If you live in the Valley, Lemon Creek, Downtown, Douglas, or Auke Bay, you know our weather asks a lot from a vehicle. This guide explains how the Subaru warranty works in plain terms so you can drive Egan Drive in heavy rain and head to Eaglecrest with confidence.
The Subaru warranty is factory backed. Coverage starts on the in service date of your vehicle. Most new models include a basic warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles and a powertrain warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles. There is also corrosion perforation coverage and roadside assistance for the early years of ownership. See the official Warranty and Maintenance Booklet for exact terms for your VIN.
Exact coverage can vary by model year and equipment. Your service advisor can pull the factory booklet for your VIN.
Think about a pothole on Mendenhall Loop, salt spray near the harbor, and cold starts before work. The warranty is there for defects, while regular maintenance and wear items remain your responsibility. Use good winter tires and follow the maintenance schedule to keep things running smoothly.
Subaru Certified Pre Owned vehicles include a factory backed powertrain warranty up to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the original in service date. They also include roadside assistance. Ask our team for the CPO checklist for the vehicle you are considering.
Subaru Added Security plans can extend coverage after the new car warranty ends. Plans come in tiers and can include travel protection and rental benefits. These plans are backed by Subaru of America. We can price a plan that matches your mileage and how you drive around Southeast Alaska.
Normal wear, maintenance, and damage from misuse or environmental conditions are not covered by the basic warranty. Examples include brake pads, wiper blades, and damage from road debris. Your advisor will explain the difference between a maintenance item and a warrantable defect.
Coverage begins on the in service date. That is the date the vehicle was first sold or leased by a Subaru retailer. If you purchase a Certified Pre Owned Subaru the original in service date still applies for the powertrain coverage.
Yes. Our factory trained technicians perform warranty repairs using Subaru Genuine Parts. If you are traveling, Subaru can direct you to the nearest authorized retailer.
Most new vehicle warranty coverage transfers to subsequent owners within the warranty term. Bring your paperwork and we will help review your specific case.
They can reduce surprise expenses when you put on miles between Juneau and trips up north. Plans may include travel protection that helps if you are far from home.
This page is a friendly overview for Juneau drivers. It is not a contract or a promise of coverage. Always refer to the official Subaru Warranty and Maintenance Booklet for your vehicle. Coverage, terms, and exclusions depend on model and year. See retailer for details.
