(Subaru) Dealerships don't determine if your car is covered under warranty. They can only follow the instructions they are told on their tech line.

Dealers get paid out for warranty work. In fact, they WANT the warranty work, because it fills up more hours. Lower rate or not, more work means more profit.

The problem is, if the dealer jsut does the work and SoA denies it, then the dealer has to eat the cost.

Then there's the fact that SO MANY people try to say their car was not modded when it clearly was, and try to pull a fast one.

Dealerships are not stupid, but they will also protect themselves. They'd rather turn you away and lose a customer, than to deal with a nightmare.
