With the winter weather approaching quickly, you are probably thinking about what you need to do to make sure your vehicle is ready to go. We are C&S Subaru, and a member of our team is always here to help you take care of your vehicle. We know that you have a lot of questions about the winter weather, and we are here to answer them for you. Take a look at some of the most important maintenance tips you need to follow, and reach out to our team today to schedule an appointment.


1. Check the Battery

First, you must make sure that you check the battery. Your battery may have a difficult time holding a charge in the middle of the winter, and you need to make sure that you start your car every time you turn the key. You don't want to be stuck on the side of the road with a dead battery. You should expect your battery to last between three and five years. If your battery is getting close to the end of its life, the winter weather might preclude it from holding a charge. Let us take a look at your battery to ensure it can still hold a charge in the middle of the winter. If you need a new battery for your car, we can help you find a new one.


2. Replace Your Windshield Wiper Blades

You should also consider replacing your windshield wiper blades in the middle of the winter. You may not realize just how important your windshield wipers are for keeping your windshield clean. Even though your windshield wiper blades might do enough to remove rain water from your windshield, they will not necessarily do enough to help you remove winter weather. If you are looking for windshield wiper blades that will work well during the winter, we can help you with that. Count on our team to help you find the right windshield wipers for your needs.

3. Change Your Oil

When was the last time you changed your oil? In general, you should change your oil at least once per year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. If your oil level is getting a bit low, it may drop even further during the winter. When the temperature gets cold outside, oil will naturally contract in your vehicle. You might not have the same oil level you think you do, and it would be our pleasure to help you check your oil level and change it for you. If you are curious about what the best oil is for your vehicle during the winter, a member of our team would be happy to help you. Reach out to the team from C&S Subaru to make an appointment.


4. Consider Getting New Tires

Depending on where you go during the winter, you might need to get new tires as well. Your tires may have a difficult time maintaining solid traction between your vehicle and the pavement. You might need to get some winter weather tires that will make sure you don't slip and slide on the snow and ice. Do not forget that your tire pressure will naturally drop during the winter, so you might want to reach out to our team for help inflating your winter tires. Let us help you make sure that your tires will work well this winter, and allow us to check your tires to make sure they are properly inflated. Our team is always here to help you.
