Subaru Body Shop vs. Service Center

Are you trying to decide whether you need a Subaru body shop or a service center? The team at Kirby Subaru of Ventura is here to help you understand the difference and choose the right path for your repair. Knowing where to go for your specific automotive needs can save you time and ensure your vehicle gets the proper care.

What a Subaru Body Shop Handles

A body shop specializes in repairing physical damage to your vehicle’s exterior. If you've been in a fender bender or need work done due to hail, scratches, dents, or paint damage, a body shop is the place to go. These shops often handle insurance claims and offer services like frame straightening, paint matching, and bumper replacement. While they may also perform some light mechanical work, their primary focus is cosmetic and structural repair.

What a Subaru Service Center Offers

On the other hand, a Subaru service center focuses on your vehicle’s mechanical needs. Whether you need a routine oil change, brake inspection, engine diagnostics, or transmission repair, our trained technicians are here to help. We use genuine Subaru parts designed for optimal fit and performance. Our service center also handles tire rotations, battery testing, air conditioning repair, and multi-point inspections to keep your vehicle road-ready. No matter the job, you’ll receive expert care backed by Subaru training and factory standards.
