As the seasons change, so do the maintenance needs of your vehicle. Seasonal auto service is essential to keep your car running smoothly and reliably, no matter the weather conditions. At Keith Hawthorne Hyundai of Gastonia, our service center offers a full range of seasonal maintenance to get your vehicle ready for summer, winter, and everything in between.
Why Seasonal Service Matters
Seasonal vehicle maintenance is all about prevention and preparation. By getting your car serviced for the upcoming season, you can avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. Regular seasonal service also helps extend the life of your vehicle and maintain its performance, safety, and fuel efficiency.
Weather can take a toll on critical vehicle components and systems. In Gastonia, our hot summers can put extra strain on your cooling system and AC. Our service team will make sure your car is ready to beat the heat.

Types of Seasonal Auto Service
At our dealership near Hickory, NC, we see all four seasons and recommend tailoring your vehicle's maintenance to the time of year. Some key types of seasonal auto service include:
- Oil and Filter Change - Regular oil changes are important in any season to keep your engine running clean and cool. Our technicians will change your oil and filter to the grade your vehicle and upcoming weather conditions need.
- Tire Care - Your tires are your car's only connection to the road. We'll make sure they are properly inflated for the temperature, rotated and aligned for even wear, and have sufficient tread for traction in rain and snow.
- Wiper Blade Replacement - Old, brittle, or cracked wiper blades won't keep your windshield clear in spring and summer storms. We'll install new blades to provide streak-free visibility.
- Cooling System Service - Seasonal maintenance for your cooling system includes checking the radiator, belts, and hoses for leaks or damage, as well as flushing and replacing the antifreeze to keep your engine running at the optimal temperature.
- Brake Service - Before winter sets in around Shelby, NC, let our technicians inspect your brakes to make sure they are ready for icy roads and sudden stops. We'll check your pads, rotors, drums, brake fluid, and more.
- Battery Test - Cold weather is notorious for weakening batteries. We'll test your battery's health and charging system to avoid being stranded with a dead battery.
- AC Check - There's no overstating the importance of AC when summer reaches Clover, SC. Our AC service will keep you cool and comfortable by checking for proper refrigerant levels and any leaks that need repairing.
- Air Filter Replacement - A clean air filter helps your engine breathe easy and operate efficiently. We recommend replacing it seasonally to allow for optimal air flow.
