Subaru Brake Service FAQ
How often should Subaru brakes be serviced?
Inspection every 10,000–12,000 km (or each oil change) is smart. Pads/rotors typically last 30,000–70,000 km depending on driving, terrain, and pad compound.
Do I need the dealership for Subaru brakes?
No. Factory-level procedures and parts are available here, often with better turnaround and value—without affecting your warranty.
What does a brake job include?
Proper pad/rotor replacement, hardware & slide lubrication, hub/rotor runout control, torque-to-spec, fluid check/bleed, and a road test. Calipers/hoses are serviced or replaced as needed.
What’s the brake fluid interval on a Subaru?
Typically every 2–3 years (or per Subaru schedule) to prevent moisture-induced boiling and corrosion. We can test fluid to confirm.
What warranty do you offer?
A strong parts & labour warranty on all brake repairs. Ask us for today’s coverage details based on your parts selection (OEM vs premium aftermarket).
What we do
Complete Brake Service & More…
Disk Brake Service on a Subaru
A disc brake is a type of brake that uses calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc in order to create friction that slows the rotation of the wheel(s)….more
The main components of a disc brake are:
- the brake pads
- the caliper, which contains a piston,
- the rotor, which is mounted to the hub
Drum Brake Service
The drum brake may look complicated, and it can be pretty intimidating when you open one up. Let’s break it down and explain what each piece does.
Like the disc brake, the drum brake has two brake shoes and a piston. But the drum brake also has an adjuster mechanism, an emergency brake mechanism and lots of springs…more
Brake Fluid Flush on a Subaru
Brake fluid is possibly the single most neglected component of the automobile.
Most high performance drivers check their tire pressures and change their engine oil at frequent intervals, but virtually no one ever changes the brake fluid in their street car.
Brake fluid will not be able to handle the heat when it is contaminated…more
ABS/STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM
Most vehicles come standard with ABS and some level of traction control, while others include optional stability and roll-over mitigation systems.
Failing to properly repair these systems can put the driver at risk, especially in vehicles with a high center of gravity.
If the ABS light is on, request diagnostic time to identify and resolve the issue…more
