A late-model Subaru Impreza recently visited All Round Automotive Repairs for its first scheduled service at just 9,000km. While many drivers assume a relatively new car won’t need much attention, this service was a great example of why regular maintenance is still essential, even at low kilometres.

During the inspection, our technicians carried out a full routine service and checked all major components. One of the most surprising findings was the cabin air filter, which was already extremely dirty despite the vehicle’s low kilometres.

Cabin filters work to trap dust, pollen, and other contaminants before they enter the vehicle’s interior, and in Australian driving conditions they can become clogged faster than many drivers expect. A blocked cabin filter can reduce air conditioning efficiency, affect airflow inside the car, and impact air quality for passengers.

As part of the service, all filters were replaced with high-quality Ryco filters, ensuring optimal engine protection and clean air inside the cabin. Using quality filtration products helps maintain engine performance and prolongs the life of key components.

This service is also a great reminder that having your vehicle serviced by All Round Automotive Repairs will not void your new car warranty. Thanks to Australian consumer law, independent workshops like ours can carry out logbook servicing to manufacturer specifications, meaning you receive professional servicing without having to return to the dealership.

Regular servicing not only keeps your vehicle running smoothly but also helps identify small issues before they become costly problems. Even at 9,000km, this Subaru Impreza proved that maintenance plays an important role in keeping your vehicle comfortable, efficient, and reliable.
