Subaru Repair in Raleigh, NC
Professional Subaru Service from Certified Technicians
Understanding Your Subaru’s Unique Engineering
When your Subaru needs attention, King’s Auto Service in Raleigh provides specialized care for these distinctively engineered vehicles. Our ASE-certified technicians understand the intricacies of Subaru’s boxer engine design, which sits lower in the engine bay and creates a unique center of gravity that enhances vehicle stability. This horizontally opposed engine configuration requires diagnostic approaches and repair techniques that differ from traditional inline engines. Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive system works in harmony with the boxer engine to deliver exceptional traction and handling in all driving conditions. While this drivetrain offers excellent performance and safety, it also requires specialized knowledge for repairs or maintenance. Our team stays up to date with Subaru-specific training to ensure your vehicle receives expert care, whether you drive an Outback, Forester, Impreza, Crosstrek, or another Subaru model.
Routine Maintenance and Inspection
Regular car maintenance is necessary for all vehicles. Not only does maintenance ensure your car is running efficiently and safely, but it also prevents problems from developing, extends its lifespan, and increases its current and resale value. At King’s Auto Service, we perform the full spectrum of auto maintenance services. Oil change service, for example, is the most common service your vehicle will need. When oil gets old, it becomes incredibly less effective at lubricating and cleaning/absorbing, eventually hindering engine performance and efficiency. Tire rotations are an additional service we offer, which involves removing each tire, inspecting the wear pattern, and repositioning each as an effort to distribute wear more evenly. Other Ford maintenance services we provide include oil, cabin air, and engine air filter replacement, fluid top-offs or replacement, general and part-specific inspection (including the NC State Inspection), diagnostics, and more. Please reach out to our team at (919) 834-0748 for a full list of maintenance tasks our Ford repair and maintenance experts can do for you.
