When I bought my first Subaru
When I bought my first Subaru, the repair technicians had so much free time that they used to play frisbee in the service bays. When I got my second Subaru, 6 years, later, I could drop my car off without an appointment and get reasonably fast service. When I got my 3rd Subaru, 5 years later, I had to call for an appointment about a week in advance. 5 years later I got another Subaru and when I brought that in for service they told me I needed a new engine and the independent mechanic said all I needed was a set of spark plug wires and plugs. Subaru has a cult like following...and we know how cults end up. I'm done with Subarus for so many reasons. The gimmick of lifetime warranty is a joke because they have a deductible for each problem they find.
