Subaru Maintenance Notes

  • Subaru's boxer engine layout means head-gasket and some other work takes longer than on a typical inline engine because the cylinders lay flat on both sides.
  • Subaru's all-wheel drive needs matched tires, all four close in tread depth and size, or you can damage the drivetrain, so we watch tire wear closely.
  • On the oil-burning FB25 engines, checking the level between changes matters more than usual.
  • Older EJ engines use a timing belt that needs replacing on schedule, the newer FB engines use a chain.

Common Subaru Problems

WHAT WE SEE ROLL IN ON SUBARU

These are the issues we see most on Subaru vehicles here in the CSRA. Each one notes which models, engines, or years it actually affects, since not every Subaru has the same setup. Knowing the patterns means we diagnose faster and fix it right the first time.

  • Head gasket failure on EJ25 engines, about 1999 to 2011

    Affects: 2.5L EJ25 (~1999-2011)

    The classic Subaru problem. The 2.5L EJ25 engine, roughly 1999 to 2011 across the Forester, Outback, Impreza, and Legacy, is known for head gaskets that leak. You may see coolant loss, overheating, or oil and coolant mixing. We catch these and reseal them, and since it is a boxer engine the heads come off on both sides.

  • Excessive oil consumption on the FB25, 2011 to 2015

    Affects: FB25 2.5L (2011-2015)

    The FB25 2.5L engine from 2011 to 2015 is known for burning oil between changes, so the level drops and you can run low without warning. There was a class action over it. We check consumption on these and keep the level safe.

Why Choose C&C

THE RIGHT SHOP FOR YOUR SUBARU

You are not at a dealer, but your Subaru gets dealer-level care here. The right scan tools, OEM or OE-quality parts, and ASE-certified techs, usually for less than the dealer charges.

  • We Know Your Subaru

    Drivers around Augusta and Aiken bring us their Subaru every week, so we know the trouble spots these Asian vehicles are known for and fix them right the first time.

  • The Right Parts & Diagnostics

    We use OEM or OE-quality head gaskets and cooling parts on Subarus, because the cheap gaskets are how you end up doing the job twice. We have the scan tools to read Subaru-specific codes so a warning light gets sorted out correctly.

  • Straight, Honest Pricing

    Head gasket work on a boxer engine is labor-intensive, so it is not a cheap job, but doing it right with quality gaskets is what makes it last. We will tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense for your Subaru's mileage and condition, and we come in under dealer rates.

  • Backed In Writing

    ASE-certified work, with most repairs backed by our 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty. The shop that did the work handles any warranty issue, and when you're away from home, coverage continues through the Certified Auto Repair Nationwide Warranty.
