Servco Mod Friendly?
Hey guys I think I am having some wheel bearing issues and I am taking my car in to Servco to have them diagnose possibly fix any issues. Just wondering if any of you guys have had experience with them and if I should put my stock rims back on before taking it in or if they are somewhat mod friendly. Thanks for any and all input.

07LGT is probably past the warranty period no? if you are just taking it in to get looked at then it shouldn't matter if you leave your rims on or not but just remember that another person will be driving your car and bad things do happen.

The Subaru dealership is pretty good don't think they will ruin a rim lol. If you never had them work on your car don't put your 2 cents in or start rumors of damage. Even if you get your post count up your still a noob just stfu please

Ur "rims" may actually be the whole problem on why ur wheels "may" have given u a bad bearing. Now changing ur parts out to get a company to pay for ur decisions isn't right IMHO. But that's up to u. Subaru only covers stock parts. Remember u gotta pay to play.

don't go modding your car and expecting Subaru to warranty it if something breaks or prematurely wears out.

i thought that the lgt had a wheel bearing recall for the rear bearings at least? At least the 05 that I had there was an issue with the matter and is documented on legacygt.com,..Not sure if the problem was fixed for >05s though,...Id put the oem wheels back on as well,..Warranty is for 60k miles though right?

I read his post carefully and I don't think he is asking if Subaru would fix his problem under warranty. He's asking if Servco would perform any out of pocket repairs to his car despite the modifications.

I think in the long run, Subaru probably would like to fix this cheap part and save lives rather than have a wheel fly off.. I dont think that it would bode well with Subaru making the excuse stating the problems stems from putting larger rims and tires as the main cause for bearing problems since it seems to be a problem in other model years.
Also, we live on an island so Servco Subaru is all we got for dealership repair. They are not even part of Subaru of America which makes it more difficult getting warranty work done as it is up to their assessment. Ive had great parts service with Rick and more than adequate repair done (key reprogramming for a friend's car, wheel bearing replaced, fuel injector recall, fan relay recall). But basically, IMO we are at the mercy of the dealership and mostly look forward to either fixing problems myself or finding help here on the forums.
