Whats the best Subaru dealer to have warranty work done? - Page 2 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Welsh Subaru isnt bad but not great. One week after I bought my used WRX, I took it back because the clutch and tranny were running like shizznit. After two weeks of them "working" on my wrx, they called me to pick it up. I signed the papers, got in the car and pushed the clutch in. One problem, the clutch pedal depressed with no resistance. I drove it around the parking lot, couldnt get 2nd or 3rd gear. Needless to say, I flipped out on the service guy inside, who I found out later was the dealership owner, because there is no way the techs parked it outside not knowing something was very wrong with the clutch/tranny. Week and a half later, I got my car back with no problems and a new armrest extention, as if that was their "we're sorry" gift or something. But I did get to sport a PIMP Ford Taurus rental car for the two and a half weeks!

Other then this ordeal, they didnt have any problems in giving the go ahead to replace the clutch and tranny at the start, unlike alot of dealers.

Now that my warranty is up, would I go back to them for service? Hell no.

I had the same problem. A&T subaru replaced mine no problems. I had to wait about a week for part to come in but othter than that no issues. Im not putting burned CD's in anymore just in case. I used to. I also heard that if you leave CD's in the stock unit without using it that that can hurt it.
