Boulder’s Subaru Experts

Boulder’s Subaru Experts


Legacy Automotive owner Josh Gough knew he wanted to create a shop that would service the top-selling car brand in his area: Subaru.


Subaru’s have been Colorado’s hottest car for several years running. Specifically, the Subaru Outback beats out other Subaru models for popularity in sales.


Subaru owners have an unspoken language with each other to communicate the reason why they love this vehicle brand so much.


Not only are Subarus incredibly reliable winter weather cars with their symmetrical AWD features and low center of gravity, they also rank high on safety as well. (For a list of the safest cars to buy and to see where Subaru ranks, click here)

Legacy Automotive Boulder is proud to have a great reputation in our community. We believe this is shown by our customers who continue to bring their vehicles to our shop for repairs and maintenance.


Legacy Automotive employs qualified and knowledgable individuals who pride themselves in their automotive expertise. While we have accomplished many great things as a shop family, Legacy Automotive is proud to now be the best dealer alternative for Subaru maintenance and repair in the Boulder, Golden, Denver, and Longmont areas. 


Why should you choose to go to a local dealer alternative?


Here are a few great reasons to choose local over big brand:

  • At Legacy Automotive, we offer our 36/36 warranty on any vehicles we service.
  • While we can’t guarantee lower pricing, local shops are usually cheaper and more cost-effective on average than the dealer.
  • Our reputation is on the line! We want to be your chosen local dealer and we work hard to ensure repairs are done properly and build a great relationship with our customers.
  • Legacy Automotive uses the same type of diagnostic equipment has access to the same repair information as the dealer.
  • Most dealerships only offer OE’s…Original Equipment. Simply put, they will only put on parts from the manufacturer thus costing the customer more money. At Legacy Automotive, we offer our customers different options on their parts so you can make the choice.

Local Shops like Legacy Automotive also offer customizations that dealerships do not. And we know in Colorado, there are definitely some awesome customized Subarus driving around!

If you’re looking to do a specific customization to your Subaru, Legacy Automotive and our Subaru experts are ready for the job. Please speak to one of our technicians on custom specifications such as parts and kits.


If you have questions on what it means for Legacy Automotive to be a Subaru dealer alternative, just ask! We’re happy to answer your questions, explain our process, and give you peace of mind while we work on your vehicle.


Legacy Automotive makes it a goal to be transparent with customers and allow you into our process and never hide behind our bay doors. We strive to be open and honest with our customers.



We love what we do at Legacy Automotive Boulder!

The Dangers of Potholes: How to Protect Your Car This Spring
By Joshua Gough February 7, 2025
How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Colorado Winters As winter approaches in Colorado, it's crucial to ensure your vehicle is ready to handle the harsh conditions. Snow, ice, and frigid temperatures can take a toll on your car, but with proper preparation, you can stay safe and keep your vehicle running smoothly. Here’s how to winterize your vehicle for Colorado’s unpredictable winters. 1. Check Your Battery Cold temperatures can significantly reduce your battery’s power, making it harder to start your engine. Have your battery tested to ensure it’s in good condition, and replace it if necessary. Clean any corrosion from the terminals and ensure all connections are tight. 2. Inspect Your Tires Traction is key when driving on icy and snowy roads. Check your tire tread depth—if it’s below 4/32 of an inch, consider replacing your tires. Investing in winter tires designed for icy conditions can provide better grip and improve your safety. Also, make sure your tire pressure is at the recommended level, as it can drop in cold weather. 3. Check Your Fluids Antifreeze : Ensure your coolant is at the right mixture to prevent freezing. Oil : Consider using a winter-grade oil that flows better in lower temperatures. Washer Fluid : Use a winter-specific washer fluid that won’t freeze in cold temperatures. 4. Inspect Your Brakes Your braking system is critical in winter driving conditions. Have your brakes inspected to ensure they’re in good working order, and replace worn brake pads if needed. 5. Test Your Heater and Defroster A functioning heater keeps you comfortable, and a working defroster is essential for maintaining visibility. Test both before the first snowfall and have any issues repaired promptly. 6. Keep an Emergency Kit in Your Car Prepare for unexpected situations by keeping a winter emergency kit in your vehicle. Include: A blanket or extra warm clothing Ice scraper and snow brush Flashlight and extra batteries Jumper cables Sand or kitty litter for traction First-aid kit Non-perishable snacks and bottled water Phone charger 7. Check Your Lights and Wipers Shorter days and snowy conditions mean you’ll rely more on your headlights. Ensure all exterior lights are working and replace any burned-out bulbs. Install winter-rated windshield wipers and top off your washer fluid to maintain visibility. 8. Keep Your Gas Tank at Least Half Full A full tank can prevent your fuel lines from freezing and ensure you have enough gas in case of an emergency. Plus, extra weight can help improve traction. 9. Know Your Vehicle’s Winter Features Many modern vehicles come equipped with traction control, ABS, and all-wheel drive. Understand how these systems work to maximize their effectiveness in slippery conditions. 10. Schedule a Winter Maintenance Check at Legacy Automotive The best way to ensure your vehicle is winter-ready is to have it inspected by a professional. At Legacy Automotive, we offer comprehensive winter maintenance services, including battery testing, tire checks, brake inspections, and fluid top-offs. Schedule an appointment today and drive with confidence this winter. Stay safe on the roads and enjoy a worry-free winter with a properly maintained vehicle!
