Get answers about warranty and non-OEM parts for your Subaru

The new car warranty on your Subaru protects you from manufacturer defects. If anything goes wrong on your Subaru, outside of a traffic accident, misuse or neglect, Subaru covers all parts and labor costs! However, to keep your warranty valid, there are a few things you'll need to know. For one, you'll want to know the difference between OEM parts and aftermarket parts. However, the use of non-OEM parts will not automatically void your new Subaru warranty. We'll explain below what this means and why it matters to you and your Subaru.

What Are the Terms of my New Car Warranty?

In order to maintain the integrity of your warranty, you're required to have all regular maintenance carried out on-time and performed properly. Consult your owner's manual to find the recommended maintenance schedule. That shows you how often you'll need to have the oil changed, the filters replaced, the tires rotated and other routine services performed.

The simplest, easiest way to have these services done and done right is to turn to your local, authorized Subaru dealership for all routine maintenance! The factory-trained service techs will use OEM parts for most repairs and replacements, and carry out other procedures according to manufacturer recommendation. However, if a Subaru service technician does use an aftermarket part, your warranty will still cover the part.

If those important procedures are missed, or performed incorrectly, or using the wrong parts or fluids, your warranty can be rendered void! However, the use of non-OEM parts does not automatically affect your warranty. OEM parts come straight from Subaru, and these factory-approved parts are the best choice for a proper fit on your vehicle. Aftermarket parts can vary in quality, and some poor-quality aftermarket alternatives won't perform correctly. Factory-trained Subaru service techs will use OEM parts where possible, and high-quality aftermarket parts at all other times
