Subaru Repair: Maintenance and repair costs, boxer engine, maintaince


Question
Looking at new cars. Competing maker sales reps say maintenance and repair costs are high on Subaru because work on boxer engine is hard and very costly...

Any truth? Any web sites that show average cost data?

Answer
The boxer engine is one of the easiest engines I have ever worked on. You can have the engine out of the car and on an  engine stand in less than 2 hours(seriously)that in itself just goes to show how easy these cars are to work on.
As far as maintaince costs these cars are due for a checkup every 15K (189.95) and a major service at every 30K (319.95) if you where to follow the subaru maintaince plan.
hope this info helps
