Treat Your Kia to Quality Winter Maintenance in Mid-Michigan

Temperatures are dropping in mid-Michigan, and this means it’s time to start getting your family’s Kia ready for the impending winter. From the chilly temperatures to snow and ice covering the roads, there is plenty you need to have your vehicle ready for. Fortunately, you can trust the Service Department staff at Thelen Kia in Bay City to get your vehicle ready for the less-than-ideal conditions. Between our trained technicians and access to numerous OEM Kia parts and other Kia-recommended resources, we are confident that we can get your family cruiser ready for the potentially tough winter driving conditions you could face. 

What Winter Services Should You Consider for Your Kia?

Routine Maintenance – Having your vehicle looked at completely by our technicians is a great way to stay on top of any potential issues. These can range from low or old oil to a potentially corroding battery. When you schedule an appointment with Thelen Kia for a routine maintenance service, our staff will be happy to give your vehicle a complete set of diagnostic tests and evaluations. If we notice anything that needs to be addressed, we will make sure you are aware of it so that you can have complete clarity on what is going on with your vehicle. 

Winter Tire Installation – Thelen Kia would like to suggest that if you want the safest winter travel possible this upcoming season, you should strongly consider fitting winter tires to your Kia. These tires are designed to maximize the grip you have on conditions such as snow and ice. They are also made of a special rubber compound that ensures that they stay softer when the temperatures really start getting cold. This means more tire stays in contact with the road to amplify the overall handling performance of the tires while on slippery driving surfaces.
