Tire Care Tips in New Braunfels, TX

The Service Department at World Car Kia New Braunfels wants to be of assistance in keeping your vehicle in good condition. This involves the care of your tires, so read on to learn about how you can get the most out of your set!

Maintenance

Most components of a car will need servicing at some point in order to remain functional. This is especially important for the tires beneath your model, as they make constant contact with roads like Loop 337. Since the front pair takes the brunt of the damage from braking and bear the weight of the engine, they tend to degrade faster. For that reason, getting a tire rotation service every 5,000 miles or so is important. This lets each part wear out evenly, boosting traction, performance, and longevity. Also, a routine wheel alignment can make sure that each unit is calibrated with the suspension properly. Have us inspect your tires for punctures and damage when you visit us.

Storage

The summer weather we get here in New Braunfels is very hot, which can have a negative overall effect on your tires. It can cause the rubber material to become slightly softer, which may result in more rapid degradation. That’s why it’s recommended to store your Kia out of the sunlight, preferably in a covered area like a garage. Doing so can prolong the life of your tires. Also, if the roads are wet, we suggest that you avoid parking in any puddles for extended periods of time. Not to mention, slopes can cause flat spots to form on tires, so try to keep your model on a level surface as much as possible. Feel free to drop by our convenient location if you notice problems with your tires before leaving on a trip to Landa Park. 

Driving Habits

The way you drive plays a role in how long your tires last. For instance, motorists who brake frequently often find that they need new ones much more often. That’s because the wheels create a great deal of friction when you slow down. Also, try to adhere to the speed limit as much as possible. Speeding will mean that you may need to stop more often and take tighter turns, which can negatively affect your tires. Driving more slowly will also allow you to get more life out of your brakes. Consider planning out your journey to San Antonio ahead of time so that you can avoid traffic jams. If you have questions about your tires, direct them to our team via the Ask a Tech form.

The staff there are wonderful and really work hard to make sure that they meet your needs. Jay helped us through the whole experience and was always positive and willing to answer all of our questions at any time of the day. My fiance and I had very specific needs for our vehicle and Jay worked with us through everything to make sure we found the car we both wanted and needed that fit our specifications. Unlike certain dealers in the area, never once did we feel pressured to buy immediately, Jay made sure that what we were looking at was exactly what we wanted. He made sure that we were comfortable with the whole car buying experience and were 100% satisfied with what we picked out. Thank you Jay and World Car! You definitely have our business any time we need a new car!

I just went there for an oil change. Reception was fine, service was timely and they offer coffee and WiFi free of charge. I was happy. They also washed my car for free. Can't beat that.

Rudy is the friendliest, kindest guy you could meet when shopping for a car. I could write a whole essay about how nice and thoughtful he is, but the most important thing is that he listens to you. He will listen to you when you tell him what you need and want and he will do his best for you. I met him through my dad when I bought my first car. He knew I was already in love with the Soul, but he made sure I didn't leave without being completely informed on all its features. I referred my fiance Brandon to him a year later when he was replacing his used car. Rudy helped him through the process of buying and familiarizing him with the Optima that Brandon had chosen. A month didn't even pass before we got a referral check from him in the mail. Whether you know what you want already or not - Rudy can help you out. I highly recommend speaking to him if you stop by. And if he's reading this, thank you again for everything!
