Ok as most everyone knows my car is in the Kaneohe Subaru dealership getting fixed. My car has now been there two weeks. The parts that Keith ordered just arrived on Tuesday, and I thought I was going to get my car back yesterday. I didn't and here is the reason why as I know so far:

Keith said that they either put in the wrong part, or they didn't put it in correctly. I guess when they put it in the clutch petal was hard as a rock and stuck in the full up position.

Okay so everyone I've talked to said this is a 4 hour job, so what is taking them so long there. I understand that there were some cars that had been there longer than mine had, but I believe that they were all taken care of now. So four hours to take out the transmission, put in the new clutch, flywheel, etc. and the put the transmission back in. Is that correct, or does it really take longer than that. Kaneohe Subaru has already had half the job done for over a week, they have had the transmission out, and all the bad parts out. so it should only take about half the time to do this. I figure that 4 hours is about what they figured on the time also because the labor costs of about $400 would work out to a little over 4 hours. Next, how when you are a "professional" do you put parts in wrong? or not check to make sure that you have the right parts before you put them in??? I am getting frustrated, because I really need a car, and not only does this dealership not have a loner car (which is complete bs) I cannot rent a car because I am only 20.

So what does everyone think about this?

 

by not listening to the advice I and others gave you (take your car to Waipahu and talk to Braun or Ed). Now you will probably pay a hefty price for half-@$$ work.

Well it is not that I didn't take your advise. I wanted to, but I couldn't. I have no way to get my car to Waipahu, actually I don't even know where Waipahu is! Even if I could get my car out there, I would not be able to pick it up because I would have no way to get there. I am at an extreme disadvantage due to my age, and location.

 

but it doesn't sound like they know what they're doing by what you're describing. I've had good luck with Braun and Ed, that's why I recommended them. Sorry to hear you're still having trouble.

 

doesn't look like we can really help you with anything

sorry, hope things turn out well for you.
