Extended warranties and protection plans are often available at purchase or shortly after, though eligibility and pricing depend on your vehicle's age, mileage, and condition. Some plans can be added later, but buying at or near purchase typically locks in better rates and broader coverage. If you already own a Subaru and are interested in additional protection, Castle Subaru McHenry's service and finance teams can review your vehicle and discuss current plan options. Coverage varies-some plans cover wear items, others focus on major repairs-so it's worth exploring what fits your needs and budget. Call (779) 601-0797 to ask about available protection plans for your specific Subaru.
