Warranty question

sizzflair · 03-29-2007, 08:45 AM

Hmm... I've heard a lot of stories from people who got their "warranties" done on their brake pads and such.

I have extended 3 yr 60k mile warranty... now... I went to the dealer and they said that brake pads and other items are not covered by warranty. How do ppl change their pads at dealership then? is it just 1 year? I've had my car since August of 05.

I mean it's not a problem. I have the HP ceremic pads + other goodies coming... just wanted to clearify it

Aftermarket? I dont think they will do that for you, depends really on how cool your dealer is about it.

Subaru's factory 3/36,000 covers a 1 time adjustment on certain things like Alignment, balancing, bulb's etc. The brake pads fall into the wear item warranty which is 3/36,000 and we will put on factory pads as long as it isn't abuse or owner caused.

Yeah, it's covered. I had my original pads replaced and rotors redone a month or two before my 3 year warranty expired. Might as well have them slap on the brembo pads while it's covered - then just replace them with the HPs and have a spare set when you need them.

Most dealers will not do that depending on the dealer and whether or not they want to risk getting caught in an audit. If it is under warranty, the original part comes off, a factory part goes on.
