April isn’t just the beginning of beach season in Vero Beach—it’s also National Car Care Month, and your Subaru deserves a little love after working hard through winter road trips, salty air, and sudden downpours.

At Dyer Subaru Vero Beach, we’re celebrating spring the best way we know how—by helping you give your ride a refresh inside and out. Whether you’re heading to the Indian River Lagoon, hauling gear for a surf day, or just commuting along US-1, these spring car care tips will help your Subaru stay sharp, safe, and road-ready.

1. Clean It Like You Mean It

Start with a serious spring cleaning session.

  • Toss out old beach towels, receipts, and winter gear.
  • Vacuum under the seats (yes, even the goldfish cracker zone).
  • Wipe down all surfaces with interior cleaner for a fresh, just-detailed vibe.
  • Don’t forget the cargo area—you’ll thank yourself on your next road trip.

Got leather seats? Treat them to a conditioner to avoid sun cracking and keep them looking showroom-new.

2. Give Your Subaru a Spa Day

Florida’s coastal roads leave behind salt, sand, and road grime that can be tough on your paint. A full wash, wax, and undercarriage rinse will:

  • Protect against rust
  • Restore shine
  • Extend the life of your finish

A coat of wax also helps guard against UV rays—essential in the Sunshine State!

3. Pop the Hood & Do a Quick Health Check

Once your engine has cooled, take a look under the hood (or bring it to us—we won’t judge). Check for:

  • Leaks or cracked hoses
  • Battery corrosion or loose cables
  • Fluid levels: engine oil, coolant, washer fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid

Pro Tip: If you’re not sure what you’re looking at, swing by Dyer Subaru Vero Beach Service—our team will handle it with care.

4. Tires: The Unsung Heroes

Your Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is only as good as the tires supporting it.

  • Check tire pressure (don’t forget the spare!)
  • Look for signs of uneven wear or bald spots
  • Rotate if needed for longer-lasting tread

Proper tire maintenance = better MPG, smoother rides, and safer turns.

5. Schedule Professional Subaru Maintenance in Vero Beach

While a DIY refresh is a great start, nothing beats a check-up from our certified Subaru technicians. From brake inspections and tire alignments to fluid flushes and battery tests, we’ll make sure your Subaru is ready for wherever the Florida roads take you.
