Your better off finding a tuner mechanic shop than the dealership.
Prices are better too, Just say'n

I heard Timmons Subaru is cool and supportive of the aftermarket scene. Some of the mechanics at Subaru Pacific in Manhattan Beach are tuners themselves. They have to be careful because they don't want to do any mods that would void a warranty, leaving them open to law suits.

What are you trying to get done?
I agree with @Mr.ac ... just go to local tuner shop.

I recommend Auto Tuned in Monrovia.
They are right across from Irwindale Speedway.

Seeing that you have a new car and you're probably talking about new car services alongside with services for warranty, there's no real dealership that is "mod friendly".

At McKenna Subaru, some of the techs there are okay with working on modified cars, but if an issue arises and it's due to possible mods, they'll deny warranty, just like any other dealership.

Whenever you go to a dealership, they notate what modifications you have on the car prior to service as well. That's what happened to my car at a Toyota dealership anyways.

If you're worried about the oil changes and etc, most Subaru dealerships will honor the oil changes and checkups.

Basically, if all you care about is oil changes and regular service things, you'll be fine. If you're worried about Warranty things and if shit goes wrong, it'll be better to go to a tuner shop if your car is heavily modified.

yeah i have taken my scion to Toyota of Kearny Mesa (san diego) where i bought it, until i lowered the car so much it wouldn't get up the service driveway anymore.

been taking it to mission gorge Toyota ever since and the driveway is SUPER flat.

both dealerships had no problem changing my oil.
Kearny actually effed up my ebrake pretty bad (it was locking up on the freeway almost got me killed) and they fixed it no questions asked. obviously.
