Default Warranty claim

Can you have a different garage fix a fault under warranty to the one where you bought the car? My rear shocks have gone for the second time in under 2 years and I would prefer to take the car back to a different dealer who is closer to where I live.

i bought my car 150 miles from my house and i had a mechanical fault repaired by my local delaer who is 10 miles away (i wanted a particular colour so i travelled to get it)

Just explain that its too far for you travel etc.

There is a modified strut mounting available from Subaru which prevents this from re-occuring. Insist these are used so as the problem does not re-occur bearing in mind your warrantly will run out soonish.

Had mine done last week and top mounts do indeed need replacing also.
