Although Subaru claimed that it has several subaru machenical service departments around great toronto area, but by comparing to Honda and Toyota whichever have more other small but cheap service shops, subaru takes no adventages. I mean just looking around at all those cheap service repairing stores opened by some Chinese owners(they are cheap and good service), you can actually get you Toyota whole CV shaft replaced at a competitive *can't be beat* price. But the point is that once I phoned them, they seem never have had any parts for Subaru or so(actually one guy claimed he never repaired a Subaru, and another seems never heard of 'Subaru'..Pugh).... all they have are Toyota,Honda, and other popular car parts.
So I doubt that owning a Subaru will definitely cost you more, anyone agree?
