A properly working electrical system is vital for your Kia, as almost all its components depend on a constant supply of electricity to operate effectively. Any problem with the electrical system can have serious consequences, including an inability to start. Your Kia dealership is familiar with every possible problem, and we have highly-trained technicians to quickly repair any electrical problems for you. These are a few signs that you may need to see us for a repair. more Weak Battery The battery provides the power that's used to start your engine, and it also maintains your car's electrical systems when the engine is switched off. The battery will eventually wear out, and as it does it grows steadily weaker. This gradual failure is due to the breakdown of the natural breakdown of the chemicals that enable the battery to store and supply electricity. A battery has a useful life of approximately three to five years before it starts to degrade. This lifespan can be reduced by environmental and driving factors. A weakening battery will result in starting difficulties as it can't supply enough power to allow the starter motor to crank the engine. We can test your battery by connecting it to our battery tester. If the battery fails the test, we can replace it for you in minutes. Blown Fuses All the electrical systems in your car depend on fuses. The fuses act as a safety measure for the electrical systems and protect them against power surges and other rogue electrical charges. If your electrical system develops a short, the fuses in the path of the rogue current will absorb the charge and blow out. This prevents the charge from damaging the system they're connected to. A blown fuse will prevent the component connected to it from working until the fuse is replaced. If one or more of your electrical systems suddenly stop working, these problems could be caused by blown fuses. Our technicians will examine each fuse and replace any blown ones. We'll also investigate your electrical system to identify and repair the cause of the rogue electrical charge that caused the blown fuses. Worn Alternator The alternator is a mini generator in your car that produces all the electricity for your car's systems. It does this by converting mechanical energy from the movement of the crankshaft into DC for your Kia's systems. An alternator will work effectively for approximately eight years before it starts to wear out. When this happens, the alternator will gradually produce less electricity. Your car's demand for electricity is relatively static, and the reduced electricity supply will cause electrical systems to fail. We'll test your alternator and install a new one if it fails. If you suspect a problem with your electrical system, call our service department at Burns Kia.

Regularly switching your Kia's tires to different positions come with a whole lot of great safety and money-saving benefits. When you get a regular tire rotation at your Kia dealer, your Soul, Sportage, or Telluride will burn less gas, your car will handle better and have more traction, and your tires will last longer. more 1. Keeps You Safe Routinely swapping your car's tires around to your vehicle's specific rotation patterns is vital to ensure your safety. Repositioning your tires will reduce different wear patterns and keep the wear across all the tires uniform. Even tire wear and tread depth on all your tires will increase your car's handling, cornering, and braking performance. It will give you the necessary traction to brake quickly without the fear of losing control of your vehicle, and you won't have to worry so much about your car skidding on wet and slippery roads. 2. Saves You Money It's a fact that tires that wear evenly will last longer. Your car's front and rear tires perform different tasks and don't wear down at the same rate. On front-wheel-drive vehicles, the front tires are used for acceleration, braking, and cornering and wear at a faster rate than the rear tires. Regular rotations will ensure even wear across all four tires and reduce rolling resistance, lowering your gas mileage. When a set of tires wear evenly, they will last longer, and you will not have to replace them as often, saving you a heap of cash. 3. Limits Vibrations and Damage When you don't swap the tires regularly, they don't wear down evenly. Uneven tread wear will cause vibrations you'll feel through your steering wheel, and your car won't handle as well as it should, especially in bad weather conditions. Over time the vibrations will cause damage to components and affect the wheel alignment and balancing. 4. Keeps Your Tires in Great Shape Rotating your tires every time you take your car for an oil change every 7,500 miles or six months includes even more perks. Your Kia technician will switch the tires expertly, perform a thorough tire inspection, measure the tread depth, check the sidewalls for damage such as cuts, cracks, and bubbles, and inflate your tires to the proper pressure levels to ensure even wear and better fuel economy. You will have the peace of mind that your tires are in excellent condition and won't get you stranded on the roadside. For more information and the manufacturer's recommendations on your specific vehicle's rotation patterns and intervals, check your car's owner's manual or ask your Kia technician for assistance. Take advantage of the expert tire services from certified Kia technicians. Swing by Burns Kia today for a rotation to extend the life of your tires and save a ton of money on gas and tires.

