If you are in a car accident, it is important that you stop and render aid. You can do this by calling the police or asking another person to do so on your behalf. It is a good idea to check to see that you are unharmed before exiting your vehicle.

We believe in educating drivers like you at Sale Kia. After all, informed drivers become good drivers. Today, let's explore how to replace a flat tire.

Often times, a bicyclist will become distracted or simply make a wrong move in the path of your vehicle. Still, by providing them with the courtesy and benefit of the doubt, you're not only being gracious, but you might also save their life!

At Sale Kia, we want our customers to be informed drivers who know how to take care of their cars, including how to control pet hair.

Mice and rats are certainly unwelcomed in your home, but they can also do a lot of damage if they find their way into your garage and under the hood of your car.

One thing that is important to understand when it comes to driving is that our instincts are not going to be correct when it comes to circumstances such as skids. Front-wheel skids and rear-wheel skids can cause us to react in ways that can actually make the skid worse instead of better.

When we get into a skid, it might be tempting to turn the car in the opposite direction. We may also stare at what we are about to hit when it comes to the skid. As a result, the skid we get into can cause us problems we…
