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

Hyundai accessories can help make your vehicle the perfect space for pets. You can conveniently order accessories online or at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River anytime. Stop in to get started 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

We are so excited to help you upgrade to your first Hyundai EV. Visit us at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River to peruse our inventory and shop with our team today!

To help protect our planet, many drivers are making the electric switch. Since they’re better for the environment, many qualify for tax credits to help incentivize buyers. Keep in mind that there are stipulations if you’re considering a Hyundai EV from Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River. Updated EV Tax Credit Terms

With the new Inflation Reduction Act, new rules apply to qualify for a $7,500 EV tax credit. In addition to other restrictions, vehicles must be assembled in North America to qualify, and a certain percentage of the battery’s components must also be produced or manufactured in North America. Leased Vehicle Tax Credit

The foreign-assembly restriction does not apply to leased vehicles since they qualify for a commercial credit that the dealership can claim. Hyundai is passing on these savings to the consumer in the form of lower lease payments at each of our Hyundai EV dealers. Used Vehicle Tax Credit

Used vehicles are also eligible for a tax credit. You must purchase an EV priced under $25,000 from a licensed dealer to qualify. The credit is equal to up to 30 percent of the price of the vehicle, with a $4,000 maximum. Are There New Jersey Incentives?

Until recently, New Jersey offered incentives to spur EV purchases. The program is currently paused for the 2023 fiscal year, but should that change, our finance team will ensure you’re informed of every incentive for which you may qualify. Although the EV incentive is paused, you can still qualify for a $250 rebate on the purchase of an eligible in-home charger. Shop Our Hyundai EVs Today

Want to take advantage of these tax credits? We encourage you to stop by Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River to shop our extensive selection of Hyundai electric vehicles. We’d love to help you upgrade today!

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
