Subaru Added Security’s focus is on customer satisfaction, not extended service agreement profits. Independent providers profit only if their costs are less than what you paid for protection.That means a large number of customers who had valid claims were not paid or received only partial reimbursements. The 10 leading independent providers 10 years ago are all out of business today.

And as with your original Subaru warranty, we use only new or Subaru re-manufactured parts - not “like” or used parts. If a covered component breaks, our Subaru-trained technicians will fix it. Subaru, on the other hand, stands behind the Added Security program because our goal is to ensure that your ownership experience makes you want to buy another Subaru.
