Every BRZ purchase in Cali comes with it according to the sales manager. Nothing else was added onto the pricing sheet.

Um I'm pretty sure you do. A lot of dealers are not telling people that buy the car they get the free 2 year maintenance. It was not added to my price, and there are a lot of people here that can vouch for that. Call another Subaru dealer besides yours and ask their service department. Call up and say you want to come in for you free complimentary oil change.

As a matter of fact I bought my car at one dealer, called me local dealer and asked if I can get the free change there. They said no problem. Dealers are sometimes very shady.

Hey OP if you get a chance and ask the dealer about this please tell us what they say.

Yep. My internet sales manager also mentioned it when I first contacted the dealers. Don't remember what he said, but he did say something like it only works in California.

I did get a free complimentary oil change for my first one but they tried to make me buy it at first and I wasn't having it since I thought the first one is free. Anyways it's probably because I bought mine in Colorado.

As soon as it's driven off the lot it WILL get hit with rocks. Hell mine has less than 500 miles and I already have two rock chips on the hood and one irritating chip in the windshield.

Subaru advertises the car as coming with a 2 year oil change and service for free. Every dealer has to honor this if you press them.

One thing I would do before I leave the dealer is find a service rep that knows these head units (they are in three Subaru models) My dealer (Sewell Subaru of Dallas) set a lot of the internal settings like automatic volume restoration level and also the voice volume on the Navigation is different than the standard volume. A good rep can go through these things and set them to your preference and it gives you a pre-look at acessing the deeper menu items and give you a headstart on how to fine tune it later to our own discretion and you will have an easier time than starting from scratch in the manual and even give you a head start on your own exploration of the inner settings. And if you add on pre-wired Subwoofer kit from Subaru or OEM you need to set the fader to the back just a bit to stop the bass for being overpowering.(Which I had to figure out on my own) Form there you just use the EQ 5 setting to make quick adjustments to music coming from different sources (Sirius/HD Radio/USB mp3 files and such as they all differ somewhat).

^ My dealer was trying to give me a lesson on all these stuff. I told them to please give me my key so I can drive it asap.

After couple days of picking up the car, I played with the navis and other stuff and figured it out.

My dealer never offered free oil changes. They told me oil changes would cost $100 plus because they were promoting this Krex additive. If I let them do this they would warranty the engine to 200,000 miles.

After a short amount of research, I realized this was a scam. Even if it was free I wouldn't let them do it. I want to choose my own oil and don't want scam additive in my car.

Any link or other info on Subaru advertising the free 2 year service? Planning on buying one next week and would like some evidence to back me up if they deny this.
