I'm bumping this thread up for Subaru dealerships. Anyone know a mod friendly subaru dealership in Socal? I just don't want my warranty denied instantly for having a modded car.

I've been to power cerritos for an oil change .. its mostly sweet/respective talking that lightens their moods so they're more willing .. that's how i got my 3k oil change and my next oil change ~7.5k ish
I had the clutch height modified and i havn't been hassled regarding it yet ..
They used Mobil 1 oil though :x
Don't know if they replaced the oil filter but they claimed they did ...

I'd like one that is mod friendly. 3rd to 4th shift grinds a bit at high RPM (common problem), and once a fix is established, I'd like to have it corrected without reverting back to stock. I don't want them to pop the hood, point at a turbo, and say "well that there is the problem".

I would too like to know. I have had 2nd to 3rd grinding since I bought the car. I read that it would go away but it hasn't even with changing my tranny oil. I need to find a Subaru dealership that will still look at it without me taking off everything (including supercharger).

I have a hell of a story to tell you guys after I get it resolved. I'm almost through it, but it will take another week or so.

I think this can be said about all dealerships regardless of how good their service center is but avoid the complimentary car wash like the plague unless you don't care about your paint...
