I have a 2017 Forester XT with 131,000 miles - have only done routine maintenance and have had to replace brakes front and rear as well as both control arms and struts, all expected with this many miles on it. I plan to keep it for as long as I can. Love it!
I do the minor maintenance myself: oil/filter, air filters, wiper blades.
I save enough $$ on the DIY portion, so I don't mind using my dealer for the other stuff: front & rear dif fluids, CVT fluid, brake fluid, brake pads, etc.
2011 2.5 Outback, just turned 255,000 miles. One set of brake pads
I did them myself for $600, Textar pads and Zimmerman rotors.
2022 Outback, 144k, never had any problems. Have replaced tires, brakes,and the battery. Follow all mfg recommendations for service. Always dealer serviced. Very happy with mine.
Textar makes good pads but they get brake dust everywhere. They are currently the stock ones on my 23 m40i.
Blew threw mine at 30K
We were quoted slightly over $1000 USD for brake pads and rotor resurfacing. \ud83e\udd72 Dealership quote. Going to another shop.
Bro they're trying to fuck you hard. Take that vehicle somewhere else and never go back. No way the rear pads should be at 2mm after only 30k miles
The stock brake pads leave much to be desired.
