Winter is one of the most stressful times of the year on your vehicle, so you want it to be prepared to take on the toughest winter weather conditions and temperatures. At D'Arcy Hyundai, we want to help you keep your vehicle performing at the highest level for every mile to come, which means properly maintaining it in the winter. That's why we're going to share some helpful winter service tips, some of which you can do at home, and others you can have performed in our service center today.
Put on Winter Tires
In climates like ours, winter tires are crucial to your vehicle's performance and your safety. They're specifically designed to travel through snow and ice to maintain optimal traction and control.
Clean Out Leaves and twigs from your Vehicle
You don't want to have rotting leaves in important areas of your vehicle. They can clog up air filters and cause rust. That's why it's important to clean out any leftover fall foliage from your vehicle before winter.
Change Your Windshield Wipers
Snow and freezing rain can fall in an instant. For the best visibility, it's important to ensure you have high-performing windshield wipers to provide you with the best visibility.
Check Your Battery
The last thing you want is a dead battery on a cold winter morning. You can check the charge at home or have us look at it.
Check Under Your Vehicle
You want to be sure that your vehicle is in the right condition, and the underside of it is the most susceptible to damage in the winter. Check it for rust, leaks, and other damage.
Change Fluids
All your vehicle's fluids have a specific function in helping it perform at the highest level. That's why we suggest changing or refilling all your fluids in the winter. Whether it's changing your oil or topping off your coolant and windshield fluid, all will be beneficial to your vehicle in the cold temperatures.
