Photo by huoadg5888 from Pixabay   October comes with many different emotions here at Suburb Service. While it’s a fun month for children with Halloween at the end and the Holidays in sight, it’s also a month where we worry about the safety of our vehicles quite a bit. With people traveling for the holidays, an iffy set of brakes can spell disaster for a family.    We try to get as many people in during October for their wintering needs, as the traffic picks up quite a bit in November and December! We hope that if your Subaru requires brake repairs or other services, you will please get in touch with us soon to arrange service!   For us, one of the most beautiful ... read more

They’ve even invented a Dog Mode that allows your Subaru to run the A/C with the doors locked while you’re running errands, to keep your pets cool and happy!   Here’s a curated guide to our favorite Subaru commercials featuring dogs!   ... read more

Do you understand how fundamentally unique your Subaru is? Most Subaru owners know there’s something quite special and unique about their Subaru. You see it in their love and loyalty for the brand. Subaru love is mighty! It’s not your imagination, though, or the special love you are attaching to a car brand that you like. Subarus are very different to most other vehicles.  In most cars, the pistons go up and down as they generate power. It’s the way combustion is done all over the world. But Subaru does it differently. The pistons in a Subaru go side-to-side.  This difference creates some unique advantages to the engine.

Dear Friends and Family, When Suburb Service’s owner Candy Johns passed away a few short months ago, so very many of you responded with warmth and kindness, and let us know how loved Candy was in the North Seattle community that her shop served. We are forever grateful for the love and care you showed all of us here at Suburb Service, especially to Howard Musolf, her husband. We understand that there may be some anxiety over what her passing wil mean to our shop. There are some ventures that are too specific to a person to continue when they pass. A business can often be like that. Suburb Service, however, is not that kind of business. For almost all of our years, we’ve been a woman-owned business in a largely-male industry. We’ve always been forward-thinking, from the moment Howard began it, to the day he gave it fully to Candy, and in the years she made such a remarkable difference to North Seattle. We continue to be forward-thinking to this day.  Candy was ... read more
