regular maintenance at dealer with a tune - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Should I flash my car back to stock before going to the dealer for regular maintenance? I have an open flash tablet.

Will you lose your left nut trying to flash it back to stock?
Will the dealer look at you in utter rage when they find out it's been tuned? Will they grab pitch forks and torches and toss your ass out?

Only you can make that call.

If it were for just an oil and filter change, I wouldn't worry about it.

Keep it as is.

What are they going to do, deny you an oil change?

I was wondering if they mess with the ECU to check anything, cause if they do that then my openflash tablet will not work anymore.

I have a 2015 FR-S with 13500 miles. UEL header, exhaust, OFT stage 2 tune. I have had all of my maintenance so far done at the dealership, and nobody has said anything about it, aside from how nice my car sounds.

Ashikabi · 02-13-2016, 09:10 AM

Just tell them you are tuned and not to fuck with anything. They can't deny you service for it. From everything I've read, it really doesn't matter what mods you have unless they were related to a warranty claim. If they look at the ecu they will see "events" recorded and know that you tuned it anyways so it doesn't matter

Yep too late man warranty will be denied for good now.
