There is a reason you see many Subarus driven by locals in towns that get a lot of snow. Subarus are designed to keep you safe while driving on snowy roads. Do you have a larger family and want to play in the snow regularly? If so, here at Fitzgerald Subaru Rockville in Rockville, we have the Subaru Ascent for our Washington DC-area neighbors that need to seat up to eight passengers and drive safely on snowy and rainy roads.

Subaru Ascent

The Subaru Ascent is a stylish, larger SUV with three rows of seating for your chauffeur duties around Gaithersburg. It gets 260 horsepower and can tow up to 5,000 pounds of your favorite adventure trailer or other gear while still getting up to 26 miles per gallon of gasoline.

The Subaru Ascent’s Winter Safety Features

Every Subaru Ascent comes standard with all-wheel drive. Subaru’s all-wheel drive is intelligent. For one thing, this means that it is automatically engaged when needed and disengaged when you do not need it. That will save you at the pump as you drive around Silver Spring. Also, Subaru’s all-wheel drive is designed to take torque away from the slipping wheels and provide more torque to the wheels with traction. This is safer than traditional all-wheel drive, with every wheel engaged with the same torque.

Also, the Subaru Ascent comes standard with drive modes that you can set manually with the turn of a dial. These drive modes allow you to choose between different driving conditions on the road around and beyond North Bethesda in real-time, such as deep snow, off-road, and muddy conditions. The drive modes come with hill descent control that helps keep you from plummeting down an icy hill. The Ascent also has 8.7 inches of ground clearance to help you when the snow plows cannot keep up.

When you are ready, visit us at Fitzgerald Subaru Rockville for a test drive of the Subaru Ascent. We know you will be impressed with what the Ascent has to offer in terms of standard features for your family’s winter driving safety.

Subaru owners may appreciate how their Subaru Impreza or Subaru Outback performs, and many Silver Spring drivers realize that performance often relies on proper maintenance. At Fitzgerald Subaru, we offer service specials to owners interested in making sure they are up-to-date with all routine maintenance.

Subaru Service Specials

Offers and deals on recommended service could prompt Subaru drivers to get necessary work done on time. Others might run some miles or weeks past the service point recommended in the owner’s manual, and a special deal may lead them to make an appointment. Ultimately, saving money and getting the service done have benefits. Check out these rotating deals before they’re gone!

Oil and Filter Changes

Having a Subaru vehicle’s oil and filter changed at the proper time has many upsides. Fresh motor oil keeps an engine lubricated and contributes to fuel efficiency. Choosing the appropriate viscosity level based on mileage and the season could help, too. Our service center will utilize the recommended grade of oil for your Subaru model.

Tire and Wheel Care

Driving adds wear and tear to the tire treads. Age and environmental factors also impact a tire’s condition. Rotating and inspecting the tires may extend their life while determining whether they require repairs or replacement.

Wheel alignments help prevent tire wear while helping with steering and other performance issues. One of our technicians can determine whether tires require alignments.

Brake Examinations

Brakes also degrade from use, and worn brakes might present dangers on North Bethesda roads. Requesting a thorough brake inspection that examines the various parts, lines, and hoses could reveal whether the system requires any repairs.

Battery Checks

Batteries checks reveal how much life a battery has left. The check also affords a chance to clean the tray and terminal.

Additional Subaru Services

Subaru drivers are welcome to request other services at our Rockville dealership. Fluid and coolant checks may reveal whether the vehicle needs new fluid. Now might be the time to replace windshield wipers and certain belts.

Schedule an appointment online from your Gaithersburg house or call us to set up an appointment for service. Fitzgerald Subaru is proud to serve Washington, DC, and the surrounding areas. We hope to see you soon.

Preparing your vehicle for winter is a great way to stay confident whenever you drive. Our team wants to help you see what you should consider as winter weather approaches, ensuring you are prepared for any changing weather. With tips for what you can do and our Subaru service professionals in Rockville, you will have everything needed to winterize your vehicle.

Winter Weather Tips for Your Vehicle

Check Your Tire Pressure

Colder weather can lower your tire pressure, so making sure your tires are at their best before it cools down is a good idea. There are many places to check your tires near Silver Spring, but choosing our dealership allows service professionals to ensure your tires maintain the best grip.

Replace Your Wiper Blades

Having your wipers in their best condition will keep your windshield clear if you face harsh weather. Old wiper blades can leave streaks and aren’t as effective when clearing your line of sight. Our team can help you decide which wiper blades are the best for winter driving through Washington, DC.

Check Your Fluids

Aside from promoting your vehicle’s best performance, checking your fluids is important because they can react differently in cold weather. Our experts can work with you to see which fluids need to be replaced, offer the right choices for winter conditions, and let you know when to come back for your next Subaru service appointment near Gaithersburg.

Have Questions About Winter Service Appointments? Our Team Can Help!

We encourage you to contact our team whenever you have questions about caring for your Subaru. We’ve helped many drivers and look forward to helping you too. Take the short drive from North Bethesda today to visit our experts.
