It’s spring, and many hands turn to spring cleaning. There’s something else you should remember, though, and that’s car care. At Fitzgerald Subaru, we’re observing April Car Care, and we have loads of specials going on right now!

Winter’s Over

Winter is behind us, and as temperatures around Washington, D.C. turn toward spring, it’s time to consider several steps you should take to get your car ready for warmer weather.

First, if you have your snow tires on, it’s time to get those off and replaced with regular tires. While you’re at it, it’s not a bad idea to have your alignment checked; just how many hidden potholes did you discover around North Bethesda last winter?

It’s probably a good time to check those windshield wipers, too. Chances are they may be ready for a change after a winter of Silver Spring snow and sleet.

The Usual

Not all service is season-specific. There are several services that need doing on a regular basis. You should probably know whether your Subaru is on a three-month or six-month service interval, but if not, give us a call to see if you’re due for those regular items like an oil change, tire rotation, air filter replacement, or battery test. We’ll get everything in order and have you back on the streets of Gaithersburg in no time.

No matter what you come in for, we offer a complimentary multi-point inspection, just in case there’s an underlying problem that needs to be discovered and addressed. After all, many major repairs can be avoided or lessened, if the root cause is caught early.

Fitzgerald Subaru is Ready to Serve You

Come see us at Fitzgerald Subaru in Rockville, Maryland, where our team of friendly service professionals stands ready to get your car in order!

Discover the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid at Fitzgerald Subaru

If you’re in the market for a crossover SUV and fuel efficiency is an important consideration, take time to get to know the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid.

Engineered for Efficiency

The Crosstrek Hybrid uses Subaru StarDrive technology to combine the efficiency of a plug-in electric vehicle with the long-range capability of a Subaru Boxer gasoline engine. The gas engine charges the electric battery even if you can’t plug in, so you never need to worry about running out of juice.

At an EPA-estimated 90 miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent, the electric engine on the Crosstrek Hybrid can easily get you around the Washington, D.C. area. And if you want to take it outside for a weekend getaway, you can fall back on the reliability of the Crosstrek Hybrid’s gasoline engine to get you where you want to go.

You don’t have to worry about which one to use, either. The Crosstrek Hybrid automatically drives in all-electric mode as much as possible, giving you maximum efficiency at all times. When the battery gets low, the gas engine will automatically start up and begin charging it. The battery also recharges by harnessing kinetic energy, such as when you’re coasting downhill or whenever you take your foot off the throttle. (You can also charge the Crosstrek Hybrid anywhere with a standard outlet by using the included charger.)

All together, the Crosstrek Hybrid offers a combined 480 miles of range.

Comfort & Convenience

Take a seat in the Crosstrek Hybrid, and you won’t realize you’re in a hybrid at all. You’ll just know you’re in a comfortable crossover with all the latest convenience features.

• Spacious interior: Seating for five with 100.7 cubic feet of passenger volume
• Cargo space: A wide rear gate opening makes is easier to load large gear, and the 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatbacks mean you can take the big stuff home from your favorite retailer.
• Media connections: STARLINK Multimedia with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, wireless pairing, and hands-free smartphone operation
• Roof rails: Standard low-profile roof rails are compatible with an extensive line of Thule racking accessories to provide cargo-carrying flexibility.
• Towing: The Crosstrek Hybrid can tow up to 1,000 pounds.
• Spiffy wheels: 18 inch aluminum-alloy wheels, black with machine finish

Everything You’d Expect from a Subaru

Of course the Crosstrek Hybrid has symmetrical all-wheel drive, so you can take it wherever you want to go. If things get dicey — like snow and mud, for example — just flip on X-MODE, Subaru’s intelligent control system. X-MODE works by coordinating engine throttle, transmission, and all-wheel drive to ideally maintain control. Combined with its dynamics control system and hill descent control, X-MODE is there for you when conditions are rough.

The Crosstrek Hybrid is also safe, with the latest Subaru technology protecting you and your passengers. Standard EyeSight driver assist technology monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you’re swaying outside your lane. It’s one of the reasons why the Crosstrek Hybrid was named a 2020 IIHS Top Safety Pick.

Finally, you know it’s made to last — 97 percent of all Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road.

Come See the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid in Person

Visit us at Fitzgerald Subaru to get an up-close look at the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid and take one for a test drive. We have plenty for sale at our dealership in Rockville, MD. We’re conveniently located near Silver Spring, not far from North Bethesda and Gaithersburg.
