Temperatures are dropping throughout the Charlottesville area and while we're welcoming fall weather with open arms, we here at Reynolds Subaru also want to encourage local drivers to attend to their vehicle's routine service visits before embarking on any trips. If your car, truck, or SUV is in need of some repairs or a simple maintenance visit, consider taking advantage of any free time you have right now to attend to its condition to better prepare for the blustery and colder winter weather that will soon be on our doorstep.

Our service technicians at Reynolds Subaru have compiled a list of quick and easy service checks that can be marked off your list without requiring too much time (or savings).

• Check Your Tire Pressure and Complete a Tire Rotation: If you're like us, you've probably been cooped up in your home or apartment quite a bit recently. While you might not have been driving as much, your tires can still lose air pressure through flat spots from lack of use. Even those drivers that have been regularly commuting to and from work should have their tires rotated to promote healthy wear that's even across all four tires.
• Complete an Oil Change: Like your vehicle's tires, engine oil can also dirty over time even when your vehicle isn't being used as temperatures fluctuate. If you can't remember the last time your vehicle had an oil change, it's likely due for one soon (if not already). This is a hassle-free way to ensure your vehicle is properly lubricated and in optimal condition for whatever driving plans you have in store this fall and winter. We assure you that our service team will have you in and out of our service facility in little to no time at all.
• Service Your Vehicles Battery and Replace if Needed: Battery issues are commonplace no matter the month. As colder temperatures put greater demands and strains on our vehicles during the winter, it's a good idea to ensure your Subaru sedan, hatchback, or SUV is outfitted with a healthy battery that still has plenty of charge left. One of the most frustrating issues with vehicles are dead batteries since they're almost always such an easy fix and routine item to check up on.
