YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

All service schedules are printed in your service and warranty book. Please ensure that you service your Subaru in line with the appropriate schedule, as failure to do so can invalidate your warranty. 

In addition to regular servicing, some parts of your vehicle may require extra attention depending on operation and usage. Please refer to the ‘severe driving conditions’ section in your service and warranty booklet for more information on this.

Your local Subaru dealer has invested a great deal to provide the best possible care for your Subaru. Authorised Subaru dealers and authorised service outlets have the only workshops with dedicated tools and diagnostic equipment specifically designed to support Subaru vehicles.

Your local dealer also has access to manufacturer training and direct contact with Subaru UK‘s technical support personnel. All genuine parts are supplied by Subaru UK and fitted by a trained Subaru technician. Excluding wear and tear and any service items, these components automatically come with a 3-year, 60,000 mile parts and labour warranty.

Genuine Subaru service therefore ensures complete peace-of-mind motoring – not only conforming to Subaru’s rigorous safety, capability, reliability and maintenance standards, but also fully satisfying your vehicle’s manufacturer warranty requirements.

No. Servicing your vehicle at a non-Subaru approved service outlet will not adversely affect the warranty on your Subaru. However, the maintenance must be completed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and any service parts used must be of the same certified quality as the original components and fluids. The specifications of these are detailed in your owner and driver manual, so please refer to this before any work is carried out on your vehicle.

Please be aware that any failure of genuine components found to be caused by non-genuine parts fitted to your vehicle will not be covered under your Subaru warranty. Please also note that you are responsible for keeping maintenance records, as it may be necessary to confirm that the required maintenance has been performed on your vehicle.

The ‘service and maintenance’ section in your owner and driver manual lists the required lubricants and types suitable for Subaru vehicles. If you don’t have a copy of this manual, you can purchase one from your nearest Subaru dealer – or browse our range of manuals to see if yours is available online.

Yes. All four tyres must be of the same size, circumference, speed symbol, load index, construction, manufacturer, brand (tread pattern) and degree of wear. Subaru recommends that the tyres are inspected and/or rotated at each scheduled service. Please check your owner’s manual for further information.

For 36 months from the date of first registration, all new Subaru vehicles have full UK breakdown cover – including local recovery, roadside and home assistance. If you require assistance, please call 0800 777 127.

If your concern relates to the servicing or maintenance of a vehicle, you should discuss the matter with the Service Manager of the dealership. If it relates to a vehicle sale, please speak to the dealership’s Sales Manager. If you can’t resolve matters after speaking to either the Service or Sales Manager, we advise directing your concerns to the Dealer Principal. If the Dealer Principal proves unable to help, please contact Subaru UK by registering a case.

Putting your concern in writing lets you tell us exactly what the issue is and what resolution you’re hoping to achieve. It also allows us the time to investigate the situation properly. We aim to reply to all cases within 24 hours, with the exception of weekends or bank holidays when we’re closed.

To register as a new keeper, please visit your nearest Subaru dealer with a copy of your V5 Registration document as proof of address. The dealer will be able to change the owner details on the Subaru UK system. If the vehicle is less than 36 months old, this will automatically generate a new Subaru Assistance card for you. If you require a private registration change, please forward a copy of your V5 registration document showing the new registration to:

If your Subaru has served you well for many years and now come to the end of its useful life, you can scrap the vehicle in accordance with The ELV Directive. The ELV Directive seeks to prevent or limit waste and improve the re-use, recycling and recovery of older vehicles and their components. If you wish to dispose of your old Subaru, please contact our contracted representatives Autogreen on 0800 5422002, who will advise you about the location of your closest Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF). Alternatively, speak to your local Subaru dealer.

We pride ourselves on delivering first-class customer care and will aim to do whatever’s reasonably possible to resolve any issue you may have with your Subaru vehicle. In the first instance, please always speak to your local Subaru dealer if you have any concerns. If you feel you don’t get a satisfactory resolution through your local dealer, please register a case on our system.

In extreme (and unlikely) situations, if you’re unhappy with the way in which Subaru UK has resolved your issue, you can opt to consult The Motor Ombudsman, as we abide by the Motor Industry New Car Code of Practice.
