Spring Subaru Inspections and Alignments

Lakeview Automotive are your Subaru specialists in Calgary . Subaru has a unique design that makes it the perfect vehicle for our cold and snowy Calgary winters. Due to the nature of the "flat engine" layout Subaru utilizes, working on a Subaru is different than working on most every other automobile. We've specialized in Subaru and know the ins and outs, the do's and don'ts of their unique design and engineering.

At Lakeview Automotive we know that the Subaru flat four engine has pistons that lay flat opposing each other, this unconventional setup also earns it the name the "boxer engine". The benefit of this unique Subaru design is in its packaging. The Subaru engine distributes all its weight horizontally keeping it the center of gravity. Your Subaru is not the same as every other car on the road, it deserves a specialist. 

With winter coming to a close it’s time for you to bring your Subaru to a Calgary repair shop near you for an inspection and alignment. Calgary’s winters are hard on all cars, many Subaru designs sit even lower to the ground and often the road treatments in the city can have an impact on your car. Here are a few spring Subaru inspection tips. 

Washer Fluid  

Keeping your windshield clean through the winter and into our slushy spring requires a seemingly endless supply of washer fluid. Avoid a dangerous dirty windshield by being prepared, top off your washer fluid and check your wipers. 

Wheel Alignment and Seasonal Tire Changeover  

On Calgary’s icy winter roads, we often encounter curbs without even realizing it, this can throw your alignment off. Visit a Subaru repair shop near you for a wheel alignment – this would also be a great time for a seasonal tire changeover. Ensuring you have the correct tires for the weather will improve your Subaru performance and fuel efficiency. When searching for New Hampshire State Inspections, keep in mind that they include an On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) test in addition to the Safety inspection.

Battery Check  

After a winter of sub-zero temperature your battery may be struggling or even on its last legs. If you are experiencing difficulties starting your Subaru, visit a Subaru specialist in Calgary for an inspection today.
