Not sure on the process that Subaru goes through, but I called around different Toyota dealerships and some said they have to order parts and others said they stocked parts for things that can fail from the recall. I would be less concerned for Subaru owners since they are doing so many of the same recall, tossing in a BRZ is no sweat since they are doing tons of their cars. Still I would still advise traveling to a better dealership vs going to a mediocre close one. I would be concerned with the Subaru dealer you mentioned, being back ordered on parts and having a long que is understandable considering how many of their vehicles are affected. However the taking 5 days to do the service and multiple test drives is a red flag. It should be two 10-15 min test drives one before and one after. The work shouldn't take that long and it means the mechanic isn't comfortable enough to knock it out confidently and efficiently in a day or two. I would be weary of that dealership. |

The other Subaru models that are impacted by the Valve Spring recall have a different parts list and do not require the front cover to be removed. |

I didn't know that. More reason to be cautious and thoroughly go through those steps. I think that gives the best chance of a problem free recall procedure. |

The service manager at the knows me well, texted me the day it was official and was like guessing we won't be seeing you're car for a couple months on this recall? I was debating even waiting until next year as nothing is leaking on mine yet. Figure, may as well leave it sealed nicely. |
