You’ve spent a while cruising around in your Subaru, and now it occurs to you that your lease is almost finished. If the conclusion of your lease approaches, it’s time to make some decisions about which steps you’ll take next and to prepare accordingly. Fortunately, our team is here to help you smoothly purchase or return your Subaru lease at our Madison area dealership!

If you’ve fallen head over heels for your Subaru and have decided you don’t want to give it up, don’t worry; you don’t have to! If you’re interested in purchasing the remaining value of your vehicle to become the owner and keep it for as long as you like, that’s an option you have. Simply let our financing team know, and we’ll work with you to find a purchase plan and financing agreement that works for you.

Of course, you also have the option to return your lease–which you likely intended to do when you decided to lease in the first place. In this case, you’ll need to do a bit of preparation to ensure things go smoothly.

Getting Ready to Return Your Lease

Roughly six weeks before your lease is due to end, reach out to Subaru to have a pre-return inspection scheduled. During this convenient inspection, you’ll be made aware of any necessary repairs in excess of $1,000; these are your responsibility to either handle before returning  your lease, or to pay for. It’s often less expensive to make these repairs yourself beforehand, so feel free to visit our Subaru service center near Madison to get things taken care of.

When the lease return happens, you’ll simply bring us your vehicle along with any keys, manuals, or accessories you received when leasing the vehicle. We’ll remove the plates for you, and you’ll be all set to contact Subaru to confirm your lease return. Of course, we’re happy to walk you through our showroom to check out the latest models while you consider what you’ll be driving next!

For more information on returning your lease, as well as the latest Subaru vehicles that you can slide into next, be sure to contact us online or by calling the Subaru of Morristown team at (866) 910-3466 today.

While drivers are usually locked in on the typical winter road hazards–things like ice, low visibility, and snow–road salt is often overlooked as a danger to your vehicle. If left untreated, the salt that plow trucks drop can rust the undercarriage of your car and seriously hinder its ability to perform like you expect it to.

If you’ve already noticed rust forming on your car, you can schedule an appointment with our Subaru service center in Morristown.

Get Ahead Of The Game

Most salt-induced vehicle rust can be avoided by taking some precautionary steps in the weeks leading up to winter, before the temperatures really start to drop.

While the undercarriage is the part of your vehicle at the most risk, giving your car a full coat of wax on the exterior can only help in letting the salt and wet just slide right off. Once your car looks shiny and new, you can pretreat the undercarriage of the vehicle; many shops offer an oil solution pre-treatment that helps prevent salt and water from clinging on to the exposed metal parts that will be the first to rust.

Most notably, getting a pre-winter inspection from a mechanic is a great way to prep for the winter months. Cold weather is one of the biggest enemies of your car, and any essential parts with wear and tear should be replaced or fixed before winter rolls around to ensure you are giving your car a head start.

Looking for a place to get your car inspected? Morristown drivers can visit our Subaru service center, which accommodates a wide range of makes and models.

What To Do During Winter

Even with all those precautionary steps, it’s still important to be aware of salt while you’re driving around in the winter. The best thing you can do is to avoid puddles and plow trucks. Puddles tend to hold large amounts of salt that will splash up into the undercarriage, and plow trucks dropping fresh salt pose the biggest threat to your car’s exterior.

After a snowstorm, be sure to get your car washed to shake any excess salt off. Choose a car wash that offers the option to spray underneath your vehicle to make sure your entire car is covered.
