Lake Forest Park Subaru Repair

Photo by Kevin Solbrig on Unsplash   With Autumn quickly moving in on the West Coast, we're starting to settle into a routine that begins each fall in Lake Forest Park. For many of us, it is born out of values we learned growing up. The Holidays are coming, and many of us still feel the implied threat of "better watch out"! We hunker down and focus on our work.   Instead of ensuring we get the toy we want, our rewards run deeper as adults. We're getting ahead so that the holidays don't get us behind. We're making preparations for our kids (or fur babies). We're making some slack for ourselves, so we can have a peaceful transition to winter.   October is just the beginning of this ... read more

A tune-up is an important part of regularly scheduled maintenance for your vehicle. When you bring your Subaru in for a tune-up, our certified technicians will inspect and service all the major systems of your car. This includes checking the engine, transmission, brakes, fluid levels, and more ... read more

We hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July!   Independence Day is many things to many Americans. It’s a wonderful teaching moment for the history buffs-- civics, the three-ring Democracy, the Boston Tea Party, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Crispus Attucks, Paul Revere, John Paul Jones, the crossing of the Delaware-- the list goes on and on.    For others, this is an important time to build character within our family. To the sons and daughters of liberty, it’s a time to reaffirm tha ... read more

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
