These specialists know their cars and they know Subaru...very well. The staff are competent, courteous and a delight to do business with. I recommend them unreservedly!
After our Forester engine blew up, we chose an ADS Level 3 remanufactured engine. Never has our car been so thoroughly inspected as ADS did. They sent photos of every part that needed to be repaired or replaced and we were amazed at the poor condition of some. Tomas and Robert gave us much advice along the way and communicated frequently to keep us fully updated re work and costs. We followed all their advice on what should be done and are extremely satisfied with the finished job - completed a week or so sooner than expected. We were most impressed with their factory when Robert took us through it. Two fills of fuel show the consumption to be 9.2 and 9.1/100km. We'll add a review in 12 months time and trust it will still be a glowing one.
Thanks to all the ADS people for the great job done.
The guys at All Drive Subaroo were helpful with the selection of gearbox to suit my car and plans for it. The price was really good and the box was built for me in less than 2 days. They sourced Subaru genuine parts I needed and had all of it packaged up ready to pick up. Top quality work by top blokes. Thanks for helping me to get my car back on the road.
The staff were terrific. Knew what I needed and could afford.

Such a relief to be back on the road feeling secure that the Gearbox will do what it is supposed to do.

thanks guys, and the mum who answered the phone sometimes.
Big thanks to the guys at ADS, they saw me on short notice to prep my STI for a track day, sent me progress photos and kept me up to date regarding pick up. They go above and beyond, more so than your dealership or standard mechanic and make you feel really comfortable about leaving your car with them because of their attention to detail and quality work. Highly recommend!
Recently we had to sort out what to do with our ageing Subaru MY 07 Liberty GT that we have loved for many years: repair or sell?
A Subaru Service centre in our town, couldn’t help in our decision; it’s just getting old!!
All Drive Subaroo in Peakhurst was our next stop. We ventured from 100 km away and were greeted by the best customer service person we’ve ever had to deal with in over 30 years.
He was welcoming and courteous and promised to return the car that afternoon with an answer.
We highly recommend that if you’re in Sydney,or elsewhere, and you have a Subaru, get it checked by All Drive
Subaroo.
That’s a slam-dunk: you’ll get the best service the best attitude and honest answers. Overall, a great experience.
Chris I would like to thank you along with Issac and Niazi and all involved in getting my sons car back on the road for him.

Unfortunately it was left up to myself to make arrangements to have his car repaired due to the long hours that he works and the stress that he felt he was under given the fact that he had only purchased the car in the last 3-4 weeks using all his savings to do so.

I choose Alldrive Subaroo after doing some research online and reading all of the positive reviews.

Being 53 I personally had no experience with these types of cars (I have added some photos of my cars to show how far my knowledge is with these WRX cars so you can understand)

I can say that I was treated from the start to the finish like a VIP everything was explained to me in a manner that I could understand as well as all cost upfront.

Its very rare these days to get the service that I received from every one that I spoke with along with pictures sent of the engine building process.

All this gave me full confidence that you guys were doing the right thing by me knowing that I was six hours away lack of any knowledge and a father willing to do what ever was needed for his son.

My son will be given strict instructions that his car is only to go to you guys for any maintenance/service needs that it may require

Truly Thankful

Robert Davidson
The guys were incredibly knowledgeable, turned my situation around and brought my WRX back from the dead better than ever.
talked about what i wanted and tailored it to suit, kept me up to date every step of the way.

awesome upgrade, and awesome people.
will be going straight back for future modifications
Cost, transparency and expertise!
Let me tell you something about these guys , my car went into them 2 months ago , towed it to all drive subaroo coming from another mechanic who have failed my engine badly , these guys put their dedication and time into my car , they cared and did all they can , thabk god for these guys , my car has now been returned home in perfect condition , thank you so much to every single one of yous who did all for my suby , appreciate it 😍😍
Great service and advice from Chris and Robert at ADS. Very competitive pricing and excellent workshop.
I called up for advice having just bought my first Subaru, a clean white 04 liberty sedan 3.0SpecB six speed manual, (pre facelift, non-centre diff control) and had questions about the viscous coupling and gearbox, and the amazingly helpful bloke on the phone couldn't have explained it better or more simply, aftermarket LSD's, their own uprated viscous couplers, how to test the viscous coupler (by jacking one wheel and trying to move it, smooth resistance is what you want).
What more could you ask for?
I'm looking for more advice having just bought a 2.5 '04 wagon 5spd with low range, as a replacement for the sedan whose nose was broken, whacked by a young girl texting and driving her Mazda.
I'll eventually give All Drive Subaroo some money for their services, gladly.

