Up until around 10 years ago, it did not really matter where your vehicle was serviced and repaired. What mattered back then—quality repairs and great customer service—are still important, but now the manufacturers demand their products be repaired a specific way. Subaru is one of those manufacturers.
That means, if your Subaru ends up damaged in an unfortunate incident, you should take it to a Subaru Certified Body Shop like Elmer’s Auto Body if you want it repaired using the appropriate parts and techniques.
