Subaru Repair in Englewood, CO: What You Need to Know

Subaru has built one of the most loyal owner communities in the automotive world. The combination of standard all-wheel drive, the distinctive Boxer engine, and genuine outdoor-adventure credibility resonates deeply with Colorado drivers. From the practical Outback to the performance-focused WRX STI, Subaru builds vehicles that fit the Front Range lifestyle perfectly. At AutoLab Englewood, Subaru is one of the vehicles we service most frequently and most enthusiastically.

Subaru's Boxer engine is unique and rewarding but has specific requirements. Head gasket issues on the EJ-series engines used through roughly 2014 in most models are the most significant known concern. The 2.5-liter EJ253 naturally-aspirated Boxer used in the Outback, Forester, and Legacy from 2005-2014 has a well-documented history of external head gasket seepage that should be monitored carefully. The newer FA and FB series engines are significantly improved.

Subaru EJ Engine Head Gasket Service

The head gasket issue on EJ-series Boxer engines is the single most important thing to understand about maintaining older Subaru models. The 2.5-liter EJ253 can develop external head gasket seepage that, if left unaddressed, progresses to coolant loss and overheating. We inspect head gaskets on every EJ-equipped Subaru we service and recommend repair at the right time.

Subaru WRX and STI Performance Service

The WRX and STI are genuine performance cars with service needs that go beyond a standard Subaru. The EJ257 turbocharged flat-four in the STI needs 5,000-mile oil intervals and quality oil to protect the turbocharger. The DCCD differentials in the STI have specific fluid requirements. We service all WRX and STI models.
