Kia’s hybrid and plug-in hybrid lineup has expanded significantly over the past few years, and a lot of Beavercreek owners are now driving Niro, Sorento, or EV6 models alongside the more familiar Sportage hybrid. What most of them have in common is a battery cooling system that quietly does one of the most important jobs…
Summer in Beavercreek means more traffic on Pentagon Boulevard and North Fairfield Road, more stop and go commuting, and pavement temperatures that can climb well past what your brakes deal with in cooler months. What a lot of drivers don’t realize is that a brake inspection that’s often free or low cost can extend the…
Beavercreek’s Public Service Division begins treating roads with salt brine solution up to 72 hours before a winter storm arrives. Greene County operates its own fleet of treatment trucks running a salt and liquid deicer combination across county roads throughout the season.

A Kia Telluride owner came in last March after noticing a loud hum from the front axle on I-675 that hadn’t been there in the fall. He had leaned heavily on Terrain Mode through a tough Greene County winter, assuming the system was managing his tires through the ice and snow on Heller Drive and…
Last month, a Kia Sportage Hybrid came in from Fairborn after its owner had been dismissing a subtle hesitation on electric-to-gasoline engine transitions for about two months.
