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

Is your Hyundai lease coming to an end? Have you decided that you want to keep it? We’re outlining the lease buyout process at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River to illustrate how easy it can be. Determine the Buyout Purchase Price

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

To buy your lease, you’ll be responsible for paying off the remaining value of your vehicle. If you can, you’re welcome to pay off the remaining value with cash. 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

Before completing the process, you need to tie up any loose ends. Do you still have remaining lease payments or any early buyout fees? You’ll also need to complete a title transfer and register your vehicle with the DMV. Visit Our Toms River, NJ Dealership to Learn More

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

We work to make the car-buying experience as seamless as possible at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River. If you need help preparing, we’re happy to help. Stop by to chat with our team 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!
