DCH Subaru of Riverside likes to help car buyers stay informed on car maintenance issues. Our service professionals are often asked about car batteries and how they are affected by extreme temperatures. Here are a few things to know.

Drivability and a smooth road-traversing experience are key to having a good time in the driver's seat. However, this can prove difficult when your vehicle's suspension needs work. That's why you should always be aware of the condition of your car's suspension. If your car's wheels or cushioning capabilities were to be compromised, it could spell real trouble for your driving enjoyment.

Headlights are obviously an important part of your vehicle. They light up your road to let you see, help make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, and help you stay safe while driving. Headlights are essential to every automobile, and so is knowing how to take care of them.

If you have recently failed a car inspection and the emissions check was to blame, it's time to bring your car to DCH Subaru of Riverside for an exhaust system service. While your exhaust system is responsible for making your car quieter, it is also essential for reducing the carbon monoxide and other harmful substances coming from your vehicle.

Your exhaust system is more than just your muffler. The system goes throughout your car, starting just behind the engine.

Brakes are important, and you don't want to wait until your brakes have failed to learn there is a problem. A brake inspection involves checking over your system, making sure the pads aren't too worn down and that the brake fluid levels are adequate.

To get your car serviced, contact us at DCH Subaru of Riverside and make an appointment with our service center.
