There are a few options in Perth re: servicing ur car.

I wouldn't take mine to a dealership (i used to have a bug eye sti too) The idea of some 15yr old apprentice working on my $30k car didnt sit well with me, so I'd rather take it to someone who knows Subaru's well, and I can trust.

There is heaps of info on all the various subaru workshops in Perth in threads on the forum, RMS, ASG, MMS, BlueStar, Xspeed to name a few.

With your warranty, you'd have to find out if servicing it elsewhere will void it? Chances are it would so your probably better off sticking with the car yard, or, scrap the idea of the warranty, as they are for the most part, useless, especially used car ones, and just take the car to someone you trust, especially if ur planning on doing some mods, as that will probably void ur warranty too.

As for the brandt (alarm) they can be a pain in the ass. A few people have had probelms with them, and ripped them out, and replaced with an aftermarket item, ie: Autowatch. I never had any problems personally.
