Dude, like I said, call the 800 number and kau inoa, I mean, place your VIN with Subaru. They'll take care of you

The local Servco Dealerships do not go through SOA, Toyota of America, Lexus or any of the american distributors. Servco uses their own distributor.

I found this out the hard way.

Try dealing with Servco Lexus for warranty issues. You will get the run around like nothing I have ever seen. They dont have to answer to anyone but themselves.

When my wrx was less than 5 years old, with only 38,000 miles Servco would not warranty my engine that spun a bearing...the only thing aftermarket was exhaust and springs.

I have worked at multiple dealerships, and an engine with that low of miles is always replaced for free. It is called standing behind what you sell. I have personally replaced low mileage engines that were way past the time limitations for warranty. Yes it may cost the dealer and distibutor a little, but not as much as loosing a customer for life.

I will personally never make a purchase at the local Lexus dealer ever again, and this is over a faulty strut cap that they wouldnt replace (calling it a wear item such as a belt or wiper blade)...while the vehicle had a $2000 certified used lexus warranty. And they also wanted a **** load for a window switch, while under the same warranty (that clearly stated that electrical was covedred, Servco called it a trim peice and wanted twice retail price for it). Their customer service quality is nothing close to what is to be expected from Lexus. They and lied to me, thinking I knew nothing about cars because I came in in my business atire. Funny, because I know as much or more than their best technician.

funny...I had no problems with getting Servco to warranty my Scion Xb when I had an emissions issue. crazy thing to is I had like less than a month left before my warranty ran out. same thing goes with Servco Subaru. I went in to have my seat belts on my GC replaced and they had no issues in doing so and my GC is 01 waaaaay past its warranty. I guess its the luck of the draw.

anyhow lets stay on topic here.
