Maintaining your vehicle should always be high on your list of priorities. At Ewing Subaru of Plano, the service technicians are ready to schedule your service checks whenever they come due. Their ultimate goal is to help you keep your Subaru running as good as the day you picked it up from the dealership. In order to do that you have to take care of each system so it continues to function at its best.
When it comes to your brakes and tires, a thorough inspection should be performed every time you bring your vehicle in for an oil change. The service tech can check your brake fluid and pads making sure both are in good shape. They will also check your tires for any visible signs of wear and rotate them if necessary.
Depending on the type of oil you use, you will need to come in for an oil change every 3,000 miles (conventional oil), 5,000 (semi-synthetic) or 7,500 miles (full synthetic). The service techs will also change your oil filter and do a fluids check, topping off any that may be running low.
Another maintenance check to have performed on a regular basis is a battery inspection and test. During a battery inspection, the service tech will check your battery for any potential leaks. They will also check both the terminals/posts and the battery cables. If either of these come loose, it can make it extremely difficult for your car’s engine to hold a charge resulting in difficult starts and poor performance.
It’s also essential to have your transmission checked on a regular basis as well. In most newer Subaru models, the transmission is sealed so you need to go to a dealership to have it properly serviced. This ensures that it will continue to run its best and will keep you moving down the road.
