5 Ways to Maintenance for your Subaru

As the owner of your Subaru, it is your responsibility to make sure you get regular scheduled maintenance to ensure longevity and reliable performance. There are many ways for you to be aware of your vehicle and maintenance.


Subaru has more than just one reason to celebrate a milestone in the auto industry. First, 2007 marks its three-year anniversary of zero landfill status at its manufacturing plant, Subaru of Indiana Automotive. Second milestone to celebrate is the sale of its 100,000th PZEV or Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle.

Both milestones reflect the long-standing commitment of the Japanese automaker in safeguarding the environment. This fact is avidly enjoyed by Subaru’s clientele. "We are pleased to mark these milestones," said Tomohiko Ikeda, the chairman, president and CEO, Subaru of America Inc. "At Subaru, we are committed to not only maintain an effective environmental management system, but also to integrate sound environmental practices throughout our business."
