I actually never got to that point, no dealership was willing to discuss the specifics of the repair with me over the phone and make me feel like it was worth my while to bring the car in, customer service imho broke down before they even got their hands on the car.
I decided that spending 1/2 hour driving to the dealership, sitting in their waiting room waiting for diagnosis, driving a 1/2 hour home, hopefully without a diagnosis bill in hand, waiting for them to order the part, driving back for a 1/2 hour, waiting for the repair, then driving back home again wasn't worth my time to save $120 on a part and a bit of grease under my fingernails.
No problem for me now, I learned my lesson, my car has >60k miles on it, buying a car with a warranty is a waste of money where Toyota/Subaru is concerned, I have no faith they'll stand behind their products, I'll save a few thousand bucks and buy used from here on out.
I've got two coilpacks on order right now, USPS is saying they'll be delivered tomorrow. And they've dropped the price down to ~$80 which is nice.
What was the fix? I must have missed it I haven't seen anything, care to provide a link? I'm very interested as I've sunk a bit less than $300 into coilpacks so far, it'd be nice to not have to buy any more.
With my luck they revised the part number and I got mine for cheap because they're old stock and destined to blow again.
