Case Study: Kia of Stockton achieves inspection-ready compliance and reduced regulatory risk with KPA

Kia of Stockton, a Lithia Motors Dealership, Relies on KPA to Avoid Bad Days

Kia of Stockton, a Lithia Motors dealership in Northern California, prides itself on a strong safety culture but faced the common dealership challenge of stretched staff who can miss environmental health and safety (EHS) issues and evolving OSHA, EPA and DOT requirements. To maintain compliance and avoid incidents, Kia of Stockton engaged KPA and its comprehensive EHS and compliance platform, including on-site audits, training, and online/on-call resources.

KPA delivered tailored online, on-site and on-call support plus automated controls and facility audits — most notably a timely audit by KPA auditor Benjamin — which brought inspection logs, secondary container checks, antifreeze records and the dealership’s yellow box into compliance. When the City of Stockton performed a surprise inspection the following week, the dealership had no actionable violations, saving Kia of Stockton time and money, preventing write-ups, and strengthening its ongoing safety and regulatory posture with KPA’s advocacy.
