As exhilarating as it is to accelerate in your Subaru, being able to stop when you need to is just as important. Brakes are a crucial part of your vehicle, but how can you tell when they need a trip to the Subaru dealer? Sometimes your car gives you subtle hints that it’s time to head in for some brake repair.

Speaking or Squealing Noises

If your Subaru starts to sound like a squeaky toy every time you hit the brakes, something is clearly up. Brake pads come with wear indicators that make a high-pitched noise when it’s time for a change. If you change your brake pads at the first sign of a squeak, you may be able to avoid more serious brake problems.

Grinding Sounds

If you’ve graduated from squeaking to a full-on grinding noise, it’s time to hustle to the dealership. This sound could mean that your brake pads have worn down completely, and now metal is grinding on metal. This isn’t just an unpleasant noise: it could also be causing damage to your brake rotors.

So you’ve done a few test drives, picked out a vehicle, and negotiated a great price. The only thing left to do before getting behind the wheel is line up financing, and that’s easy when you’re working through your Subaru dealer. Arranging car financing through our dealership is your best and most convenient option. You’ll be offered a terrific financing package, and you won’t even have to leave the dealership lot.

4 Benefits of Getting Car Financing at Your Subaru Dealer

1. Your Trade-In May Help

If you’re planning to trade in a vehicle, that may help you qualify for an especially favorable financing package through our dealership. When you trade in a vehicle, you’re awarded a credit toward the purchase of your new car or truck. That credit reduces the amount you need to borrow. And when you borrow less money, you’re considered less of a risk by lenders, meaning you are more likely to be awarded a low interest rate or other favorable terms.

We can handle the paperwork associated with both your trade-in and your financing together, making both arrangements efficient and hassle-free.
