Subaru Service FAQ
1) How often should I service my Subaru in Richmond’s climate?
Follow your owner’s manual, but many drivers benefit from 6 months/8,000–10,000 km intervals depending on driving style and conditions. We tailor intervals based on your usage and oil analysis when relevant.
2) Do you use OEM Subaru parts?
Yes. We recommend OEM or premium-grade parts. You’ll get options, plus our advice on cost, longevity, and warranty.
3) Can you diagnose Subaru CVT concerns (shudder, flare, overheat)?
Absolutely. We perform CVT health checks, fluid condition assessment, scan-data monitoring, road-test logging, and cooling system checks to prevent repeat failures.
4) Do you service performance or off-road-equipped Subarus?
Yes—suspension upgrades, alignments, brake packages, and driveline service. We’ll set alignment to factory or performance specs as requested.
5) What warranty do you offer on repairs?
Our work is warranty-backed. Coverage varies by part and service type; we’ll document your specific warranty on every estimate and invoice.
