This review is both for Centaur Subaru and Subaru ...

This review is both for Centaur Subaru and Subaru of Canada as neither seem to be willing to do the right thing.

Let me start off by saying that the sales and finance staff were quite good. Dan was my sales guy and was quite knowledgeable and quick to answer questions and assist with the buying process. That's where the good news stops. Roughly two months after I purchased my 15' WRX the "Check Engine Oil" light came on. Thinking this was strange I brought it in for service and was told to monitor the oil level which is fine. After this the car seemed to run a little rough. Drove to Edmonton and the "Check Engine" light was flashing and the power seemed to be lacking. Brought it in once again and was told that there was an issue with a by-pass valve, or something along those lines, which caused my turbo to shatter in to a thousand pieces, The last part is verbatim from the tech. They replaced the turbo and assured me that would be the last of it. A couple days later I noticed a bolt on my garage floor which was kind of worrying. Upset I called in and said the car was running rough and they had also not properly tightened a bolt. Brought it in for service again and was informed that there was indeed a major issue and Subaru would be replacing the entire short block as the one I had was toast. The tech also admitted that he didn't think replacing the turbo had actually solving the true issue. Again, quite frustrating. Makes you wonder why they wouldn't try to actually fix the problem. New engine went in, ran fine for the first 5K KMs then it seemed to run a little rough here and there. When it was warm it would run rough after driving for 10-15 minutes. Not wanting to waste my time and get the run around again I figured I'd wait until something major happened so they wouldn't say everything was fine or to just monitor it. Took it in for an oil change yesterday and also asked them to see if it ran rough and also to do a recall that Subaru of Canada had sent me. Was left a rather condescending voicemail saying the oil change was done, the car ran perfectly, and my car doesn't have a sub so doesn't fall under the recall. As far as the sub goes I'm quite sure the picture from Subaru of Canada's website saying that's the sub, and the one from my car are the same so it seems a little odd that they told me I don't have a sub. TL:DR This dealership is either lazy or incompetent and between them and Subaru Canada this might be my last Subaru, which is unfortunate as my last Subaru was amazing.
