Whether you're commuting through Norwich or adventuring through the Adirondacks, proper maintenance is essential. Our Advantage Program doesn’t just make servicing your Subaru easy—it actually saves you hundreds (even thousands) of dollars on services you’d be paying for anyway. Why Pay More for the Same Service? Oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, brake checks—these aren’t optional. They’re the key to keeping your Subaru running safely, efficiently, and in warranty. With the Customer Advantage Program, you’re locking in today’s service prices for years to come —no surprises, no inflation, no overpaying later. Choose from our 1-Year, 3-Year, or 5-Year maintenance plans and bundle essential services at a fraction of the normal cost. For example: 1-Year Plan – $299 Includes two synthetic oil changes, one tire rotation, a New York State inspection, wiper inserts, plus multiple battery, brake, and alignment checks. Even better? It’s complimentary with a new or used vehicle purchase. 3-Year Plan – $999 (Retail Value: $2,972) That’s nearly $2,000 in savings, plus added perks like courtesy shuttle service and a $500 loyalty coupon for your next Subaru. 5-Year Plan – $1,499 (Retail Value: $4,620) Ten oil changes, five tire rotations, and inspections galore—all for less than the cost of a single major repair bill. No matter which plan you choose, you’ll also enjoy exclusive perks like a $25 discount on major mileage services, courtesy pick-up and drop-off, and extended service hours that work around your schedule.

Schedule your service appointment with us today! Zappone Subaru’s Guide To Storing Your Summer Tires: Keep them clean. This is probably the best advice that you can receive when it comes to storing tires. During use, your tires accumulate brake dust, dirt, road grime, and all sorts of other nasty gunk which can cause tire damage if it sits on your tires for a long period of time (aka fall & winter months!) So, grab some soap, a tire brush, and a bucket of water and get to cleaning before storing these bad boys away for the winter. We recommend using an approved wheel cleaner, avoid using tire gloss or dressing, and allow your tires to completely dry before moving on to the next step. Airtight is right. Once your tires are clean and properly dried, you want to place them into a large, dark, airtight plastic bag. Lawn and garden bags work perfectly or you can choose to purchase tire storing bags online. Your choice! Secure the bag with a zip tie or tape after removing as much air as possible. This will keep oil compounds from escaping. Upright is important. Next, choose to store your tires upright and avoid stacking them if possible. If you keep your wheels mounted, you will want to stack them. If you choose not to use bags, store tires white to white and black to black. This will keep your tires clean! Store your tires like a pro. Keeping your tires out of direct sunlight and away from ozone sources is a MUST. Intense heat can damage your tires. So keep out of direct sunlight (yes, even in the winter), away from electric motors, furnaces, or basement sump pumps. Tires like it cool and dry. So places like basements, climate-controlled garages or workshops are the best places to store your tires. Anywhere that is exposed to extreme temperatures cold or hot and wet, is a no-go. Not going to be using your vehicle for the winter? Well, it’s still important to move that vehicle to ensure that your tire’s rubber compounds are lubricated and supple. This will help relieve stress on the tires and keep them healthy!

Happy 2024! The Zappone Subaru team is excited to reign in the new year amongst our awesome community here in Norwich, NY! And with a new year comes a fresh start! Why not give your ride a bit of attention so that it can be ready for all the adventures you have planned ahead! Below we have compiled a list of New Year’s Maintenance Tips to get your ride looking and driving like new! Check those out below and if you’d like to leave the tune-ups to a professional, be sure to schedule your service appointment at our Subaru Service Center online today! Zappone Subaru’s New Year’s Maintenance Tips: Headlights: Many new vehicles have LED headlights that you can’t just pop out and clean, so you might need scheduled maintenance with our team if this is your situation. If you still have non-LED lighting, it’s important to clean/replace your headlights to avoid haziness. Clouded headlights can be a safety hazard, compromising night vision, and reducing the effectiveness of your headlights. This is especially dangerous in winter, where conditions are less than favorable and the darkness is more consistent. You can purchase a headlight cleaning kit, or use household items such as a toothbrush, baking soda, and owner’s manual approved products. Wipers: Windshield wipers maintenance is regularly overlooked. However, your wipers are extremely important for your vision behind the wheel...especially in the fall and winter months. Leaves will be falling very soon, and rain is no stranger to the fall months. This means you’ll need strong wipers to clear the leaves and rain off your windshield. Right after the leaves comes the snow, and anyone who has driven in a snowstorm knows how important your winters are. If your wipers are leaving streaks of water on your windshield, it’s time to replace or clean them. Although drivers rarely change them, wipers break down pretty quickly. In fact, they should be changed every 6-12 months. Interior: It’s time to say goodbye to the trash that’s taken up a vacancy in your car! After traveling all summer long, it’s only normal your interior needs a little pick me up. We suggest grabbing a garbage bag, your vacuum cleaner, and some multi-surface cleaner. First started by taking everything out, and we mean everything! Then, vacuum away crumbs, dust, and whatever else is in there. Don’t forget to clean off whatever item you’ll be putting back in your vehicle. Then it’s time to dust, spray down your dash, console, gear shift, radio system, and of course windows! Finally, put whatever you’re keeping back inside your cabin in a neat and orderly way, and toss whatever is remaining!
