At Herb Gordon Subaru, we know that our cars are built for summer fun and road trips. They offer cargo space, comfort, and safety for those long treks to popular vacation spots. That being said, the summer heat can be rough on your vehicle. That's why we're also a fully-equipped Subaru service center that can help get your car ready for long drives in the warm weather.
There are a few parts of your car that you should pay extra attention to this summer. First, your tires and wheels might require a closer look. Tire pressure can drop when the temperature changes and your wheels may have been knocked out of alignment during the winter and spring months, thanks to potholes and other rough road conditions. You'll want our technicians to check both before any lengthy trips.
Your brakes are always important, but they're especially important if you plan to take any long drives this summer. Unfortunately, road trips to popular vacation spots can occasionally result in you running into traffic. In stop-and-go traffic you'll want your brakes to be as responsive as possible. Nothing ruins a fun trip like a fender bender.
Checking your car's fluid levels is another crucial step before you hit the road this summer. Power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant levels can all drop when the weather heats up. You might even need more windshield wiper fluid. On that note, the hot weather can also do a number on the fluid inside of your car battery. Fluid loss can speed up during the summer, but our mechanics can take a look and find you a new, reliable battery if needed.
So when you're getting ready to hit the road this summer, visit our Subaru dealership near Rockville, MD. Our talented technicians can help you keep your Subaru car in top shape. We hope to see you soon!
