AS Springtime arrives at Capital City Subaru, our service team is gearing up for a season's worth of repairs and services for vehicles around the local area. To help prepare you and your vehicle for the changing conditions, we share some helpful tips to keep your vehicle on the road rather than off it.
Feel free to contact our dealership if you have any questions about the services we offer. You can also contact us if you would like to schedule a service for your prized vehicle.
Checking Your Wiper Blades and Vehicle Filters
As plants start sprouting all along the Hooksett area, so does the oncoming flood of pollen in the air. Aside from being an annoying allergy for some, it also gets sucked into your engine. To help keep your engine, oil, and cabin clear of pollen and other particulates, it's a good idea to check your vehicle's filters.
Over time, these filters become saturated. If you notice the engine is not performing its best or there is a funny smell in the cabin, replacing the filters is a good idea. Thus, you can look forward to having a healthy and clean engine with a clean cabin.
While checking your vehicle's filters, our service recommends that you check and replace your wiper blades. In Spring, it is expected that rain showers and storms will pop up all around the Loudon area. With the rain and the last snowfall, having good wiper blades goes a long way to keeping your windshield clean. If you notice your wiper blades squeaking or streaks on your windshield, we recommend you replace the blades.
Inspecting Your Engine Oil and Vital Vehicle Fluids
After the cold and unforgiving winter around the Tilton, your vehicle's fluids have been subjected to harsh conditions. Take your oil and engine coolant, for instance. In the biting cold of winter, both fluids work double time to ensure your vehicle performs as it should to get you to your destination. When inspecting your vehicle, if you notice your dipstick and or coolant reservoir is low, it's a good time to go ahead and bring your vehicle in for an oil or coolant service.
Along with the two fluids above, other vehicle fluids may require your attention. They consist of:
- Windshield wiper fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Differential fluid
- Brake fluid
- Transmission fluid
Tire and Suspension Service
If you live around the Laconia area, chances are you may have bolted-on winter or studded tires on your vehicle in snow and icy conditions. As the weather warms, there's no longer a need to keep winter tires on your vehicle. We recommend you switch to all-season or summer times for a fun weekend trip. If you opt to keep your regular tires on your vehicles, we encourage you to check their tread and tire pressures so they are in good working condition.
Along with inspecting your tires, scheduling a tire rotation service is good. Our experienced service team will fully inspect your tires and suspension. If our team sees that your tires are worn or worn unevenly from running over a pothole or other road bumper, we'll need to perform a tire alignment and replace your vehicle's tires. Thus, once your tires are aligned, you can look forward to your vehicle running straight and enjoying a long service life.
