Winter is at our heels, and it won't be long before it catches up. Fortunately, your friends at Lancaster Kia are ready to help you prepare your car for winter driving. A little winter maintenance goes a long way, so we encourage you to check the following services off your to-do list before winter hits:
Battery Check
This time of year is when many Lancaster, PA drivers find out the hard way that their car batteries are weak. Frigid winter weather saps car batteries of their strength, which is why it's important to bring your car to our service center for a battery check. We can test your battery to make sure it's strong enough to withstand winter, and we can fit your car with a new one if it's not.
Winter Tires
Do you know what makes winter tires so uniquely well-suited for winter weather? They're made of a softer rubber that stays more flexible on cold pavement, making it easier for them to gain traction. They also have tread patterns designed specifically designed to improve performance on snowy, slushy roads.
Filter Checks
Now is a great time to have your filters checked or replaced. We can check your engine air filter, oil filter, and cabin air filter to make sure everything is going smoothly. If you need any new filters, we have genuine Kia parts at the ready for replacement.
Wipers and Washer Fluid
Your windshield wipers often have a lot more to do in winter. If your wiper blades are worn, we can replace them so that you can maximize your ability to clear your windshield. We can also top off your washer fluid.
Winter Emergency Kit
This isn't a winter service, but it's something we recommend! Be sure to have items in your car that you can keep handy in case of an emergency. Things like warm clothes, a shovel, a bag of sand or cat litter for traction, an ice scraper, and a flashlight should be part of every winter emergency kit to help you stay warm and safe as you venture in and out of York, PA.
