Full Subaru main dealer service history is crucial for resale value, warranty validity, and buyer confidence. Vehicles with complete official service records typically sell for more.

Subaru offers the free MySubaru app (see mysubaru.com) which lets owners track service history, access owner's manuals, and schedule services. Dealer maintenance appears on MySubaru.com after you register your VIN, though it may take up to 30 days for records to update. Not all dealers may participate in automatic uploading.
