Of course I would swing by S-Squared for any non warranty-claim related services!

I had the rear hatch struts replaced on my wagon a few weeks ago at Senator Subaru...I made an appt, they got the car right in, and it was done in an hour (sooner than expected). Easy and painless, and the service people seemed easy to work with. Other than s-squared for the 30k service, this was the only time the car's been into a shop for work.

Sorry to do this, reno_bk. I actually forgot to mention Senators shadiness and shoddy work on my car. They were involved in a big scheme with Maita to **** me and fraud Subaru.

-10 for Senator. They could not fix the problem on my wrx. They blamed it on vapor lock!
No I'm kidding. They tried to say the muffler was making the noise but it turned out to be my rear diff. I had one ordered and replaced. I had to go to Maita. THEY took care of me.
I will not buy my STI there nor any other car.

Oh, nice. Since you've started working there, I've started liking Autowest more and more and now their service dept. is going to start not sucking? SWEET. Make sure they keep the pretty girls employed

So then Tony and Scott are the ones to talk to at Autowest? Who are you ericdared81? Do you also work at autowest?

On the other hand if that same scenario were to arrise but the driver was running a stage 4 setup then yeah SOA would be in their right to deny the claim.

Yes,
The 2 former Service Managers at Maita were not very mod friendly, but you also have some idiots out there that do abuse there warranty's. We have a new serivce manager. He is very cool. We are alomost done building our stand alone Subaru Dealership next to our Hyundai Store. I just got promoted to work in our Subaru Parts Department, along with getting our performance division up and running.
We hope we can use the standard that Irvine Subaru set fourth. I will keep you guys posted and updated. We are going to work with alot of Vendors. I will also see if we can get WRC Rally Car for our Grand Opening!
Regards,
Chris
