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.

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.
