Subaru vehicles are designed to last well after most people keep their vehicles. You may have heard that 96 percent of all Subaru vehicles sold in the past ten years are still on the roads today, according to Experian Automotive data. This is a testament to the excellent quality and longevity that Subaru vehicles deliver. However, Subaru vehicles, like all cars, require regular maintenance and upkeep to protect their reliability, performance, and high safety standards.
At Gerald Jones Subaru, we deliver Subaru-certified maintenance and repair services to help your Subaru last well after you've traded it or passed it on to a loved one. Learn more about Subaru Service and Maintenance with our team of Subaru experts.
Subaru Service FAQs
Q: When Does My Subaru Need Maintenance?
A: Subaru vehicles generally need maintenance every six months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Q: How do I know when it's time to replace my tires?
A: Tire tread depth is a good indicator of when your tires are reaching their end. You can check tread depth yourself by slipping a penny headfirst between your tire's tread. If your tires are so worn that you can see the top of Lincoln's head, talk to us about finding a new set of tires.

Q: When does my car need an oil change?
