Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Subaru Impreza Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Subaru Impreza for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Impreza’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1997 Subaru Impreza? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Impreza may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Subaru Impreza battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Impreza) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Subaru Impreza could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1997 Subaru Impreza engine. To learn how often Subaru recommends you have the oil changed in your 1997 Impreza, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1997 Subaru Impreza? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Subaru Impreza can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Subaru Impreza steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Subaru Impreza's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Subaru Impreza maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Subaru Impreza’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.

  • When should I have Subaru Impreza alignment checked? You know your Subaru Impreza better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving.

As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Subaru Impreza to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
