Why You Should Wax Your Kia

There are many benefits to applying wax to your car. From filling in imperfections of the paint to making the surface more hydrophobic in order to repel water and dirt, a layer of wax can keep any vehicle looking its best. Applying wax to your car three times a year can be sufficient for ensuring the surface is protected. The wax layer can prevent dirt from adhering to the surface, reducing the number of times you have to wash your car. With this protective layer, you might be able to clean your car with a non-contact wash since the water will more easily pull dirt off. At Century 3 Kia, we'll help you select the right wax for your car. We can explain how to apply it and answer any of your question so that you can take pride in the appearance of your vehicle.   Car Wax Detailing Car Wash Car Repair Auto Service

Tips for Detailing Your Vehicle

If the interior of the car you drive around West Mifflin, PA is starting to look dirty, Century 3 Kia can help. We're highly experienced with detailing techniques that will get everything looking like new. If you have a pet, there's probably a fair bit of pet hair that has accumulated in your car. Using a brush attached to your vacuum's hose can help loosen this hair so that it can get vacuumed up. If this isn't enough, a pumice block is highly effective at gathering pet hair. Take care when using the pumice block because it can cause damage to plastic and other surfaces. To get dirt off of the hard plastic and vinyl parts of your vehicle, use an all-purpose cleaner paired with a clean microfiber cloth. To get into the area between the front seats and the console, attach a towel to a spoke brush. Service Center Service Car Detailing Tips

Don't Drive on Your Winter Tires this Summer

We at Century 3 Kia applaud you for driving on the right tires for West Mifflin, PA's winters. Still, our service techs have noticed some of you using winter tires throughout the year. We advise against that tactic. While we all appreciate saving a buck, driving on winter tires all year will likely cost you more money in the long run. Though switching between two sets of tires based upon the time of year sounds expensive, buying and using only winter tires adds up faster. It also makes your car less nimble much of the year. Winter tires perform stunningly in winter conditions. They employ rubber compounds that grip better in cold weather to aid acceleration and deceleration on snow and ice. Also, they have winter-tailored tread characteristics. Those same compounds and characteristics cause winter tires to handle inconsistently on warm, dry pavement. Additionally, your winter tires will wear faster in summer than winter. Make them last. Switch them seasonally. Service Center Service Winter Tires Tire Service New Tires

Keeping Your Camper on the Road

When you're pulling a camper with your vehicle, you might notice some wear and tear on your tires. Helper springs can be installed so that the camper is sitting level while on the road in West Mifflin, PA. Airbags are an option as well as they can provide a comfortable ride for your vehicle and the camper. To keep gas consumption to a minimum, install a cold air intake. The air will flow a bit easier to your motor, keeping the air cooler so that the motor in your vehicle doesn't overheat while you're towing. Century 3 Kia can install this feature before you get on the road. One of the things that you should look at controlling is the sway associated with your camper. A sway bar can decrease this impact so that your camper and vehicle are safe on the road. You should also ensure that all of the tires on your camper are inflated as this can help in decreasing swaying. Service Center Service Towing a Camper
