One of the most important winter services is checking your battery. Cold temperatures can reduce battery capacity, making it harder to start your car. If your battery is more than a few years old, it may be time for a replacement. Bring your Kia to our service center, and we'll test your battery to make sure it has enough power to get you through the season.
Your tires are critical for maintaining traction on slippery winter roads around Harrisburg. If you don't already have a set of winter tires, consider making the switch for improved handling and stopping power in snow and ice. At a minimum, check that your all-season tires have adequate tread depth. Our technicians can inspect your tires and let you know if a new set is recommended.
Visibility is key for safe winter driving near Carlisle. Make sure your wiper blades are in good condition and that your wiper fluid is filled with a winter blend that won't freeze. It's also a good idea to keep an ice scraper in your car to clear frost and snow off your windows and mirrors before hitting the road.
Other important winter service items include:
