Despite all of the talks about a La Nina winter weather pattern this year (which I guess means warm and wet), we will also probably have a cold snap or two. When the “atmospheric river” collides with the “Arctic Blast” its almost always “Snowpocalypse” in the great North West. In all seriousness I have never […]
A Question that I still seem to be asked quite often is did “Subaru ever fix the head gasket problem” or do Subaru’s still blow Head gaskets. Its September of 2023, I wrote my first post about this in 2007 If you want to read other posts about Subaru Headgasket leaks and comments from other […]
We recently went through a cold, robust winter season, with several snow fall occurrences, below normal temperatures, and even some freezing rain. While spring is almost on the horizon, the impacts from these weather events are sure to affect our road conditions. In a recent poll, it was found that Washington has the 11th roughest […]
I started this blog post by looking through some of the older articles I have posted about fuel economy and it’s interesting to take a look back and read some of my thoughts as well as comments from readers. I think we can all agree on one thing: Paying 50 cents + a gallon more […]
It’s Friday night, on your way home from a Seahawks game, in a heavy downpour (why wouldn’t it be raining – it is Washington) , and your fuel warning light pings on stating “LOW”. You swing into your local gas station, open your door, pull your fuel door release, and get out of the car, […]

For the second time in the last couple of years Subaru issued a recall for the for a long list of Subaru vehicles. The odd thing about this one is it’s really a recall of the recall as many of the cars repaired over the last couple of years were basically repaired with the same […]
Subaru Led Headlight Upgrade One of the things I have really tried to do my entire career is look for solutions when solutions are truly needed. When I started All Wheel Drive Auto in 2005 that was going to be a main focus, part of that sometimes is also getting information out so I can […]
Up until 2004 Subaru used a pretty archaic suspension system, remaining relatively unchanged since 1989 in the Subaru Legacy.
