Hicks Family Subaru
The Subaru Ascent is built for families and adventurers alike, with its spacious interior, robust towing capabilities, and advanced safety features. To keep your Ascent ready for the next trip—whether you’re driving around Corpus Christi or heading out for a family road trip—regular maintenance is essential. At Hicks Family Subaru, our certified technicians are here to provide expert care, ensuring your Subaru Ascent performs for years to come.
At Hicks Family Subaru, we regularly service all Subaru Ascent trims, including:
No matter which trim you drive, our team uses genuine Subaru parts and advanced diagnostic tools to ensure your Ascent receives the best possible care.
Oil and Filter Change: Regular oil changes are critical for keeping your Subaru Ascent’s engine running smoothly. We recommend using 0W-20 synthetic oil for optimal engine performance and longevity.
Tire Rotation: Rotate your tires every 6,000 miles to promote even tread wear and improve handling. The Ascent typically comes with 245/60R18 or 245/50R20 tires, depending on the trim level.
Brake Inspection: We inspect your Subaru brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to ensure your braking system is in top shape for safe and confident driving.
Battery Test: Regular battery inspections help prevent unexpected failures. Our technicians will test your battery’s charge and inspect it for signs of wear.
Cabin Air Filter Replacement: Replace the cabin air filter to help maintain clean air quality inside your vehicle, especially important for long trips and everyday family driving.
Brake Fluid Inspection and Replacement: Ensure your braking system is working efficiently with regular brake fluid checks and replacements, especially if you’re towing or driving in challenging conditions.
Tire Alignment Check: Keeping your tires properly aligned helps improve fuel efficiency, ensures even tire wear, and enhances safety.
Transmission Fluid Check: Check the transmission fluid to ensure smooth shifting and long-lasting performance. This is particularly important for Subaru’s Lineartronic® CVT transmission.
Air Filter Replacement: Replace the engine air filter to help ensure clean airflow to the engine, which improves performance and fuel efficiency.
Brake Fluid Replacement: Change your brake fluid to maintain the Ascent’s braking power, particularly during long drives or towing.
Comprehensive Inspection: Our technicians will inspect critical components like the suspension, steering, and exhaust systems to help ensure your Ascent remains reliable.
Spark Plug Replacement: Replacing the spark plugs helps ensure efficient combustion and keeps your engine running smoothly.
Coolant System Check: Inspect and replace the engine coolant to prevent overheating and help the cooling system work efficiently in hot Texas summers.
Battery Replacement: Batteries typically last between 3-5 years, so if you’re approaching the 60,000-mile mark or notice slow starts, it’s time to replace your battery.
Tire Replacement: Depending on wear, you may need to replace your tires by 60,000 miles. We offer Subaru-approved tires that are ideal for both city driving and road trips.
Comprehensive System Inspection: At this mileage, a thorough inspection of all major systems—including the engine, suspension, drivetrain, and electrical components—is essential for long-term reliability.
Coolant Replacement: Regular coolant replacement ensures your engine continues to run at the right temperature and prevents overheating.
Transmission Fluid Replacement: Replace the transmission fluid to help ensure the CVT transmission remains smooth and responsive.
Your Subaru Ascent requires 0W-20 synthetic oil, which enhances fuel efficiency and reduces wear on the engine. Regular oil changes at Hicks Family Subaru ensure that your engine stays clean and runs smoothly. We recommend changing the oil every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on your driving habits.
The Subaru Ascent comes equipped with durable tires, typically 18-inch or 20-inch, depending on the trim. Regular tire rotations, alignments, and replacements keep your Ascent performing well on various terrains, whether you’re taking the family to the beach or tackling a long road trip. If it’s time for new tires, we offer a wide range of Subaru-approved tires for your vehicle.
Given the Ascent’s family-friendly design and its capability for towing, keeping your brakes in top shape is a must. At Hicks Family Subaru, we inspect your brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid at every service interval. Brake fluid replacement is recommended every 30,000 miles to ensure optimal stopping power.
A reliable battery is essential to keeping your Ascent ready for adventure. We recommend having your battery tested regularly, especially after 3 years of use. If needed, we offer genuine Subaru batteries that are designed to work seamlessly with your vehicle’s advanced electronics.
