FR-S RECALL
so unfortunately i'm one of the lucky 86 owners who's car was manufactured through said date and i'm not really sure on what to do , i've heard of people taking in their 86's to the dealership and having to pay around 10k and that's pretty much worth more than what i payed for my car and i don't know what to do so i thought i would ask you guys

A recall is to correct a serious defect due to engineering or manufacturing error.
It won’t cost you anything out of pocket. It’s possible a shady dealer might take advantage of the uninformed. Be informed. |

I dont think you are familiar with the recall, or you have been lied to.

considering that they need to pull the motor out of the car to perform the recall, it's going to leave a lot of angry techs and service writers. so i would be prepared for a ghost list of things the car 'needs' before it leaves, but other then declining whatever they manage to 'find', there shouldn't be any charge.

Recall work is paid for by the mfg.
You may need to take the car to a dealer and leave it for a couple days. Depending on the dealer you may get a loan car, or have to provide your own transport while it's being done. They shouldn't be charging you for the valve spring work itself.

It's the angry customers who will need TLC and dealerships have gotten much better at that than the old days before warranty parity incentivized quality repairs and customer relations. |

that's the theory. i've met plenty of techs that despise doing warranty work because it usually pays less, and just as many service writers that hate it because it consumes a bay that multiples of shorter term jobs could be filling.
