Easier to replace small plastic moldings than the whole panel if damaged.

Yup. They whooped everyone in the nation last year too.

Unfortunately, there isn’t. That’s an issue you’re going to have to get diagnosed.

Your check engine light is likely from a P0420 Catalyst Efficiency code. Good news for you: Subaru has a recall that affects your year and comes with a free cat replacement & diagnosis on what caused it.

As a Subaru tech with access to the sales numbers, I can safely say that Heuberger sold 1000 more Subarus than the second place dealership so far this year.

Get ready. Eyesight is coming to the 16 WRX as well.

If they’re adamant about keeping the record, then they are adamant about keeping FWD. Sucks.

No, it was just straight up bad. That third row might as well not have been there, it was so useless.

Ironically, ÀSCENT is the name for Subaru’s incentive program for technicians and sales.

I like to think you made this as an argument for the Japanese making large robot armies. And I very much approve.

Even though they test for it in my state, the porters at my dealership still can’t seem to parallel park to save their lives.

The sad part is that the state can still force you to go to a referee to make sure the car isn’t swapped. If you have an engine that is intended for that application, you’re good. But, for example, if you have a LS swap, they are now allowed to get you.

The requirement for a visual inspection is to have everything in its original configuration. Functional tests apply to all cars 95 and older. The amount of emissions allowed varies from car to car, and we go off percentages and parts per million.

As someone who is slated to take the BAR Smog Exam to attain a smog license later this year, Doug is only scratching the surface of our draconian emissions regulations. But anyone questioning whether we need emissions regulations should go look at pictures of LA in the 60s.

Alas, if only I had vacation time saved up.

If I start now, the Greyhound from California should be there by next weekend.

Affordable train line from LA to Vegas? Every. Damn. Weekend.

You don’t need to bring it to a shop to defeat wheel locks. I’ve had to break off wheel locks on cars where the customer had lost the wheel lock key. Quick, simple, and cheap. Locks will only deter the most casual wheel thieves.

Yeah, you should be able to just drive off the surface rust. They just wanted the upsell and he probably just wanted the noise gone ASAP. But, I've learned that nothing is impossible in this industry as well...

Usually yes, you can just drive it off. However, I work as a tech in Sunny Southern California, and we've had cars in the lot rust their rotors in just 3 weeks. It takes the perfect storm to do so in SoCal but I have a feeling Florida is a little more unforgiving.
