Subaru's theme this year is "Ready for Anything," a nod to standard all-wheel drive on every Subaru model and the brand's legendary versatility. To celebrate the occasion, participating Subaru dealers are offering free vehicle diagnostic inspections to Subaru owners in preparation for the demands of winter driving.
A recent survey by the Car Care Council found that many of the vehicles checked lacked even the most basic maintenance: 38-percent of cars had low or dirty engine oil, 54 percent had low tire pressure, and 28-percent had inadequate cooling protection.
"Regular maintenance of your vehicle - no matter what you drive - is a good way to avoid breakdowns and ensure that you get where you are going this winter," notes Gary Palanjian, vice president of parts and service, Subaru of America, Inc. "We're pleased to join in with the Car Care Council's efforts to raise awareness of the importance of keeping your vehicle properly maintained."
During Fall Car Care Month, participating Subaru dealers, which is more than 95-percent of the dealer body, will be performing a thorough multi-point diagnostic checkup of all major operating systems, and owners will receive a written report of the vehicle's condition. Dealers may also offer other specials, such as instant rebates on brake pad service. For a list of participating dealers, consumers can visit www.subaru.com.
