Subaru Forester Maintenance Schedule

Drive with confidence around Freehold, Howell, Farmingdale, Millstone, Old Bridge, Morganville, Marlboro, Englishtown, Manalapan, Jackson, and Colts Neck. Keeping up with your Subaru Forester maintenance improves performance, maximizes longevity, and helps preserve resale value.

Quick tip: Subaru recommends service by time or mileage, whichever comes first. Your driving style and conditions (short trips, extreme temps, towing, dusty roads) may require more frequent service. Always follow your Owner's Manual for your specific model year and engine. Our Subaru-Certified technicians will tailor service to your VIN.

Taking your new Subaru Forester for regular maintenance can improve its performance as you drive through Freehold and Farmingdale, as well as increase its longevity and resale value.
