Hyundai Summer Service Tasks 

Just as people can suffer from heat exhaustion, cars can also incur damage from overheating — especially during the summer months. Here are some service tasks to consider before you schedule Hyundai service in Toms River, NJ this summer.1. Oil Change

Hot weather puts extra stress on the oil. There are also more airborne contaminants during this time of year, which can get into the oil and cause degradation. Our trained technicians will inspect your oil system, including filters, to ensure everything stays fresh and clean. 2. Check the Battery

Car batteries die often in the summer — the heat accelerates fluid loss inside the battery cell and causes molecular changes in the chemicals. This leads to oxidation and corrosion buildup in the battery terminals. At the dealership, our technicians will perform a voltage check. This is especially important if it has been three or more years since the battery was new or replaced. 3. Brake Inspection

Traffic peaks in the summer as people embark on long road trips. Increased traffic equals stop-and-go driving and frequent braking. Worn brakes is a safety hazard as it increases total stopping distance. Have a technician inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear. Schedule a brake inspection ASAP if the brake pedal feels less responsive than usual.4. Tire Assessment

Examine your tires for wear. Common signs of aging tires include worn treads, bubbling on the sidewall, and an air leak from an opening in the valve stem. In addition, a technician will check for proper alignment and balance, making rotations if necessary, and recommendations if there’s excessive damage.Visit Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River to schedule vehicle maintenance before the sun sets on summer.
