Reputable service in San Antonio for the J02 recall of death - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys and gals,
My car is one effected by the J02 Valvespring recall and I keep seeing a lot more horror stories than success stories, mainly dealing with Toyota Dealerships service techs and management. Techs not repairing the boxer engine properly and making it difficult for repairs after the fact.
Can anyone recommend a dealer in SA or close by that is specifically Toyota Service and has done the repair with non exploding engine results?

It would seem that all the horror stories are about Toyota doing the repair on Subaru engine.
So using that logic I would take my car to a Subaru dealership not a Toyota dealership.

This. Take it to North Park Subaru Dominion off I-10. I've always had great experience with their service shop.

Subaru cannot perform warranty work on a different manufacture car even though they are the same car... Recalls work on the VINs once they put yours and it comes up as a Scion you will be denied warranty work at Subaru unless of course you are planning to pay for it out of pocket.
