“Dealer” refers to service centers that specialize in one or two makes and sell those vehicles. As a franchise dealer:
  • They use top-quality manufacturer-recommended or “official” parts
  • Parts usually come with a manufacturer's warranty - ask the dealer about this as details may vary
  • They have the highest level of training and knowledge, and their labor rates may reflect this

$99 - $117


Labor

$149 - $175

“Independent” refers to a service center that services multiple makes instead of specializing. In addition:
  • They don't sell vehicles
  • Because they can use non-official or aftermarket parts, their pricing might seem lower
  • Independents tend to be generalists with a broad level of knowledge and training on many vehicles

About Engine Belt Replacement

BulletIcon
Several types of engine belts need to be replaced from time to time. Vehicles from 1990 and newer typically have a serpentine belt. The belt snakes around the pulleys located at the front of the engine (or the side of a transverse-mounted engine) and drives multiple accessories including the alternator, power steering pump and air conditioning compressor. If it is squeaking or worn, it could break, which would make the engine inoperable. Check it at 60,000 miles but change it before 100,000 miles. Older vehicles usually have separate belts for the water pump, alternator, radiator fan and air conditioning system, but when they break, you still may be able to get home. Finally, engine timing belts help to keep the camshaft and crankshaft in sync so that pistons and valves operate in sync. They typically last from 60,000 to 90,000 miles. A broken timing belt could result in engine damage and an expensive rebuild.

2017 Subaru Outback Engine Belt Replacement Q&A

Subaru Dealership Repair Options

After leasing or buying your new Subaru, you should consider having repairs handled by your local Subaru dealer. Consider them your first point of contact for proper care, maintenance and repairs because they will have the latest service bulletins and recall notices issued by the factory. In addition, you can be sure they will be using genuine Subaru replacement parts in making a repair.

In the case of a leased vehicle, many lease contracts, including those from Subaru Motors Finance, will require the use of original equipment parts when it comes to making the vehicle whole again.

Training

Subaru-certified repair mechanics have received a variety of training ranging from post-secondary school training and factory certified instruction on the latest tools and techniques. They will continue to take periodic tests to keep certification current.

Loan car policy

Certain Subaru dealers may offer loaner vehicles for their service customers although this is not a required practice. If your Subaru car or SUV is in for collision repair, the extended use of a loaner or rental vehicle may be covered by an insurance policy rider. Read the fine print of your policy for more detail.

Collision repairs

The Subaru Certified Collision Center program ensures that both dealership-owned repair facilities and independent Subaru-certified body shops have the proper training, tools, equipment and facilities needed to repair Subaru vehicles that were involved in collisions. All authorized collision facilities feature protocols developed by Wadsworth International, who designed Subaru’s certification standards.

By selecting a Subaru Certified Collision Center Network member, owners can be assured their vehicles will be repaired as closely as possible to the standards their Subaru vehicles achieved when they were new.
