Lake Forest Park Subaru Repair

Subaru's are pretty much the best vehicle out there - in our humble opinion. We oughta know, between our personal daily drivers and our free customer service loaners, we have just under 20 incredible Subarus. Especially those of us, living in the Pacific Northwest and braving the Washington elements, we know the benefits of driving a Subaru. But although your Subaru is all wheel drive, intelligently made, and has the mechanics of a champ...we will be the first to say that snow tires are definitely worth considering, especially if you hit the slopes and ski or board. On the way up and back, you will encounter snow and ice, and sub 45 degree temps. Many areas in Washington, whether you're in a city like Seattle or farther out into the country, see ice and snow regularly during the winter,with below freezing road temps, usually with snow and ice accumulation. Even compared to All Season tires, snow tires will noticeably reduce wheel spin and sliding on slick surfaces. But if you ... read more

While cars and bikes have full access to the road, bikes are at a disadvantage since they are much more vulnerable to danger and injury. Not only are they missing key components from a car like airbag, lights, a loud motor, and surrounded by steel, but they are also about one tenth of the size making them hard to see. As a Subaru Service company, we want you to be the safest possible when driving in your vehicle. With our beautiful Washington roads, you're bound to come across bicyclists all over the Pacific Northwest. We took these following tips from ShareTheRoad.AAA so that you can be prepared when sharing the road. Stay alert = avoid all distractions while driving. Yield to bicycles when turning. In bad weather, give bicyclists extra passing room, just as you would other motorists. Look f ... read more
