LIARS AND THIEVES! These guys will keep charging you for work they don't do. Extended warranty for full transmission on my Forester. Brought it to these guys and they These guys will keep charging you for work they don't do. Extended warranty for full transmission on my Forester. Brought it to these guys and they flushed the transmission fluid, then did their diagnostic to tell me the whole transmission was to be replaced. Then a few days later called to tell me no just the valve body of the transmission is being replaced now - and a second transmission flush. Paid and got the car back and before I even got home all the engine lights came on. I called them immediately and returned the car the next morning. Then they told me they needed to do another diagnostic and also that they don't think its a transmission issue this time that they think it could be the turbo, that they need to do an 'engine cleaning'. I told them the rpm chuggin issue happens regardless of the turbo on or off. So I went ahead anyways with the engine cleaning and second diagnostic - paid and done. Then they told me oh its not the turbo or the transmission, it's a tumbler valve...for $1700. So I took to another Subaru mechanic to replace the tumbler valve. But the RPM chuggng issue was still there. I called Subaru Outaouais and told them the tumbler valve was not the issue and the chugging still remains. I brought it back tothem again. All the time I kept the car PARKED all this time and DID NOT DRIVE IT aside from the visit to the other mechanic to fix the tumbler valve. So after four weeks of them telling me every other day or so that they have no answers and don't know what's wrong, that the guy was sick etc etc, they finally call me today to tell me Eureka they have found the problem that its not the transmission, I need an 'ENGINE CLEANING''. Hmmm...The last time I had it in with you you did an engine cleaning and funny enough I have had it parked and NOT DRIVEN IT. But the guy tries to sell me on paying for yet another 'engine clean' telling me that yes we did the first engine clean but since then you drove it and the engine has gotten gunked up again. I HADN"T EVEN DRIVEN IT, other than back to them and the one mechanic to have the tumbler valve fixed (that they told me would fix the issue). I informed him that you had just done an engine cleaning and its not been driven. To which he replied, oh well we have to do it two maybe three times,and the car has been in Subaru Outaouais's possession for the past FOUR WEEKS! I havent even had the car....they had it! He still tries to convince me I need to do yet another engine clean'. I refused it and told them I'm coming to pickup the vehicle and take it elsewhere. Booked an appointment with another dealer, who said 'engine clean'? And that the issue I'm having sounds very much like a transmission issue. Everything about the issue says transmission issue! So when I go to pick up my car, the girl hands the keys and I take them and head outside to get my car. The manager flies out of the building telling me he's going to call the police, that I'm stealing my own keys and that I owe them for a second diagnostic of $100 or so. I told him to give me my car. He pulls out his phone and starts filming me. Again, I say give me my car. you've had it for four weeks only to tell me to do an engine cleaning twice over and pay for a diagnostic that I already paid for. I walked to my car and drove away. I then received a phone message saying they have called the police on me and that I have stolen my own keys. Still my car has a chugging issue at 1500-2000 RPM. They fixed nothing. They racked up bill after bill of fake problems. I doubt at this point they even did the first 'engine cleaning'. They will keep telling you, you need this and that, but they never actually fix anything. They won't honour the warranty of the transmission. The entire lawsuit against Subaru transmission issue shows exactly the very same issues my car is experiencing. Two other Subaru mechanics agree the issue is likely transmission related. Ridiculous! You Subaru Outaouais are the thief here. More
Horrible pressure tactics demanding that you have ridiculous and costly inspections or your warranty will not be respected. They changed the rims on our car six weeks and forgot to clean and lightly ridiculous and costly inspections or your warranty will not be respected. They changed the rims on our car six weeks and forgot to clean and lightly sand the rims before putting in the tires and they never applied the scellant required for the job.. We were almost killed on the highway when all four tires lost air and one fell off the rim. No apologies when I contacted them after the incident, instead they tried to sell me four new tires and rims. Deplorable service. More
cheating , never repaired what was needed and charged $900 I brought my subaru to this dealer and the electronic system was checked twice ,and everything was normal according to Subaru outaouais , but t $900 I brought my subaru to this dealer and the electronic system was checked twice ,and everything was normal according to Subaru outaouais , but the reason I brought my car in was because the engine light was red and blinking , the cruze control had stopped fonctionning , and so when I locked my car the engine light blinked and drained my battery , I needed to be towed twice because of this problem . My turning lights also blinked very fast . I am not a mechanic , but I know this was an electronic problem . They put in a new battery (I was told by a previous mechanic that my battery was excellent ) they also did a wheel aligment which was not necessary in the winter , because of all the pot holes everywhere . i am back in Canada after many years and was alone and I am a female and I was grossly taken advantage of . I wrote to the Ottaoais president and complain ,without receving an answer . I will pursue my complains to a higher level ..I still have the problem , i will never trust this place again , More

But after 3 short block (engine) changes due to excessive oil consumption, and a fair number of other issues along the way, I can confirm that I am done with Subaru Outaouais. And Subaru as a whole for that matter. Subaru Outaouais' after sale services (i.e. repair and maintenance) is straight up dishonest and totally lack transparency. Whether it was an honest mistake or an attempt to falsify future oil consumption results for my case; the Quality Control Director at Subaru Outaouais preferred lie to me rather than admitting that they had over filled the oil by almost 2 litters! TWICE! --- J'ai débuté en tant que fan de Subaru... Mais après 3 changements de short-bloc (moteur) dus à une consommation d'huile excessive et ainsi qu’un lot de problèmes en cours de route, je peux confirmer que j'en ai fini avec Subaru Outaouais. Et Subaru dans son ensemble d'ailleurs. Le service après-vente de Subaru Outaouais (c'est-à-dire la réparation et l'entretien) est carrément malhonnête et manque totalement de transparence. Qu'il s'agisse d'une erreur de bonne foi ou d'une tentative de falsification des futurs résultats de consommation d'huile pour mon cas ; le directeur du contrôle de la qualité chez Subaru Outaouais a préféré me mentir plutôt que d'admettre qu'ils avaient fait un trop plein d'huile de près de 2 litres! DEUX FOIS! More
