Maintenance Tips for Your Unused Vehicle in Paramus, NJ

Maintenance Tips for Your Unused Vehicle in Paramus, NJ

It’s common that, for one reason or another, one of the cars that you own is left undriven for some time. Perhaps it’s a sports car that you are only limited to using throughout Paramus during the summer months, or it’s an older model that is only driven occasionally by a younger member of the family. Regardless of the case, we at Paramus Hyundai recommend that you turn to this guide provided to you by us to maintain your unused vehicle!

Tire Maintenance

Though it may not seem like the case when your vehicle isn’t being driven down the Garden State Parkway, its tires will naturally lose pressure even if it is stationary. It’s recommended that you make a habit of checking on the status of their inflation levels on a monthly basis to prevent them from deflating. It’s also recommended that you occasionally take the vehicle out on short trips to Faber Park to prevent the formation of flat spots, which occur if the model has remained rooted to the same spot for too long. 

Exterior Care

Regardless if your sparsely driven IONIQ 5 model will remain within a garage or be parked outside, it’s imperative that you keep its outer shell clean to maintain its sheen and as well as a means of preventative care. If your situation is more in line with the latter scenario, investing in a quality car cover will keep its exterior mostly  free of damage that could be incurred by salt, bird droppings, UV rays, rain, and hail. And if your vehicle is stored within the confines of a garage, you should still wipe off the thick coating of dust that can form overtop of it after it’s been idle for a little while. Doing so will give you a sense of pride once it’s time to put the vehicle back through its paces once again and it still shines proudly. Our staff have more tips on how to keep your model clean!

Fluid Checks

Preferably, before you plan to have your PALISADE sit stationary for a period of time, you should schedule an appointment with our Service Department to make sure that its fluid levels are adequate. This is especially true of your oil and coolant, where the former can eventually accumulate enough moisture to negatively affect its quality. And even if a vehicle is left sitting for an indeterminate amount of time, it’s still prone to leaks. It’s recommended that you periodically check the undercarriage and make note of any moisture that accumulates from underneath your car. If you discover some, don’t panic, simply reach out to us so that our well-versed technicians can properly diagnose the cause of the issue and repair it.

I had a really great experience purchasing our Tucson and Santa Fe thanks to Steven at Hyundai! I would say from the moment I walked in, but he greeted me in the parking lot and was friendly, knowledgeable, and never made me feel pressured. He took the time to answer all of my questions, listened to what I was looking for, and helped me find the perfect vehicle (over and over again after changing my mind on the different trims loll). Steven made a usually stressful experience, very easy and enjoyable. His professionalism, honesty, and determination to get me the exact car I wanted, made me feel heard and respected. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about helping you and providing excellent customer service, I highly recommend asking for Steven. Thank you Steven for making my car-buying experience such a positive one!!! Make sure you ask for Steven Polanco - he truly is the best!

I recently bought a pre-owned 2023 Hyundai Tucson from Paramus Hyundai. We worked with Rey Burgos. We found the car online and scheduled an appointment. Rey and his team were great throughout the entire process, including working out financing numbers that hit our budget. I highly recommend visiting Rey and the team at Hyundai Paramus!
