Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Subaru head gasket repair cost in Rohnert Park?
Subaru head gasket replacement in Rohnert Park typically costs $1,800-$3,500 depending on the model. This includes multi-layer steel gaskets, machine work, and coolant conditioner. The 2.5L naturally aspirated engines in 1999-2010 Outback, Forester, Legacy, and Impreza models are most commonly affected.
What causes Subaru head gasket failure?
Subaru head gaskets fail primarily due to the boxer engine design with horizontally opposed cylinders. The original composite gaskets couldn't handle thermal expansion stress. External coolant leaks are usually the first sign. We exclusively use MLS (multi-layer steel) gaskets that eliminate this design flaw.
How often should I service my Subaru CVT transmission?
Subaru recommends CVT fluid replacement every 60,000-100,000 miles depending on driving conditions. In Sonoma County's hilly terrain, we recommend every 60,000 miles. We use genuine Subaru High Torque CVT Fluid designed specifically for Lineartronic transmissions.
Do you work on all Subaru models?
Yes, we service all Subaru models including Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Legacy, Impreza, WRX, STI, Ascent, and BRZ. Our ASE and ATRA certified technicians have specialized training on Subaru's boxer engines, CVT transmissions, and Symmetrical AWD systems.
Is my Subaru timing belt due for replacement?
Subaru timing belts should be replaced every 105,000 miles or 105 months (approximately 8.5 years), whichever comes first. All Subaru 4-cylinder engines are interference engines - if the belt breaks, pistons will hit valves causing severe engine damage. We replace the water pump, tensioner, and idler pulleys at the same time.
Why is my Subaru consuming oil?
2011-2014 Subaru models with FB25 engines are known for excessive oil consumption due to piston ring issues. Subaru extended warranty coverage for some vehicles. We can diagnose consumption rates and discuss repair options including piston ring replacement or short block service.
Can you service Subaru EyeSight vehicles?
Yes, we service Subaru vehicles equipped with EyeSight driver assist technology. While EyeSight calibration requires dealer equipment after windshield replacement, we handle all mechanical and maintenance services. Our diagnostic equipment reads all Subaru computer systems.
How much does Subaru CVT repair cost?
Subaru CVT repair costs vary: routine fluid service is $250-$400, valve body repair is $800-$1,500, and complete CVT replacement is $3,500-$6,000. Many CVT issues can be resolved without full replacement. We offer free diagnosis to determine the most cost-effective solution.
