Goodguys Rod & Custom Association (Goodguys), Northern California based producers of America’s Favorite Car Show, is thrilled to announce a strategic marketing & services partnership with the Utah Valley University (UVU) Transportation Technology Program and the UVU Auto Expo in conjunction with the inaugural Goodguys 1st RaceDeck Salt Lake Nationals, May 15-17 at Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City.

The partnership, the first of its kind for Goodguys Rod & Custom Association, will merge Goodguys’ established reputation and national footprint in the classic aftermarket automotive and entertainment industry with UVU’s longstanding local expertise and history in the market in a unified effort to produce an event that the citizens of Salt Lake City and its surrounding communities will embrace and enjoy for many years to come.

This first-time Goodguys event will host a projected 1,500 hot rods, customs, classics, muscle cars and trucks from all over the country. Additionally, participants and spectators can expect to experience the cone-dodging Goodguys AutoCross timed racing competition, earth-shaking Nitro Thunderfest exhibition, a tire-smoking Burnout Competition, vendor and manufacturer exhibits, live music, a free Kids Zone and more.

A key feature of the event will include a used auto parts Swap Meet and Cars 4 Sale Corral presented by UVU Auto Expo. In addition to providing Swap Meet and Cars 4 Sale Corral marketing and at-event operations services, UVU Auto Expo will provide host club volunteer services and will assist Goodguys in securing temporary staffing for key areas of the event including event operations, ticketing & registration and retail merchandising throughout the weekend of the event.

“We’re looking forward to partnering with our new friends at UVU to produce an annual automotive happening that the citizens of Utah look forward to and consider their own for many years to come. The support and passion we have received so far from Utah Valley University has been unprecedented and will certainly be instrumental to our success as we open and introduce Goodguys to the Salt Lake City hot rodding community”, said Andrew Ebel, C.O.O. of Goodguys.

There isn’t anything worse for a car owner to hear than the news that their car needs a new engine.  But the truth is sometimes the engine in your car simply dies. While there are things you can do to help keep your engine healthy and your car on the road, it is also important to know what signs might signal trouble ahead. According to the Car Care Council’s website the following are all signs that there may be a problem brewing in the engine.

• Excessive smoke pouring out of the tailpipe

• Using excessive amounts of oil

• Strange sounds like knocking or tapping

• Low oil pressure

• Oil getting into places it shouldn’t be like the air cleaner or radiator

• Low engine compression

• Water in the oil

If any of these problems happen, you need to take the care to your local repair shop immediately to have the engine looked at and any problems addressed. This can make it possible for you to catch a problem early enough that it doesn’t result in having to completely replace the engine.

There are several things that can cause engine problems.

It’s difficult to think of everything that you might want to keep in your car’s trunk, which can result in being unprepared in the event of an emergency. As a responsible motorist, you want to compile a thorough list of what you should always have on hand as a driver. These can include items not only for emergency preparedness, but also convenience and car maintenance. This is a good way to save time and money and eliminate frustration if anything goes wrong while driving. Here are 6 essential items to keep in the trunk of your car in case of emergency.

1. A first aid kit. If you are in any type of accident or your car suddenly breaks down, you want to have first aid supplies ready. A good first aid kit should include sterile gauze and bandages, cotton swabs and medical tape, and a cold pack to reduce swelling. You can also add items like insect repellent, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and an over-the-counter pain relief mediation.

2. A set of jumper cables. A dead battery is one of the most common car problems that could leave you stranded.  Find a working set of jumper cables and locate your car’s battery and battery terminals. Having a set of jumper cables onboard is also nice to be able to help another motorist that becomes stranded from a dead car battery.

3. An adjustable lug wrench and tire jack. Tire blowouts are another common problem that can happen while driving, potentially leaving you stranded. You want to be able to take off a faulty tire and put on the spare if needed. It is a good idea to keep a lug wrench and tire jack in the trunk as well as some other basic tools like a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.

They are patriotic Americans that work each day to give back just a fraction of what our service men and women have given and sacrificed for us. The ability to give back to those in need that wear the uniform each day gives us great satisfaction and fulfills their duty as Americans to help those that volunteer each day to protect this great country!

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 19, 2020 - The Kia Telluride has won a 2020 Autotrader 10 Best Car Interiors Under $50,000 award. Autotrader judges were impressed by the SUV's interior quality, comfort and value within its segment.

"Most people spend several hours inside their vehicles each week, so interior features are extremely important when determining which new car to buy," said Tara Trompeter, Autotrader managing editor. "Kia's Telluride arguably is the best execution of the three-row SUV formula to date. While any Telluride offers a modern interior complete with forward-looking features, it's the SX model that really wows us. The top-spec Telluride comes with Nappa leather seating available in four different upscale hues, a premium headliner and simulated wood trim."

"The Telluride interior is a wonderful environment," said Michael Cole, president, Kia Motors America. "It's so gratifying to have that recognized and awarded by the esteemed editors at Autotrader."

Telluride has garnered more than 60 awards from media outlets around the country since its introduction. Demand continues to outpace supply and more than 60,000 Tellurides have been sold since going on sale early last year.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 19, 2020 -- Hyundai is out to make car shopping better with its completely redesigned Hyundaiusa.com website. Today, Hyundai launched the new site that features an intuitive experience that will make it easier for customers to find a Hyundai that fits their needs, locate a nearby dealer, and get behind the wheel for a test drive.

"Our completely reimagined website gives customers a rich, immersive experience that makes navigating the site simpler and more productive," said Angela Zepeda, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. "It's built on a state-of-the-art platform with powerful tools, engaging content, and better dealer integration that will allow us to add even more innovative features in the years to come."

Hyundaiusa.com is fully responsive so it can be accessed on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices with no compromise. The new website is organized into three main sections: Vehicles, Build & Price, and Inventory, plus easy access to Hyundai offers.

Vehicles
The vehicles section offers all of the information shoppers need to understand Hyundai's full lineup of cars and SUVs. They can see existing and upcoming vehicles and compare between models. Each vehicle has an overview page which introduces the overall character of the model and a sample of its stand-out features, benefits and awards.

In addition, there is a dedicated section for all of the trims, so users can explore the features of each trim, available packages and options, and filter the trims by specific feature. The specification page doubles as a trim comparison, allowing a side-by-side view of any trims of the model the user is looking at.
