I absolutely will. I think this dealership was competent. I never wanted to get the valve springs done early on because I didn't trust Toyota techs working on my boxer engine.I think they've been doing enough of them now that I think they know what they're doing.


I did called my local Subaru dealership early on and they said that they wouldn't work on my FR-S,which I thought was very odd,considering that even though it has Scion badges,those badges,and almost every single part is stamped with Fuji Heavy Industries on it.


Anyway,been driving it for just under a week now and everything seems like it's back to nomal.It's a daily driver and I don't really push it too hard,so I'm not too worried.

Well, in the end, this didn't matter. The gasket design was unique, and Toyota actually had more of them than Subaru since Toyota sold more of the "offending" ones.

Yes, there were a handful that had issues, but for the most part nearly all were done correctly.

I had mine done for the same reason you stated, it provided an opportunity to have other labor covered. I had several things done (spark plug replacement, etc) for the cost of parts since they were already doing the work.

That makes much more sense, thanks
