Anyone service their BRZ at Toyota/Scion

Hello - i tried searching to no avail and would like to know if anyone has their BRZ serviced or prefers service at Toyota/Scion opposed to Subaru?

I ask this because my previous car, '06 Suby LGT, i exclusively serviced at Subaru and when things began to go wrong the dealer's service dept. was unfathomably unintelligent. Yes this could be dealer specific i realize, yet has left a bad taste if ya know what i mean...

I have more faith in Toyota service at the moment yet am more interested in the BRZ limited.

Wait for the next limited run FRS, it will have probably the same or at least most of the limited features and can be taken to scion. I doubt they would service a BRZ. Have you called a Scion service department to ask?

I haven't...good point i could ask...

With a new potential limited Frs you mention i am really all set with the pure price garbage...

I suppose all warranty work would, if required, have to be done at Subaru? Even though they're virtually the same car?

I didn't even think about this, but it would be nice as the Toyota dealer is a lot closer to my house.

Exactly. I have a friend at the Toyota service who stated that they would so I will be servicing the BRZ as soon as my free service runs out unless it's warranty work.
