Frequently Asked Questions
Do Subarus really have head gasket problems?
Older Subaru models (especially 2000–2010 with the EJ engine) are known for head gasket issues. We inspect for early signs of head gasket failure and can advise on the best course of action before it becomes a major repair.
How often does a Subaru need an oil change?
We recommend every 5,000 miles with full synthetic oil for most Subaru models — more frequently for WRX and STI performance models (every 3,000–4,000 miles).
Can you service the Subaru CVT transmission?
Yes — we service Subaru Lineartronic CVT transmissions. Subaru recommends fluid service every 25,000 miles for severe use or 50,000 miles under normal conditions.
