Is it Necessary to Get Maintenance for a Subaru That's Leased?
Even if you're leasing your Subaru, it's important to follow up with scheduled maintenance. Failure to do so can lead to the voiding of the warranty and can damage the vehicle. It can also mean that you'll have to pay more than you had planned on when the lease is over. Ultimately, keeping up with recommended maintenance of your leased Subaru will save you time and money.
Fortunately, maintenance is easy with a leased vehicle. If you have a 36-month lease, you will probably only have to bring your Subaru in for scheduled service about three times. Of course, you'll want to check your Subaru owner's manual for the proper maintenance schedule of things like oil changes and tire rotations.
It is important to remember, however, that every car is different--as are driving styles. Depending on how you drive your vehicle, it may be necessary to bring it in for service more or less often. Talking to a Subaru authorized service provider is an easy way to figure out the right schedule for your Subaru.
One of the easiest ways to keep up with the scheduled maintenance of a Subaru that's being leased is to include maintenance with the lease. This way, it's only a matter of swinging by an authorized Subaru dealer when it's time for maintenance, and there will be no bill to pay at the time of service.
So, what happens if you don't keep up with maintenance on a Subaru lease? It's not likely that the vehicle will break down before the lease is up, but you will be held responsible for the lack of upkeep that will far exceed the cost of simply having the maintenance done when it was supposed to be.
