Mick and the team were great with the electrical diagnostics on my Subaru. They have done an awesome job of tracing down the issue.
Great staff & service — Subaru experts. Knew exactly what my car needed and got it done.
Incredible guys and mechanics — thank you for sorting my Subaru out. Honest, fast and properly priced.
STI gearbox needed a full rebuild after a track season. Mick stripped it, showed me the worn parts, rebuilt it with the right upgrades. Shifts like new. Workmanship guarantee — proper job.
Forester CVT was hesitating and three other shops wouldn't touch it. Japline diagnosed it properly, serviced the valve body, saved me from a $7k replacement. Honest workshop.
Fleet Outback needed the auto rebuilt. Rebuild-vs-replace quote was transparent and honest, decided to rebuild, done in five days. Best decision — saved thousands.

Most owners who find us have already paid dealer prices once and want a smarter option. Here's what makes this different.
Subaru-Only Workshop
We don't split attention across every brand. Subaru is what we know, what we tool up for and what we get right.
Genuine Subaru Parts
Same genuine Subaru parts the dealer fits, sourced direct. No grey-market, no aftermarket where the log book asks for OEM.
Warranty Safe
Servicing at Japline keeps your new-car warranty intact. Stamped log book and full documentation, every time.
Dealer-Beating Pricing
Same parts, same schedule, lower bill. We're a specialist workshop — not a dealership carrying showroom overheads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your Subaru in.
Common warning signs: crunching or grinding when changing gears, slipping under acceleration, juddering on take-off, whining noises, warning lights, harsh shifts on the auto, or a CVT that hesitates. Any of these, bring it in — we'll diagnose and quote.
Depends on what's failed, the model and the cost difference. Some failures are cheap to rebuild; others are smarter to replace with a known good unit. We'll tell you both options with prices so you can decide.
Yes. Subaru Lineartronic CVT service, valve body work, fluid changes and full diagnostics. A lot of workshops shy away from CVTs — we don't, because we've done plenty.

Highly dependent on the model, the failure and whether you go rebuild or replace. We'll diagnose first, then quote you fully itemised before any work begins — so no surprises.
