Service Details
At Hinsdale Automotive in Littleton, we specialize in Subaru maintenance and repair to ensure that your vehicle runs safely and efficiently. Regular automotive maintenance is crucial for preserving the condition and longevity of your vehicle. With any service, we provide 10-point inspections to help minimize the need for future repairs. Subaru vehicles, especially those with all-wheel-drive systems, require regular maintenance to keep these systems functioning optimally. Regular oil changes, coolant flushes, and monitoring fluid levels can help prevent more serious issues from developing.
Suspension and Steering
Suspension and steering issues can occur in any Subaru model, with the Outback, Legacy, and Forester being the most susceptible. If you notice clunking noises, experience a rough ride, observe uneven tire wear, or feel loose steering, we might need to replace the strut/shock, control arm bushing, and tie rod end as necessary.
Brake System
If your Subaru has brake system issues, they can affect your daily drive. The affected models are often the Outback, Legacy, and Forester. If you notice that the brake pedal feels soft, hear squeaking or grinding noises, or experience pulsation when braking, the necessary repairs may include replacing the brake pad and rotor and flushing the brake fluid.
Exhaust System
Subaru models such as the Outback, Forester, and Impreza can experience exhaust system issues. Common symptoms include a rattling noise from the exhaust, decreased performance, and an illuminated check engine light. We can address these problems by replacing exhaust components like the muffler or catalytic converter or by repairing any leaks in the system. Additionally, sensor failures, such as oxygen or knock sensors, are also common in Subarus, especially the Legacy. These failures can trigger the check engine light and lead to poor fuel economy and performance issues. Our team is equipped to diagnose and replace faulty sensors to restore your vehicle to optimal performance.
