Subaru Repair & Service in Fresno, CA

Q: Why do some Subaru repairs cost more labor than I'd expect?

It comes down to the boxer engine's layout. Subaru's horizontally opposed engine sits low and wide in a tight engine bay, so jobs that are quick on a typical inline engine, like reaching the spark plugs or certain components tucked along the sides, take more time to access. You are paying for the labor to get to the part, not a pricier part itself. The good news is that a shop familiar with Subarus works efficiently in that space. Electric Laboratories Complete Car Care is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and we'll always explain the labor involved before we start.

Is a head gasket problem common on Subarus?

It was a known weak point on certain older Subarus, though it is far less of a worry on newer ones. The four-cylinder boxer engines from roughly the late 1990s through the 2000s were prone to head gasket leaks, which is why the issue became part of Subaru lore, but redesigns have made recent engines much more reliable in this area. If you drive an older model, it is worth keeping an eye out for coolant loss or overheating. Call Electric Laboratories Complete Car Care at (559) 448-8300 and we'll check your gaskets and cooling system so a small seep does not become a big repair.

What maintenance keeps a Subaru's all-wheel drive healthy?

The two things that matter most are servicing the differential fluid and keeping all four tires evenly matched. Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive shares power across all four wheels, so worn differential fluid or tires of mismatched size and tread can strain the system and lead to expensive driveline damage. Replacing tires in full sets and staying on top of gear oil protects the feature Subaru is known for. The team at Electric Laboratories Complete Car Care in Fresno can service your AWD driveline and check that your tires are keeping it happy.

IS A COURTESY CHECK NECESSARY IF I'M JUST BRINGING MY CAR IN FOR ONE SPECIFIC PROBLEM?

September 8, 2016

A customer came in last week stating his blower was not working. After checking the blower circuit we found the blower control amplifier defective and replaced it. As a serivce to our customers we always do a Courtesy Check on all vehicles which includes a 50 point inside and out inspection. We check everything from the head lights, under the hood to under the vehicle and the brakes and tires. We found his tire tread to be below recommended specifications. We notified our customer and he chose to wait on the tire replacement. We phoned him 3 days later to thank him for his service and unfortunately he had a tire blow out 2 days after leaving the shop. Fortunately, he was ok and able to get the repair done quickly and get back on the road. We hate to see this kind of thing happen after someone leaves our shop but it's our job to inform the customer about EVERYTHING that is going on with their vehicle. It's our job and our moral obligation.
