Maintenance Tips for Your Unused Hyundai in Baltimore, MD

Maintenance Tips for Your Unused Hyundai in Baltimore, MD

Call Antwerpen Hyundai!

At Antwerpen Hyundai, we know that this day and age means you might not be driving your vehicle much. Without commutes to work, road trips down the coast, and daily errand runs, your automobile might just be gathering dust and lying unused. If this is the case with your set of wheels, we have recommendations you should follow to ensure it stays healthy! Read on for more information.

Parking

The first set of suggestions we have for you revolves around how to park. We recommend positioning your vehicle on flat land and not on an incline if possible, as doing so may require you to overuse your parking brake. This could cause mechanical issues. If you cannot avoid parking on a hill, buy wheel chocks! Next, try and park under a covered lot or garage to avoid paint oxidation from sunlight exposure and any stains from tree saplings falling down. To keep your car protected even when you have to park outside, you may want to purchase a car cover.

Engine and Battery

Next, let’s discuss the mechanisms you will have to maintain. First up is your battery, which as you might know, can die if it is not activated and used every so often. As a general rule, you should turn on your car and take it for a short drive once or twice a week to make sure it is in good condition. Your engine will be fine if unused for a while, but it is a good idea to keep your gas tank filled up. This is for a few reasons. First, it reduces condensation within the gas tank, which can ward off rust. Second, it makes sure that you will not run out of fuel later on, as gas can actually evaporate over time.

Routine Servicing

Our final suggestion is to get routine servicing on your model before you begin driving it again! When you finally return to work or decide to take that cross-country vacation, bringing your model into our Service Department at Antwerpen Hyundai can make sure that all of your components are in tip-top shape. We’ll switch out your windshield wipers, change your air filters, rotate your tires, and much more to ensure that your automobile lasts you for the next year. Make sure to check out our Service Specials and Parts Specials!

We hope that these maintenance tips for your unused Hyundai in Baltimore, MD, are helpful. If you have any questions about our suggestions, reach out to our representatives at Antwerpen Hyundai.

I had the best experience at Antwerpen Hyundai in Catonsville, all thanks to Da-Ja, my sales gal. She was attentive to what I was looking for, if she didn't have an answer to a question I had, she would find out for me, and she was fun. I found the perfect car and was so happy with the whole experience. Thanks also to Jamal and the team. If you are looking for a car, Da-Ja is your girl. You won't be disappointed!

Erica was amazing. She really listened to everything and helped me find the best vehicle to suit my needs. She was uber patient and answered all my questions without making me feel dumb or like an inconvenience. She proves why I’m a Hyundai loyalist, but after this experience I can’t imagine going to any other Hyundai dealership. She is a test image to this brand and this location. If you’re looking for new vehicle, please reach out to Erica, you will not regret working with her.

Deja was AMAZING! She greeted us at the door with a huge smile and made our car buying experience SEAMLESS. This was the best experience we’ve ever had buying a car. From start to finish, she explained everything thoroughly and did not rush us through the process. She got us set up for the free app to kill some time and offered us snacks and drinks to hold us over. TOP SERVICE! We will be recommending her to all of our family and friends. THAT IS HOW YOU DO BUSINESS!
