Frequently asked questions
Do you service Subaru vehicles still under warranty?
Independent workshops can carry out scheduled servicing when the correct maintenance requirements, parts and fluids are used. Warranty coverage remains subject to the vehicle manufacturer terms and Australian consumer law.
Do you diagnose the vehicle before replacing parts?
Yes. Where the job is a fault or symptom rather than straightforward maintenance, the aim is to confirm the cause before recommending major parts.
