To curb the spike in auto thefts, Moritz Kia is taking a stand by offering Fort Worth Kia owners complimentary security enhancements. This Saturday, the dealership will close its service department to provide free ignition switch upgrades and steering wheel locks, along with software updates designed to thwart car thieves.

The community event, detailed in a recent Facebook post by the Fort Worth Police Department, is scheduled for May 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Moritz Kia dealership on 8501 W. Freeway. The initiative is a direct response to the local community's concerns regarding vehicle security, particularly for Kia owners who have seen an increase in targeted thefts.

Fort Worth residents have reason to feel optimistic about this proactive approach. The dealership's decision to offer these services at no cost not only underscores its commitment to the community but also to the safety of its clientele. Participation in the event is straightforward: Kia owners are encouraged to bring their vehicles to the specified location and take advantage of the free security measures.

As part of the announcement, Moritz Kia and the Fort Worth Police Department hope that the broader community will rally together, to raise awareness and put a dent in the city's car theft rates. Vehicle owners are advised to arrive early since services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis and the turnout is expected to be significant.
