Fairfax Kia's Tuesday Maintenance Tip:

Is your car stinky?

Room fresheners often just mask a smell.

-Be sure to use the industrial strength odor eliminators purchased from a home or auto-supply store so they can chemically neutralize the odor and remove it.  -Try leaving an open container of baking soda in a smelly car. Sprinkle it on the carpet and under the floor mats, then vacuum up what shows, and where it doesn’t show, leave it.

-An open bag of coffee beans left in the car overnight can also act like a scent filter. Photo: Fairfax Kia's Tuesday Maintenance Tip: Is your car stinky? Room fresheners often just mask a smell.

I had a wonderful experience at this dealership. In fact, one of the best I have had at a dealership. It was very simple to drop my car off, get a shuttle ride back to work and then pick it back up for an oil change. The service rep even remembered I had taken a shuttle ride and offered one back, which I didn't need. The oil change was done in less than an hour (which is unheard of) and they called promptly with no issues. Great experience. Looking forward to future oil changes if they're all like this.

Kia Racing Takes 2nd at Inaugural Circuit of the Americas Pirelli World Challenge Event

Mark Wilkins pilots No. 38 turbocharged Optima to Kia’s first podium finish of 2013 season and moves to third place in Driver championship



Like a bull rider in a Texas rodeo, Mark Wilkins grabbed the reins of his No. 38 turbocharged Optima and rode it to a well-deserved and hard-fought second-place finish Sunday in Round Five of the Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) at the world-renowned Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas.  The relentless Texas heat wreaked havoc on drivers and tires alike, but Wilkins managed the race well from the driver’s seat and held off Jack Baldwin’s hard-charging Porsche Cayman S for the second step on the podium after a late caution flag bunched up the field of 51 cars with less than 10 minutes to go.

“It was a great weekend for Kia Racing. To grab our first podium of the year feels darn good. The Kinetic crew did an awesome job preparing the No. 38 Optima, and the adjustments they made for Sunday’s race paid dividends,” said Wilkins, who had never driven COTA until this weekend.  “We learned a lot from Round Four on Saturday about tire wear, so on Sunday we focused on being patient and more consistent with the car.  The Optima performs so well that, naturally, you want to push it, but we had to make sure we had traction left at the end of the race, and I think our results show that we did a good job of tire management on Sunday.”

Wilkins’ podium finish moved him up from fourth to third in the Driver Championship as the series turns to another doubleheader weekend in Detroit at the end of May.

Teammate Nic Jönsson drove his No. 36 turbocharged Optima to fifth place in Round Four on Saturday, following fourth-placed Wilkins across the line.  Kia Racing’s momentum continued into Sunday, with the Optimas running third and fourth throughout much of Round Five’s 50-minute contest. With a little over 10 minutes remaining, however, a full-course caution bunched up the field, and on the ensuing restart, Jönsson made heavy contact with the second-place Camaro heading up the hill into turn one.  The jarring hit broke the front-right suspension and brake rotor, and Jönsson subsequently collided with the race-leading Camaro, damaging his own car to such an extent that he was unable to continue.  Jönsson was credited with a 22nd-place finish and slipped to ninth in the Driver Championship.

“We had a really good car Sunday, and after the caution flag, I felt like we had something for the GTS leaders; I had been saving the tires for the end and this was my chance to make a move,” said Jönsson, who was running third at the time of the incident.  “I had a run on the second-place car heading up the hill, but everyone is battling for every inch of race track out there and we just got together.  Once that happened, I lost my brakes and couldn’t avoid further contact.  It’s unfortunate I collected Lawson while he was in the lead.”

 Kia Motors America remains third in the Manufacturer point standings following COTA as the PWC series now turns to the Motor City on May 31-June 2 for Rounds Six and Seven.

"We said why not gave FairFax Kia a try. It's turned out to be the most correct decision we have made." - Eurekarex

Eurekarex Fairfax, Virginia May 16, 2013

Overall Score: 5

 

After several hours game playing with another dealer around the area, my wife and I had been really exhausted and frustrated, not about the price but the attitude. Then we said why not gave FairFax Kia a try. It's turned out to be the most correct decision we have made today. Chris, the salesman, first asked a number then disappeared for like 20 minutes. While I was thinking ahh another trick playing dealer, he came back with the deal and a BRAND NEW car. I was totally amazed because that's the most efficient dealer I had ever met. At first, I was kind of hesitated because every dealer tries to make you pay some more. But that isn't the case in FairFax Kia. When we were doing the paper work, I was chatting with the Chris, the sales manager and the great lady doing the finance for us. They are all really friendly and helpful. Now my new 2014 Kia Forte is parked in front my apartment, I cannot be happier.

"I will recommend this dealership to my relatives and friends." - Elvis

Elvis Gaithersburg, Maryland May 14, 2013

 

I was looking for a Used Hyundai Accent with low mileage, which got my attention to the Fairfax Kia website. Nice looking car with a great price, inviting me to contact the dealer by email to close a deal even before showing up at the dealer, avoiding to waste time negotiating (my personal way to do business while buying a vehicle) and just giving the chance to test drive, agree with conditions and sign papers and pay right away, making a smooth transaction and a win-win situation. When a buyer is serious, and the dealer cooperates, like Fairfax Kia did, it is just the best combination. I will recommend this dealership to my relatives and friends. Mr. Hoyt Sabo and Mr. Allen Ganji went above and beyond, and Mr. David Azizi delivered the final product, they were just an amazing combination to make this deal a reality. Thank you very much guys. Hope to do business with you again in the near future.

