ADVERTISEMENTS

What is the warranty on a new Subaru?

Subaru Bumper-to-Bumper Factory Warranty is 3 years or 36,000 miles from the original purchase date of the first owner.

The bumper-to-bumper warranty transfers between owners until it expires and covers the cost of repairs on all electrical and mechanical breakdowns excluding normal wear.

After it ends, the engine warranty continues for another 2 years or up to 60,000 miles on the odometer.

Subaru has two extended warranty options for long-term owners: Gold Plus and Classic.

What do the Subaru Extended Warranty Options cover?

Option 1 - Gold Plus Added Security

Subaru Gold Plus pays for repairs on the engine, transmission, electrical, steering, heating, air conditioning, struts, power windows, power door locks, CV joints, and more.

It covers breakdowns on almost all mechanical and electrical systems.

It even covers failures due to normal wear, and consequential damage when one part causes a problem with another.

Some restrictions apply.

See list of exclusions.

Option 2 - Classic Added Security

The Subaru Classic plan is more of a roll of the dice than an Added Security.

It has an extensive list of covered parts but many important repairs are omitted, like high tech components and navigation systems.

The Gold Plus plan is a wiser choice worth the difference in cost.

How much is the repair copay?

Subaru Added Security has three options of deductible copay: $0, $50, or $100.

The $0 copay appears to be the best choice until the difference in upfront cost is considered.

It costs about $600 less to buy the $100 copay plan.

Therefore, F&I Tools analysts consider the $100 deductible Subaru Gold Plus warranty the best bang for the buck!

How much does the Subaru Gold Plus extended warranty cost?

Retail Market Value

6 Years 70,000 Miles

$100 Deductible: $3140

Prices may vary depending on location, usage, vehicle model, and package features.

Where can I buy the Subaru Added Security extended warranty?

Insider tip:

Buy the extended warranty from the same dealer you plan to return to for repairs.

The selling dealer will have a monetary incentive to provide great service because ratings from repeat customers are monitored by Subaru.

One good survey from you can save the dealership thousands of dollars in bonus money. One bad survey has the opposite effect.

Mention you like to give good surveys every time you visit the service department and you will be surprised by the extra effort everyone provides.
