Embarking on the journey from academia to the professional world is an exciting transition, and Kia Motors America, Inc. (KMA)* is here to make it even more seamless for recent graduates. With a commitment to supporting the next generation, KMA is offering a $400 discount incentive, in addition to select other incentives, to facilitate the purchase of a new Kia vehicle. However, not all incentive programs are compatible, and details can be obtained by consulting with a dealer. To qualify, eligible customers must have graduated within the last twelve months from an accredited four-year college or university, nursing school, two-year college, or graduate degree program in the United States. Graduates must be 18 years or older and residents of the fifty United States or the District of Columbia. This program extends its reach even further by offering the same benefits to parents of children who have participated in the BRAKES program within the past 12 months, requiring a certificate of completion as proof of eligibility. As KMA opens doors for recent graduates and their families, this initiative paves the way for a smooth transition into the next chapter of their lives.

Keep You Kia Cool This Summer With These Tips From Destination Kia Of Utica | Yorkville, NY
We all know what it’s like to get into your car on a hot summer day and have the seat scorch your butt or the white-hot seat belt buckle feel like a brand! Let Destination Kia of Utica keep your car cool as a cucumber with our compiled tips below! But really the best way to battle high summer temperatures is to blast your vehicle AC! Make sure your vehicle can beat the heat by having your Air Conditioning System serviced at our Kia Service Center! Schedule your service appointment today and enjoy every ride this summer!
Destination Kia Of Utica’s Tips To Keep Your Ride Cool:
Use a sunshade or window visor.
- This is a great go-to method for drivers who are hoping to counteract the hot interior temperatures throughout the summer season. We recommend placing your sunshade or window visor each time you exit your vehicle for more than a few minutes. If you’re looking for a pro tip, put a sunshade on your rear windshield as well!
Use a dash cover.
- Using a dash cover can make a big difference in making your vehicle’s interior more comfortable during hot temperatures. Dash covers will help you from touching hot vinyl surfaces and will also protect sensitive vinyl from any sun damage which can cause cracking and fading.
Cover your steering wheel with a hand towel.
- Even when you use a sunshade, your steering wheel can still get very hot. Our recommendation is to place a small towel over your steering wheel. This will help keep your hands from burning when in contact with the steering wheel.
Park in a shady area.
- When and if possible, park in shady areas. And if you’re going to be outside of your vehicle for an extended period of time, it’s worth a farther walk if you are able to park in the shade. You’ll be much happier that you parked farther away in the shade after your day out!
Keep your possessions out of the sun.
- Keep any and all possessions, delicate or not, out of direct sunlight. Try storing your items underneath your seat or in a glove box. You can also throw a blanket over your possessions for extra measures. If you can’t find a place in your car that will conceal heat-sensitive goods, consider placing them in the trunk.

Destination Kia of Utica’s Tips For Traveling With Kids:
Always pack light.
- While packing for children might seem like you need a lot of gear, only take the necessities. This will help keep clutter to a minimum and you won’t be stressed trying to manage a bunch of different bags when you’re packing and unpacking.
Keep snacks on deck.
- Like you, your children will get hungry during the trip, always keep snacks ready and accessible when needed. It’s also important to keep everyone hydrated but don’t overdo it. This will lead to a lot of unnecessary pit stops.
Keep the car ride simple.
- Pack games or coloring books to keep the kiddos entertained for the car ride. This will help keep you from going crazy when they ask ‘are we there yet’ for the millionth time! If your vehicle has entertainment systems, be sure to use them!
Take kid-friendly pit stops when on the road.
- Kids usually get a lot of built-up energy when in the car. So make enough stops to wear off that energy and places your kids can stay calm without stressful, rushed situations.
Research your destination.
- While you might not think this is important, it is. You’ll want to know if the places you’re planning to visit are kid-friendly and fun. Also, will you be needing a car seat or stroller? It’s important to know these things ahead of time.
Always leave extra time.
- This might be the best tip we have to give. Always always always give yourself extra time in case things go awry and you need to handle a stressful situation.
