Fall Service and Maintenance near Stafford, VA
As the colder months begin to arrive, there are a few items of routine fall maintenance that you should take care of. Residents of Stafford, VA, are encouraged to stop by our Sheehy Subaru of Fredericksburg Service Department. In the text below, we’ll explain what to expect.
Climate Control Inspection and Service
The cabin air filter in your Subaru Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, or other model functions to stop fall allergies and make your drives more convenient. However, it can become clogged with dirt and debris over time, especially if you’ve spent the summer on frequent road trips to different places. Before the Thanksgiving travel season, it pays to have the climate controls inspected. This will ensure that the heating function works properly before winter fully sets in. Additionally, it will tell us if the refrigerant or coolant needs to be refilled. Before our next outing near Government Island Park, take a moment to contact our team members.
Tire and Brake Check
After you schedule a service appointment, our certified technicians often recommend getting a tire and brake check. This can tell our trained mechanics if there are any issues that may have arisen from frequent towing during the summer. Additionally, if your vehicle accumulated significant mileage recently, then it may be time for a tire rotation. We can check the tread depth to ensure that it’s alright for traversing the roads during colder seasons as well. By inspecting the brakes for any signs of wear, you can have peace of mind that stopping power on icy roads will remain intact. A set of all-season or winter tires on I-95 can also prove helpful, especially if they are new.
Fluid Top-Off
Taking a moment to see if the fluid levels are full can greatly extend the lifespan of your Subaru. That’s why you should schedule a full inspection of the reservoirs. In particular, we can check the oil, transmission fluid, and brake lines to ensure that everything is alright. If any of these run low, then our team can quickly refill them for you. As mentioned above, coolant and refrigerant are often overlooked until a problem arises, which can be easily spotted during routine service. The windshield washer tank is another item to inspect, as few would like to leave Aquia Harbour Golf Course for an autumn road trip and find that bugs or debris cloud their view. Before this occurs, feel free to ask one of our technicians about how being a part of the Sheehy VIP Club can be of help.

Dealership Information
Testimonials
Super happy with this dealership.
I will choose Sheehy again.
“ Steve Kane at the service desk and Gary the technician treated me with sympathy and respect. My vehicle and I were towed in after breaking down on I95. Even though the service department was busy, they looked at my outback in short order, explained and physically showed me the problem. They resolved my issue so that I could get back home safely. I appreciated that Gary spent time with me to show me the under belly of my car and pinpoint my problem and that he wrote a detailed explanation on the paperwork receipt. If I ever need service again in or near Fredericksburg, I will choose Sheehy again. ”

“ Super happy with this dealership. Found my dream car online, used. Had all my stuff in order, and went to the dealership and was out of there in an hour and a half with my new car. Super easy process. Really nice sales people and finance people. I hate haggling and this dealership doesn't believe in haggling. The price of the car was more than fair. For all the bells and whistles that it had on it. Sam was fantastic, and helped me through the whole process. ”
