At Ken Ganley Kia of Alliance, we’re here to help you prepare with expert tips and services designed to keep your Kia running strong all season long. 1.

Inspect Your Tires (and Consider Winter Tires) Tires are your first line of defense on snowy or icy roads.

Test Your Heater and Defrosters Nothing’s worse than stepping into a freezing car and discovering your heat isn’t working. Now’s the time to: Make sure your cabin heater is blowing hot air Check that front and rear defrosters are working properly Top off antifreeze and coolant levels Let us inspect your heating and HVAC system so you stay comfortable and safe this winter. 4. Replace Wiper Blades and Fill Washer Fluid Visibility is critical during winter storms. To stay safe: Replace worn or streaky wiper blades Use winter-grade windshield washer fluid that won’t freeze Keep an extra bottle of washer fluid in your vehicle for emergencies We can help install new blades and top off fluids in minutes. 5. Keep Up with Oil Changes and Fluid Checks Cold weather can thicken engine oil, making it harder for your vehicle to start and run efficiently. Make sure: You’re up to date on oil and filter changes Brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid are checked Coolant and antifreeze are topped off and mixed properly for winter Routine winter maintenance keeps your vehicle running smoothly in extreme conditions. 6. Pack a Winter Emergency Kit Even with great maintenance, it’s smart to prepare for the unexpected.
