In Jeremy Clarkson's words, "Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you." But at New Motors Subaru, our team of factory-trained technicians would add in, "In Erie, Pennsylvania, it's not speed or sudden stops that get you, it's being unprepared for the fall season."
Autumn, with its rather charming weather, can catch Subaru owners off-guard. Unlike the gauntlet of a Nurburgring lap, the challenge here is more of falling leaves, unpredictable rain, and the occasional early snowfall. It's not as exciting as a power slide in a rally car, but it's our reality, and we have to prepare for it.
First and foremost, it’s crucial to check your vehicle's battery. Cold weather can be a bit of a diva when it comes to batteries, so ensure yours is in peak condition.
Your Subaru's tires also deserve a good look. Ensure they're ready to grip the road even when it's slippery with wet leaves or early frost. And don't forget about the fluids - oil, coolant, and even washer fluid all require regular checks and top-ups.
Here are some maintenance tips to get your Subaru ready for Autumn:
-
- Check your battery and replace it if necessary.
-
- Ensure tires have proper tread depth and pressure.
-
- Regularly check and top-up all vehicle fluids.
-
- Replace windshield wipers to tackle heavy rain and early snow.
-
- Have your brakes inspected and serviced.
While we can't promise that preparing your Subaru for the fall season will be as thrilling as a hot lap around the Top Gear Test Track, it will undoubtedly provide you with the peace of mind you need to enjoy the beautiful fall season in Erie, Pennsylvania.
So swing by New Motors Subaru today and ensure your vehicle is as ready as it can be to face the challenges of the season. After all, in the wise words of Clarkson, "You can't be a true petrolhead until you've had a car that's truly reliable."
