Kia Winter Maintenance Tips

Winter Maintenance Services

• Battery Testing: The St. Louis, MO area, harbors hot summers causing rapid battery depreciation and freezing winters leading to sluggish battery performance. Winter maintenance should include testing the battery while performing a visual inspection for case deformities, leaking fluid, and terminal corrosion. Replace old batteries with a failed inspection/testing immediately.
• Tire Inspection: You’ll want optimum traction and safety this winter, so be sure that your winter maintenance plan includes a tire inspection. Kia-certified tire inspections include an irregular wear/damage assessment, tread depth measurement, and air pressure check. Some Kia drivers mount winter tread tires for best performance in sub-zero temperatures and slick roads.
• Windshield Wiper Blades: You can expect snow and ice this winter, so be sure that your windshield wiper blades are prepared for snow and ice removal with an inspection and replacement service; if they leave streaks, have rubber damage, or are over a year old.
• Winter Blend Windshield Wiper Fluid: Install a winter blend fluid for peak ice clearing in freezing temperatures and adverse driving conditions.
• Coolant Fluid/Antifreeze: Winter maintenance should include checking the coolant fluid, replenishing as needed, and getting exchange service at the recommended miles or if contaminated.
• HVAC Inspection: Promote winter driving comfort and safety by checking the heater, defroster, seat, and steering wheel warmers.
• Brake Inspection: A certified Kia 4-wheel brake inspection is an excellent way to know that brake pads, rotors, fluid, lines, calipers, and hardware are at their best for safe winter driving.
• Roadside Assistance & Severe Weather Kits: Be ready for anything with roadside assistance and severe weather kits this winter. Contact us for assistance getting genuine Kia OEM kits from the accessories department.