Fantastic to Deal with. They know the product. Amazing
I had planned a track day with my GC8 WRX STI on Sunday, so took it for a quick drive around the block on Saturday to make sure it was running ok. 5mins into driving it wouldn’t rev cleanly over 3000rpm. I’ve had issues with this before and thought my Sunday Track Day was over unless I could find someone to fix it on a Saturday?? All Drive Subaru was open so limped the car out there where Isaac had a look over it for me. After diagnosing what could be wrong he systematically looked at about 3-4 issues which was causing the car to do this which he explained to me as he went through them. This took 2.5hrs which was 2.5hrs after he was meant to finish his shift and leave but stayed because he wanted to find the solution to get my car running so I could get to the Track Day on Sunday. Needless to say after 2.5hrs of not rushing but fixing the problem and any associated problems which could have arisen on my Trackday the car ran perfectly. I went to leave & fix them up for the 2.5hrs Isaac had spent on my car and Niazi and Isaac said “Don’t worry it’s on us”!!! I would have been ready to pay anything for their effort and getting me to my Trackday the next day where apart from being disappointed I would have lost $300 not being there. I didn’t want to leave without paying for there service but they insisted.(I had never been there before). I’m actually blown away by a business that provides this type of customer service that is so genuine, honest and passionate. These guys are next level in knowledge, quality and honesty as a business and Subaru’s. I’m definitely a convert and will be using these guys for all my existing and future needs as I develop my STI.
awesome service, accurate and helpful advice. Pricing was very competitive too.
Motor gearbox and diffs all working well. 1500klms done. Could not be happier. Well worth the dollars spent. 10 deserts here I come
Excellent service and competitive pricing
Customer service n assistance is far beyond my expectations
As a pensioner its full value for money
Management n staff are friendly helpful n at times funny its like family thank you so much
George Pieri _customer new
My experience with All Drive Subaroo was excellent. I ordered a reconditioned gearbox for my daughter's 2008 Forester and collected it last Friday. From Niazi (the owner) to Rob, Chris, Adam, Ruben and the young guy in the workshop who cleaned up the parts that I needed to keep (who's name I didn't get), there was their obvious experience and knowledge of all things Subaru, plus their professionalism, helpfulness and, importantly, respect for this old guy trying to get my daughter's car back on the road. I'll be recommending them to anyone I can.
Just bought my first Subaru late last year and absolutely stoked I decided to visit ADS.
If you want something done right on your Subaru, this is the place you want to take it!

Such a great team there who really love their Subarus and show that same love to their customers cars.
They always spare the time to ensure you get exactly what you want....or better than you thought possible!
Great service! I ordered a part and it arrived the next day. Staff were very polite and friendly. Thanks guys.
Congrats to Isaac, Gab and the team and all drive. Your boys done well today and Wakefield.
Running late this morning with kids and the guys quickly changed a battery on my remote and sent me on my way and didn't ask for a cent. Now that is what I call service and why I send my car there
Great communication, very honest and willing to help. Will be back soon to get more upgrades and do my services.

Subaroo managed to supply the gearbox in less than 3 days at a very affordable price.I have now driven more than 1000km back to Brisbane and am very satisfied with the response and smoothness of the gearbox. Great job, team !

I haven't even been to ADS yet, yet the willingness to help.. 5 stars!Really appreciate the call, especially when I've been stressing about the problem for a month.Cheers!
Response from the owner: Hi Moo,Thank you for the review!Team ADS
I was referred to All Drive Subaroo by a mechanic in Northern NSW to enquire with some highly technical questions about engine internals.The technicians were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to help.I've called a few times since, with questions specific to Subarus, and each person I spoke to was highly expert.Would love to make my way to All Drive Subaroo for an engine rebuild in the future.
Response from the owner: Hi Jackson,Thank you for your 5-star review, we would love to help you out, let us know if you are in the area, we can take you on a tour of the workshop.Thank again,Team ADS
Super easy to deal with and knowledgeable too.Ordered a level 2 motor to replace my old tired ej251 along with associated parts, it arrived promptly and is noticeably smoother than the old one.The whole process was straightforward and well explained.
Response from the owner: Hi Luke,Thank you for your review, You were also super easy to deal with, we are stoked that your new EJ251 is noticeably smoother and running well for you! I'll pass it onto the team. Thank you again!Team ADS
Couldn't be happier with All Drive Subaroo. From the 1st phone call Tomas was polite, helpful with a wealth of knowledge he helped me through supplying an exchange engine for my 09 Forester and also chased some other parts for me when I couldn't find them myself. When you go there all the staff put the customer 1st and are happy to help. What a wonderful , knowledgable , professional outlet for all Subaru needs. Thank you guys.Mick S.
Response from the owner: Hi Michael,Thank you for your 5-star review!It has been a pleasure dealing with you and helping repair your Forester.We hope you enjoy owning a reliable Subaru once more.Best regards,Team ADS

