Get Your Genesis Ready For Summer

The sun is shining and temperatures are getting warmer, which means it’s officially springtime, a time to get your car ready for spring driving and summer road trips.

April is National Car Care Month. It’s also the time of year to give your car some extra attention to take care of any issues that may have occurred or been ignored during the cold, wintery months.

Genesis of Schaumburg recommends five basic maintenance procedures to keep your car operating at its best.

Check the Oil, Filters, and Fluids

An oil change is one of the most essential and frequent services for your automobile. We recommend getting your Genesis oil and filter changed every 3,000-5,000 miles. Brake, transmission, power steering, coolant, and windshield washer fluids should be regularly checked.

Check Tire Pressure and Wheel Alignment

Frequently rotate your tires to prevent uneven tread wear and make sure to check for any bulges, bald spots or incorrect tire pressure.

A wheel alignment may also be recommended. This will extend the life of your tires and improve fuel economy and handling. Don’t let your vehicle go more than 10,000 miles without having someone check the alignment.

Check Brake System

Servicing your brakes is a necessary part of your Genesis vehicle maintenance. The snowy conditions might have caused you to hit your brakes more often than usual.

If your brakes are acting weird, making a grinding noise, shuddering, a brake warning light is on or they’re just not working right, it’s best to call us at 847-230-8231 or click here to schedule your Genesis brake inspection.

Check the Battery

Make sure your vehicle’s battery connections are clean, tight, corrosion-free & securely mounted. If your battery is over 3 years old, be sure to get it tested and replaced if necessary.
