What can change the price
What we ask about your Subaru
- That it is all-wheel drive
- Almost all of them are, and it matters most when a tyre is destroyed. On a permanent all-wheel-drive car the four tyres need to be close in rolling circumference, so replacing one badly worn tyre on its own can load the driveline. Subaru publishes a tolerance for this in its owner material; how tight it is varies by model and driveline. We will measure the others before recommending one tyre, two, or the set.
- The model, year and engine
- Forester, Outback, XV and WRX cover very different states of tune and very different service content. The build year matters as much as the badge, because the driveline and the transmission changed across generations.
- Which transmission it has
- Many are a continuously variable transmission, which has its own specified fluid and its own service position in the schedule. A manual does not. Tell us which you have, or we will check before quoting.
- The logbook
- Bring it if you have it. We follow the schedule in it, stamp it and keep our own record of what was done and what we found.
What moves the figure
- How much oil your engine takes
- The starting price includes up to 4 litres. Your engine always gets its full fill. Any extra oil is priced for your car.
- The oil your engine needs
- We use the specification your manufacturer sets, from Liqui Moly, Penrite, Motul, Castrol, Mobil and Valvoline. The grade and the brand change the figure.
- Your oil filter
- A less common or dearer filter changes the figure. If a part has to be ordered in, we tell you when we call.
- What your schedule calls for
- Other filters, spark plugs or fluids due at this service are extra items, priced before we start.

We call you back
With the price for your car and a time that suits. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
Can I replace just one tyre on my Subaru?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. On a permanent all-wheel-drive car the four tyres should be close in rolling circumference, so it depends how worn the other three are. We measure all four and tell you what we find. If one is fine we will say so.
Do you service the CVT?
We service it where your schedule specifies it, using the fluid the manufacturer specifies. If you are not sure whether your car has one, tell us the model and year and we will check before quoting.
Will servicing here void the warranty?
No. The ACCC advises that an independent repairer can service your car without affecting your consumer guarantees, and manufacturer warranties generally do not require dealer servicing where the work meets the manufacturer's standards. We follow the schedule, use appropriate parts and record it.
Details
With a Subaru, the all-wheel drive is the thing that most often surprises owners, usually at the worst moment, when one tyre has been ruined by a kerb or a nail and the cheapest-looking answer is to replace only that one.
We will measure the tread on all four before we tell you what to do. Sometimes one tyre is genuinely fine. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so and explain why, with the numbers, rather than simply selling you four.
Service content comes out of your own logbook and varies by model, year and engine. We follow it and write down everything we find, priced, whether or not you asked.
Where these claims come from
- Servicing at an independent workshop does not affect your consumer guarantees, and manufacturer warranties generally do not require dealer servicing where the work meets the manufacturer's standards.
- ACCC, Independent repairers factsheet (New Car Retailing Industry market study)
- Service schedules, oil specifications and intervals are set by the manufacturer for your specific model, year and engine.
- The logbook or service booklet supplied with your vehicle. We work from that rather than publishing an interval here.
- Manufacturers must make service and repair information available to independent repairers.
