Do you think it might be time for another wheel alignment? If so, we can help you. We are Royal Moore Subaru, and we want to make sure that you take care of your vehicle. If you do not take care of your car, you increase your chances of having to deal with a repair, which may also shorten the life of your engine. One of the most important maintenance checks you have to do from time to time is a wheel alignment. What is a wheel alignment, and what are some of the signs that could indicate it is time for your next one? Count on the team from Royal Moore Subaru to help you. What Is a Wheel Alignment? When you point your steering column straight ahead, you expect all of your wheels the point in the same direction as well. Unfortunately, there are some situations where that might not happen. That is a sign that you may need a wheel alignment. During a wheel alignment, we will measure the degree of alignment of all of your individual wheels. If any of your wheels are off, we will move them into the right location. A wheel alignment is important because it can significantly improve your handling, helping you get more miles out of every gallon. In contrast, if you do not perform a wheel alignment from time to time, you could cause your tires to wear out more quickly. How do you know it is time for your next wheel alignment? Your Car Is Pulling One of the most common signs that you need another wheel alignment is that your car is pulling from side to side. When you point your steering column straight ahead, your car should drive straight down the road. If that is not happening, it is a sign that your wheels might not be properly aligned. It would be our pleasure to help you with that. We will take a look at the positions of your wheels, make sure they point in the same direction, and prevent your car from pulling from side to side. This can reduce your chances of being involved in a motor vehicle accident. Your Gas Mileage Is Dropping If you feel like your gas mileage is dropping, this is another sign that you need a wheel alignment. Because your wheels are not properly aligned, there is more friction between your tire down the road. This is taking a bite out of your gas mileage, which can also cause the bottom to fall out of your wallet. We know that gas is getting more expensive, and you might be looking for a way to improve your gas mileage. If that is the case, allow us to perform a wheel alignment. We can help you get more miles out of every tank of gas. Your Tires Wear Unevenly Finally, if you find that your tires are wearing out more quickly than they should, it could be a sign that you need a wheel alignment. When you come to us for a tire rotation, we can perform a wheel alignment at the same time. If your wheels are not properly aligned, the pressure is not being distributed evenly across the tires. This means that some of your tires are wearing out faster than they should, and you might have to replace them prematurely. If you want to save money on tires, make sure you get as many miles out of them as possible. You can do so by aligning your wheels from time to time. Call Royal Moore Subaru To Make an Appointment At Royal Moore Subaru, we are here to not only help you find the right vehicle but also to help you take care of it. If you are in the market for a new car, it would be our pleasure to help you find your next ride. If you already have one, allow us to help you get as many miles out of your car as possible.

It goes without saying that an oil change is probably the most important service you can perform on your car. New oil helps to keep your engine clean and running smoothly, while old oil can cause all sorts of problems. Since an oil change is so common, our team at Royal Moore Subaru often gets many questions because people want to make sure they are doing it correctly. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about oil changes! How Often Should I Change My Oil? This is probably the most common question we get asked, and unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The first factor that determines the frequency of changes is what type of oil your car uses. New cars often come with synthetic oil, which can last much longer than traditional oil. However, even if you have synthetic oil, it's still a good idea to change it every 5,000 miles or so. Conventional oil typically lasts about 3,000 miles because it breaks down faster. However, if you drive in stop-and-go traffic or under extreme weather conditions, you may need to change your oil more frequently. What Are Oil Changes Important? You can think of an oil change as the heartbeat of your car. New oil helps to keep all the moving parts in your engine well-lubricated, which prevents friction and wear. Old oil, on the other hand, can cause a lot of problems. It can lead to engine sludge, which can clog up your engine and cause it to overheat. You should never ignore an oil change because it can cause some serious damage to your car down the road. How Much Does an Oil Change Cost? The cost of an oil change will vary depending on the type of oil you use and the make and model of your car. However, you can typically expect to pay between $30 and $60 for oil changes. Synthetic blends or fully synthetic oil costs more because it lasts longer. However, it's important to remember that an oil change is a preventative measure that can save