Legends!!
Response from the owner: Takes one to know one Henry!Thank you for the review.Team ADS
The staff at ADS quickly diagnosed the ‘hum’ coming from the rear of our beloved stock 04 XT. It was their last day of trading for 2025 and they said they would be able to get a new bearing fitted- while we wait! They gave us a loan car so we were not inconvenienced. Such amazing service from such wonderful people! It’s a shame we don’t live in Sydney or they would be the ones we go to for all our Subie work- thanks again legends!
Response from the owner: Hi Amiuus,Thank you for your 5-star review!It has been a pleasure dealing with you and we are glad that we cold inspect your car and diagnose the issue.Please let us know if we can help with anything else.Thanks again,Team ADS
I wouldn't and couldn't take our Forester anywhere else -- I drive half way across Sydney to get their expert and honest service -- and it has sure paid off recently when we have needed realtime advice and quick service. These guys are great.
Response from the owner: Hello Jeremy,Thank you for your 5-star review!Always a pleasure to deal with you and we are glad that we could help sort out your misfire issue the yesterday.Thank you again,Team ADS
Tomas and his crew at All Drive Subaroo have been amazing. After buying a late model XV Subaroo 2014, I discovered it had a head gasket issue which the vendor clearly knew about but of course neglected to mention. I knew about All Drive Subaroo from looking for panels for a Forester we had at the time. This guy lives and breathes Subarus what he doesnt know isnt worth knowing.The idea that we have a company that makes technical improvements on the original as well as offering performance Cosworth mods if required was a revelation in itself. Then we get to pricing,I took to vehicle to a Subaru dealer, they said it had a head gasket issue and would cost $5,000 to do a head gasket job. When I took the car there the price had grown to $6,000 with no itemised quote and no guarantee for work done. After Id recovered from my Cardiac arrest, I got in touch with Tomas who furnished me with 3 options all with some degree of guarantee. I opted for the stage 3 motor which was basically a new motor with unlimited kilometres guarantee and a good time period for a bit over 7k, there are other budget friendly options. This corrects known issues like oil consumption and head gasket issues with new parts and custom made solutions.When you immerse yourself in the pool there are always a few sharks. I cant recommend these guys enough and would certainly go to Tomas and the crew again. I think my next project will be similar but with a "cooking" motor. Thank you Thomas for all your help. I appreciate it very much ,.
Response from the owner: Hello Andrew,Thank you for your 5-star review!We appreciate the feedback and are glad we could provide you with a high-quality fresh engine to help get your Impreza back on the road.It has been a pleasure working with you. If you ever need any further information or support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.Thank you again.Best regards,Team ADS
Best experience with a mechanic I’ve had!Quick to get back to me after using their online form. Great communication and explained things in an easy to understand manner. They even dropped me off at the station so I could get to work on time while having the repairs done.They had the parts needed ready to go and were able to fit the repair in at short notice, had my car back within 24 hours. Price seemed reasonable too.Would definitely recommend for Subaru drivers needing servicing and repairs in Sydney Southwest area.
Response from the owner: Hello James,We appreciate the positive feedback and detailed 5-star review!Enjoy your trouble free Impreza and let us know if you need anything else!Thanks again,Team ADS
Good service and helped me out with a part that was hard to find thank you