Are your Kia headlights looking dim? It may be time for a trip to the dealer for some new ones. Knowing when it's time to replace the headlights on your Kia can be tricky, but there are some signs to look out for. Read on to find out if you should make a trip to the Kia dealer for new headlights. more You Notice Dim or Yellowing Lights If you've noticed that your headlights look dimmer than usual or have a yellow tint, then it's time to have them inspected by a professional. This could signify that your headlights are failing and need to be replaced. Fortunately, replacing headlights on a Kia is easy and can usually be done in a matter of minutes. It is always important to visit your local mechanic to get the correct parts. Your Lights Flicker or Go Out Completely If your headlights start to flicker or go out completely, it could mean that the wiring is faulty or that the bulbs are worn out. Either way, if your lights are flickering, you should have a professional check them out and replace them if necessary. You may need other electrical work on your car's system. There are Cracks or Discoloration on the Headlight Lens If you've noticed cracks or discoloration on your Kia's headlights, you should consider a trip to the dealer for new ones. Cracks and discoloration indicate that the headlight lens no longer provides the protection needed for safe nighttime driving. Discoloration can be caused by age and wear, dirt buildup, and exposure to sunlight. The damage can cause light beams to be distorted, reducing visibility and creating a dangerous driving situation. Frequent Changing of Bulbs Your bulbs will eventually burn out due to wear and tear. However, if you notice that you are changing them too frequently, there is a problem. An electrical issue, moisture, or a corroded socket could be responsible for premature burnouts. Changing your bulbs too often is a headache and an overpriced one too. You can find out about the lifespan of bulbs in the manual. You'll know that it's time for service if it doesn't match what you're experiencing. There Is Only One Working Headlight If you've noticed that one of the headlights has stopped working, it's time to check it out. One of the best ways to tell if you need to replace your headlights is to pay attention to how they look while driving at night. You'll want to ensure that both headlights produce a bright, clear beam. If you're noticing that your Kia's headlights aren't providing the same quality of light as they once did, it may be time to take a trip to the dealership. Faulty or burned-out headlights can be dangerous and could lead to a ticket, so it's best to address the issue as soon as possible. Visit Burns Motors Kia today if you need a headlight replacement.

Your car’s air filter is vital for keeping your engine running smoothly. This small component makes the difference between efficient and inefficient combustion. The filter traps dirt and other debris, which prevents damage to your engine. In time the filter will become clogged, and you'll need a replacement. Your friendly Kia dealer in Orangeburg, SC can install a new one for you. These are signs it's time to change the filter. more Strange Engine Noises Air enters your car through the radiator grille and then passes into the air filter. This filter traps dust, so only clean air enters your engine. This is important, as dirt and debris in the air can damage sensitive engine components. Once the air passes through the filter, it arrives in the intake manifold. Fuel mixes with the air and is then injected into the cylinders so combustion can start. A clogged filter prevents enough air from entering the manifold. Combustion requires a 14:1 ratio of air to fuel. Without air, your engine will become fuel rich. The heady, fuel-filled atmosphere makes combustion more difficult. The lack of air hinders effective compression in the cylinders, and your spark plugs will struggle to fire. This causes strange noises like coughing and slurping to come from your engine. The Filter Is Dirty An air filter is one of your car's components that's easy to check without special tools or skills. The air filter is housed in the filter box behind the radiator grille. Its position is listed in your car's manual. If you want to check the condition of the filter yourself, check its position in the manual and then pop the hood. Once you open the filter box, you'll see the filter nestled inside. A good filter is white or cream. As it fills up with dirt, the filter's color will change. If you have a brown or black filter, your engine is suffering. Call our service department, and one of our Kia-trained technicians will replace the filter for you. A new, clean filter will dramatically increase your engine performance. Strong Fuel Smell As we saw above, your engine requires far more air than fuel for combustion. Combustion will become very inefficient when the filter is blocked and your engine doesn't have enough air. The spark plugs can't easily ignite in a fuel-rich environment, which means much of the fuel that enters the manifold won't burn. The high fuel concentration in the manifold allows some of the vapors to leak out. This is the strong fuel smell that will waft through your car window. A new filter provides numerous benefits for your car. Call us at Burns Kia today to schedule a service check-in. Image courtesy of JarkkoManty via Pixabay

