Don't be afraid of the Dealer

I read on here all the time about people being afraid of dealers voiding their warranties because they have intakes or exhausts. your best friend, being a subaru owner should be the dealer. they have all the right special tools, the correct wiring diagrams, and FACTORY trained technicians.

Saying this, I work at Santa Monica Subaru as a technician. we will not void your warranty because you have aftermarket parts. i will take it upon myself that your car does not get blacklisted.

I want the best for your car just as much as you do. thats part of the reason why i come on the forums, to help you guys out with the little problems you do have. I frequent track event ans car meet as much as i can. i have not missed a speed trial event in the past 2 and a half years. if you have an honest concern i will do my best to help you out.

We will install anything you bring in. intakes, exhausts, springs coil-overs, front mount intercoolers, gauges, turbo kits, anything. we have a laser alignment machine. so if you get coilovers installed i can do an alignment(your specs if you want) and give you a printout. you can have the lowered agressive look without having pulling issues or excessive uneven tire wear. if you just bought a new set of wheels and tires and you want them mounted and balanced, we can do that for you too. we can do anything any aftermarket shop can do except for ecu tuning. plus you get the advantage of the dealer. we work on subarus all day every day. we know your cars inside and out. plus we have all the right parts to fix your car.

if you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask me. if you want your car looked at before you go to a track event, bring it in. any question please feel free to pm me or aim/ yahoo veniceoutside. i will try my best to help you out with your subaru. spread the word.

Thumbs up

This goes without saying @ 99% of the Suby dealers out there.

This is like the most famous 'wive's tale' of the boards. If you have after market suspension and you have the suspension break, you got a problem with a warranty repair. If you have after market suspension and your car is running rough, no problem... no connection.

Just in for routine service? Nobody cares! Our dealership wants you to enjoy your car as much as we enjoy ours, and there isn't a 'stock' Impreza in the employee parking lot!

That is what subaru recommends for synthetic motor oil. a regular oil change is $35 but one with full synthetic is $95. much more expensive.
