As the weather gets colder and roads start getting slicker, you'll want your Subaru well-prepared for fall and winter. At Peninsula Subaru in Bremerton WA, we can give your Subaru the fall maintenance checkup it needs to keep you and your family safe as the temperatures start dropping. Yes, Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel drive helps a lot in slippery situations, but your Subaru still needs fall maintenance services like the following.
#1: Let us check your battery
Cold weather causes chemical reactions inside your battery that can mean your starter motor has less energy to work with and cranks more slowly. One of our technicians at Peninsula Subaru can run a load test to check your battery’s voltage. We can clean off battery corrosion build-up to help your battery last longer. If you need a new battery, we can install one now before the cold weather sets in around Silverdale and Bainbridge Island, WA.
#2: Let us check your tires
It's important that your tires all have plenty of tread depth, especially in rainy, winter weather. That gives you better traction even when the roads are wet. We can inspect the tread depth on your tires and also check them for uneven wear, looking for trouble spots like a side bulge or a slow leak. If your tires don't meet our Subaru safety standards, we have a variety of high-quality branded tires in stock and we can install them for you.
#3: Let us check your brakes
Few things matter more than being able to stop safely in icy weather here in the Pacific Northwest. Black ice can be an issue and you want your brakes ready for it. If your brake pads are wearing out, let us replace them early enough and you can avoid having to also replace your more expensive brake rotors. We encourage our neighbors in Port Orchard and Kitsap Peninsula WA to get a fall maintenance checkup at Peninsula Subaru in Bremerton, WA.
