Prepare for the Change of Seasons

It’s no secret that the fall and winter weather in the Cleveland area gets cold, and the roads become slippery. Before the temperatures change, it’s a good idea to get your Hyundai vehicle ready for fall.

Our car maintenance tips for fall involve basic maintenance, and the factory-trained and certified technicians at Spitzer Hyundai Cleveland can take care of them before the temperatures drop and fall arrives.

Check Your Battery

If you’ve Hyundai has 50,000 miles or more, it’s time for a battery check. Our technicians can inspect your battery, clean the terminals, and give you an idea of its remaining life span. This fall car maintenance tip can prevent your Hyundai battery from dying and leaving you stranded when the temperatures drop.

Change the Oil

Season changes are always a good time to get a routine oil change. Unless you have a fully electric Hyudian vehicle, your car, truck, or SUV needs new oil and oil filters every 6,000 to 10,000 miles.

This car care tip keeps your engine running smoothly and can extend the life of your Hyundai. Remember that you get the Hyundai complimentary maintenance program that includes free oil changes and tire rotations for the first three years or 36,000 miles.

Maintain Safety and Visibility

Fall is the perfect time to inspect your Hyundai’s safety features. Our Hyundai maintenance technicians can check your tire pressure and tread depth to determine if your tires will be safe when the rain and snow make the Cleveland area roads slippery.

We also highly recommend checking your windshield wiper blades and replacing them if they aren’t working well. You’ll appreciate having clear visibility through your windshield in the fall and winter.

While your Hyundai has exceptional driver-assistive and safety features, the most important safety features are your four brakes. As fall approaches, we recommend having your brakes inspected. Our technicians can check your brake fluid, pads, and rotors. You’ll want your brakes in tip-top shape so you can stop on slippery roads.

Stay Warm When the Weather Gets Cold

Your owner’s manual also recommends checking your heating and cooling system. Fall is the perfect time to check that your heater and defroster are functioning properly. Our technicians can check the compressor, fan, and other components connected to your Hyundai’s ventilation system. We also recommend changing your cabin air filter, as it picks up pollen and dust during the spring and summer.