The alternator is a vital part of your Kia's electrical charging system. It's responsible for producing the electricity your car's systems need. It starts working when you start your engine and only stops when your engine is switched off. In time, like any other mechanical system, your alternator can get damaged. If this happens, your local Kia dealer can likely perform an alternator repair. These are a few signs that your alternator needs repair. more Grinding Noises A grinding or whining noise from your engine can be caused by several different problems. If you're experiencing electrical problems, however, the most likely suspect is a damaged alternator. These particular sounds are usually caused by damaged alternator bearings. Your alternator has four bearings that allow it to move and generate power. The bearings have to be greased to allow them to work effectively. This grease slowly dries out and needs to be replaced during your scheduled car service. If the bearings are dry, this can cause friction and damage. The good news is that our technicians can replace your bearings with new ones. This will prevent the noise and allow your alternator a longer life. Burning Wiring The wiring in your car transmits the electricity from the alternator to all your car's components and devices. The alternator also has wiring inside it. A car's engine is a very hostile environment for wiring, as it's hot and subject to movement and damage. Wiring is delicate, and it's protected against these conditions by thick rubber and plastic coverings. We routinely check your wiring during your regular service schedule. If the wiring isn't checked, it can get damaged or broken. Broken wires can lead to a fire, as the alternator will continue to supply power through the broken wire. If the wires get hot enough, they can cause the rubber and plastic insulation to burn. Our technicians will find and replace the damaged wiring. Battery Warning Light The battery warning light lights up as a sign that there's a problem with your car's electrical system. The problem could be caused by the alternator, the battery, or even damaged wiring. The various components of your electrical system have sensors attached to them. These sensors monitor their attached component and send information back to your computer. The sensors also detect problems with a component and report this to your computer. For example, a worn alternator can cause the battery light to come on if its voltage output drops below 12.5 volts. This is a sign that the alternator can't properly supply your car's electrical requirements. A worn alternator will need to be replaced. If you see or suspect an alternator problem, call our service department at Burns Kia for an appointment today. Image courtesy of Devolk via Pixabay

Your local Kia dealer can assist you. Here are some pointers to keep your Kia in top condition for years. more 1. Stay on Top of Your Service Schedule The first step in maintaining your vehicle is sticking to your vehicle's specified service schedule. Different vehicle models have varying recommendations, and the services you need can also vary based on how and where you drive. Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. You should consult your owner's manual if you are unsure of the services you might require or when you might need them. Your owner's manual is a valuable resource that can assist you with various vehicle maintenance topics. Be sure to take advantage of it whenever possible. Finally, if you have any questions about your service schedule, we would be happy to answer them. 2. Visually Inspect Your Vehicle Regularly Visually inspect your vehicle regularly for any signs of concern. It can save you a lot of trouble on the road.

Check your headlights, taillights, and mirrors to ensure they are not damaged, and ensure that your windshield stays clean and free of debris. When you get into your vehicle, make sure you don't have any service lights on, and if you notice any strange sounds or behaviors, get your car a proper inspection. 3. Assemble a Basic Car Care and Emergency Kit You can assemble an inexpensive basic car care kit to help you keep your vehicle clean and in good condition between service appointments. Include microfiber towels, gloves, a bucket, trash bags, and your preferred cleaning products. You should also have an emergency kit and a spare tire in your vehicle.

