I am wanting to get peoples thoughts/experiences with having their car (still in the warranty period) serviced somewhere besides the dealership.
I am due for my 37.5k service and are considering changing to a specialist shop (that I have had some work done and are happy with) rather than my dealership that I have previously used (no complaints).
I am aware the specialist shop can stamp the log book and, of course, do a 'by the book' scheduled service. My only concern is that, should a warranty issue arise, the dealership may be 'difficult' due to the servicing done elsewhere.
I have had a couple of minor mods done (intake/exhaust) and would prefer a specialist to do my servicing now (use better oils etc, for example, than what my dealership uses - semi synthetic mobil for engine oil).
So was wondering if anyone would care to share their personal experiences. Where do you service your 'in warranty' subaru?
