Scheduling routine Genesis service can go a long way to protecting your car, reducing the need for costly repairs, and making every ride efficient and comfortable. It’s especially important in the chilly months, when winter driving conditions can affect road surfaces and visibility, as well as the health of your vehicle’s parts and systems. When you schedule service early, you protect your vehicle and your passengers. Genesis of the North Shore is here to help you get started.
Check the Fluid Levels
There are many essential fluids in your vehicle that support safe winter driving. The oil helps to capture debris kicked up from the road, like salt, and wiper fluid ensures maximum visibility even in snowstorms. Coolant is especially important, as it regulates engine temperature and helps to reduce damage from freezing. Make sure all these fluids are topped off before your next winter adventure.
Inspect the Battery
Car batteries are especially prone to damage and capacity loss in the winter. Temperatures below freezing can lead to capacity loss up to 50 percent, which can increase your risk of getting stranded. You want to check your battery’s capacity early on in the season, so you know if it needs to be replaced.
Tire Service
You’ll also want to decide if you’re switching to winter tires or keeping your all-season tires this year. If you keep your all-season tires, make sure to check both the pressure and tread depth. Proper tread depth helps to ensure traction on slippery roads, and tires can lose pressure in cold temperatures, so you’ll want to monitor them and make sure they’re aired up.