Kia Announces Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance Program for the All-New 2014 Cadenza

Flagship Sedan Arrives with Flagship-Level Maintenance Program

• Complimentary scheduled maintenance program covers up to 36 months or 37,500 miles¹
• Cadenza differentiated from competition in newly emerging market segment

Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced a complimentary scheduled maintenance program available for the all-new 2014 Cadenza premium sedan.  The program covers the first five factory-scheduled service appointments and is applicable for 36 months or 37,500 miles.  The program highlights yet another way Kia is elevating value to new levels of sophistication and promises to further differentiate the Cadenza from its competition. 

“The Cadenza competes in a class in which customers have higher expectations for their ownership experience. Our complimentary scheduled maintenance program – a benefit many would not have previously associated with the Kia brand – fulfills those expectations,” said John Crowe, vice president of service and after sale operations, KMA.  “The program helps differentiate the Cadenza from its competition and illustrates Kia’s intentions of launching a credible contender into the emerging space between mainstream and luxury.”

Already a tremendous value at a starting MSRP of just $35,100² (not including $800 destination), the Cadenza packs power, technology and refinement in Kia’s first full-size sedan, and the newly announced complimentary scheduled maintenance program only adds to the vehicle’s value proposition in its segment.  Complimentary scheduled maintenance is available to customers who either purchase or lease³ a new 2014 Cadenza and complete the maintenance work for their vehicles at participating Kia retailers.  The complimentary scheduled maintenance program, which excludes wear and tear items such as tires and brakes, is another benefit along with Kia’s industry leading 10 year/100,000 mile new-car warranty and Roadside Assistance⁴.

UVO eServices Makes Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance EasyAs Kia’s most technologically advanced vehicle, the 2014 Cadenza comes standard with UVO eServices⁵, which makes scheduling service appointments easier than ever. UVO eServices monitors service intervals and will alert the owner when it’s time to schedule an appointment at a Kia retailer.  Following on-screen prompts, the system has the ability to contact the retailer and schedule service appointments at the owner’s convenience.  UVO eServices is an enhanced telematics suite that offers a number of safety, maintenance and infotainment functions, including Automatic Diagnostics⁶, Manual Diagnostics, Scheduled Diagnostics, vehicle maintenance, and eServices Guide, many of which are run through the owner’s Smartphone⁷ equipped with the UVO eServices app, which is available at no charge⁸.

Through the UVO eServices owner's portal, known as "Car Care Web," owners can check vehicle diagnostics, vehicle status, maintenance schedules, driving behavior, and schedule appointments with their preferred or nearby Kia retailer via their home computer or mobile device.  If UVO's eServices identifies a problem by way of the Automatic Diagnostics function, it will communicate the vehicle's issue(s) and its location to Kia's 24/7 call center or will schedule an appointment online with the nearest Kia dealership upon the owner’s request.  Additionally, the user can take advantage of Scheduled Diagnostics from their Smartphone, setting a monthly diagnostic check of the vehicle.  Upon completion, any issues found are automatically forwarded to Car Care Web.

* The Sorento and Optima GDI (EX Trims and certain LX Trims only) and GDI Turbo are built in the United States from U.S. and globally sourced parts. 
¹ Purchasers and lessees of new 2014 Kia Cadenzas are eligible. Participating Kia authorized dealers only. The Program provides certain factory scheduled maintenance work, for the first five normal maintenances, for 37,500 miles or 30 months, whichever comes first (see Normal Maintenance Schedule in Owner’s Manual); however,  the fifth maintenance will be covered up to the 36th month.  Non-transferable.  Terms, conditions and exclusions apply. See participating dealers for program details.

² MSRP $35,100 for Premium (base) model. MSRP excludes destination and handling, taxes, title, license fees, options and retailer charges. Actual prices set by retailer and may vary.

³ Offer applies to first purchaser or lessee only.  Offer is not transferable to subsequent owners or lessees.

⁴ The Kia 10-year/100,000-mile warranty program includes various warranties and roadside assistance. Warranties include powertrain and the New Vehicle Limited Warranty (Basic). All warranties and roadside assistance are limited. See retailer for details or go to kia.com.

⁵ App requires UVO eServices equipped vehicle and runs on your Smartphone cellular data service. Normal data rates will apply.
⁶ Vehicle Diagnostics do not take the place of regularly scheduled maintenance. Feature checks powertrain, chassis, and airbag systems only, and requires initial activation.  For factory-recommended maintenance schedule, see the Maintenance Feature of UVO eServices or the Owner’s Manual.

⁷ As of May 2013, select Android™ and iPhone^® devices are the only UVO eServices compatible devices.  iPhone^® is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.  Android™ is a registered trademark of Google Inc.  Additional compatible devices expected late 2013.

⁸ No charge for the UVO eServices app. App runs on your smartphone cellular data service. Normal data rates will apply.
