STi Maintenance Schedule

You know the phrase “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? Well, that saying, of course, has no place here. As you know, as time passes, your STi needs to be serviced. Keeping an eye on it periodically is a given. But, knowing when to check or replace something (or some things rather) is another thing. Your car owner’s handbook will include all of that info. And, if the car manual is nowhere to be found, then don’t rev! We got you. You may check ones off which you’re able, experienced, and skillful in doing. Other than that, take it to the doctor (auto shop).
