To each their own.
As I said, I'm all in on the not doing it unless you have to. In fact, as I've pointed out before, Toyota/Subaru both (at least in the recall) say they will cover the cost of repairing it if it fails, so you've got that going for you.

As far as who does the work, there were failures on both sides, and not nearly a high percentage as it "feels like" from reading this forum. The mechanics all received training on this specific repair, and they had to be of a certain skill level. If you do have to have it done, ask questions, and you should get a good result.

By the way, unless you pay for it out of pocket, Subaru won't do the repair on a Toyota as they won't get reimbursed for it.
