How does winter road salt affect my Subaru?

Road salt speeds up rust on brake lines, the exhaust, and the underbody. Washing your vehicle regularly in winter helps, and every service visit at AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley includes a complimentary exterior car wash.

What are the signs of pothole damage on my Subaru?

Watch for the vehicle pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel, vibration, or bulges on a tire sidewall. These can point to an alignment, tire, or suspension issue that should be inspected soon.

How should I prepare my Subaru for winter in Maryland?

Before winter, have your battery tested and your tires, brakes, wiper blades, and washer fluid checked. Cold temperatures reduce battery power, and good tread helps your all-wheel drive grip on snow and ice.

How often should I change my Subaru's oil?

Most newer Subaru models call for an oil and filter change every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Frequent short trips, stop-and-go traffic, or towing may call for more frequent changes. Your Subaru maintenance schedule lists the exact interval for your model.

Why does my Subaru need four matching tires?

Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive sends power to all four wheels, so the tires need to match in brand, model, size, and tread depth. Mismatched tires can strain the AWD system, which is why replacing all four tires at once is usually recommended.
