With winter quickly upon us around the Somersworth, NH area, now is a good time to prepare your Subaru vehicle for the cold, snow, and ice. To do so, you must change your vehicle to help withstand the rough conditions. At Tri-City Subaru, we proudly share details about how to prepare your vehicle for winter best.
Winter Preparation Tips
We at Tri-City Subaru encourage Berwick, ME shoppers to bring their vehicles by our dealership for a routine service. This includes changing your vehicle's oil and filter and inspecting vital components. Along with the routine service, it's also a good idea to check the charge of your main vehicle battery. During the winter, the battery must work harder to deliver its charge.
To prevent your car from breaking down with a dead battery, use a battery test to check the charge of the vehicle. If the tester does not pick up an optimal charge from the battery, we recommend you bring it by our dealership near Dover for a battery check and inspection.
Two other important things you can do to prep your vehicle better are lubricating your car doors and windows and topping up your fluids, especially the coolant. Not only does your engine coolant prevent your engine from freezing, but it also protects against corrosion to keep your cooling system in prime shape around Barrington.
Do I need Winter Tires?
If you live in an area with a lot of snow accumulation, we suggest you stop by our dealership to install winter tires. Winter tires use a special compound that resists hardening in ice-cold temperatures. Thus, they provide better traction in icy and snowy conditions. You can also install studded tires if you require tires for driving in a particularly icy area.
Feel free to check our dealership service pages to get the winter service and tires you need. They include:
