Kia hosting Fresno theft deterrent installation event
FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Kia America will be fitting theft deterrents to its cars at an event in Fresno later this month.
The “theft deterrent installation event” at Fashion Fair Mall is in response to what the company says are social media “challenges” that encourage theft of certain Kia vehicles. Drivers of eligible Kia vehicles can have a theft-deterrent ignition cylinder protector installed for free.
