Mod-friendly Dealerships
 

Anyone have experience with NorCal dealerships that are mod-friendly with light mods? Mod-friendly as in warranty is kept intact.

I'm personally interested to hear from those with previous first-hand experience with Subaru dealers specifically.

I figure the answer is on a case-by-case basis (mod and corresponding issue). But for the sake of discussion, let's consider simple mods like an axle-back exhaust or air intake.

Axle back won't void warranty. Intake is iffy sometimes, but good luck with your search.

any mod does not void warranty unless proven to be the cause of the particular issue.

dont worry about it you're fine.


if you encounter a problem make sure to put back stock parts connected to the issue before visiting the dealership

no experience with Subaru dealers yet, but for the Scion/Toyota bretheren, I've taken my modified cars to the following dealerships for service and warranty repairs and had no issues:
Dublin Toyota
Hayward Toyota
Fremont Toyota
Toyota 101 (Redwood City)

these were cars that had mods like catback exhaust, wheels, intake, suspension etc. None of them ever mentioned anything about them in a negative way.
