Prepare Your Hyundai for Winter near College Park, MD

There are various things you can do to prepare your Hyundai vehicle for winter, and you can get all of them done with the help of the service center staff members at Pohanka Hyundai in Capitol Heights. Our dealership is one of many within the Pohanka family auto group and we’ve been in the service of others for over 100 years. Visit us for winterizing maintenance and see for yourself why we’ve been around for so long!

Tires and Services

If you’re the owner of summer tires, you might need to replace them for winter components. Summer tires are only ideal for driving when temperatures hit above 45 degrees constantly, and when winter in College Park arrives, the mercury of your outdoor thermometer might say it’s colder than the number listed prior. Changing your components for winter items will ensure you’re gripping upcoming snow and light ice effectively. If you already have winter or all-season tires installed, make sure you’re getting them the necessary maintenance so they are properly using their tread and you’re not damaging their level of effectiveness. You can schedule a tire rotation or a tire replacement with ease. 

Battery Test and Inspection

It would be a shame if you were driving in a snow storm and your car battery stopped working. This can not only be dangerous, but is easily preventable with a battery test and inspection. Our technicians will find any issues with the exterior shell of the cell or voltage problems before they cause you to lose power when you’re out and about. We have the right tools to allow us to see if your battery holds the right charge as well as having a team of experts that know how to displace a battery that has a damaged exterior. When winter arrives, resume your trips along I-495 with peace of mind and a functional battery. 

Windshield Wipers

Finally, since winter is known as a season that brings snow and sleet to the masses that are headed to the College Park Aviation Museum, you will need windshield wipers that will match the pace at which the storm is falling. Windshield wipers are important to have in a functional state because they will allow you to see as you’re driving. If they are too old or have some sort of exposed metal piece, this can not only cause your windshield to have an improper clean, but they will also damage your glass. This can then lead you to replace the entire piece, which can add up to a hefty sum. If you can’t see, this can also lead to potential accidents or collisions. Be safe and get your windshield wipers from Pohanka Hyundai in Capitol Height’s Parts Department!
