Prepare Your Kia for Winter near Berwyn, IL
The Chicago metropolitan area is known for its vicious winters. As someone who lives here, you probably already know that the cold affects your Kia vehicle as much as it does you. That’s why the Service Department at Evergreen Kia would like to help you winterize your Sportage or Sorento in a variety of ways!
Testing and Replacing the Battery
When mornings begin to bring frost, the performance of the battery inside your car is one of the first to be affected. This is because low temperatures slow down the chemical reaction within it, negatively influencing its ability to hold a charge. As a consequence, many drivers suddenly find themselves unable to start their cars ahead of their work commutes, as the battery struggles to produce enough electricity to turn over the engine, sometimes even dying entirely. That’s why it’s important to get your vehicle’s power cell inspected before winter begins in full force. When you visit our dealership, our technicians can make sure what you currently have under the hood has the appropriate cold cranking amps to function properly in frigid conditions. They can also check its voltage with a multimeter and swap it out with a new one if necessary.
Equipping Your Car with Winter Tires
Berwyn and its surrounding areas get a lot of snow during the winter due to their proximity with Lake Michigan. When roads are covered with ice and slush, all-season tires have a difficult time maintaining their grip on the road, because they are not engineered for peak performance in extreme weather conditions. This can compromise your safety behind the wheel, so it’s highly recommended that you put winter tires on your Telluride or K5 once temperatures fall below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. If you recently moved from a region where snow tires were not needed, make haste to acquire a set from our Parts Department. That way, you can purchase ones that deliver an ideal fit for your Kia and have them installed and balanced by factory-trained technicians.
Inspecting Your Windshield Wipers
The importance of windshield wipers tends to fall under the radar until a day comes with pouring rain or heavy snowfall. In the case of the latter, powder can quickly accumulate on your windshield, impeding your view of what’s in front of you. This would be entirely unsafe, so before receiving inches of snow becomes an everyday occurrence during the winter, you should make sure that your wipers are in good condition. The recommended replacement interval for these are six months to a year. Even if it hasn’t been that long since you had them exchanged, you should get new parts if they squeak when in operation, or if they leave streaks on the glass while doing their job. If the rubber on them are worn, the metal underneath may leave scratches on your windshield. For these and other winterizing services, schedule your appointment today!
