Upcoming winter weather requires certain measures to get your vehicle prepared. Scheduling Hyundai service is the first step. Although there are a few things you can do yourself, the majority of preventative services should be handled by a certified Hyundai technician. Contact Blaise Alexander Hyundai of Altoona to schedule a service appointment.
Check the Battery
If you have a battery tester, you can test it yourself; but, if not you will need to have a certified technician check the battery for you. Your battery should maintain sufficient charge to get you through winter travel. If the charge is not up to par, it is a good idea to replace the battery to be safe.
Check Your Tires
Good tires are a must in winter road conditions. Make sure you have ample tread and pressure and if in doubt, replace them. For certain vehicles, it is best to replace your tires with those specifically designed for winter weather.
Brake Check
Precise braking is a necessity in winter road conditions. Having your brakes checked for wear and tear on the pads, and checking the rotors will ensure you are ready for inclement weather. If your technician recommends new brake pads or rotors, be safe and have new ones installed.
Check Fluid Levels and Get a Fresh Oil Change
Each of the fluids in your vehicle should be full and fresh. Even if your car is not due for an oil change, starting the winter season with a fresh one is suggested. All other fluids should be checked as well and replenished as needed. Fluids include windshield washer, brake, power steering, and coolant.
