Subaru Service FAQs

01

Why is my check engine light on?

There are a variety of reasons your check engine light is on, from loose gas caps to more serious mechanical issues. While a quick and easy fix might be all that’s needed, it’s always best to be cautious and seek professional attention in case of a serious issue. Our Subaru service technicians have the skill and knowledge to swiftly identify any problems within your vehicle’s engine and will work quickly to get you back on the road.

02

How often should I rotate my car’s tires?

Car tire rotations should be performed about every 5,000 miles. It’s important to rotate and balance tires to avoid uneven wear and tear, as this could lead to reduced fuel efficiency and tire issues in the future. By scheduling Subaru tire rotations with us, you can extend the life of your tires and minimize the risk of other car problems. To get new tire replacements or to check your tire pressure, turn to the team at our nearby Subaru service center.

03

How often should my car get an oil change?

A good rule of thumb is to get a regular or full synthetic oil change every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. We also recommend that you check your vehicle’s owner’s manual and follow the maintenance schedule within. It’s worth noting that every car is different, and factors such as your commute, how you drive and the conditions you drive in can all impact how often you should change your vehicle’s oil.

04

What does it mean when the check oil light turns on?

When the oil warning light comes on, it is a sign that the engine oil pressure has dropped to a low level, which means you should schedule Subaru service in Nampa as soon as possible at Treasure Valley Subaru.

05

How long do car batteries last?

A typical car battery will last 3-5 years depending on the weather, how much you drive and your driving habits. While the life of your car battery will vary depending on those factors, it’s generally accepted that a new battery should last you a minimum of three years. That is why it’s important to get a car battery inspection regularly and stay on top of your Subaru maintenance.

06

Why are my brakes squeaking?

Squeaky car brakes can be caused by several different things. If you are lucky, the squeaking is being caused by moisture and dirt that has built up on the rotors. This would mean that your brakes are still operational. However, squeaking can also be caused by worn out brake pads, rotors that are losing their reliability or a myriad of other issues. Noise from your brakes needs to be checked immediately if it is frequent and lasts for more than a day.

07

How often should I change my brake pads?

Typically, brake pads should be changed every 10,000 to 20,000 miles. However, this number can vary based on a few different factors. In fact, the quality of the brakes, the environment they are being driven in and the habits of the driver can all influence how long your brake pads last. Make sure to have your mechanic check your brake pads during routine maintenance to ensure their quality.

08

Is it a good idea to service a car at a dealership?

Yes, it is! Having a car serviced at a local car dealership is ideal for those who want professionals working on their vehicle. Not only does Treasure Valley Subaru have highly trained service technicians, but we also have the tools necessary to ensure your car is repaired correctly with OEM Subaru parts.
