Winter is tough on your vehicle. Now that the weather is warming up it’s time to perform some important maintenance to keep things running smoothly. Routine maintenance Now that winter is in the rearview mirror, schedule a service checkup with our Hyundai Service Center. Your appointment doesn’t have to be a scheduled service interval visit. Let the expert techs perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s fluids, tire pressure and treads, battery and engine/transmission systems. Fresh clean oil and other fluids ensure that your engine, transmission and drive trainrun smoothly. Winter takes a toll on your battery After winter, your car battery might be on its deathbed. Low temperatures forced your battery to work harder by slowing down its chemical reactions. Now, high temperatures are right around the corner, ready to evaporate essential battery fluids and speed up corrosion. There’s a chance that one hot day could leave your battery DOA. Avoid the inconvenience of a car that won’t start by getting your car battery tested and if necessary, replaced, before it’s too late. Tires Check your tire pressure in the morning, and adjust your tires based on that reading. Your tire pressure should match the recommended tire pressure in your vehicle manual. In general, tires lose or gain 1 PSI (pound per square inch) for every 10℉ change in temperature, and both under-inflated and over-inflated tires can cause problems on the road. Our Hyundai Service Center will check your tire’s tread depth and wear patterns as well, and recommend tire rotation and/or replacement. Wiper blades and wiper fluids Winter ice and debris are not your wiper blades friends. Our Service Center will replace them for a clean, streak-free windshield. Top off your washer fluid as well.

Winter is a tough time for drivers and their vehicles. The first snowfall of the season seems to appear unexpectedly and take us by surprise. There's no better time than now to review smart tactics so that next season we're fully prepared. Routine Maintenance Before the heavy cold sets in, schedule a service checkup with your Toyota Service Center. Your appointment doesn't have to be a scheduled service interval visit. Let the expert techs perform a thorough check of your vehicle's fluids, tire pressure and treads, battery and engine/transmission systems. Tires In snowy regions, dedicated winter tires are the best option. If you use your stock all-season tires, make sure they have enough tread and are wearing evenly. If treads are very worn, don't shrug it off. It's the safety of you, those riding with you and others around you! Emergencies Stock your vehicle with a few bottles of water, extra windshield fluid, an emergency blanket and flashlight. We've all heard about jammed highways that took many hours to clear. Be prepared! Fuel Keep your vehicle filled with fuel. A few hours of idling or a long detour can leave you stranded with an empty tank. While you're at it, take the station stop as an opportunity to double-check your tire pressure. Changing temps cause tires to change pressure. Snow sweepers Most of us have been using simple scrapers and brushes. Consider a snow sweeper like this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Suncast-Telescoping-Snow-Sweeper-SB80024/207206768 This sweeper is absolutely brilliant. Fast work with no scratches! Our dealership uses ones like this all the time to make short work of cleaning cars after a snowfall. There are plenty of other brands and models available as well. And don't forget to raise your wiper blades before a snow!
