My.Subaru - Check it out!

This will be the first in a few posts about Subaru Service for October Car Care month.

Okay, so I've owned my Legacy for over a year and a half. And I've kept up to date on service. But never before did I explore the wonders that are "My.Subaru." I guess being a couple hundred feet from our service department has made me lazy.

Should you not spend 8-10 hours per day a couple hundred feet from the best Subaru service department in the world, you should definitely check out My.Subaru if you like being organized and saving money.

I was on the site today because I'm updating our service center's info on our website and I was looking for value tidbits our customers could use. I found that there are lots of very useful applications and fun stuff on there.

You can download a copy of your manual, check out your service schedule, take a look at warranty info, keep track of what service you've had done on your car, and see if there are any recalls or service bulletins on your vehicle. Also, I thought it was great that you can type in your immobilizer code--seems like a safe place to keep something that you're going to want to be able to find quickly should you need it.

There were also about $70 of coupons for me on there.

As far as the fun factor, there were stories about Subaru owners, a calendar of local events for Subaru owners, and articles on Subaru racing.

It's also a great place to shop for your NEXT Subaru--it has special offers, a link to the Subaru Guaranteed Trade Program, and brochures for all Subaru models.

So, while I'm in the middle of giving our Service Department a facelift on the website (should be complete come October 1, 2010--check it out at http://www.premiersubaru.com/service/index.htm) get registered on and start using My.Subaru (https://www.subaru.com/my-subaru/my-account/index.html)!

Hope everyone's off to a great start for a fabulous Fall!
