Reviews of OEM Subaru parts For Business

Yeah they use undersized batteries, but just buy a good one and that's the end of it. my 2019 Legacy had is original battery after 4 years when I traded it in.

I can't recommend calling around to other mechanics/dealerships enough. Did the head gaskets on my subie, have done them on all subies, but on the most recent one earlier this year. The range in expected cost I was quoted ranged from 2700-8k. Went with the 2700 option, a local, family owned subaru mechanic, and have had zero issues since.

Yes. Subaru batteries are hot garbage. Go third party all day. I stand by any AGM I can pick up at Autozone, since they stand behind the batteries they sell.

My dealer replaced the battery, updated the firmware and did a parasitic drain test.

I'm still running on the original battery, which does surprisingly well until subzero temps set in, and then the poor thing just cries a lot and breaks my heart, so I jump it with my Noco and things are fine.

I love the car a 22 outback wilderness and have had for just over 2 years got in September 21 and just had my 5th windshield replaced. This is the first window that isn\u2019t oem so wish me luck.

Subaru's factory batteries suck. I've had to replace them in several Subaru's that were only like 2 years old. Doubly tough if the car is just sitting for a period of time between uses.

Don't get the OEM glass. That shit is brittle. I made the mistake of going OEM last year and barely made it 7 months before it needed to be replaced again. I'm almost certain the OEM glass would have cracked.

I had Subaru batteries last me only 2 years in upstate NY. I kept getting them for free under warranty. I probably got 4 this way. Finally, the dealer said your alternator is bad and that's why they are going bad (completely bogus). I started going to a local mechanics soon after that and they told me that super OEM batteries are complete garbage.

I despise Subaru windshields with a passion. I think they make them from eggshells. NEVER a cracked windshield - in DECADES of driving hundreds of thousands of miles - for any non-Subaru vehicle OR Subaru vehicles without the acoustic glass. But 5 replacements on two cars in past 5 years.
