Subaru Repair in

The most common Subaru repairs we handle are head gasket failure on EJ-series engines in 2000-2011 Outback, Forester, Legacy, and Impreza, timing belt replacement at 105,000 miles on EJ engines, oil consumption on FA20 and FB25 engines in 2012-2017 models, and CVT fluid service on newer models. Catching EJ head gasket seepage at the external stage saves significant money compared to waiting for internal failure.

If you own a 2000-2011 Subaru Outback, Forester, Legacy, or Impreza with the EJ25 engine, check for a brown film on the outside of the engine block near the head gasket area. External seepage is the early-stage symptom and is far less expensive to repair than internal failure. We inspect for this on every pre-2012 Subaru that comes through the shop.

Subaru EJ-series engines through roughly 2012-2014 use a timing belt due at 105,000 miles. These are interference engines - belt failure causes valve and piston damage. Subaru FB and FA series engines from 2012 onward use a timing chain with no scheduled replacement.
