GENUINE SUBARU PARTS

WORRY-FREE
BRAKES & SERVICE

If you’re considering new parts for your vehicle, you’ll want
to put the brakes on your purchase until you read this.
When you think of your vehicle’s brakes, you may assume that servicing and replacing
them is just another item of regular vehicle maintenance. Yet, in reality, they may be one
of the most important active safety features of your vehicle. After all, often one of the
first measures taken to avoid an accident is applying the brakes to slow down and stop
your vehicle safely.
That’s why it’s so important to make sure that you choose brake parts with
a reputation and history of safety, excellent workmanship and the highest
calibre of quality.
Let's consider Genuine Subaru parts for example. All Subaru replacement brake
pads, shims and rotors are designed by the same Subaru engineers that painstakingly
perfected the design of your vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit every time. Along with a
custom brake pad fit come far fewer annoying squeaks. And just as Subaru engineers
selected only quality materials for your Subaru, we also made sure that replacement
brake materials are of superior quality to reduce the risk of overheating and failure.
While it may be tempting to choose the brake pad kit attached to the lowest price
tag, it’s more important to consider where your vehicle’s parts are manufactured. Subaru
carefully screens each parts supplier to ensure that the level of craftsmanship is up to
Subaru’s high standards. Across our entire lineup, Subaru’s brake pads and rotors are
produced by Japanese suppliers that ensure good working environments and fair wages
for their employees. Similarly, the Subaru Impreza WRX STI’s brake pads and rotors come
from an Italian supplier with reputable labour practices.
Genuine Subaru replacement brakes and rotors are also produced by suppliers that
adhere to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality and environmental management system
standards. Subaru chooses suppliers that adhere to these measured business practices
because our own manufacturing facilities – both in Japan and North America – are also
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified. We believe it’s important that our parts suppliers are
as committed to the same strict standards of quality and environmental
responsibility as we are.
We also believe that adhering to such strict
worldwide standards – and choosing suppliers
that do the same – translates into peace
of mind for you, knowing that your
vehicle’s parts are built to the
same exacting standards time
and time again.

Don’t let poor quality brake parts ever
break your driving confidence. Experience
the difference with Genuine Subaru parts.
