If you’re planning to schedule service at Kirby Subaru of Ventura, here’s a helpful FAQ to get you started. 

What Are Some Reasons Why My Car Won’t Start?

There are several reasons why a car won’t start. These include a dead battery, a bad starter, a faulty alternator, or a broken timing belt. Our team will be able to accurately diagnose and fix the problem to get you back on the road in no time.

What Should I Do If My Car’s Check Engine Light Turns On?

All of your car’s major components are equipped with sensors that will alert you when an issue arises. Many times, an illuminated check engine light isn’t a major emergency. However, we recommend erring on the safe side by visiting our Subaru dealership serving Oxnard, CA, so we can diagnose the issue.

What’s the Rule Regarding Tire Rotations and Replacement?

Your car’s tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. During these visits, our team will also inspect the tires for low pressure, irregular wear patterns, and leaks. Tire replacement generally happens around 45,000 miles, but can depend on your driving habits.

How Often Should I Have the Brakes Inspected?

Whenever you bring your car in for routine maintenance, we’ll inspect the brake system. An important part of this inspection is measuring the thickness of the brake pads. These essential Subaru parts are key to reliable stopping power, so it’s important that they’re checked frequently and replaced promptly.

Why Should I Service with You and Not My Local Auto Shop?

There are three big reasons to choose us. First, our team engages in regular Subaru factory training to reinforce their knowledge of the latest service solutions. Second, whereas your local auto shop might know a little about a lot of different cars, our service pros know everything there is to know about Subaru models. Because of the above reasons, a record of service at a certified Subaru dealership like ours is a also a big boon when it comes time to trade in or sell your vehicle.
