Air Filter Replacement & Its Importance in Quality Routine Subaru Maintenance this Spring
Reasons to Have Your Subaru Air Filters Replaced This Spring
Are you getting ready to schedule a routine maintenance appointment for your Subaru at the Thelen Subaru Service Center in Bay City, MI? We would like to remind you to add air filter service to the rest of the procedures that you’ll have done to your reliable family cruiser. Why should you have the cabin and engine air filters serviced at the same time as the rest of your vehicle this spring? Your air filters are vital to peak performance and efficiency so taking the time to have them replaced in spring will result in an even more enjoyable daily cruising experience for everyone in the Subaru. When you choose Thelen as your go-to mid-Michigan Subaru service provider, you can trust that the components used in your appointment are made for your vehicle.
The Importance of Air Filter Service on Your Subaru
A Clean Engine Air Filter Improves Performance & Efficiency –
The engine air filter in your Subaru is responsible for making sure that the airflow sent through your engine is as clean as possible. The cleaner the air, the less effort your engine has to muster to achieve its peak performance. As such, you get improved overall fuel efficiency as well to go along with the excellent and dependable performance you love about your Subaru. This can also prevent faster wear and tear than usual.
Your Cabin Air Filter Provides Fresh Air & Helps Your HVAC System –
When your cabin air filter is dirty and/or clogged up, everyone in the vehicle will notice that the air quality in the vehicle is less than anticipated. A clogged filter also makes it harder for your vehicle’s HVAC system to efficiently get fresh air into the cabin, causing your Subaru to have to use more energy to get your vehicle properly cooled off. Taking the opportunity to have your cabin air filter replaced will not only improve the freshness of the air you breathe by more readily removing airborne debris such as dust and pollen, but it also makes your vehicle function even more efficiently overall.

Thelen Subaru Wants to Help You Determine Whether You Should Finance or Lease Your Next Subaru
Should You Finance or Lease Your Next Subaru in Mid-Michigan?
A new Subaru is a treat to drive across the Great Lakes Bay Region thanks to its all-around superior handling and consistently excellent performance. From the sporty Subaru Legacy to the rugged Subaru Crosstrek, there is a model from the iconic brand that meets your needs and preferences. However, the next major decision after figuring out which Subaru you want is whether should you finance or lease your next vehicle. There are plenty of advantages to either option, and these will largely come down to what your personal situation is. Thelen Subaru in Bay City, MI, is here to help you determine which of the two options is best for you. We strive to make sure your shopping experience with us is as comprehensive and hassle-free as possible, and this includes guiding you through the process to ensure your complete confidence.
Subaru Financing vs. Leasing Advantages
Financing – When you finance a Subaru, you are giving yourself opportunities further down the road as opposed to leasing. For example, perhaps your goal is to one day pass it down to a child as their first vehicle. By financing/owning the vehicle, you can make this dream a reality. Alternatively, you always have the option of trading it in to take a considerable amount of money off a newer Subaru if you find one further down the line. What about the present? Well, there are no restrictions to the personalized touches you can add to your vehicle if you finance it, as well as no mileage limits to worry about.
Leasing – While there is such a focus on owning/financing a new vehicle in today’s market, there are plenty of reasons to consider leasing. For example, you get generally lower payments than a loan if you go with the leasing route. Additionally, you get to have the vehicle during the early days of its lifecycle so you generally don’t have to worry about extensive routine maintenance or repairs by the end of the lease terms. Finally, leasing is a great way to continually make sure you’re in the latest and greatest Subaru vehicles as when your lease is up, you can bring in the vehicle and go for a new lease on a new model.
