Subaru Winterization Service in Concord, NH

Our Subaru Winter Services

At our service center serving Laconia, we proudly offer a full range of service maintenance items as part of the winterization process. They include:

• Battery check and test
• Refilling coolant and antifreeze levels
• Examining timing belts and fluid hoses for signs of wear
• Inspecting brakes as well as flushing the brake fluid
• HVAC system check including your heater and defroster
• Checking tire pressure and tread depth
• Inspecting windshield wipers along with refilling wiper fluid

The services mentioned above cover each facet of your vehicle. The most prominent services include your battery, fluids, and tires. During the winter months, your vehicle's main battery is subjected to stress as it tries to power your vehicle. As the vehicle runs, the power drains, leading to your battery eventually dying and needing replacement.

Additionally, your vehicle's fluids will thicken when subjected to cold temperatures. Thus, it will be harder for vehicles to work more optimally. These fluids include your engine oil, as well as your coolant and transmission fluid. Your vehicle's antifreeze helps regulate your engine temperature and keeps the coolant from freezing. Moreover, your transmission and power steering fluid must be checked to prevent shifting and steering problems.

In the snowy or wintry weather, your vehicle's tires give you the security to make it home safely near Hooksett. When your vehicle is here, our certified Subaru technicians will check your vehicle's tire pressures and the tire's tread depth. Along with inspecting your tires, we recommend you consider installing winter tires. Winter tires deliver superior traction over ice and snow.

Winterizing Your Vehicle At Home

To go servicing your vehicle, you can prep your vehicle for Winter right from home. Our Concord area dealership recommends prepping an emergency kit in case the weather gets too cold or you get stuck in a winter storm. This kit should include jumper cables, a first-aid supply bag, a snow shovel, and an ice scraper. Also, keeping water in the vehicle is a good idea to keep you hydrated.

Additionally, our team recommends you routinely wash the exterior to remove salt and other grime. Further, when the opportunity arises, it's a good idea to check your vehicle's wiper blades and replace them if they are not clearing water or snow.
