I have a check engine light coming and going and problems with my clutch. I am curious where people take their cars for work. I'm looking for both good and bad stories... I wanna be sure to take it to the right shop. My car is still under warranty, but not for long.

 

any mods?

 

the cel can be from an exhaust. how bout u come out to tomorrows meet so we can read ur cel and tell u what it is. wait ur in mililani call me up i have a code scanner and i can check ur cel now if ur home. my hm# is 623 1208 hm

 

is your car stock?
your car is still under warranty, i would take it to the dealer

 

I took what I had off and put it back to stock, what dealer would you take it to. I'm looking at where I'm going to get the best service.

Shaggadelic I'll give you a call this afternoon.

 

what did u have on? an exhaust if so then thats probly y u had a cel

 

Nope, no exhaust. At least not yet. Wanted to milk the warranty as long as I could. I don't know why the light came on. I'll give you a call later and explain what's going on with it. If you can scan it, that would be great.

 

would be helpful if you let us know what kind of mods you had on the car before putting it back to stock..

 

Had a manual boost control and an EMI adapter. I don't believe that either of these caused the problem as I had them long before I had issues. Not bad problems just not running right. Where does everybody take their care when they go to the dealer?

 

I took my car to pfluegar in waipahu. Tomas took good care of me. If I had any warranty work to be done, I would go there again.

 

I'll second Shane on this... Waipahu's staff was pretty good to me and my 06 STI that was in for warranty repair work.

I don't have any mods except for (this is how it went in to them):
- Camber Bolts up front
- Falken AZENIS RT-615 tires
- Blitz Nur Spec Axle Back

They were reasonably responsive to my inquiries and requests for help
They were good at keeping me informed of the progress with my car.

 

Ive always taken mine to 5 Star... which has always been nothing but a headache.. 4 week turnaround time!!! 4 weeks my car was in there. On top of that i believe they no longer do warranty work, but are now just an automotive shop.

 

how much boost were you running?
i would take it to pfluegar subaru in waipahu.

 

Pfleuger in Waipahu seems good, after all they're the only one left..

5 star recently also stopped selling subaru parts. They just refer to "Waipahu" or the "parts distributor in town"..

 

his codes was a p0122 and a p0442
