As the colder months approach in North Reading, it's important to make sure your Subaru is ready to handle the challenging winter conditions. By getting some key services done, you can ensure your vehicle delivers the reliable performance, safety and comfort you expect. Here are the top services to prepare your Subaru for winter at North Reading Subaru.
Install a Fresh Set of Winter Tires
One of the most critical services to get your Subaru ready for winter is installing a set of quality winter tires. Driving in Boston's snowy and icy conditions demands tires with specialized tread compounds that remain pliable in freezing temperatures. Winter tires provide the enhanced traction and handling you need to navigate slippery roads with confidence. If your Subaru still has all-season tires, now is the time to swap them out for a winter set in Belmont.
Check the Battery and Charging System
Vehicle batteries have to work extra hard in frigid temperatures. If your Subaru's battery is old or has low capacity, it may not be up to the task of repeated starts in the cold. Avoid getting stranded with a dead battery by having us test yours and replace it if needed. We will also inspect the alternator and other charging system components to verify they are in good working order.
Examine Hoses, Belts and Antifreeze
Cold weather is hard on rubber components like hoses and belts. A cracked radiator hose or snapped serpentine belt can leave you stranded. We will thoroughly examine these parts and replace any that are worn or brittle before they fail. The technicians will also check your antifreeze to make sure it is at the proper concentration to prevent freezing in Belmont.
Verify Heating and Defrosting Systems
There's nothing worse than discovering your heat or defrost isn't working on a bitterly cold day in Medford. Our comprehensive winter service includes testing your Subaru's heating and defrosting systems to confirm they are functioning properly.
