What is Subaru’s Extended Warranty?

In general terms, an extended warranty extends the time or mileage coverage of your vehicle’s warranty. So, if your standard warranty offers three years or 36,000 miles of coverage, purchasing an extended warranty will extend your coverage by an agreed-upon number of years or miles.

The Subaru extended warranty, Subaru Added Security, offers Subaru owners several plans to extend their warranties. You can purchase Subaru Added Security from Sport Subaru South in Orlando, Florida, or any authorized Subaru dealership. Subaru backs Subaru Added Security itself, not a third-party provider, so you can buy with confidence.

What Does Subaru’s Extended Warranty Cover?

We offer two Subaru extended warranty coverage plans. Its Gold Plus plan offers comprehensive coverage, while the Classic plan focuses on essential powertrain parts.

Subaru Added Security Classic Plan

Subaru designed its Classic plan to protect you against major mechanical breakdowns. Coverage includes:

• Subaru BOXER engine
• Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system
• Transmission
• Towing
• Car rental

Subaru Added Security Gold Plus Plan

Subaru built this plan for Subaru owners who want more comprehensive coverage. The Subaru Gold Plus plan includes all the Classic plan items plus:

• Air conditioning
• Electrical systems
• Steering components
• Front suspension
• Brakes

Common Repairs Covered by Subaru Added Security

Your Subaru Added Security plan includes repairs to your engine and its related components. Whether it’s a problem with your oil pump, timing belt, or water pump, we’ll fix it under the plan. We’ll also provide coverage for issues with air intakes, exhaust manifolds, cylinder heads, and other components.

The Gold Plus plan also covers your electrical system, including issues with your headlights, radio, or infotainment system. You also have warranty protection for brake system components such as calipers, discs, and your master cylinder.

Hitting a pothole or curb can damage your steering, suspension, and AWD systems. With Subaru Added Security, you’re protected in case any of these parts break. Even your air conditioner has coverage.

Perks of Subaru Added Security

Subaru Added Security offers great benefits such as free towing. Your extended warranty also covers a rental car if your Subaru needs more time for repairs. And you can transfer your Subaru Added Security plan to the next owner, which adds resale value.

How Long Does the Coverage Last?

Subaru Added Security can cover your vehicle for up to 10 years or 120,000 miles, depending on the plan. You can choose a $0 or $100 deductible to keep your out-of-pocket expenses low. You can also purchase your Subaru Added Security plan when you buy your new car or at any time before your factory warranty expires.

Cost of Subaru’s Extended Warranty

Depending on the model, Subaru Added Security pricing generally runs between $1,200 and $3,000. Other factors affecting the price include your coverage levels and deductible. For example, selecting the Classic plan and a higher deductible will save you money. If you prefer more protection and less risk, the Gold Plus plan, which has no deductible, costs a little more but provides greater peace of mind.

Subaru operates Subaru Added Security. This means you have a company with a vested interest in your long-term satisfaction looking after your vehicle. Other third-party extended warranty companies aren’t interested in your satisfaction and only want to protect their bottom line.

When you do need repairs, Subaru Added Security only uses genuine Subaru parts and authorized Subaru dealerships with no hidden fees, whereas third-party companies will use aftermarket parts and discounted repair facilities. Instead of receiving quality parts and expert service, you get cheaper parts and repairs performed by a mechanic who may not be experienced in repairing Subaru cars.

Is Subaru’s Extended Warranty Worth It?

Many customers ask us if Subaru Added Security is worth it. The answer depends on your plans. If you intend to own your car for longer than the factory warranty, then the extended warranty makes sense.

You may only be planning to keep your vehicle for a few years, but you might know you’ll log high mileage. If you expect to hit your mileage coverage limit early, this protection makes sense. Even if you purchase Subaru Added Security and never need it, you can transfer it to the next owner and recapture the cost when you sell your car.

Subaru vehicles have great reliability ratings, but sometimes things break anyway. Your Subaru has many complex systems, such as a continuously variable transmission. Repairing these complex systems can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, so spending the money upfront for an extended warranty may save you money down the road. And our finance department can include this cost in your auto loan with very little impact on your monthly payment.

How To Purchase a Subaru Extended Warranty

You can only buy Subaru Added Security from an authorized dealership, such as Sport Subaru South, Orlando’s premier Subaru dealership. We have the knowledge and experience to maintain and repair any issues you might have with your car.

Even if you choose not to buy Subaru Added Security when you first purchase your car, you can always come back and enroll in a plan as long as your factory warranty hasn’t expired. If you have questions, call us at 321-472-5323 and speak with one of our warranty specialists.
