you can take your car anywhere now to get it tuned up but if something is wrong and you have somethign around that area thats modded they wont cover it. I would take it to carlsen, kevin looked at my car when it was in and he is a good guy.

I would go to Subaru of Santa Cruz. Just let them know what you have on the car before you go. Talk to Bruce.

Yeah Im coming up on the 30k mile service, Im planning on taking it to Carlsen. If your paying for it there shouldn't be any problem at any dealership, IMHO.

Do everything yourself and save a bundle of money. It depends on what you want to do for a tune up. I can do it for you for a much smaller fee than the dealer charges. I did my own on my WRX and saved money for mods.

I need plugs, clutch adjustment, lube service, and just want to have eveything checked out. I also don't wanna do it myself because the spark plug thing is confusing mee I don't understand howw to gett to the drivers side plugs without removing a lot of stuff
