Here's what I am getting at:

You didn't see or find any physical damage to the ECU, and now you are claiming that it is damaged from the tint shop.

Did you actually pull it out to inspect? Did you check fuses to make sure it's not shorted out? Or did you want to just find the next plausible cause and pin all blame on that?

Here's what Google told me when I searched for "BRZ ECU location", in case you wanted help with that.

My initial suggestion still stands: if you don't want to deal with this dealer, take up your case with another dealer. If you've gotten yourself in a situation where Subaru doesn't want to help you out, then you start putting together a timeline, collect evidence, and go from there.

Blaming the tint shop for damaging your ECU (when it could be perfectly fine to begin with) is akin to blaming the construction truck in front of you for dropping nails that caused your tires to blow out, even though the tires blew up because of a sidewall defect that you are having trouble proving. I'm not saying the tint shop isn't at fault. I'm just saying it's very difficult to believe your story when you move to place blame so suddenly without providing evidence.
