Factory-certified and trained technicians have had years of experience where they have confirmed and documented that non-factory parts will fail sooner than factory parts. They have discovered that the price of cutting done by non-factory parts companies often drops the quality and the life of the repair.
A good example of this is where a non-trained mechanic uses a different coolant than the Subaru factory coolant. The chemicals in the non-factory approved product can chemically react with the components in the system and the vehicle's cooling system causing deterioration over time, causing damage to the head gaskets, plugging radiators, and/or causing coolant leaks. Once this problem is started, it is expensive to correct. Factory service procedures and parts are designed to avoid such problems.
Subaru technicians are trained in every Subaru system, taught to understand the interrelationships between systems, and trained in looking for preventative measures.
They need solid reading, mathematics, and computer skills to study, analyze and comprehend technical manuals. They must also study on their own to keep up with new technology and learn new service and repair procedures and specifications. The ability to diagnose the source of a problem quickly and accurately requires good reasoning ability and a thorough knowledge of each automotive system and their interactions.
Subaru requires periodic technician reassessment to verify that the technician is keeping up with technology. This assessment process is required to remain certified. And of course, training is provided for every new model and every model year.
