I called Subaru to check on an oil leak on my 1998 - gbangham
I called Subaru to check on an oil leak on my 1998 Forester. I bought this car from this Dealer new and have maintained it very well with another service facility. (another story) Calvin asked a few questions and after waiting for a while (free special coffee) took me to the car on the hoist with the mechanic. They showed me the leak was from the power steering assembly and both Calvin and the mechanic explained in detail, various options for repair.as parts for this year were no longer stocked. The mechanic said he has seen 3rd party assemblies being used but they still leaked and wouldn't recommend that route. The mechanic also put the quart of steering fluid he used into a box for me to use. Calvin further checked with Japan and other possible sources. I told Calvin that it seems that it hardly leaked, only maybe a drop a day? onto a piece of cardboard and only after the car had been running. But I want zero issues and always fix whatever comes up. Calvin said come back again after more miles and we'll look at it again. Calvin sat with me later and talked more about my issues, car value etc. And, as I was leaving, he came out to my car and showed me where to add the steering fluid and the levels on the dip stick for hot and cold.
The point I want to make is that I have never had service people take the time to treat me with such personal care.
