Service & Parts
Now is the time to prepare your vehicle for Winter Driving!
Here are a few tips from your Kindle family to help you be ready. Be sure to call our service department to set up your appointment.
Brakes: Check them. Your pads could be worn, your rotors cracked or warped, and your calipers weak. If you’ve never checked, take your vehicle to the dealership.
Tires: If yours are smooth, get new ones. Or better ones. If yours are fine, make sure they’re properly inflated, or that tread wear is even, not favoring any one area. If you live in an area that gets truly heavy snow, consider investing in a set of snow tires.
Battery: Open the hood and look at it. If you see weird and chalky growth formations, have the connections cleaned. If your ride has a hard time starting, consider replacing your battery since, “Summer heat does the most damage to battery life and is why they often fail in the winter.”
Wiper Blades: You can’t drive well if you can’t see the road. If yours don’t work well, replacement is an easy and affordable change you can believe in.
Shocks and Struts: Your butt is thankful for these suspension parts. So, if you dread potholes, have unusually bouncy wheels, or just want to go slow and low (that is the tempo), consider replacing your worn out struts.
Engine Oil: Viscosity matters. Fortunately, you don’t need to know what that means. Just stay current on oil changes.
Other Fluids: Top off your fluids. Or have someone else do it for you. This includes coolant, brakes, transmission, power steering, and yes, windshield washer fluid, too.
Belts and Hoses: What’s that squeal? Don’t know—? Then get it checked out. Worn, cracked, or frayed belts and hoses can lead to more expensive problems, like engine failure.
Air Filter: These are like surgical masks, filtering out harmful stuff. Just like how you wouldn’t want to catch avian flu, your engine doesn’t want to breathe dirt, moisture and roadside debris. If your filter is dirty or clogged, get a new one. They’re another one of those easy and affordable changes you can believe in.
Headlamps and Tail lamps: You want to see and be seen, right? Start your car. Place transmission in park, or neutral, and pull the e-brake. Turn on lights
