I have a 2006 WRX that is almost 3 years old and so the clock is ticking on the “3 years or 36,000 miles” warranty. I have a little less than 28,000 miles on the car.

Should I take it in for the 30,000 mile service before the 3 year anniversary just to get it checked out? Or is it okay to leave the 30K service until it has reached 30K – which may not be for another couple of months?

 

you can bring it in a few hundered/1000 miles early before the service. i work at stevens creek subaru i see cars come in with + or - 3000 miles before a scheduled service.

 

Would it be wise to take the car in to be checked out before the “3 years or 36,000 miles” warranty expires?

 

I would, My 06 got a check engine light right after the 36K and warranty won't cover it...
