Kia-Certified Tires
One of the most important aspects of preparing your vehicle for spring is ensuring it has the right tires. When the temperature consistently remains above seven degrees, you should swap your winter tires for all-season or summer tires. Winter tires are specially designed to take on snow and ice, ensuring proper traction. When the weather gets warmer, these tires lose their ability to perform and can lead to several issues, including longer braking distances. If you’re looking for a new set of all-season or summer tires, Kitchener Kia has several options to choose from.
Brake System
Spring is a great time to also ensure your vehicle’s brakes are working as they should. The cold winter season is tough on brakes. It can lead to corrosion, frozen components, and increased wear and tear, all of which can cause malfunctions. Our spring brake service starts with a thorough inspection of your brakes by our expert technicians. Brakes in good condition will be cleaned up. If your vehicle requires new brakes and rotors, our technicians will guide you through the process.
Under the Hood
When preparing your vehicle for spring, it is also important to check your vehicle’s power source and its associated parts. For gas-powered vehicles, ensure the engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant are all topped up. Inspect the battery terminal for any cleaning and perform a load test to ensure it’s working as it should. Hybrid vehicles should also be inspected for their battery cooling systems. Additionally, EV and PHEV models should be inspected for corrosion of their charging ports.
Exterior Care
There’s no doubt road salt is helpful in winter; it melts ice on roads to make winter driving safer. But its helpfulness ends when it comes to how it impacts our vehicles. Road salt, along with other substances that contribute to winter grime, can lead to corrosion. When you’re preparing your vehicle for spring, it’s crucial you remove it from every part of your vehicle, including the undercarriage and wheel wells. Getting your vehicle detailed by our experts is a great way to ensure your vehicle is free of winter grime.
