Customer Story

A Lake City Subaru Outback owner brought in their vehicle for overheating and coolant loss.
Our inspection revealed a leaking head gasket. We replaced the gasket set, machined the heads, and installed new timing components. The car now runs cool and quiet — and the owner saved over $1,000 compared to the dealership.

FAQs

Q1. What’s the most common Subaru repair?
Head gasket leaks and timing belt replacements are the top two. Addressing them early prevents major engine damage.

Q2. Do all Subarus have oil leaks?
Not all, but they’re common as vehicles age. Many models hide small leaks under an underbody shield before they’re visible.

Q3. How long do Subarus last?
With regular maintenance, most easily surpass 200,000 miles — especially with proper timing belt service.
