How to Maximise Subaru Performance with Lube Mobile

The typical Subaru driving experience is smooth, reliable, and built to last, but what happens when you need a Subaru car service or safety inspection done?
 

Regular Subaru inspections are more than just a routine maintenance procedure; they contribute to your vehicle’s long-term health and safety. Think of it as a medical check-up for your vehicle: crucial for preventing issues and ensuring it runs as smoothly as it did when you first drove it out of the showroom.
 

Lube Mobile has mobile workshops operating all over Australia, with a strong presence in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Darwin, Hobart and Adelaide, and many other locations. It doesn’t matter if you are driving close to home or on the other side of the country, with Lube Mobile we truly are the local mechanic that is always ‘near me’. You can rely on us while you're away from home on holidays and to help you out if things go a little pear-shaped with your vehicle.

Subaru Service

If you’re thinking of using aftermarket parts for your Subaru car service, however, there are a few factors to consider:
 

Warranty. If your Subaru is under warranty, using non-approved parts could void the warranty or provide specific warranty coverage for the repaired part.

 

Quality and compatibility. While individual parts may be compatible with your vehicle in general, specific brands or designs may not be. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, consult with your Lube Mobile mechanic first regarding parts compatibility with your Subaru.

 

Resale value. If you’re planning on putting your car on the market, using official or Subaru-approved parts could maintain or improve its resale value.

 

Having your Subaru service completed with Lube Mobile is easy. As we come to your home, workplace, and in fact anywhere that the car is located, you can consider us truly the mechanic that is ‘near me.’ Lube Mobile is a network of highly experienced mobile mechanics with locations all over Australia for the last 42 years.

 

Ultimately, it’s not strictly necessary to use genuine Subaru parts outside of specific circumstances. Quality aftermarket parts can also be an appropriate and cost-effective choice, particularly for vehicles out of warranty.

 

Discuss your warranty terms with your Lube Mobile mechanic first before deciding how you’d like your Subaru car repair to proceed.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Many new cars are sold with Subaru capped price servicing. However, this is usually determined at the time of purchase and is often used as a negotiation tool. While you don’t need to take your vehicle back to the dealership to keep your warranty, the sales people will offer capped pricing on the service. Although sometimes this may only cover the service and not parts used. It is best to check the costs involved and compare prices with other mechanics, just to be certain that you are getting the best deal. At Lube Mobile, all of our quotes include all parts and lubricants used. You can call us on 13 30 32 to get an over the phone quote on your Subaru service.
 

If you have other problems with your vehicle that is to be repaired at the same time as your service, that may add to the overall time. Provided we know what issues are happening with the car we can give you an estimate on time before we arrive. When you use Lube Mobile you don’t need to worry about picking your car up at a certain time.

When it comes to repairs, using genuine Subaru parts largely depends on your specific needs, warranty status, and preferences. When it comes to Subaru parts replacement, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are specifically designed to meet the automaker’s specifications for their vehicles.

For a Subaru service, you should plan to be without your car for around two hours. However, if you take your car to a workshop, general mechanic, or the dealership, you will most likely be without your car for the entire day. At Lube Mobile, we will only keep your vehicle for as long as the service takes. This is a part of the convenient service that you’ll get from Lube Mobile.

At the time of booking in for your Subaru service, we can tell you how much it will cost. If your car is out of warranty and you’re after a standard annual service, these are easy to calculate. If you’re getting a warranty service, we can offer you a price that is comparable to your Subaru dealership service, especially when you factor in the convenience of having Lube Mobile visit your home to look after your car.
 

When a car is under warranty, we’ll need to follow the service guide in the logbook. This is to make sure that you can keep your warranty valid. Although many cars are sold with Subaru fixed price servicing, sometimes it can be cheaper to take your car to another workshop. To find out if we can offer a cheaper price, we’d recommend giving Lube Mobile a call on 13 30 32, and we’ll offer you a price for the service you need.

 

Having a clear idea of how much a Subaru service will cost gives you the information you need to make an informed decision on where you get your car serviced. Sometimes returning your car to the dealership for a service is time-consuming and can add to the overall costs, especially if you need to arrange for transport to and from the workshop.

The exact time between getting your Subaru service all depends on the age of the car. For a vehicle that is still under warranty, you need to follow the guidelines as set out in the car’s logbook. All the services completed will have one of the pages filled out and then signed by the mechanic that completed it. Most of these services will follow a pattern, usually every 5,000 - 20,000km, for ease of use you can check your logbook at any time. Keeping the book updated is best for maintaining your warranty.
 

For all other vehicles, Lube Mobile recommends having your car serviced at least once per year, which equates to once every 15,000-20,000km. However, for every third year you should book in for our three-yearly service, and then every six years you should book it for a major service. This staggered approach is because many of the lubricants in the car will wear and need to be replaced at different rates. If it has been a long time between services, we’d recommend booking for a major service to get it back on track.

Generally speaking, a major Subaru car service may vary depending on your car model, its age, and the particular car service station or service provider. That being said, a Subaru major maintenance service may include the following service items:
 

For any car that has passed its warranty period, we’ll perform one of three services. At Lube Mobile, these are a yearly service, a three (3) year service, and a six (6) year service. While the latter ones will vary slightly, they all include what is completed during an annual service and these are:
 

  • Changing the engine oils and filters
  • Under bonnet check and fluids top up
  • A safety inspection, including the braking systems
  • Battery tests and cable checks (which may include replacements)
  • Tyre inspection (tyre rotation may or may not be included)
  • Fuel system check (fuel filter replacement may or may not be included)
  • Exhaust system inspection
  • Cooling system inspection
  • Steering and suspension diagnostics
  • Lights and electrical system diagnostics
     

Typically, you’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing the checks and any potential issues discovered during the service.
 

Some services, like Lube Mobile’s Ultimate Service, may also include cleaning or detailing as part of the service. Subaru car service prices may vary between major inspections as well, depending on how comprehensive you’d like to go with your vehicle.
 

The above is only a general list and might not fully represent what’s included in a Subaru car service for every model. It’s also best to check your owner’s manual and get a detailed service scheduled according to your vehicle’s warranty or maintenance requirements. Feel free to ask our customer service team for a Subaru car service cost comparison for our offered services as well.

Regular Subaru car service or maintenance is crucial for maintaining the vehicle’s overall health, performance, and longevity. Consistent check-ups allow mechanics to identify and address small issues before they escalate, become more costly to fix, and compromise your safety. For instance, a general tune-up or brake service could catch issues early and prevent brake or engine issues from developing.
 

Additionally, regular inspections ensure that all systems are running efficiently, contributing to better fuel efficiency and smoother handling. Regular inspections and maintenance can also greatly improve your car’s resale value down the line.

 

Regular inspections safeguard both your vehicle and your well-being on the road. Whether it’s an oil change, tune-up, brake service, or diagnostics, have a Subaru car service performed by certified Subaru car service mechanics from Lube Mobile and keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely.

 

We can provide all this and more by bringing the workshop to your driveway. Just book your preferred schedule, and our mechanics can typically be on-site within twenty-four hours. We provide mobile car and tyre services Monday through Saturday.
