Why Trust the Factory-Trained Technicians at Carlsen Subaru in Redwood City, CA?
Subaru vehicles aren't like the other cars and SUVs on the road. Every Subaru comes with a flat BOXER® engine, and all but one Subaru model comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. That's a unique level of engineering that you shouldn't trust with just any mechanic. That's why we staff our authorized service center with some of the best Subaru technicians in the area. We'll only use OEM and factory-approved parts and products when we take care of your Subaru. These are the same parts that are available for you to take care of your own Subaru maintenance. What's more, we believe in helping our customers stay well-informed. Along with our Subaru comparison pages, we offer service pages like these to help you have a better idea of what's going on with your ride. Of course, we're always excited to talk about all things Subaru, so come see us in person at Carlsen Subaru near San Mateo, CA.
