Have you been keeping up with Subaru’s recommended scheduled maintenance? What upcoming repairs do you need to be concerned with?   If you’ve maintained proper ... read more

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

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. 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

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. You might be able to ... read more
