As a responsible Hyundai car owner, you know how important it is to have regular maintenance work done to keep your car up and running, especially as we transition from winter into spring. Here are a few Hyundai service tasks we recommend performing now to get your car ready for spring. Check the A/C

As we enjoy the temperate spring climate, now’s the best time to make sure your a/c is working properly. It might be a while since you last used it, so you might not be aware of any issues that cropped up during the winter. It’s best to figure this out now so you can get it fixed right away before you find yourself stuck in the sweltering heat with no a/c. Inspect Your Wipers

The ice and snow of winter are tough on your windshield wipers, and heavy spring rains won’t make their job much easier. We recommend looking them over carefully to determine whether they need to be replaced. Make sure the rubber is fully intact with no cracks or tears, and listen for unusual scratching or scraping sounds when you turn them on. These are dead giveaways that you need replacements.Wash Your Car

Thanks to mud, salt, and ice melt chemicals on the winter roads, you might find your Hyundai car’s respectable shine a bit spoiled. Not only is this unsightly, but the build-up of dirt and debris also contributes to rust and damage to your car’s undercarriage and other hardware. To avoid these issues, it’s a good idea to give your vehicle a thorough washing as spring rolls in.Visit Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River for Hyundai Service

Winter is around the corner, so how should you prepare your Hyundai vehicle? If you’ve been searching for “Hyundai service near me,” let us at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River save you time and money. Here are some steps to protect your Hyundai car or SUV from the cold elements of winter in Toms River, New Jersey.Check Your Tires

Should you purchase snow tires? In these conditions, you want to have the best traction possible. If you have all-weather tires, they may not be enough to give you really good traction, and slippage can still occur. Don’t forget about the air pressure;  correctly inflated tires will have the best contact between the road and the tire to keep you safe in slick conditions. Check Your Battery

Your car battery is vital to starting your car, but they can lose quite a bit of strength in the cold months if they’re not in top shape. Ensure your battery is in good condition and fully charged, so it won’t leave you stuck in the cold. Check Your Fluids

The fluids in your car may need to be topped off or even changed to prevent issues in the cold. If you run out of wiper fluid, you may lose visibility, and a snowstorm or ice storm could lead to serious trouble. Also, remember to change your windshield wipers so that they aren’t old and cracking and are functioning properly. Another fluid you will want to check is that of your engine coolant. Even though it is cold out, an overheating engine would likely cost you more money in the long run due to expensive engine repairs. Be Prepared for Emergencies

Keep an emergency kit in your car. This kit should contain items like flares, a flashlight, a warming blanket, and maybe a bag of abrasive material that will help give you traction on slick ground. Visit Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River for Hyundai Service

At some point, your car may incur a major repair need. Perhaps it needs a transmission rebuild or a head gasket replacement. Should you proceed with Hyundai repairs at the dealership, or should you trade in the vehicle and purchase or lease a new car? Learn when it’s better to make repairs and when it’s better to move on to a new Hyundai vehicle.When to Make Repairs

If the cost of your repairs is below the value of your vehicle, it’s best to fix the issue, according to Kelley Blue Book (KBB). Go to KBB’s website and enter your vehicle’s information to receive a valuation. In most instances, repair costs won’t exceed the car’s value unless it’s a significantly older model. If you do decide to repair your vehicle, it’s best to make an appointment at the dealership. This way, only OEM parts are used should your vehicle require replacement components. When to Trade in Your Vehicle

Trade in your car if the repair cost exceeds the car’s value or is about the same. There are additional scenarios beyond the cost factor where trading may also be the more desirable option. This includes:• You’re no longer confident in your car’s reliability• Your car is more than 10 years old• You want a vehicle with updated technology• You need a new vehicle to reflect your current situation. For example, you now have kids and need a car with a higher seating capacityWhichever your decision, you should bring your car to Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River. One of our technicians will examine your vehicle and provide a repair estimate. From there, you can decide whether to make repairs or if it’s time to trade it in. If the latter, our dealership provides an assortment of models to choose from, such as the Hyundai Santa Fe or Hyundai Elantra. Contact us today!

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. We perform inspections on all Hyundai models all year round, so don’t delay!

Investing in a Hyundai EV is beneficial in many ways. It’ll eliminate stops to the fuel station altogether. It’ll also minimize your carbon footprint. So, how do you replenish your vehicle? There are actually three ways to charge your EV. These methods are known as level one, level two, and level three charging.Level One Charging

Level one charging is the most common form of charging, and it’s readily available in your own home. This is charging your EV using a standard 110-volt and three-pronged wall outlet. You do not need any special equipment. Just plug your EV to an outlet the way you plug in an appliance. This method, while the most accessible and convenient, is also the slowest. While the time varies between models, it takes an estimated eight hours for every 40-miles of battery range.Level Two Charging

Level two chargers are a unit that you can purchase and install in your garage. Various models are available that range in quality and price range. Most level two chargers provide around 240 volts of power. These chargers supply far more power and can provide around 20 miles of battery range for every one hour of charging.Level Three Charging

A level three charger is also known as a DC fast charger. These consist of the chargers available at public charging stations. These are far more powerful and can usually charge your battery to 80 percent in just 30 to 60 minutes. DC fast chargers are prohibitively expensive to purchase and install in a home, hence why they’re mainly relegated to commercial stations.Visit Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River to see our range of EVs and PHEVs. You only need a level one charger to charge models like the Hyundai Kona Electric. Level two and level three chargers are optional but provide far faster charging times.
