How to Winterize Your Kia Sorento at Classic Kia in Waukegan, IL!

For those of us whose cars are just as unprepared for winter weather as we were, our service team at Classic Kia wants to help you out. If you’ve got a 2020 Kia Sorento, feel free to bring it into our Classic Kia dealership service center to get a quick and easy winterization appointment in so your new Kia Sorento isn’t left out in the cold.

To make things simple, think of Winterization as a slightly more in-depth maintenance appointment. First things first, your fluids and filters need to be checked out, and the certified maintenance pros at our service center will make sure that you’re in peak working order there. Also, we only use original Kia equipment to ensure proper fit and maximum longevity.

From there, we check out the health of your Sorento’s tires. If you’ve been swapping your tires out seasonally, you’ve probably got a set of all-season or summer tires equipped on your new or pre-owned Kia cars. Now it’s time to switch to more suitable snow tires. Summer and all-season tires are designed with thinner and more numerous grooves for more contact on asphalt, but don’t really help when trying to get traction in snow. A snow tire is specifically formulated to perform in cold-weather conditions, with much more aggressive and chunkier treads to allow you to keep your Sorento running smoothly even through dense snow or slippery ice.

So come in today to get your Sorento outfitted and prepared for the cold. Our expert technicians will provide you with the right equipment and the proper tires to help you take the snowy roads and frosty trails with confidence this season. See you soon!
