Does Your Subaru Need A Tune-up?

 

With our busy lives, it’s easy for a couple of years to pass since your Subaru was tuned up. Spring is a good time to notice if your Subaru is really running smoothly. As you drive each day, observe any changes in its performance. If you notice any changes or if your Subaru isn’t working like it used to, call Stocker Subaru to schedule a tune-up. Our factory-trained pros can get your Subaru back up to full performance. They can also help you set up a regular maintenance schedule so you can take care of problems before they become more serious. 

? Hard Starting. This is one of the most common car troubles due to neglected maintenance. If the starter cranks the engine, the electrical system is probably okay. The problem could be as simple as a starting sensor or choke.

? Knocking. This can be caused by inferior fuel, but is often a sign your engine needs attention. Many cars built-in have knock sensors to correct minor problems, but they can't compensate for larger issues that could result in engine damage.

? Rough Running. This can be caused by a problem in the fuel or ignition system, or by a valve or piston that’s not working properly. It’s important to let your technician know when it occurs: when idling, during acceleration or at all speeds?

? Poor Gas Mileage. Keep track of your mileage. If you notice a drop in gas mileage, it could have a number of causes: under-inflated tires, engine running too cold, transmission malfunction, dragging brakes or misaligned wheels.

? Stalling. Causes include incorrect idle speed, incorrect adjustments, sensor or switch, dirty fuel system parts, worn spark plugs or other engine deficiencies. Notice when stalling takes place: when the engine’s hot, cold or with the air conditioning on?

? Dieseling. Also known as "after-run." The engine keeps chugging and coughing for a few seconds after you shut off the ignition. Causes can range from inferior gasoline and high idle speed to carbon in the combustion chamber.

? Power Loss. A dirty fuel filter commonly causes power loss. Preventative maintenance can help.

Our Stocker Subaru service technicians encourage you to take preventative measures before there are serious problems.
