Summer Maintenance Tips | Royal Moore Subaru

Are you excited because the summer is finally here? If so, please share your enthusiasm. We are Royal Moore Subaru, and we are here to make sure that your vehicle works as well as possible. We understand that you probably have a lot that you want to accomplish this summer, but you need to make sure that your vehicle is ready to go as well. Take a look at a few maintenance tips you need to follow if you want your vehicle to work appropriately, and reach out to us to schedule an appointment with our service center.

1. Swap Out the Air Filters

First, you need to make sure that you swapped out the air filters on time. Your air filters are incredibly important, and you have multiple sets that you need to address. For example, you must make sure that you map out your cabin air filters on time. They are important for trapping pollen, dust, and debris that would otherwise impact the air quality of your car. That way, everyone in your vehicle has a source of clean air.

In addition, you need to make sure that you swap out your engine air filters. Your engine air filters are very important because they ensure that your engine has clean air to work with. If you can prevent dust and debris from infiltrating your engine, you can reduce its wear and tear and improve your gas mileage. 

2. Change the Timing and Serpentine Belts on Time

In addition, you must make sure that you change the timing and serpentine belt on time. Even though these are not parts that need to be swapped out very often, they are not parts that you want to neglect. They are very important for making sure that your car works exactly as it should, and every car has a slightly different maintenance schedule. Our team has the training and experience necessary to make sure that these belts are changed on time. Let us take a look at them for you before you head out for the summer.

3. Get the Transmission Checked

Before you head out on your summer road trip, you also need to ensure that you get your transmission checked. Your transmission is responsible for making sure that your car can change gears smoothly, and our team will help you make sure that your transmission is working appropriately. When your car has to change gears as you get up to speed, you want your car to shift smoothly. That way, your car handles as it should. From time to time, your transmission might need to be adjusted or fixed, and our team can do this for you. 

4. Examine the Battery and Spark Plugs

Finally, you need to check the battery and spark plugs as well. Your battery is important because it is responsible for starting your engine, and you need to make sure your spark plugs are working well to ensure the internal electronic components are behaving appropriately. We will take a look at your battery and make sure it can still hold a charge. Furthermore, you should expect to get between three and five years of use out of your battery. If you feel like your battery is on its last legs, we would be happy to work with you to help you find the right battery for your vehicle. Visit our dealership today to speak to our service center about the options we have for new batteries.
