    Dealers will scam you. Think I was quoted $800 or something like that.

    Take it to Allmakes.. had no problems with my wheel bearing since and I think it was about $500.

    I've only went to them once and that was for the rear wheel bearings replacement.

    What happened?

    uppipe install.. they quoted me $60 bucks, and it would be done in 2 hrs..
    so I said, are YOU sure you know what I am talking about? they said, ya ya ya.

    drop off at 8am, well 5 pm rolls around, they finally get it done.

    only charge me $60 bucks, said it was a pita (big surprise)

    get home, all the bolts/nuts on the uppipe are completely loose, weren't even tightened, the nuts ALMOST fell off on the ride home.
    soo inconclusion, I didn't get fiesty with them, seeing as it only cost me $60 bucks,, BUT I won't be goin' back, thats for sure.

    Wow.. that's nasty.. sorry to hear.

    Seems like we (Subaru's) can't seem to find a good servicing shop in Calgary.

    Wish Rally opened up in Calgary.
