I’m not having very good luck with this STI...

Well, after a vacation a while back, I took my car to Corpus Christi Subaru, since my car !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from a gas pump in the area.

And today, I got her back! But I also hate Corpus Christi Subaru. Let me go over what happened in a bullet-point form, since I’m lazy today.

The only repair needed was a fuel system flush. Ended up having to pay $650. $650 freakin’ bucks for a dude to suck liquid out.

I ask the service adviser if the gas tank is full when I pick up the car. He says, “of course!” in his best customer service tone. But, I get to the car, and I have 60 miles in range according to the computer. I drive to the nearest gas station to fill up the gas.

To top THAT off, I turned in the car with 2046 miles, give or take like 2. I get it back with 2058. If I remember correctly, they were flushing the fuel, not test driving 10 miles.

I get home after a 3 hours of driving and notice something unusual on the rear quarter area.

There are about 5 lines of scratches next to each other, and the same on the taillight.

So, I’m gonna be straight up. I’m pissed and I can’t wait to call in and give them a piece of my mind tomorrow when they open up, and they better pay for the damages. Its a 2015 dammit.

OH RIGHT. So the PSA here is, “Friends don’t let friends go to Corpus Christi Subaru for service”

This is why you always do a “walk-around” before you drive off. I’ll be shocked if they actually fix that damage for you at this point.

Sorry man, that sucks!

I would think they’d need to drive it a little with regards to fuel problems, but the scratches suck and will be hard to prove unless you brought it to their attention before you left. Flat out sucks, man.

This. Anything relating to the fuel system I’d say 10 miles is just fine. That said the scratches are bullshit. Unfortunately since you’ve taken it home already it may be a fight to get them to repair them

in all fairness , the miles put on is fair.

they obviously took it out the road to make sure it was good to go.

i see no problems with that , hopefully they gave it a good thrashing.