you money in the long run by avoiding more serious and expensive repairs. How Often Should I Check My Oil Levels? It's a good idea to check your oil level every month. It's easy to check. All you need to do is open the hood of your car and pull out the dipstick. Wipe it off with a clean cloth, re-insert it, and then pull it out again to check the oil level. If your oil is low, add more until it reaches the full line on the dipstick. How Do I Know When I Need An Oil Change? Other than just knowing the interval, there are a few other indicators that you need an oil change. One is if your engine starts making strange noises. Another is if your "Check Engine" light comes on. If you're ever in doubt, it's always better to err on the side of caution and get an oil change. It's considered preventative maintenance because it will help avoid more serious and costly repairs down the road. Why Should A Service Professional Change My Oil? A service professional has the training and experience to properly change your oil. They also have the right tools and equipment. We are trained to dispose of your used oil properly so that it doesn't harm the environment. Our team also understands that many of our customers are on a tight timeline. We strive to provide a quick and efficient service so that you can get back on the road as soon as possible. Not to mention, we'll perform a multi-point inspection on your vehicle to make sure everything else is in working order. Make A Service Appointment With Royal Moore Subaru An oil change is one of the most important services you can perform on your car. It's critical to know how often to change your oil, what type of oil to use, and what the consequences are for neglected oil changes. If you have any questions about getting an oil change, our team at Royal Moore Subaru would be more than happy to help. To make a service appointment, give us a call or schedule online. We look forward to helping you keep your car running smoothly!

When it comes to getting a new car, there are two ways you can go about it. You can lease, or you can buy. Both options have positives and negatives. Some would prefer to only lease cars. Others feel that leasing wastes money and you should only purchase a car. Everybody is different, and what might work for one person may not be best for you. When determining which of these two options is best for you, three main factors determine your answer. First, you must consider what you intend to do with your vehicle. You must also think about the number of miles you drive and how much you want to spend. To help you make the best decision here is some information about the difference between leasing and financing a car. What Does it Mean To Finance A Car? When you finance a car, you are obtaining an auto loan, typically from a bank or credit union, to purchase the vehicle. You must make regular monthly payments for a certain period towards the car. Once you have made all the payments, you own the vehicle. You can sell it, trade it in, or keep it. When financing a car, it is helpful if you put down some amount of money. A downpayment helps to lower your monthly payment amount. If you plan to keep the car for a long while, this is the best solution. However, you have to pay for repairs once the warranty expires. What is Leasing? A lease is an agreement that you make for a set amount of time. This period is usually two to four years. You make a monthly payment during this time, which is lower than if you financed it. At the end of this period, you must decide if you want to purchase the vehicle or return it to the leasing company. If you return it, you must find another car. It is not possible to sell a leased vehicle. You do not own it. When you lease, it allows you to enjoy a new car every few years. You do not have to pay for long-term repairs or maintenance. You do have a mileage restriction. Concerns with Financing There are no limitations put upon you when you finance a vehicle. You must make your monthly payment, but other than that, you can drive all the miles you want. It is crucial to remember that if you have high mileage on your car, it may reduce the resale or trade-in value. You should perform regularly scheduled maintenance, like oil changes and tire rotation, to extend the life of your car. Even with high mileage, regular care reduces wear and tear on the vehicle and helps it retain its value. You can expect to have a higher car payment when you finance your car unless you have a high down payment. Concerns with Leasing When leasing a vehicle, you have to consider the number of miles you plan to drive because you will have limits. Upon signing the lease agreement, you have to determine what mileage you want to stay within. The typical options are 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles. If you drive over the amount you select, when you turn in the car, you may have to pay a fee. The fee typically ranges from 10 cents to 30 cents for each mile you are over. If you think you will drive more than 15,000 miles, you need a high mileage option. Leasing a vehicle with a high mileage option makes your monthly payment higher. Even when you lease a car, you have to take care of it with regularly scheduled maintenance. It can be costly if you do not care for it properly because when you turn in the car, you may face a large fee for excessive wear and tear.
