While winters in Florida are relatively mild compared to other parts of the country, it's still important to prepare your vehicle for the cooler temperatures ahead. At Regal Kia, our service experts can help ensure your Kia is in top shape to handle the winter months. A little preventative maintenance now can save you from bigger headaches down the road. Visit our Kia service center in Lakeland, FL for all your winter maintenance needs.
Prepare Your Vehicle for Winter
Battery
One of the most important things you can do to get your car ready for winter is to check your battery. Cooler temperatures can affect battery performance. Don't become stranded in Winter Haven this winter; bring your Kia to Regal Kia and we'll test your battery to make sure it has enough cranking power and hold a charge.
Tires
Your tires are another critical component, especially if you plan on taking any road trips beyond Brandon this winter. Examine your tires for proper tread depth and inflation. Cooler air can cause tire pressure to drop, so it's a good idea to check them regularly. If you need new tires, the service team at Regal Kia can help you find the right set for your vehicle and driving needs.
Key Winter Service Items
We recommend that Kia owners from Bloomingdale, FL and the surrounding areas have their fluid levels checked. Key fluids include engine oil, coolant, power steering, brake, and transmission fluid. These fluids will help your Kia run smoothly all season. Our technicians can top off any low fluids and check for leaks.
Visibility & Warmth
Visibility is crucial when winter precipitation begins to fall, so don't forget about your wiper blades. If they're leaving streaks or smears on your windshield, it's probably time for a new set. We stock wiper blades for all Kia models at our Lakeland service center. Ask about getting your heater and defrosters checked, too. You'll be glad you did on that first frosty morning in Haines City.
Stay Safe with Winter Driving Tips
In addition to keeping up with vehicle maintenance, brushing up on your winter driving skills is smart. Slow down and leave extra following distance on slick roads around Winter Haven and Davenport. Brake gently to avoid skidding, especially on bridges and overpasses around Lake Wales that tend to freeze before other surfaces.
