the sad part, is i have a vendetta here.
mother in law, had a subaru. purchased OEM, brand new. issues from day 2. subaru dealerships sucks azz.
so, fast forward 3 years. she got service from a goodwrench dealer. some azz tech put a leak sealer in her SUV (for no reason). she overheated @ a month later...and blew up the suv on the highway. she didn't watch gauges. i would cut that dude.
long story short, i know a TON of car mechanics. best price i got for a boxer engine gasket kit and rebuild, was $4800.00.
needless to say, i purchased her a used honda crv for $3500. i can do a head gasket in that engine blindfolded.
so screw you, subaru.
