Is your vehicle ready for the winter? With the harsh elements, we put our cars to the test a lot during the winter. We encourage you to schedule Hyundai service at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River to get your vehicle prepared.  Check Your Fluids

The cold weather can thicken your motor oil, so ensuring that yours can still flow freely in your vehicle is essential. You should also ensure that motor oil and the other fluids in your car are topped off. This includes your brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid. Replace Your Windshield Wipers

Your windshield wipers are also affected throughout the winter. They are typically on more often than not because of the frost, ice, snow, and road salt kicked up by other vehicles on the road. You may even want to consider replacing yours with winter windshield wipers, which can remain flexible even in freezing temperatures. Inspect Your Tires

You may also want to consider adding winter tires to your car, which can enhance your traction, even on slick terrains. At the very least, it’s crucial to inspect your tires. Make sure that you have adequate tire pressure and at least 6/32 of an inch of tread. Prepare for Harsh Conditions

Even with the proper precautions, you could still find yourself stuck in wintery conditions. It’s essential to always have at least half a tank of fuel to continue running your vehicle. Don’t forget to stock a winter safety kit as well. Winterize Your Car with Hyundai Service in Toms River, NJ

Before you consider buying your lease, we encourage you to do your research to make sure it’s a wise financial decision for you. To start, you’ll want to determine your vehicle’s buyout purchase price. This is your vehicle’s residual value, as your lease contract outlines. Schedule an Appointment

We encourage you to schedule an appointment with our dealership to discuss your lease buyout. A buyout can be made before your lease expires or at the end of your lease period. We suggest scheduling the appointment at least a month before its expiration to avoid late fees.Apply for Financing

If not, you’ll need to secure auto financing. Not all lenders extend lease buyout loans, and some have higher interest rates, so you’ll need to remember that if you lease outside Hyundai Motor Finance. Complete Lease Obligations

Are you eyeing a new vehicle at Lester Glenn Hyundai? Before you visit the dealership, we encourage you to prepare. We’re outlining a few extra steps you can take to prepare to buy a new car.  Do Your Research

We see many drivers get their hearts set on a new Hyundai model, and they want it today. However, we encourage you to do your research before you shop. Check out blogs and reviews about your favorite models to ensure they have everything you need. Determine Your Budget

Experts recommend keeping your total auto expenses, including your payment, insurance, and maintenance, under 20 percent of your take-home pay. Keep in mind your debt-to-income ratio will also be a factor. Generally, lenders look for a DTI ratio under 36 percent. Weigh Financing vs. Leasing

When financing a vehicle, you’re building up equity in your purchase, which you can later use as a trade-in. Leasing is a better option if you prefer continuously upgrading to a new vehicle. Plus, it’s typically more affordable. Get Preapproved

If you are interested in financing, we recommend that you get preapproved. It can save you time at the dealership and give you an estimate of the rates and payments you can expect. Secure Auto Insurance

Valid auto insurance is required to purchase a new vehicle. If you already have existing coverage, we recommend contacting your agent about your plans to switch vehicles. You’ll need to start shopping around if you don’t have coverage. Visit Us to Buy a New Hyundai Vehicle in Toms River Today

As a Hyundai dealer, safety is always our top concern. And, when it comes to your children, a properly installed car seat is one of the best ways that you can help protect them on the road. That’s where the LATCH System comes in, which we’re outlining at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River.  LATCH System Overview

LATCH is an acronym that stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. The LATCH System was created to make installing car seats and keeping them safely secured in your vehicle as simple as possible. The LATCH System includes anchors in the back seat of your car because the back seat is the safest place for kids under the age of 13. How It Works

Your child’s car seat includes lower anchor connectors, which should be secured to the lower anchors in the back seat of your vehicle. They are usually found in the space where your cushions meet. This system is used as an alternative to fastening your car seat with your vehicle’s seat belt. You don’t need to do both. Top Tether

If you have a forward-facing car seat, you should also secure it to the top anchor of the system. Your car seat should have a tether that can be attached to the anchor. Remember, this is recommended for any forward-facing car seat, whether you are using the LATCH System or a seat belt to keep the bottom secure.Visit Our Hyundai Dealership for Help

When it comes to safety, we firmly believe that you should leave nothing to chance. If you have questions about the LATCH System or need help installing your child’s car seat, see us at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River. We’d love to help!

