TAKE CARE AND ENJOY THE RIDE

For most people, a vehicle is a significant investment, it's often second only to purchasing a home. So it makes sense that you would want to do everything in your power to preserve that investment. Luckily, there's a very easy way to care for your Subaru: Simply follow the steps prescribed by your Subaru Maintenance Guide.

When you bring your vehicle to our certified Subaru service centre for regular maintenance by Subaru factory-trained technicians, you benefit in many ways. You keep your vehicle operating at peak efficiency, thereby achieving reduced emissions, improved performance and optimum fuel economy. You can prevent larger and more expensive repairs down the road. You preserve your warranty coverage. You boost your vehicle's resale value and can also extend its life considerably.

The lesson here: Take good care of your Subaru and it will take good care of you, providing many years of confident and carefree motoring. More than 95% of the Subaru vehicles sold in Canada over the last 10 years are still on the road today, and by simply following the guidelines set out in the Subaru Maintenance Guide, you could add your Subaru to this collection.
