๐Ÿš— Subaru Storytime ๐Ÿ“–
Another great Subaru example of how servicing your oil every 5000 km or every 6 months really protects your engine long term.

Today we completed a valve cover gasket job on an 11-year-old Subaru with 194,000 km. The spark plug tube seals have started to seep a little, which is normal at this age, and the inside of this engine still looks incredibly clean โœจ

No varnish build up, no sludge, no signs of camshaft wear. After nearly 200,000 km, this engine is clean, healthy and performing like new ๐Ÿ”ง Ready for another 200,000 km of reliable driving.

At The Garage, we take pride in protecting your long-term automotive investment. A little more frequent servicing goes a long way ๐Ÿ’ช

Back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, manufacturers recommended oil and filter services every 5000 km or every 6 months for almost every vehicle.

Clients often tell us โ€œthey donโ€™t build cars like they used to,โ€ after costly breakdowns. With more than 100 years of combined experience, we see every day that modern engines stay reliable when they receive the same consistent care older vehicles once did.

Newer vehicles are built with impressive engineering and durability. They simply need the same maintenance attention that older generations used to get ๐Ÿš—โœจ

Twin Subaru Crosstreks in the shop last week.

Both came in for their spring servicing before summer adventures begin. We performed front and rear differential fluid replacements to keep their Symmetrical AWD systems performing at their best.

These systems shine on BC city roads and off-road trails when theyโ€™re maintained on schedule. Fresh fluids help prevent wear, keep the driveline smooth, and ensure reliable traction for all the camping, road-tripping, and exploring ahead.

Spring is the perfect time to prep your Subaru for the season.

One of our philosophies here at the Garage is that โ€˜it pays to maintainโ€™. ๐Ÿ”ง

At TheGarage we like to look at it from the perspective of, โ€œwhat can we do to make sure the vehicle avoids a Big expensive repair job that forces the decision to potentially let go of a vehicle at an inconvenient timeโ€.โ“

Our answer often is;
Perform proper and regular maintenance to keep the vehicle in great condition year after year.

We believe and have proven in many case scenarios that most vehicles can do 300,000km+ and last 20+ yearsโฑ if they are well cared for over their lifespan.

We have seen many times the same type of vehicles side by side, and itโ€™s always clear which one has been cared for and which has been neglected.

Avoid the stress of breakdowns and feeling rushed/forced to make difficult decisions. Invest in a proper maintenance plan to keep your car running smooth for many years into the future!!

We are always happy to schedule a consultation with one of our service advisors to discuss your options and provide information & perspective that will help you with all your vehicle decisions.

๐Ÿ”ง A Great Reminder of Why Inspections Matter

A client recently brought their 2014 Subaru Forester with only 97,000 km to us for their first visit at The Garage. Their goal was simple. Get a clear picture of the vehicleโ€™s overall condition and create a maintenance plan moving forward since they plan to keep the car long term.

The client did not report any concerns. The brakes were not making noise and everything felt normal during the road test. During our inspection, we discovered something serious. The brake pads were actually broken in half and sitting loosely inside the calipers. The rotors were also heavily rusted from the vehicleโ€™s lifestyle use. This Forester spends a lot of time on camping trips, outdoor adventures, and winter ski runs.

This situation is a great example of why routine inspections are so important, even when there are no obvious noises or symptoms. Many components slowly degrade over time from age, rust, and environmental conditions, especially here in BC.

Fortunately, we caught this early. Our team was able to repair the issue before it caused further damage to the braking system or created a safety concern.

The most valuable thing you can do as a vehicle owner is schedule a thorough inspection. It helps you understand the true condition of your vehicle and allows you to catch problems early, before they turn into bigger and more expensive repairs.

We're here to serve you, and help you Drive with Confidence!

๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’ฅ Suspension refresh underway! Just completed a shock upgrade on a 2004 Subaru Impreza, bringing back that smooth ride and tight handling it had when it first hit the road. ๐Ÿš™โœจ

Your vehicleโ€™s suspension system is key to a comfortable and safe ride, and over time, those shocks can wear out. If your rideโ€™s starting to feel bumpy or your car isnโ€™t handling corners like it used to, it might be time for a shock replacement!

Choose the Garage in Burnaby and Drive with Confidence. Weโ€™ll keep your suspension in top shape for many more miles to come! ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ”ง
