1. What Are Genuine Subaru Parts?
Genuine Subaru Parts are components engineered by Subaru and manufactured to meet the same specifications as the parts that originally came with your vehicle. They are not aftermarket, third-party, or off-brand—these are parts designed and tested by Subaru to function optimally with your specific make and model.
Why Genuine Matters:
- Exact Fit: No modification or guesswork required
- Built for Durability: Rigorously tested in extreme conditions
- Preserves Vehicle Warranty: Genuine parts help maintain your factory warranty
- Designed with Subaru Safety in Mind: Maintains crashworthiness and reliability
- Retains Resale Value: Keeps your Subaru in peak condition
Whether it’s an oil filter or a transmission, using the right part makes all the difference.

6. Common Myths About Aftermarket Parts
Some drivers choose aftermarket parts to save a few dollars, but the hidden costs can be steep. Let’s bust a few common myths:
Myth #1: “Aftermarket parts are just as good.”
Truth: Many are not crash-tested, don’t fit properly, or wear out faster.
Myth #2: “They don’t void my warranty.”
Truth: While you can legally use aftermarket parts, they can cause failures that Subaru won’t cover.
Myth #3: “I can save money.”
Truth: Poor fitment often leads to extra labor or re-installation costs.
When safety, performance, and longevity matter—trust only Subaru Genuine Parts.
