What is the most common Subaru repair?

CVT transmission valve body replacement and wheel bearing failures are among the most common repairs.

Are Subaru CVT transmissions reliable?

Yes, when serviced properly. Fluid changes every 50,000–60,000 km are strongly recommended.

Do Subaru engines still have head gasket problems?

Modern FB and FA engines have largely resolved the head gasket issues common in early 2000s EJ engines.

How often should Subaru AWD systems be serviced?

Differential fluids should be serviced every 50,000 km for optimal longevity.

Is Dale’s Auto Service better than the dealership?

We provide personalized service, transparent inspections, and competitive pricing — without dealership overhead.

  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!

  I only trust dales for a proper assessment of anything that is wrong with my truck. I had gone to the dealer a week before and the amount of things they missed was shocking.  They really do take the time to give a proper report and provide the correct and full diagnosis the first time .  Highly recommend dales to everyone.

  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.
