What Your Car Says About You: A Mechanic’s Perspective

Your car isn’t just a way to get from point A to point B—it’s a reflection of your personality, lifestyle, and even your driving habits. At Advance Auto Service, we’ve seen it all, and over the years, we’ve noticed some interesting trends. Here’s what your car might be saying about you!

If you own a Subaru, chances are you love getting outdoors. Whether it’s hitting BC slopes in the winter or road-tripping to the nearest hiking trail, Subaru owners tend to be adventurous, practical, and loyal to their brand. You probably know more about AWD systems than the average driver and wouldn’t trade your car for anything else. Did you know that at Advance Auto Service we are certified to perform Subaru maintenance for you? Schedule a checkup today!

Driving a truck? You’re someone who values reliability and function over flash. Whether it’s for work, hauling gear, or just because you like the reliability of a sturdy vehicle when going anywhere in our beautiful province of BC, truck owners are practical and ready for anything. You might also have an “I can fix it myself” attitude—but let’s be real, sometimes even the toughest trucks need a mechanic! That’s where Advance Auto Repair comes in.

If you drive a sports car, you love the thrill of the road and appreciate fine engineering. You probably have a strong attachment to your car, maybe even naming it. You care about performance, handling, and making a statement wherever you go. Do your tires and brakes might need more frequent checkups than most? Possibly.

Driving a fuel-efficient sedan or compact car? You’re a smart, budget-conscious driver who values reliability over luxury. You want a car that gets the job done with minimal fuss. Routine maintenance is your best friend because you know keeping your car in shape means fewer headaches down the road.
