Like I needed a replacement battery since mine was completely shot, I had HIDs on, which is a no no for warranty work and they said next time take them off before I come in. A great group of guys there is all I can say. haha
looks like im headed to putman subaru next!

If they fu$% anything up, tell them you know they did it and if they don't replace or fix it, document everything. I would even put your cell phone on voice memo anytime you talk to a service rep. Also, work nicely with SOA in Jersey, they will middle man the warranty claim for you, especially if your getting dicked around.

SOA pays the dealer for the warranty work and parts and the dealer sometimes or always is under payed for the job, unfortunately for the consumer, us.

After a month, SOA will call to confirm everything is good. Don't answer and send an email describing all the trouble and time without the car and how you deserve a Gold Plus Warranty extension for free. In most cases, you'll get it...I did.

Btw, my third gear grinds a little when I am in the higher RPMs. Noting, I always wait for the "syncro gate" (<---- the best I can describe it) to open before letting the stick drop into the gear. But even being hella nice, a get a little grind that started a couple months ago.

Lastly, my tranny is slow leaking out of the inner LH side CV....wonderful.
