Children tend to run in and out of traffic when on the way home from school. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and make sure to stay safe ... read more

It's easy to take our eye off the ball where our Subaru is concerned and forget to give it the attention it needs. When was the last time you brought your Subaru in for a tune-up?    If you can't remember, it's probably been too long.

We hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July!   Independence Day is many things to many Americans.

They have so many wonderful features, and they seem to get more personal to us as the years roll by us. We would never hurt our cars intentionally.   But even people in love with their cars can be terrible about maintaining them. Especially when financial issues arise and you say fervent prayers that nothing will go wrong with the car you depend upon for your errands or your work. If you live paycheck to paycheck in this economy, it’s difficult to see the sense in taking a well-running car into a shop for minor issues and annoyances.   The most important underlying feature of preventive maintenance ... read more

Photo by Daniel Baird on Unsplash As the Spring begins to turn to summer, it’s a good time to consider if your Subaru’s air conditioning is working properly. Is it?   The Air Conditioning is not considered by many to be that important to the operation of your vehicle, because almost all Subarus run their Air Conditioning separate from their coolant system. But don't forget that the ac works with the defrost to keep the windows clear from steaming up. As Spring turns to Summer, this is the right time to act, before others need to-- especially during a period of supply chain woes.   To many, when money’s tight, it’s more of an inconvenience than a serious problem.
