Frequently Asked Subaru Suspension Questions

How often do Subaru brakes need to be replaced?
Subaru brake pads typically last 30,000–60,000 miles depending on driving conditions. Regular Subaru brake inspections help catch issues early.

How do I know if my Subaru needs brake repairs?
Warning signs include squeaking, grinding, vibration, a soft brake pedal, longer stopping distances, or the ABS light on your Subaru dashboard.

Can I just replace Subaru brake pads without new rotors?
No – all of our brake services include brake pad and disc replacement. Brake discs become, glazed, overheated, warped with use and need replacement to ensure peak braking performance.

Why is my Subaru brake pedal soft or going to the floor?
This could indicate air in the brake lines, a brake fluid leak, or a failing master cylinder. It’s unsafe to drive — bring your Subaru in for brake service immediately.

What warranty do you offer on engine repairs?
We back all repairs with a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty for your peace of mind.
