With the weather starting to cool off outside, there are a lot of people who are excited to watch the leaves change color. You’re probably excited to leave the oppressive heat of the summer in the background as well. At the same time, is your car ready for cooler temperatures? We are Royal Moore Subaru, and it would be our pleasure to help you find a new car. We are also available to help you take care of your existing one. What sort of maintenance tips do you need to follow if you want your car to last as long as possible? Learn more below, and reach out to us to schedule an appointment with our service center.

1. Inspect the Battery

First, you need to make sure you inspect the battery this fall. There is a chance that the battery might have to be replaced. In general, you should expect to get between three and five years of use out of the battery. When the temperature begins to drop outside, batteries may have a difficult time holding onto a charge. As a result, if your battery is already at the end of its life, you may realize that you have a difficult time starting your car during the fall. You need to prevent this from happening, so you should visit our service center to get your battery tested. That way, if it is already at the end of its life, we can go ahead and replace it for you. 

2. Swap Out the Wipers

You also need to swap out the windshield wipers. It is not exactly a secret that there is a lot of rain that comes during the fall. If you do not have the right windshield wipers, you may have a difficult time seeing out of the windshield because of the streaks on the windshield. If you want to prevent this from happening, you need to select the right windshield wipers. It may have been a long time since you last replaced your windshield wipers, and it would be our pleasure to help you find a new set. Rely on the team from Royal Moore Subaru to help you find new windshield wipers. 

3. Change the Air Filters

You should also make sure that you change your air filters from time to time. You might not realize that you have multiple sets of air filters in your car that have to be swapped out occasionally. For example, your engine air filters might be clogged, which means that your engine might not be operating as efficiently as it should be. In addition, you might have cabin air filters that are clogged and need to be replaced. It would be our pleasure to swap out your air filters for you. We want to make sure that your engine and cabin have a source of clean air. 

4. Top Off the Fluids

Finally, it is also a good time to top off all of the fluids. You may not realize that you have a lot of different fluid levels that have to be monitored. In addition to your oil, you might have a low level of windshield wiper fluid. We can help you replace it. You might also have low coolant in your air conditioner. If that is the case, we can top it off for you. If your brake fluid level is a bit low, we can handle that as well. Rely on our team to assist you.
