Summer Service Tasks For Your Car

You never want to take your car for granted. While it may have been just fine in the spring, right now, it could be struggling in the high temperatures of summer. Our Subaru service center will make sure your vehicle is running just as it should by handling these seasonal service tasks.

Brake Inspection

With more cars on the roads now – especially with folks head out on trips – this means there’s a higher risk of accidents. This is why you need to be sure that your brakes are in excellent condition so they will give you the stopping power you need.

Additionally, if you’ve been hearing a squealing noise when braking or the pedal feels spongey, service is vital.

Battery Test

Unfortunately, car batteries wear out pretty fast. If yours is five years old or older, chances are very good that it is nearing the end of its life. Having it tested is very important, as this can tell you how much charge it has remaining.

If it is low, you can replace it, so you don’t have to worry about a dead battery leaving you stranded somewhere.

Fluid Check

There are quite a few systems in your car that require fluids, such as the transmission, power steering, and brakes. These have to be at the right levels in order to function properly, which is why they should be checked often. With temperatures where they are, you will definitely want to be sure that your air conditioning has enough refrigerant to keep you cool.

If your car is in need of any maintenance, you can make an appointment now with the service center at Serra Subaru Champaign.
