dealer will drop the warranty if you change some regular stuff ?
 
guys im new here

i was at a dealer this week and ive asked about the brz
about the warranty and all these regular thing

the salesman say the service is every 5000km and he say the warranty will drop if i change the oil in other place !!!!!!

also the brz does not come with a navi screen so i asked if i change the head unit and put an aftermarket like kenwood head unit, but he say also the warranty will drop if i change it ???????!!!!!!!

ok what about the speakers what if i change it to some high quality speakers also he say the warranty will be drop !!!!!!!!

is that ok ? do you guys have the samething ?

Read this. The salesman doesn't know what he is talking about and he's trying to scare you into spenind more money at his dealership. How can changing your oil somewhere else void your warranty. Changing the radio will not void the whole car warranty. Neither does changing the speakers.
He's not in the US so I doubt that act will mean anything to him.

In America, if you bring some donuts to the dealership, they will take care of you.

idk how it works in other countries, but logically they can't take away your warranty because you took it elsewhere. that sounds like a law suit waiting to happen.

my car has seen the 1000km oil change at the dubai stealership.i Bought this car to enjoy it and tune it so yeah they can keep the warranty for them selves

I'd rather have my warranty voided versus pissing off the owner of the country.

thanks guys for all the reply
but is that ok to change the oil every 5000km !
because everyday im doing long trip and that will finish fast !
that way i want to change oil in other place instead of going to dealer every time

isn't it in the owner manual that say the service every 10000km ?

and one more question guys
does Subaru fix all the problems in brz build on 2013/sep ?
like gearbox or oil lacking from the triangle plate
or better to wait for 2014 build ?

5000km is definitely more often than is necessary (unless you're driving on the track all the time).

  1. does Subaru fix all the problems in brz build on 2013/sep ?
  2. like gearbox or oil lacking from the triangle plate
  3. or better to wait for 2014 build ?
  1. No. All the same problems still exist, albeit with less occurances
  2. As far as I'm aware, it's still an ongoing issue. It's easy enough to fix it yourself, though.
  3. Get whatever pleases you. I'm not sure if the UAE gets the same upgrades as the USA cars, but if they did, then the only real difference between the 2013 and 2014 is the headunit.
