What brake services does Dale's Auto Service offer for Subaru vehicles?

Dale’s Auto Service provides a full range of brake services for Subaru vehicles, including brake pad replacement, rotor resurfacing or replacement, brake fluid flushes, brake line inspection, and overall brake system diagnostics.

How often should I have my Subaru brakes serviced?

We recommend having your Subaru’s brakes inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you notice any signs of brake issues, such as squeaking, reduced braking power, or vibration, it’s best to bring your vehicle in for an inspection sooner.

What are some common signs that my Subaru needs brake service?

Some common signs include: Squealing or grinding noise when braking A soft or spongy brake pedal Vibration or pulsation when braking Increased stopping distance Brake warning light on the dashboard

How long do Subaru brake pads typically last?

Subaru brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits, road conditions, and the specific model. If you drive frequently in city traffic or on mountainous terrain, your brake pads may wear out more quickly.

Will you use original Subaru parts for brake service?

Yes! At Dale’s Auto Service, we use high-quality, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts specifically for Subaru vehicles to ensure proper fit, performance, and safety.

Do you offer a warranty on brake services?

Yes, we offer a warranty on brake services. The details of the warranty will depend on the specific service and parts used. Please ask our service team for more information during your visit.

How much does a Subaru brake service cost at Dale’s Auto Service?

The cost of brake service varies depending on the specific service required (brake pad replacement, rotor resurfacing, etc.) and your Subaru model. We offer competitive pricing and free estimates before beginning any work.

How long does it take to perform a brake service on my Subaru?

Brake services typically take between 1-2 hours, depending on the extent of the work needed. If you need a brake pad replacement, it may take less time, while more extensive repairs like rotor replacement or brake fluid flushing could take a little longer.

Can you perform a brake inspection even if I’m not sure there’s an issue with my Subaru?

Absolutely! If you're unsure about your brakes, it’s always better to have them inspected than to wait for a problem to worsen. We provide free brake inspections and can identify any issues before they become major problems.

Is brake fluid replacement necessary for my Subaru?

Yes, brake fluid should be replaced periodically to maintain optimal braking performance. Subaru recommends replacing brake fluid every 2 years or 24,000 miles. This helps prevent moisture buildup that can lead to brake failure.

Can I drive my Subaru if the brakes are making a noise?

While minor noises such as squeaks might be normal, any grinding or loud squealing should be addressed immediately. It could indicate worn-out pads or other serious brake issues. We recommend bringing your Subaru in for an inspection if you hear unusual sounds.

Do I need to make an appointment for Subaru brake service?

While we do accept walk-ins, it’s best to make an appointment to ensure that we can fit you into our schedule promptly. You can schedule your brake service appointment online or by calling us directly.

Can you fix Subaru brake problems caused by worn-out rotors?

Yes, we can either resurface or replace worn rotors to restore your Subaru’s braking performance. If the rotors are too damaged to be resurfaced, we will replace them with high-quality parts.

Will you check my entire brake system during the service?

Yes! Our brake service includes a full inspection of your Subaru’s entire brake system, including pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, fluid levels, and more. We want to ensure your vehicle’s brakes are functioning properly and safely.

  Just got a CORSA Sport cat-back exhaust installed on my Cadillac Escalade at Dales Auto Service. The exhaust sounds amazing aggressive, and clean without being too much. The install was done professionally and everything came out perfect. Really happy with the service and the final result. Highly recommend Dales Auto Service!

  My wife had obtained two estimates on her Subaru to get bering work done which seemed a bit high and work that was not required was included in both. I suggested she try Dale’s and she was at their quick response and price. The work was performed by Dale’s to her complete satisfaction. We will both be getting our work done there in the future. Happy customers, Elfie & Gary

  Had a issue with my car after I lowered it and added a few other parts. I needed to get it done asap because i had my dads celebration of life fast approaching and needed it fixed asap. I was able to get it in rite away and they were able to find the issue, install some parts I had and get the alignment done all before my trip. After the work was done the techs that fixed it spent a few mins telling me what they had to do to get it fixed and suggestions on other things I could do to help with a bit of rubbing i was having. Friendly staff and quality work.

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).

Subaru disc brake service dales auto service

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

Subaru drum brake fluid flush dales auto service

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 diagnostic service dales auto service

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
