Yes, Subaru can't force you to get the work done at the dealer. The only thing you need to go to them for is warranty work. Just be sure to save all the receipts and document mileage.
Would you let a trusted mechanic do the first (3750) maintenance/checkup?
I know I can wait until 7500 miles as we haven't operated under extreme conditions, but I'd like to get the first service done with. I bought the car at a dealership further away from home than I'd like to go to to get service done, so I called the local dealer yesterday (and e-mailed them) to set up an appointment and they haven't bothered to call me back (more than 26 hours later as of now). I do have an appointment at the next closest dealer, but it's still a bit of a shlep.
I have a very trusted mechanic about 1/4 mile from home. Can they do the same work without voiding the warranty?
If the first trip should be to a dealer, can I take it to my guy for future regular maintenance?
Many thanks!
