Subaru Forester Courtesy Checks

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. We do this to get a clear idea of your Subaru Forester’s maintenance needs and address any issues as early as possible. What will be inspected during a Courtesy Check? First, a technician will pop the hood on your Subaru Forester and test the battery to see how much charge it has left – and determine if it may fail in the near future. No one wants to be stranded with a dead or weak battery! The check will continue with a visual inspection of your Subaru Forester's windshield wiper blades, lights, filters, hoses, alignment, tires, fluid levels, and belts. Once your Courtesy Check is complete, you'll receive a report of your vehicle's condition. Does a Courtesy Check cost anything? Nope. Courtesy Checks are free. In exchange, you get some priceless peace of mind.

Complete Vehicle Inspection Services for Your Subaru Forester

While every visit to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a Courtesy Check, we can also dig deeper and perform a Complete Vehicle Inspection on your 1998 Subaru Forester if you prefer. A Complete Vehicle Inspection can help diagnose bothersome changes in how your car runs or handles. During a Complete Vehicle Inspection, we’ll visually check everything that’s on the list for a Courtesy Check. Additionally, we’ll perform a hands-on examination of your exhaust system, steering and suspension, and brakes. The goal of this type of inspection is to unearth significant issues that might wreak havoc on your car if left unaddressed. When it comes to your Subaru Forester, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car. And we’re proud to help you care for it.

  • What's the ideal timing for a full vehicle inspection on my Subaru Forester? You should bring your Subaru Forester in for a full vehicle inspection if something weird happens and you can’t find the problem.
