Summer’s Here…But Is Your Car Ready?

Summer finally arrived in full force—and along with sunny days, warm weather, and legendary adventures and trips calling, you’ll want to make sure your car is ready for the new season. No need to panic though, as today, we’ll let you in on our top five summer car maintenance tips to help your ride cruise in peak condition during the bright and balmy days ahead. Get started today by scheduling your service at the Spitzer Subaru service center in DuBois, PA, to cover all the basics.

Keep Your Cool—Check Your AC

First things first—the summer warmth is always nice and welcome—but not when you’re cruising without air conditioning during a sweltering and muggy afternoon. Thankfully, the fix is as easy as scheduling an AC inspection to help ensure you’re not caught off guard—this is where our team looks for any potential issues and checks your hoses and fans for any damage to help ensure your chilled air flows at its prime—even in triple digits.

Let Your Motor Chill Out: Check Your Coolant Levels

When the weather becomes hot, you’ll want to keep an eye on your engine, as an overheat can lead to a slippery slope of needed repairs, if not destroy your motor entirely. For an easy preventative measure, let our technicians check your coolant level, as this simple fluid helps your motor literally keep its cool and reduce the odds of overheating and leaving you stranded on the side of the road.

Get A Grip: Check Your Tires

To help boost your safety and your ride’s ability to stop on command, you’ll want to make sure your tire tread sits at a healthy level. For a quick check, insert a penny head-first into your tire grooves—can you see the top of Honest Abe’s head? Then it’s time for a new set of tires to help you reduce your odds of fender benders or dangerously sliding through red traffic lights when you need to urgently hit the brakes.

The Secret To “Fluid” Drives: Get An Oil Change

Every 7,500-10,000 miles, you’ll want to schedule an oil change to help your ride cruise in peak condition. Specifically, a Subaru oil change lubricates the finer parts of your engine to help prevent premature wear and tear from metal parts rubbing together. Also, if you plan an epic trip in your Outback or hit the track in your WRX, an oil change will help your powertrain optimally cool with minimal risk of overheating.
