Need advice on dealer mechanic prices
I dropped off the car at a Subaru dealer last night to get the clutch checked since it has been making a squealing noise when it’s pressed. You can hear it in and out of the car. Other than that everything seems fine. It’s a 2015 Series.Blue that I bought about 10 months ago when it had just under 29k miles and it’s been making this noise probably since December but when it started it wasn't every day or as noticeable as it is now.
Dealer just called me and said warranty expired in January, and it’ll cost me $1200-1800 depending on if they need to change the pressure plate and or flywheel or anything else while they’re in there. And the guy told me it’s not covered under the powertrain warranty, that he’s done this before. Just to diagnose it they have to take out he transmission which will run me about $400. Should I go with the dealer or find another mechanic? How does that price sound? And assuming the clutch is fine and it’s just the clutch fork making the noise shouldn’t that be covered by the 6 year warranty?
