Tom's B&M Auto has been Lynnwood's go-to shop for Subaru owners since 1985 — the most popular brand in the Pacific Northwest — and our most frequently serviced make. ASE-certified, manufacturer-equivalent OBD-II diagnostics, upfront pricing, and a 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty on every repair.
Factory-level Subaru diagnostic scan reading Subaru-specific fault codes including STARLINK, EyeSight, and AWD system codes. EJ engine oil consumption assessment and combustion leak test for head gasket evaluation.
Subaru-specific fluids mandatory: Subaru Super Coolant for all EJ and FB engines, Subaru ATF HP for Lineartronic CVTs, Subaru gear oil for front and rear differentials. MLS head gasket upgrade where applicable.
Post-repair road test and coolant level monitoring. EyeSight camera calibration available after windshield or front suspension work. All Subaru services backed by our 24-month/24,000-mile warranty.
Subaru head gasket failure on EJ engines is predictable and preventable — with the right coolant. The original composite head gaskets failed partly due to coolant corrosion on aluminum heads. Subaru Super Coolant contains the specific corrosion inhibitors these engines require. Every Subaru cooling service we perform uses it.
Subaru Lineartronic CVT transmissions require Subaru ATF HP — not a universal CVT fluid. The CVT steel push belt requires a specific friction coefficient that universal fluids don't provide. CVT replacement costs $4,000-$6,000; a $120 fluid service prevents it.
Mandatory for EJ and FB engines. No standard antifreeze substitution.
Correct CVT fluid for Lineartronic transmissions. Not universal CVT fluid.
Hundreds of EJ205, EJ253, EJ257 head gasket replacements performed.
