Where'd you guys get your service done?

I recently got a letter from Scion for replacing my ECU. I also plan on getting my fuel pump replaced for the squeeking too.

Just wondering if anyone knows a good service center.

The one I got my car from, 335 Toyota in Rockville, MD, sucks. When I took my car there for the 1000 mile check, the guy "taking care" of my car was revving the engine around when he drove it back up to me, and also I noticed 2 weeks later when washing my car that there was a scratch left corner of my bumper, as if someone turned too close to a wall. Which I know wasn't me...since I'm the only one driving it and sure as hell didn't do it.

Anyway, I'm scared of service centers as a result. Anyone know a good one in the Maryland/Northern VA area?

I know that Heritage Subaru in Owings Mills has experience with anything cel/ecu related. they did my repairs. Now over 5K with no idle dip after ecu flash.

I also bought mine at Heritage. I work across the street from Jones dealerships and won't even let Jones change the oil in our Tc. I have strong feelings about that place.

Damn I did my ECU reflash service at 355. Didn't have any issues, but I'll avoid them from now on.

O boy, well I'll be hitting 7500 miles this weekend. Took a while because I only drive about 100-200 miles for pleasure every weekend and metro to work on weekdays.

I feel nervous, like dropping a kid off the first day of school...though I dont have any kids...

My car is at Koons Tysons getting the reflash now, along with fuel pump and hopefully will fix the creaky rear package shelf (per Subaru TSB). They did my first oil change, no problems. Aria M is my service guy.
