With standard and available features like a BOXER® engine, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and EyeSight®, Subaru vehicles stand out from the crowd. When your Subaru needs service, trust it to the people who know it best. There are plenty of auto shops in town, but an authorized Subaru service center is the place to go when you want your Subaru to get only the best. Below, we list four reasons getting service at the dealership is a good idea.

4. Subaru Dealerships Have Subaru-Certified Technicians
As we mentioned earlier, a lot of the engineering in your Subaru is distinctive. While automotive technicians in other local shops may have had experience with Subaru models, they typically lack the intensive training that our certified technicians have been through. When you bring your Subaru to the dealership for service, it will be worked on by technicians who have been certified by Subaru, and who undergo continual training to make sure that they're up to date on the latest advances.

3. Subaru Dealerships Have Up-To-Date Equipment
If you know someone who likes working on their own car, you'll know that even they might head to the dealership for service from time to time. This is because the specialized equipment used for diagnostics and repairs is expensive. If you take your Subaru to an independent shop, they'll likely have all the tools that are necessary for the job; however, they may be older or not designed specifically for use with Subaru models. At the dealership, we use the latest and best Subaru-approved equipment when we work on your vehicle.
2. Subaru Dealerships Are Better for Your Warranty
Subaru stands behind the quality of its vehicles. As such, your Subaru comes with a number of warranties. However, these warranties can be voided if they're not followed properly. When you bring your Subaru to the dealership, you can rest easy knowing that your warranty will remain intact. This may not be the case if you decide to visit an independent or franchise mechanic shop.

1. Subaru Dealerships Use OEM & Factory-Approved Parts
Subaru vehicles are known for their remarkable quality and longevity. In fact, 97% of Subaru vehicles sold within the past decade are still on the road today. To keep the quality of your Subaru high, it's best to use only parts approved by Subaru for any repairs or maintenance. These parts are designed to fit your vehicle perfectly, and they're held to the high standards set by Subaru. A local shop may not have OEM parts, using aftermarket parts instead. While these can still be high in quality, there are also many aftermarket parts that are lower-quality.
