A check engine light tells you that your Subaru’s computer has detected a problem, but the trouble code doesn’t always identify the actual cause.
Our technicians use professional diagnostic equipment and testing procedures to determine why the warning light is on before recommending repairs.
We diagnose Subaru concerns such as:
- Check engine lights
- Engine misfires
- Rough idle
- Hard starting
- Stalling
- Loss of power
- Poor fuel economy
- Warning lights
- Electrical problems
- Overheating
- Unusual engine noises
- Transmission and drivability problems
Proper diagnosis can help prevent unnecessary parts replacement and ensure the actual cause of the problem is addressed.
Many Subaru vehicles use a continuously variable transmission (CVT) along with Subaru’s all-wheel-drive system. Maintaining the transmission and drivetrain is important for vehicle reliability and performance.
We can inspect and service Subaru drivetrain concerns including:
- CVT fluid condition and leaks
- Transmission leaks
- Shuddering or vibration
- Delayed engagement
- Transmission warning lights
- Front differential service
- Rear differential service
- CV axles and CV joints
- Wheel bearings
- Drivetrain noises
If your Subaru develops a vibration, shudder, unusual noise, or transmission warning light, our technicians can diagnose the problem before recommending repairs.
Oil and coolant leaks should be inspected before they become larger problems. Continuing to drive with low engine oil or coolant can lead to expensive engine damage.
Small World Auto Repair can diagnose and repair:
- Engine oil leaks
- Coolant leaks
- Overheating
- Radiator problems
- Thermostat problems
- Water pump problems
- Cooling fan problems
- Timing system concerns
- Engine noises
- Engine performance problems
- Major engine repairs
Our team also has access to extensive automotive machining capabilities for cylinder heads and major engine repairs when needed.
A properly functioning brake and suspension system is especially important for the wet roads and changing driving conditions we experience in Oregon.
We service Subaru brake and suspension components including:
- Brake pads and rotors
- Brake calipers
- Brake fluid
- Struts and shocks
- Control arms
- Ball joints
- Sway bar links
- Tie rod ends
- Wheel bearings
- CV axles
If your Subaru is making a clunking or grinding noise, pulling while driving, vibrating, bouncing excessively, or developing uneven tire wear, we can inspect the vehicle and determine the cause.
Regular maintenance is one of the best ways to extend the life of your Subaru and reduce the chance of unexpected repairs.
Depending on your Subaru’s year, model, mileage, and driving conditions, maintenance may include:
- Engine oil and filter changes
- Tire rotations
- Brake inspections
- Brake fluid service
- Engine and cabin air filters
- Spark plugs
- Cooling system inspections
- Battery testing
- Steering and suspension inspections
- Transmission or CVT inspections
- Differential service
Instead of recommending services based on mileage alone, we can review your Subaru’s maintenance history and current condition to help prioritize what actually needs attention.
