How booking works: booking online to find out what’s wrong is our $374 incl. GST pre-paid diagnostic — a dedicated two-hour diagnostic booking plus a written report, not a free quote, and it applies even if we find the likely fault sooner. Any repair is quoted separately in writing before we start. Booking a service or already know the work you want? Call 03 8782 0711 or pick that service in the booking form instead.

About the Impreza
The Subaru Impreza (AWD hatch & sedan) is a sensible, well-built AWD hatch that’s cheap to keep healthy — provided the servicing is done properly and on schedule.
We service Subaru to the correct schedule and use the right parts and oils for your exact Impreza — usually for less than the dealer.
Common Impreza service points
The things we keep an eye on with the Impreza: regular oil and filter services, the CVT and AWD fluid services, the boxer engine and any oil leaks, brakes and suspension. On the Impreza, staying ahead of the schedule is the difference between cheap upkeep and an expensive surprise.
Everything is quoted in writing up front, so you always know what your Impreza is getting and why.
Servicing your Impreza & keeping the warranty
Subaru’s factory warranty does not require dealer-only servicing — under Australian Consumer Law you can use an independent for logbook servicing (with correct parts) and keep it valid. We stamp your book.
