Protection Plan Personalization and Deductible Options

Once you have chosen one of the three Subaru Protection Plans (Powertrain S.U.R., Major S.U.R. and Complete S.U.R.), you can further customize your coverage by determining the deductible amount that seems fair to you ($0, $100 or $250). For any repair covered by your Subaru Protection Plan, you will only pay the deductible (as well as applicable taxes). If the new part is also defective, you will not have to pay any deductible for the repair. Depending on the Subaru vehicle you own, the duration of the Subaru Protection Plan varies from 3 months/5,000 km to 7 years/160,000 km. Your Desjardins Subaru dealer in Quebec City near Lévis can help you determine which plan will best meet your needs.
