Driving a 2017 Subaru Forester near Bethesda, MD? Want to keep it running well during winter? Herb Gordon Subaru can help, with expert service and friendly advice. Let’s start in the latter camp, where there are three things you can do on your own to secure a hassle-free driving experience over the next few months:  1) Keep your gas tank at least half-full, 2) Make sure your tires are fully and evenly inflated, and 3) Top off your wiper fluid as often as possible. Complete these simple tasks and we promise your ride will be smoother, more comfortable, and safer, no matter what winter throws at us.

As the preeminent Subaru dealer in Maryland, we’re also well-equipped to take the next step and winterize your Subaru vehicle. If you own a newer model, one in which the battery and brakes are in good shape, we can focus on winter tires and winter wiper blades. Both are invaluable assets in icy, snowy conditions. And while it’s true that Subaru vehicles have a distinct advantage in that they come standard with all-wheel drive, it’s also true that winter tires are far superior to regular tires in terms of traction and ruggedness. So maximize your Subaru Outback model’s wintertime performance by pairing your AWD with the right tires. Add winter wiper blades to the mix, which are reinforced with additional rubber to better cut through the slush and grime, and you’ll be unstoppable.

For owners of older-model Subaru vehicles, we’ll do all of the above, and we’ll check all of the components that you rely most on during winter:  your battery, your brakes, and your defrosters. If any of these are deficient, we’ll replace them quickly and cost-effectively. Visit our Silver Spring, MD Subaru service center today and tap into our winterizing expertise!
