Common Subaru Repairs We Perform

While incredibly capable, Subaru's unique engine layout has led to well-known repair patterns as the vehicles age. With years of advanced diagnostic experience, the mechanics at Proper Motor Works are fully equipped to handle complex Subaru repairs, including:

• Cam Carrier & Valve Cover Oil Leaks: Pinpointing and resealing common oil leaks found on the newer FB-series engines, preventing oil from dripping onto the hot exhaust.
• Wheel Bearing & Hub Replacement: A highly frequent repair on Subarus, effectively eliminating the loud humming or grinding noises from the wheels at highway speeds.
• CV Axle & Boot Repair: Replacing torn CV boots or clicking axle shafts that frequently fail due to suspension travel and harsh winter conditions.
