The first hard frost in central New Jersey rarely announces itself, and you feel it the moment your engine hesitates. Booking Genesis service in early fall keeps winter from deciding your mornings. The team at Genesis of Brunswick builds the visit to prepare for what cold does to your vehicle.
Cold Weather Drains Your Battery Fast
A fully charged battery loses roughly 35% of its strength at 32 degrees and 60% at zero, according to AAA, while a cold start draws up to twice the normal current. If yours has been in service three years or longer, a load test takes minutes. Corroded terminals and dimming headlights are worth mentioning when you book.
Tire Pressure Drops as Temperatures Fall
Tire pressure falls one to two psi for every 10-degree drop in temperature, so the set you aired up in summer is already soft by the first freeze. Underinflated tires give up grip on wet pavement and wear unevenly. You’ll also want to make sure your tread depth is ready to handle slick roads.
Fluids and Maintenance Follow a Set Schedule
Genesis maintenance intervals vary by model and model year. Before winter hits, ask our service team to review your vehicle’s mileage and maintenance history so any due or upcoming services can be completed at the same visit. We can check important fluids like coolant before temps drop, and we’ll make sure that you have winter-rated windshield-washer fluid and wiper blades installed.
