At Haddad Subaru we love all of our Subaru-made cars, and we know each model we sell comes with state-of-the-art engineering and construction standard.
But, we also know that the world of car-engineering isn't perfect and things can break and need repair, even on our wonderful Subaru-made cars.
This video explains the design philosophy and mechanical engineering that goes into each Subaru boxer-style engine. While it's a wonderful piece of ingenuity and runs great for a long time, we know it's not infallible.
If you fear the dreaded head gasket repair or replacement that some other drivers have faced, we've put together some head gasket failure and repair research for you. We hope it helps set your mind at ease about what it really means when your car "blows" a head gasket.
The Car's Head Gasket
First of all, despite the fact that most people use the word "blown" when describing a failed head gasket, it doesn't mean your car will spontaneously combust.
What it does mean, however, is that the small head gasket part, which is located deep within the engine, has failed for some reason or another and the car's coolant and oil are suddenly mixing instead of remaining separate.
The reason why a lot of people fear the head gasket is because it can be a costly and lengthy repair, depending on your exact situation. The head gasket itself is not the expensive part, but the service can run high because of where the part is situated inside the engine.

The bad news is the head gasket repair can be so involved that it's not usually an at-home, layperson's repair. But, the good news is, here at Haddad Subaru, our service center is staffed with Subaru experts who can help.
Whether your car needs a big repair, like a head gasket replacement, or regular routine maintenance, you want a Subaru expert on your side. Our service center not only provides professional maintenance, it's also easy to use with convenient online appointment scheduling.
