The 2025 Subaru WRX comes from a long line of performance-forward vehicles that impress at the track and out on the open road. It’s also a popular modification platform for driving enthusiasts, and you’ll find many interesting options for making your new Subaru vehicle feel like your own. As you do, avoiding anything that could void your warranty is vital. Herb Gordon Subaru explains.
Use OEM Parts
It’s important to note that merely using aftermarket parts won’t void the warranty. That said, if it can be proven that those third-party parts and accessories are directly to blame for the damage, that can void the warranty. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts and accessories are better, since they’re a guaranteed fit and carry a much lower risk of premature failure or damage.
Get Your Accessories Installed at the Dealership
As with parts, you can get third-party service without automatically voiding the warranty. However, if you (or a third-party mechanic) damage something while installing components, this can void your warranty. The upshot of dealer-installed parts and accessories is that your warranty is protected, and that there’s accountability in the rare event that something goes wrong, rather than having to pay out of your pocket.
Consider Your Driving
We’re car people, so we completely understand the temptation to put your vehicle through its paces. Especially when you have a performance car, you want to see what it can do. Be careful, however, because reckless driving, high speeds, and racing can void the warranty if something goes wrong. Since we want to see you safe, drive carefully!
