Why should I service my vehicle at MetroWest Subaru instead of a local mechanic?

And you can give us a call to schedule if you'd prefer!

Is there a difference between your parts department and a generic parts retailer?

There sure is. Generic parts have not been produced with the meticulous level of care and precision that was put forth when Subaru originally manufactured the vehicle and its components. Generic and off-brand parts may initially be cheaper, but since they have not been specifically designed for your particular vehicle, they could give you more complicated and costly problems in the future. Play it safe and only used original and genuine Subaru parts like the ones found here in Natick.

What does this service light on my dashboard mean?

Seeing an unfamiliar indicator light suddenly pop up on the dash is certainly a very common yet very unsettling thing for drivers to see. On one hand, very often it indicates a minor issue that is not urgent by any means. On the other hand however, it's possible that it means a more serious issue is present and more complex repairs are necessary. We'll diagnose whatever light you're seeing right away and present you with an easy fix.

What are the most common services needed for vehicle maintenance?

By far the best way to keep up with the health of your Subaru car, wagon or SUV is to perform routine maintenance, all of which is handled on a daily basis here at MetroWest Subaru. Our experienced technicians commonly deal with minor yet significant service tasks such as brake inspections, battery tests, air filter replacements, windshield wiper replacements and of course, oil changes among many others.

How often should I change my oil?

The days of changing your oil every 3,000 miles are long gone. However, your specific intervals for changing the oil in your Subaru does in fact depend on the particular model and model-year that you are driving, as this plays a major role in how often your oil needs attention. Give our service department a call or simply ask a technician here in Natick to find out what the number is for you!
