Subaru Impreza WRX

With the introduction of the Subaru WRX concept this year—which we would love to see in showrooms—we’re taking a look back at the Subaru Impreza WRX and is place in automotive history.  As an enthusiast’s car, the Subaru Impreza WRX is a joy to drive with incredible performance and handling capabilities and of course all-wheel drive.  Since it was first introduced in America in 1993 the Subaru Impreza WRX has been offering an alternative to American sports cars that’s found acceptance with a loving crowd of tuners and rally fans.  Let’s look at some of the models which proudly bore the WRX badging over the years.

How to Adjust Headlights on Your Vehicle

Looks like it's time for an adjustment

How to Adjust Headlights

Most of us have driven a car that could benefit from tips on how to adjust headlights at some point in our driving lives.  It may have been a rental, a borrowed vehicle or even your own, but either way it was obvious that one or both of the headlights were not pointing in the optimal direction.  You may have noticed that one side of the road ahead was darker than the other, or that one beam hit the garage door noticeably lower than the other.  The one common here is that the vehicles headlights are not projecting light where they should, and it’s time for a little how to adjust headlights clinic.  Our service department is happy to assist you with all your automotive service needs, but this is one you can easily handle on your own and save a few dollars; you don’t even need any special tools to do the job or parts, just what you have around the house.

Briggs Subaru Debunks the 3,000 Mile Oil Change

This GM graphic shows modern expected oil change mileage

3,000 Mile Oil Change

If your toaster’s manufacturer told you to replace your toaster every thirty loafs of break would you?  The 3,000 mile oil change (thanks to technological improvements) is no longer important to the long-term performance of your vehicle as much as it’s a sales slogan for the quick-lube oil change business.  Let’s face it, if you drive your car like the average driver about 12,000 miles per year, there’s more money in four oil changes then there is in three, two, or just one, as some modern cars can go 10,000 miles on an oil change or further.  You may have heard of the Briggs Advantage, our commitment to your complete satisfaction, but it also means giving you the best possible advice about servicing your vehicle, including debunking the 3,000 mile oil change.  Our service department does want to be your choice for an oil change, but we’re also happy to advice our customers to follow their vehicles maintenance schedule rather than the sales rants of quick-lube locations.