How do you know when it's time for a transmission repair on your Kia? It can be difficult to tell, but there are a few key signs to look out for. One of the most obvious is if your car is hesitating or jerking when you try to accelerate. If you're noticing the symptoms discussed below, or others like them, it's best to bring your vehicle in to a Kia dealer as soon as possible for a diagnosis. more 1. Your Car Is Jerking or Vibrating When You Drive If you're driving along and suddenly your car starts to jerk or vibrate, it's likely that you have a problem with your transmission. The transmission is responsible for transferring the power from the engine to the wheels, and if it's not working properly, it can cause all sorts of problems. In some cases, the transmission may need to be completely replaced. However, in other cases, a simple repair may be all that's needed. 2. You Hear a Strange Noise When the Engine Is Running There are a few different types of noises that can indicate a problem with the transmission. One is a grinding noise that happens when the gears are not meshing properly. This can be caused by wear and tear on the gears, or by a build-up of debris. Another type of noise is a whining sound that is caused by a fluid leak. This can happen if there is a hole in the transmission casing or if the seals are beginning to fail. Lastly, a thumping noise can indicate an issue with the torque converter. If this component is damaged, it can cause vibrations that are felt throughout the car. 3. The Gears Are Slipping or Not Changing Properly This happens when the transmission fluid is low or dirty, or when there's a problem with the clutches or gears. When the fluid is low, it can't lubricate the gears properly, causing them hard to shift. Dirty fluid can also cause the clutches to slip, and it can make the gears harder to turn. If there's a problem with the clutches, they may not engage properly, which can cause the gears to slip. And if there's a problem with the gears, they may not mesh together properly, which can cause them to slip or not change properly. If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's time to bring your car in for repair. Contact us today at Burns Motors Kia to schedule a service appointment and get your car back on the road. We'll take care of everything from diagnostics to repairs so you can rest assured that your car is in good hands. image courtesy of pexels.com

To keep your engine performing at its best, you must change the oil regularly. Oil lubricates the moving parts, reduces friction that causes wear, and extends the life of your engine. Drop by your Kia dealer today for a professional Kia oil change performed by qualified Kia technicians to keep your engine clean and protected and your Kia Sportage, Stinger, or Carnival on the road for longer. more The Importance of Oil Changes The oil in your vehicle lubricates the moving parts and keeps your engine clean and protected. Over time the oil starts to break down and loses its protective qualities. That is why changing the oil at the factory-recommended intervals is so important. Oil Change Intervals Every Kia model has a service schedule with factor-recommended oil change intervals to keep your engine running smoothly. The general oil change recommendation is every 3,000 miles or three months, depending on various factors, including your model, engine type, mileage, the conditions under which you operate your vehicle, and the type of oil you use. Check your owner's manual for the factory-recommended oil change intervals for your specific model, or ask one of our helpful Kia technicians for assistance. The Best Type of Oil For Your Kia Choosing the right oil for your Kia is just as important as changing the oil regularly. Oil types differ between Kia models, so it's best to check your owner's manual for the correct type and grade of oil for your specific model. A Kia technician will also help you with information on the best oil for your vehicle.

The most important safety feature in your Kia is the brakes. But over time, even the most durable braking mechanisms can begin to wear down. If you ever notice any of the following five indicators of trouble, it's time to visit your local Kia dealer for prompt brake repair. more Brake Pads Squealing Every time you press the brake pedal, the brake pads clamp onto the rotor discs, slowing your vehicle. But each time pads clamp the rotors, all the enormous friction and heat created shears away a little more of the brake pad's upper friction layer. Almost all brake pads are designed to emit a noticeable squeaking or squealing sound when this upper friction layer wears down to dangerous levels. So if you start hearing a high-pitched sound whenever you brake, it's probably time for new brake pads. Brake Pedal Vibrating Rotor discs can occasionally become warped, scored, or otherwise damaged. When this happens, you'll start to feel strange vibrations through your foot on the brake pedal, and sometimes through the steering wheel as well. You'll need to have the damaged rotor resurfaced, which makes the rotor smooth and effective again. Rotor discs damaged or warped too severely will need to be replaced. Brake Pedal Failing The most common cause of rotors getting damaged is overheating from overuse. When rotors start to overheat, not only can they become damaged, but they can also lose friction. With diminished friction between pads and rotor, your brakes will start to feel sluggish and ineffective. If your brakes ever begin to feel sluggish, it's best to pull over and allow your brakes to cool. When you start driving again, if the problem persists, have a technician take a look. Overheating most often occurs in heavy stop-and-go traffic, on steep hilly roads, and when carrying heavy loads or towing a trailer. Brake Fluid Leaking If you ever find a yellow or brown liquid pooling under your parked car, then your brake fluid might be leaking. This fluid is very important as it keeps the hydraulic pressure of your brake lines high. If brake fluid leaks, hydraulic pressure is lost, and your foot on the pedal will no longer be activating the brakes as well. For this reason, it's unwise to drive with a brake fluid leak. If the leak can't be repaired on the spot, your car will need to be towed to the nearest mechanic. Brake Light Blinking Your Kia has a brake warning light on the instrument panel. This light will turn on whenever your emergency brake is on, and also when the car's in-built sensors detect a problem with the brakes. So if you see this light come on, provided that your emergency brake is off, pay heed and have a trusted technician take a look right away. Have experienced professionals inspect and repair your brakes today at Burns Motors Kia. We're a locally trusted dealership that serves Orangeburg and the surrounding area with consistently outstanding vehicles and customer service, whatever your needs might be. image courtesy of pexels.com

