Begin by taking a look at your tire tread. Most tires have a tread wear indicator. If your tire tread is even with the rubber wear indicator, it is time to replace your tires. For tires without a tread wear indicator, another method of checking your tread depth is the penny test. Place a penny into the groove of your tire tread headfirst. If the head of the penny is partially obscured, your tire tread is still at an acceptable depth. If you can see the entirety of the head on the penny, it’s time to consider replacing your tires. 

While evaluating your tire tread depth, another element to consider is the wear pattern on your tires. If it appears that the on your tires are not wearing away evenly on the individual tires or wearing unevenly between two or more tires, this could indicate an issue with the alignment of your vehicle. Having your alignment evaluated is an important step to extending the life of your tires. Well-maintained tire treads help your vehicle better grip the road and handle optimally in inclimate weather.  

Check Tire Pressure

As the temperature cools, this change in weather can result in your car’s tire pressure dropping. If you notice your tire pressure light has illuminated in your vehicle or you notice a tire looking lower than your other tires, it is a good idea to check your tire pressure and add air as needed. To locate the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle’s tires, consult your owner’s manual or tire sidewall. 

Visually Inspect Tires for Damage

Ensure there are no punctures, foreign objects, or signs of bulging in your tire wall. If you notice any of these issues with your tires, you may need tire repair or replacement.
