Trusted Subaru repair in Colorado Springs

Colorado runs on Subarus and so does our Colorado Springs bay schedule. Import Specialty Auto has decades of experience with the boxer-engine playbook — head gaskets on EJ25, oil consumption on FB25, CVT service intervals, AWD differential service, and the timing chain or belt work that's so easy to neglect.

We service Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy, WRX, STI, Ascent, and BRZ with OEM Subaru parts, Subaru Super Coolant, and the correct CVTF (CVTF-II or High Torque CVTF, depending on chassis).

Every repair is backed by a 3-year / 36,000-mile nationwide warranty and we'll keep your Subaru on the trail or commuting up I-25 reliably.

Common Subaru issues we fix

These are the Subaru problems we see most often at our Colorado Springs shop — and that we know how to fix the first time.

  • EJ25 head gasket failure (external coolant leak)
  • FB25 oil consumption (piston rings)
  • CVT shudder, judder, and software updates (Lineartronic)
  • Rear differential and rear wheel bearing wear

  • Valve cover and cam carrier seal leaks
  • Front control-arm bushing wear on Outback / Forester
  • Subaru oil-pickup screen restriction on FA20 (WRX/BRZ)

Signature Subaru services

The Subaru-specific work our techs do most — with the parts and procedures that actually solve it.

EJ25 Head Gasket Replacement
OEM multi-layer gaskets, machined heads, and a full cooling refresh — done right once.
Lineartronic CVT Fluid Service
Drain-and-fill with genuine Subaru High Torque CVTF — extends CVT life dramatically.
EJ25 Timing Belt Kit
Belt, water pump, tensioners, idlers, and Subaru Super Coolant in one visit.
AWD Differential & Transfer Service
Front, rear, and trans-axle fluids — the service most Subaru owners skip.

Subaru maintenance — what owners should know

  • CVT fluid is NOT lifetime — service every 30,000–45,000 miles on Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Ascent.
  • Timing belt at 105,000 miles on EJ25 — overdue belts wreck the engine.
  • Use Subaru Super Coolant only — universal coolants don't play nice with the cooling stop-leak.
  • FB25 owners: track oil consumption between changes — a quart per 1,200 miles is your warranty trigger.

Why Subaru owners choose ISA

  • Boxer-engine experience most general shops don't have.
  • Genuine Subaru fluids in-house — Super Coolant and matched-spec CVTF.
  • We service lifted and overlanded Subarus weekly — we know the camber, bushing, and AWD math.

Serving Subaru owners in Colorado Springs, Monument, Falcon, Black Forest, Briargate, Fountain, and Manitou Springs.

FAQ

Subaru Repair — Common Questions

On the EJ25 (most 2000–2011 Outback/Forester/Legacy), yes — it's a known external coolant leak. We replace with updated multi-layer steel gaskets and machine the head surface. Newer FB-series engines do not have this issue.
