When my CVT failed on my Subaru Outback I was shocked to learn replacing it would cost nearly $8,000! This is my 3rd Subaru because they have been reliable, rugged vehicles. I bought it new and kept up on all the maintenance. I went to the dealership in Grand Rapids, where I bought it, they and their service department tried to help but could not. I was directed to Subaru corporate level and they offered to give me $1,500.00 toward a new CVT or a new Subaru! I told them it was my 3rd Subaru, that their commercials advertise the longevity of their vehicles but they would not budge. So I told them it would be my last Subaru. I was furious and disappointed with a company I was so loyal to and had recommended to so many people. Javid Zahir at My Auto Service department is the last person I talked to about the issue and he proved customers, and customer loyalty really do matter. He had my CVT replaced at a price I felt was more than fair and he had to work hard to get things straightened out. In a time when everything is automated and quality customer service is getting scarce, Javid is an asset to his company and his customers.
