Subaru Service and repair cost

Sonuka Perera · March 21, 2024

Hi,

Reaching out to autolanka moderators since I have had no luck in order to figure out how to sort this.

im looking to buy a Subaru XV and I checked many through Car checks.

but I have a hard time In order to figure out how much it will cost to fix the issue mentioned in the car check report.

Even senok is incomplete when they check on the issues and they don’t apparently check hybrid battery conditions.

any advise on how to proceed is appreciated.

Well...if you have the list of things that need to be repaired from the CC report, can't you go and get a quote from the agents for the repairs ?

If the issue is with the Hybrid system and the agents do not repair Subaru Hybrid systems then I would say go to a reputed Hybrid specialist and get a quote from them. Since Subaru Hybrids are not that common I doubt anyone will be able to give you a quote at the drop of a hat like for an Aqua or Prius or something.

This is the first thing I tried and then senok mentioned they don’t issue estimates for third party checks.

so I placed that said vehicle for senok inspection and they didn’t properly detect any issue which car checks detected and when I questioned all their excuse was they don’t usually check on this.

it was a disappointment.

I will have a look at the same. That will resolve 1 of the issue.

Hi has the issue being sorted. If not can I know whether issues you have are hybrid battery related or other mechanical issues?

If its mechanical, I suppose you know that there is a reputed guy in Kottawa who does Subarus. I also once took my XV to him. Try that.

Hey Thanks for your message. It's mainly mechanical. Although i'm still looking for a hybrid specialist also.
My main concern is that Car checks have mentioned there's a jerk in the gearbox. Senok couldn't figure out the issue. I've test driven it and i also feel there's a vibration when changing gears.

Unfortunately i have not hear about the guy in Kottawa. Will you be able to state the person. It would be a real help.
