Customers can make sure their vehicle is in top shape for the season by visiting the leading center for Hyundai service in Bellingham for vehicle service. Mechanics at the service center can easily perform all the following steps to ensure that all vehicles are safe.

A car not starting isn’t fun at any time, but it’s even less fun in the freezing cold. Have the battery and charging system checked by a local mechanic, who can ensure its connections are clean, tight and corrosion free or replace the battery if it is more than three years old.

Brakes, of course, should be checked given how important they become on icy or snow-covered roads.

Also with control in mind, Seattle Hyundai drivers should take the time to check tire tread depth and tire pressure. Tire pressure should actually be checked weekly during the winter as it can fall as much as a pound per square inch with every 10-degree drop in temperature. Owners should also consider special tires to grip slick roads in especially snowy areas.

As always, changing the oil at recommended intervals is important, but dirty oil can be even more of a problem in winter. A switch to low viscosity oil is often a smart choice, as it can easily flow, even at cold temperatures.

Finally, to maintain the best possible visibility, antifreeze and wiper blades need to be replaced. Antifreeze should be flushed out and refilled every two years in most vehicles. Having trouble seeing through the wind shield? Wiper blades tend to be used more in the winter, and drivers often forget to have them replaced as often as they should. These parts can be picked up at the parts department at the Seattle Hyundai dealership and service center.

Used Car Dealer in Seattle WA Explains Importance of Front End Alignment

The service technicians at the Seattle used car dealers of Rairdon Auto Group say that regular front end alignments, or wheel alignments as they are also called, can help extend the life of tires as well as keep a vehicle running safely. Rairdon Auto Group has a fully equipped tire service center to replace or repair tires that have worn down due to improper wheel alignments. The service technicians can also perform wheel alignments to help extend the life of healthy tires.

Rairdon Auto Group service technicians recommend that Seattle used car owners come in for balancing and rotating of tires every 12,000 miles (approximately every four oil changes) to ensure even tire wear and extend tread life. There are simple tests consumers can perform to determine whether or not their vehicle needs a wheel alignment.

Seattle used car drivers can check for proper wheel alignment by checking their steering wheel and tire positioning. When the car is in motion, it should drive straight ahead if the driver lets go of the steering wheel. If the car ‘pulls’ to one side or the other, most likely a wheel alignment is needed (*do not perform this test while driving at high speeds or when other cars are present).

Another way to check to see if tires need alignment is to inspect the tires for wear and tear. A car that is properly aligned will have tires that will have about the same amount of wear on the treads. If one front tire shows more tread wear than the other front tire, the driver should get an alignment. The same test should be performed for the rear tires.

Worn out tired can be a huge safety concern for drivers. To keep drivers, passengers and pedestrians safe, Rairdon service centers proudly offer complimentary tire inspections each time consumers visit one of their service locations. The inspections measure tread wear of tires to ensure that they are safe.

Seattle used car drivers who need to replace worn out tires can also turn to Rairdon for competitive prices on many tire brands. Tires purchased from Rairdon receive free rotations, free flat repair and inspections.
