Subaru Repair in Murrieta
Head gaskets, timing belts and oil leaks on EJ and FB engines.
Subaru's boxer engines have signature issues: EJ-series head gaskets, cam and crank seal leaks, and timing belt intervals that shouldn't be stretched. We do these jobs regularly and quote them honestly.
We also handle CVT service, cooling system work and the wheel-and-tire-free mechanical repairs Outbacks, Foresters, Imprezas and Legacys need as they age.

Questions
Straight answers
Are Subaru head gaskets always a problem?
It's common on older EJ engines. We test cylinder leakage and combustion gases before recommending it.
How often is the timing belt due?
Around 105k miles on belt-driven engines — don't stretch it, they're interference designs.
Do you use OEM gaskets?
Yes, updated multi-layer steel gaskets, not budget kits.
