Another New York winter has arrived, which means it’s time to get ready for freezing weather and snowy streets. If you haven’t had a service visit in a while, this is a great opportunity to get Subaru service before the weather gets worse. Get these service tasks done at Mid-Hudson Subaru for a safer winter.

Turn On Your Heating

A malfunctioning heating system during winter can be more than frustrating—it can be dangerous. Before the temperatures drop too much, turn on your heating system and drive around the block. In addition to making sure it heats up quickly, pay attention to any unusual sounds or smells, which are also signs that your heating system needs service.

Test Your Lights

Short days and long nights make your headlights and taillights more important than ever. The easiest way to test your lights is with a partner. Turn on your headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, backup lights, and emergency flashers and have your partner confirm they’re visible. If you can’t clearly see them, replace the bulb ASAP.

Check Your Battery

Winter is notorious for leaving drivers with dead batteries. Have our team test your battery’s capacity to make sure it’s strong enough for a cold winter and won’t leave you stuck on the side of the road. Accidents can happen even with new parts, so pack an emergency kit with warm clothes, a light source, reflectors, and jumper cables as well.