A Hyundai EV can help you save on fuel costs and reduce your carbon footprint. However, many drivers hesitate to buy one due to the many myths surrounding them. We’re debunking the ones we hear most at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River. EVs are Expensive

Yes, many EVs cost more upfront than a gasoline-powered vehicle. But you save money longer-term thanks to incentives, lower maintenance costs, and the lower cost of electricity versus gasoline. Their Range is Limited

Many drivers assume an EV charge can’t compete with a full tank of gas. However, many EVs boast impressive ranges, with the Hyundai Kona EV capable of driving up to 258 miles on a full charge by EPA estimates. Between home charging and a growing infrastructure of public charging stations, it’s so convenient to charge too. EVs aren’t Eco-Friendly

With zero tailpipe emissions, EVs are undeniably eco-friendly. However, many believe the energy required to produce and charge them is still harmful. There’s some validity to this, but they’re still more eco-friendly than a gasoline-powered vehicle. They’re Slow

We know that the roar of an engine makes it seem more powerful. However, an EV can pack quite the punch too. They deliver torque instantly, which helps many EVs accelerate quicker than gas models with comparable output. There Isn’t Enough Power for EVs

It’s a common myth that the power grid can’t handle EVs. But, with so many drivers charging in off-peak hours, the nation can actually withstand millions of EVs being added to the roads. Test-Drive a Hyundai EV Today

One of the best ways to know if a Hyundai EV is for you is to try one out for yourself. Stop by Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River for a test drive today!

Are your pets part of your summer adventures? With Hyundai accessories from Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River, you can make your cabin a safe space. They help to keep your cabin as clean as possible too.  Use a Carrier

Pets can be very distracting while driving, which is unsafe for you and them. When possible, keep them in a carrier while traveling. Consider a Harness

A harness is another option for securing your pet. There are seatbelts explicitly designed for pets that you attach to their harness to keep them from interfering while you drive. Add a Barrier

If you feel comfortable with your pet simply riding in the backseat, add a barrier between you. We suggest adding a seat cover for easy cleanup too. Safeguard Against Messes

Pets come with muddy paws and even an occasional accident. All-season mats are beneficial because they can easily be cleaned. Keep Food and Water Handy

Once you hit the road, the miles can climb quickly. Don’t forget to make frequent stops for your pet to eat and drink water (and use the restroom too). Watch the Windows

Yes, an open window is fun for a dog, but they can get struck by something and risk getting debris in their eyes and mouth. You don’t want them to escape, either. Never Leave Them Unattended

A hot car is a dangerous place for a pet. Make sure pet-friendly stops are integrated into your travel plans so they’re never left stranded in your vehicle. Order Hyundai Accessories at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River Today

With all the perks, switching to electric driving is certainly exciting, but it can be overwhelming too. We’ve compiled a few tips to help you shop confidently for your first Hyundai EV from Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River.  Understand EV Charging

Naturally, one of the most significant differences between switching to an electric vehicle (EV) is charging versus filling up with gas. Understanding the different charging levels and the time needed to charge your car is essential. Know Your Range

When considering EVs, the range is an essential factor. When you spend a lot of time driving without much time for breaks, looking for a vehicle with a generous electric range is important. You also want to understand what affects your range and could drain your vehicle before you anticipated it. Find Out Where You Can Charge

With the growing number of public charging stations, on-the-go charging is certainly convenient. However, it’s always important to know where to locate the nearest public charging station so you don’t ever find yourself stranded; the Hyundai BlueLink® app will help with this and other aspects of EV power management. Consider an At-Home Charging Station

While public charging is great, nothing beats the convenience of charging while you sleep. We encourage you to weigh the pros and cons of an at-home station to see if it’s for you. Look at Electric Incentives

There are undeniable perks to an EV, including incentives and tax credits. We encourage you to look up local options to see how much your budget could be affected. We’d be happy to review your options with you anytime too! Hyundai EV Shopping in Toms River
