subaru seasonal maintenance los angeles

Maintaining your Subaru is not just about how many miles you drive in a given year, or how long you have owned your vehicle. Beyond your basic maintenance, paying attention to seasonal Subaru maintenance is key to ensuring your vehicle is in top condition for every ride. Your Los Angeles Subaru dealer has everything you need to make sure you have the best ride, no matter the season.

 

Spring

What do warming temperatures and wet spring weather mean for the maintenance of your vehicle? Make sure to check tire pressure, as the difference in temperatures can cause your tire pressure to fluctuate. With wet spring weather, you’ll want to make sure to replace your wiper blades and get your brakes and suspension components inspected. Replacing the cabin air filter can help mitigate allergies from spring pollen counts. And lastly, get your oil changed to start the spring season off fresh.

Summer

Hot weather can be really tough on your vehicle, so prioritizing vehicle maintenance is key. Make sure your air conditioning is running smoothly and prevent overheating by ensuring your coolant system is adequately filled and functioning properly. Get your battery inspected for heat related wear and damage. Have your belts, hoses, and other plastic components checked for heat damage, or basic wear and tear.

Fall

Cooling temperatures can be a relief after those hot summer days, and it signals the time for a pre-winter prep for your Subaru. Get your heating systems and defroster checked to ensure they are running properly. Get your battery tested and replaced if needed, as battery performance can decline in cold weather. Always make sure to get your tires tread inspected for depth to ensure they have proper grip on wet or icy roads.

Winter

The extreme cold temperatures of winter are especially tough on your vehicle. Switch to winter tires if you live in areas normally impacted by snow and ice, or check the condition of your all-season tires. Ensure your antifreeze levels are adequate to help regulate engine temperature. Get your heating systems inspected to ensure they are working properly. Check your lights and replace dim or non-functioning bulbs to ensure a safe drive on low-visibility days.
