Buzz Leonard Service Center - Preventative Vehicle Maintenance

Maintenance of your vehicle can protect from unneeded repairs in the future. An expertly trained Subaru technician has the knowledge to keep your vehicle running at an optimum performance and to help save your money. Proper maintenance maximizes fuel-efficiency, which is one of the many benefits of servicing your vehicle at Buzz Leonard.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and can improve mileage by 3%. Check pressure weekly and always when tires are cold. The sticker inside the driver's side door indicates proper pressure for your vehicle.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter

Along with routine oil and filter changes, using the lightest grade of oil for your climate, season and vehicle can improve fuel economy by as much as 6%.

Air Filter

A clogged air filter makes your engine work harder and use more fuel. Replacing a dirty air filter can improve mpg by as much as 10%.

Spark Plugs

A misfiring spark plug can cut fuel efficiency by as much as 30%. Replacing spark plugs according to owner's manual recommendations will help maintain maximum fuel efficiency.

Engine Diagnostics

A "Check Engine" light can signal a number of problems that impact fuel economy. Diagnosing and repairing a faulty oxygen sensor alone can improve fuel economy by up to 40%.

Alignment

Something as simple as an improper alignment reduces gas mileage because it takes more energy (gas) to keep your vehicle riding straight down the road.
