The risk that a tech would botch the repair job should be borne primarily by the dealership, but secondarily by Subaru/Toyota, and in no event by the owner. Once the dealership fails to honor the mistake, the onus falls on Toyota/Subaru as the cause of the repair to either set their dealership straight and/or goodwill the repair. Subaru/Toyota can’t absolve themselves of their responsibility in this mess.
Nope. It changes nothing. If the dealership crashed you car while on a test drive after doing a repair should Toyota replace it? They wouldn't have had to do a test drive if it wasn't for the repair.
The blame is squarely in one corner here and there is no way to rationalize around that.