Fantastic service. Wouldn't take my Subaru anywhere else.
Response from the owner: Hello Paul,Thank you for your glowing review! Team ADS
I’ve been running an ADS modified dual range gearbox in my Subaru rally/tar car for more than 10 years now. I had a 12kg viscous coupling installed, the box and rear diff were serviced, and both have not missed a beat from some fairly tough use. Currently in the process of looking at a 20kg upgrade for a 2nd Subaru. Thanks to ADS for their knowledge and assistance.Paul Karpathy
Response from the owner: Hello Paul,Thank you for your 5 star review, we are glad that you have enjoyed your ADS all terrain 1.44 dual range gearbox!Thank you again for the 5-star review. Team ADS
I recently had the suspension bushes on my Subaru Impreza replaced and a service completed at All Drive Subaroo. The team was extremely friendly, communicative, and took the time to explain the repairs to me in a clear and helpful way. I really appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail. I’m very pleased with the quality of the work and the overall service. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner: Hello Brian,We appreciate your taking the time to write a 5 star review.It was a pleasure to speak with you and take you through the options available for your WRX.Thank you again,Team ADS
My only regret was not getting one of ADS's stage 3 5sp gearboxes a year ago.. But when 3rd gear in my standard 'box finally decided to leave the chat, Tom, Nasi and the team at ADS had my new custom gearbox built within a week!Professional, prompt and the quality of their work is unsurpassed. The new 5sp is far better than OEM with smoother 1st-2nd shifts and a much better centre diff.Get one of their Subaru gearbox solutions into your car before the standard one dies!
Response from the owner: Hi Chris,Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review and share your experience with ADS!We're really pleased you chose our unique Hybrid Spec 3 gearbox—it's genuinely the best version of a Subaru 5-speed I've driven myself. It delivers outstanding performance and value for money, and we're glad you're enjoying it too.Thanks again for the support!—Team ADS
Absolutely worth the drive!I'm so fortunate to have found the team at All Drive Subaroo. I live over an hour away in the Illawarra, but from now on, my car will only be going to them! My Subaru needed a new gearbox, among other things that were carefully identified, and I’m incredibly grateful to have discovered ADS.From the moment I made contact, the service was impeccable. When I picked up my car today, the owner Niazi personally took the time to discuss with thr process that my car had gone through. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and made sure I left feeling confident and informed about the process.I also dealt with Rob and Tomas during the repair - both were fantastic communicators who made me feel truly looked after throughout. Communication was absolutely on point at every step.The workshop itself is big, spotless, and clearly well-maintained. You can tell straight away that this is the place that will take care of your car.If you’ve got a Subie – this is where you want to bring it.Thanks again to Niazi and the ADS boys. 👊🏼
Response from the owner: Hello Lilly,Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed 5-star review of our business.We truly appreciate the opportunity to work on your WRX and are glad to have helped get it driving the way it should.Thanks again—we look forward to seeing you again in the future.Best regards,Team ADS

Robb was so helpful regarding my Subaru recently. This company and all its employees go above and beyond to address any concerns you have about your Suburu. I highly recommend All Drive Subaroo.
Response from the owner: Hello Annette,Thank you for your 5-star review!We hope that your Forester will run well form now on.Thanks again,Team ADS
Such pleasant folk to do business with, I even got a guided tour of the factory and workshops, thanks to Tomas.Having now had a level 3 engine, installed in my 2005 Subaru forester, it has been given a new lease of life. It was a long trip from the Snowy Mountains to Peakhurst and the work done was worth every cent.I drove the renewed forester home and then went camping in the bush, it performed impeccably and was a pleasure to drive. At just short of 1000km, as instructed, I performed an oil and filter change, I have to say the oil that came out was squeaky clean as when it went in, such was the efficiency of the rebuild and the staff/mechanics at ADS.Well the success of the 2024 level 3 engine in my 2005 Forester is so great, I decided that a 2025 level 3 transmission was warranted, I saved hard and ADS did not let me down. The new gearbox and differential are outstanding. The old CUBAN girl is running like a dream, I cannot recommend ADS more highly, Naz, Tomas, Rob and Joshua saw to it, I was in and out in a day.The old Subaru is like new and performed impeccably on the long drive back to the Snowy Mountains even the power and fuel consumption were vastly betterWell done another customer who believes you exceeded expectations.Rick Carey APTC rtd

Had lodged an enquiry online last week relating to a potential transmission issue on my 08 XT.Spoke with Rob who advised me to try the throttle cleaning first and then preform a battery reset to allow the idle to relearn. He said try this first before committing to such a large job.I took his advice and it resolved my issue, turns out my transmission is fine.Honesty goes a long way and this establishment has earned that level of respect. Thank you Rob.
Response from the owner: Hello Alexander,Thank you for your 5-star review!I will let Rob our transmission expert know your delight at his advice! Thanks again,Team ADS.

Postage and handling

Australia Wide Delivery & Pick-Up

We choose to use our good friends at TNT to delivery our goods Australia wide. With very competitive rates and fast delivery times, you will be sure to have your vehicle back on the road in no time at all.

Each gearbox sent from us will contain no gearbox oil due to increased fire risks in transit.

If your new gearbox is being delivered to a residential address, please ensure there is someone home to assist the TNT driver as most TNT trucks do not have a rear tail gate lift.

The gearbox will be secured to a skid or similar and will contain a completed return consignment note for hassle free return of the exchange unit. You can simply call TNT direct or call us and we will have TNT collect the unit from your address.

For customers that purchase exchange units from us, we would request that the gearboxes are drained of gearbox oil prior to returning them.

You are welcome to arrange your own transport if you have pre-existing accounts with other carriers.

For further information please feel free to discuss your query with one of our friendly representatives.
