How to Prep Your Subaru for Summer Adventures

The first step in caring for your car is getting an oil change! In many ways, a regular oil change is the foundation of your general car maintenance, and this is especially true in the summer months. Typically, many mechanics recommend that you get an oil change every 7,500 miles. However, if you're driving in extreme heat, doing lots of off-roading or towing, or simply driving your car more often than normal, then you'll want to schedule your oil change before the 7,500-mile mark. Changing your oil will lubricate your engine and make sure everything runs smoothly, and it will also prevent any excess friction that might cause your car to overheat! For all these reasons and more, an oil change is the perfect way to get your car ready for your next adventure this summer!

Your tires take on a lot of wear and tear, especially if you enjoy exploring off-road trails! During summer, the heat of the pavement can cause additional wear on your tire, and more frequent trips will cause your tire treads to wear down faster. For this reason, it's important to keep up with your regular tire rotations. During a tire rotation, your mechanic will move each tire to a new position on your vehicle, so that each one gets the same amount of wear. Another factor to be aware of during the summer is your tire pressure. Changing temperatures can have an effect on your tire pressure, so even tires that were once at the correct pressure may be off once the temperatures rise. Here at Reedman-Toll Subaru, our on-site service center can help you out with tire rotations, inflations, and more! Plus, we can also equip your Subaru with all-terrain or all-weather tires so that you can take on your next adventure with confidence.

As we all know, summer is the warmest time of the year. There's nothing worse than getting caught without an air conditioner on a hot summer's day. Before summer is officially upon us, be sure to have your air conditioning inspected to make sure that it's in great condition and ready to go for summer! You can have the electrical components of your air conditioning inspected to ensure that they're in excellent working order. Plus, our mechanics will be able to change out your air conditioning filter so that the air inside your cabin stays fresh and clean! While driving with the windows down is always an option, nothing beats the crisp, cool air from the A/C on a hot day! Plus, driving with your windows down can create excess air resistance and affect your gas mileage. Get your air conditioning ready to go here at Reedman-Toll Subaru!
