Thankful for service packages.
My 2021 Sport is in for oil change at 84.5K miles.
It’s throwing codes for the Thermo Control Valve.
The rear right trunk strut is leaking (again).
The seats are cracking (commonly known).
I have dealer mechanical warranty which is covering the strut. I also have dealer interior warranty which approved both seat replacements. Extended TCV issues means Subaru extended their warranty on that part to 15y/150K miles.
$100 diag, $104 oil and filter, $84 ECM update
$288 bill for all that 😎 I recently paid this car off too.
Looks like I’ll be part of the Forester sub for a good while!
Edit: I’m aware of what I paid for the packages themselves but they’re quickly starting to pay for themselves at this rate. Handling the premium as part of the monthly bill made this all easier later. Even if I did pay interest on that!
