Subaru Service & Repair | Independent Six Star Subaru Service

The Importance of Routine Subaru Service and What's Involved

Take care of your Subaru and it will take care of you. It's pretty simple, but when it comes to what's required that's where things can get complicated and depending on who you call you may get wildly varying prices and vague answers as to what is included. More importantly, a common trick that many dealers use involves giving a quote that seems very affordable but without an explanation of what is done. Unfortunately, after dropping your Subaru off for said service you will often get a call presenting a menu of other items that aren't included likely adding up to substantially more than the original quote. We keep it simple. We follow Subaru's recommendations using genuine parts and fluids to keep your warranty intact and your Subaru on the road for years to come. Below you'll find descriptions of the tasks involved for the most common Subaru maintenance intervals.Prices vary by year, model and engine, so please contact us so that we may provide with you an accurate quote.