If your Kia Sorento, Seltos, or Soul is making strange noises, you see puddles under your car or smell awful odors, don't think the problem will disappear on its own. It will only get worse and cost you a heap of money to fix. The signs below will warn you when to visit your Kia repair shop ASAP for much-needed Kia repairs. more 1. A Dashboard Warning Light Is On When a warning light on your dashboard is on, it's a reason for concern. When the check engine, oil, temperature, charging system, or brake light is illuminated, your car has a problem that needs urgent attention. Get your Kia to your repair shop as quickly as possible to avoid further damage and high repair costs. 2. It's Hard To Start Your Car If your car stalls when idling or when you step on the accelerator, it could be fouled spark plugs or a clogged fuel filter causing the problem. When it's hard to start your car, your battery could be weak or failing, or there is an issue with your alternator. Your Kia technician will quickly find the problem and repair it expertly. 3. You See Puddles Under Your Car Your car needs various fluids to cool down and lubricate the components. If you see puddles on the ground under your vehicle, it's a sign that fluid is leaking out. The fluid color will help you identify what type of fluid it is. Light brown or black fluid is engine oil. Red or brown fluid is transmission fluid, and red is power steering fluid. If the puddles are green, orange, or pink, your car is leaking coolant. 4. You Hear Strange Noises Many parts will make awful noises when they malfunction or break, and when you suddenly hear unfamiliar noises, something is not working correctly. A failing transmission will make grinding, humming, and buzzing noises, and a damaged exhaust will rattle. High-pitched squealing sounds could come from worn brake pads, and if you hear screeching from under the hood, your belt is loose or worn. Clunking noises come from shock absorbers, and humming from under your car means the wheel bearings or universal joints are worn. Get rid of the guesswork and ask your Kia technician to take a look. 5. You Smell Awful Odors Odors that you can smell inside the cabin indicate that your car needs a service. If your gas cap is faulty or the fuel tank has a leak, you will smell gas. An awful rotten egg smell could be from worn or damaged fuel filters, and an electric burning smell comes from overheated wires or burned-out fuses. If you smell exhaust fumes, your car could have a leak in the exhaust system. Visit your repair shop to avoid further issues and costly repairs. 6. You See Smoke From Under the Hood If you see blue smoke billowing out from under the hood of your car, it could be from an oil leak caused by damaged or worn seals. If the smoke is white, your car's engine is overheating. It's best to pull over, wait for your vehicle to cool down, and phone your repair shop for assistance. Don't ignore the signs mentioned above to avoid spending loads of cash on repairs and replacements. If your car is not running at its best, visit Burns Kia today, and our skilled and experienced technicians will make your car troubles a thing of the past. image courtesy of pexels.com

Significantly more affordable than the competition, this mid-sized sedan features an aggressive and muscular fastback design to go with its explosive power and exceptional handling. Here's your introduction to the all-new 2022 Kia Stinger! Basics About the 2022 Kia Stinger more Turbocharged Performance Kia's Stinger offers two powerful turbo engines. A 2.5L inline-four powerplant comes standard and puts out an impressive 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Even more power is on tap when buyers select the 3.3L V6, which ups those numbers to 368 horsepower and 376 lb-ft.

Bold Interior Design Athletic handling is well matched by a stylish and premium cabin when you step into the Stinger. Sleek lines and high-quality materials permeate the cabin and add to the sporty nature of the sedan. The seats are meant to enhance the driving experience and feature deep bolstering and contouring to support the driver in all the right places. Heated front seating is standard and there's available 16-way power adjustment. Passengers in the rear will enjoy class-leading legroom and headroom and dual-zone automatic climate control with air filtering.
