What to Do After Buying a New Subaru Car
So you've just bought a new Subaru vehicle-what do you do next on your car ownership journey? It's important to get all of your paperwork in order and learn all about the vehicle's key systems. Jensen Subaru offers this checklist of the things you'll want to do after you buy a new car.
Update Auto Insurance
You need to contact your auto insurance company before you buy the vehicle to review and apply for coverage. Then, after you've bought your new Subaru model, you need to update your insurance to add the vehicle. Our dealership can verify the required coverage you need for your car.
Register Your Vehicle
When you purchase a model from our Sioux City, IA, Subaru dealership, we'll give you a Registration Applied For card to display in the back of your vehicle. This acts as your temporary registration for 45 days. Before that ends, you must register the vehicle with the Iowa Department of Transportation to get your permanent plates.
Compile Your Paperwork
After buying car insurance and getting your title and registration, it's time to get your paperwork in order. Your vehicle's title should be kept in a safe place in your home, such as a lockbox or safe. You should also have a copy of your vehicle insurance card and registration in your glove compartment so you can access it easily.
Schedule Your First Service Visit
Our dealers will schedule a Subaru service visit when you buy a vehicle. It's important to book this so you know when to bring your vehicle in for its first maintenance appointment. That ensures that your new vehicle doesn't have any issues affecting performance or safety.
Read the Manual
With your paperwork in order and your first service appointment scheduled, it's best to read your owner's manual next. This will familiarize you with the car's essential features and controls. It also includes a service schedule so you can plan maintenance ahead of time.
