While at the dealership,I finally got the valve springs recall done,along with some other maintenance issues. All gaskets were replaced,along with drive belt and spark plugs. They did quite bit of work,but they tried to charge me for a cabin air filter,which I declined,of course,and someone swiped my snow brush out of my car. Went back yesterday and they gave me a new brush for free.


In all,just over $1700. My car will hit 120k miles probably this week. I've had it since 19k miles,in 2015,so for it to finally start having any real issues is a testament to how well Subaru(mine is a FR-S,but you know) vehicles are made.
I'll be praying for you...
Feels good to get maintenance stuff sorted out though. I don't think enough people appreciate mundane maintenance, it's like mods but for longevity and peace of mind.
