Soda Popinski Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Is this a steaming heap of BS? I was talking to the parts guy about SPT upgrades for my 08 LGT, and then I asked, "hey can I get all this work done here?" the guy at the parts counter nodded. I also asked "what about stage 1 tuning?" and he said it shouldn't be a problem. So... I walked over to the service manager, and asked him how much for doing the Stage1 Tuning for me. He nearly threw me out of the garrage. He got all angry and said it would immediately void my warrantee and that if they ever caught me with it installed they woud red flag my car. WTF? What gives? What's the real story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.T.Subie Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Dont' tell them it is retuned, it is hard for them to tell anyway. Just get the SPT parts from them (if you want ot over pay). Reflash it your self. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Mod the ever lovin' bejesus out of it, break it, and then go cry asking to have it fixed under warranty. SOA has every right to deny a warranty claim. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOA has every right to deny a warranty claim. I agree 100% i just know these dealers are not mod friendly. I have yet to make a claim to subaru, i prefer to fix everything myself. Also, i have no warranty left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfang Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 He is probably not well educated on how warranty and modifications work. First, Only SOA has the authority to deny a warranty claim due to abuse/mods. They also have to prove that those mods caused a failure. Now a dealer can deny warranty service and get SOA involved. Second, Modifying the ECU does increase your chances of SOA denying a warranty claim where that part is involved. Third, He can not flag a car. He can make remarks on your invoice, but SOA can annotate that in the warranty history report where every dealer can see that. You always take a chance when you play, so be ready to pay.
