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 Hunts Point Service Station at (718) 991-8808 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 Hunts Point Service Station in The Bronx can service your AWD driveline and check that your tires are keeping it happy.

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. Hunts Point Service Station is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and we'll always explain the labor involved before we start.

How to Improve Your Car’s Gas Mileage?

June 7, 2023
How to Improve Your Car’s Gas Mileage? Here are some of the things you can do to ensure improved gas mileage for your car: Driving Habits Keep your car clean. Mud on the undercarriage can weigh a significant amount and slow you down. Consolidate your daily trips and errands. This will also save you the cost of restarting your engine, which uses a lot of gas. Avoid air conditioning when possible. However, when driving at higher speeds, having your windows open also creates drag. Don’t throttle the gas or brake pedal! Sudden starts or stops use more gas than gradual changes in speed. Don’t idle for too long. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a lengthy wait. Limit car warm-ups in winter. Clear out the trunk. More weight equals more drag. Avoid high speeds. We know this is almost impossible to resist but you can improve your gas mileage by up to 15 percent driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph. Use overdrive. If your car is equipped with overdrive gearing use it as soon as your speed is high enough. Use cruise control. Maintaining a constant speed is ideal for improving your gas mileage. Servicing Your Vehicle Replace the spark plugs in your engine regularly. This way, the air and fuel mixture will burn cleaner and more efficiently. Improve the intake/output system. By allowing gas to get in and exhaust out of your vehicle you will improve the vehicle’s overall performance and gas mileage. Reduce friction. Use high-quality or synthetic motor oil. Check your oil! Low oil makes your engine work harder. Change your filters. Dirty filters can sometimes increase the amount of fuel your vehicle uses by as much as 10 percent. Keep tires properly inflated and aligned. Check regularly to ensure your wheels are fully inflated and your alignment is good. Get regular engine tune-ups and car maintenance checks. A lot can go wrong with a car. Damaged spark plugs or transmission problems can also contribute to poor gas mileage.
