And part of that promise is the financial peace of mind that comes with a comprehensive, fair and beneficial Subaru car warranty. Our warranties are second-to-none. All new Subaru cars are warranted against any defect in material or workmanship for a period of five years or up to 150 000km.
So let’s talk here about warranties by Subaru, and how to get the most out of yours.
What is Covered Under Warranty?
All new Subarus sold in South Africa are warranted for any defect in material or workmanship for a period of five years or 150 000km. This means that if at any time during the 5 years of owning a Subaru, you notice a manufacturer defect, your car will be covered in the warranty. Should something transpire, you will need to refer to your owner’s material or contact your nearest Subaru dealership to find out all you need to know about your warranty coverage.
What’s Not Covered Under Warranty?
The Subaru warranty has a few exceptions. Any parts that are fitted without Subaru’s approval can make the warranty void. Only genuine Subaru parts that are fitted by an authorised dealer and approved by Subaru, are warranted. With that being said, all Subaru genuine parts are warranted for a period of 12 months.
The Benefits of Having the Subaru Warranty
Owning a Subaru comes with its own set of benefits, such as unmatched safety features like EyeSight Assist, technologically advanced features such as the infotainment system, and so much more. When you have the Subaru warranty, you feel almost powerful in your car, knowing you’re protected against defects and workmanship for the first 5 years. Here are some benefits of having the Subaru warranty:
Peace of mind. Knowing that your brand-new Subaru comes with a 5-year warranty eases your mind a bit. Subaru cars are a big investment, and knowing you’re covered makes a big difference.
Repairs. The Subaru warranty allows you to put a claim in for repairs should a defect surface. Genuine and approved Subaru parts will replace what is defective.
You’re saving money. If you had purchased another vehicle without a general warranty, you will be paying out of your pocket for vehicle manufacturer defects. With Subaru, that’s all covered by us for up to 5 years or 150 000km.
How Long Does the Subaru Warranty Last?
The Subaru warranty guarantees you 5 years or up to 150 000km of cover. If at any point in the 5 years of owning a Subaru, you pick up a part defect, Subaru will replace it for you. All you need to do is seek your nearest Subaru dealership, and one of our skilled team members will guide you through it.
Does Every Subaru Come with a Warranty?
Every brand-new Subaru sold in South Africa comes with a warranty. If, for example, you’re looking to purchase a second-hand model, if it’s within 150 000km, it is still warranted. But that’ll depend on the previous owner, and of course, if genuine Subaru parts were fitted. The best way to tell in this case would be to have a Subaru consultant advise.
