Dealership Service Review
When they changed the oil in my 2015 subaru outback the service representative told me that the oil pan is leaking and it must be replaced. He also told me that the brake fluid was dirty and must to be replaced. He offered to complete the service at that time. It was 4 PM and I did not have time for that service to be completed at that time. Because he mentioned that the oil pan must be replaced, I assumed that the service must be performed as soon as possible. I drove the car home and did not drive it until I had time to take it for oil pan replacement. I made an appointment and took the car for service. When the service was completed I found that the oil was leaking from the oil pan gasket and there was no need for replacing the oil pan. When I came home I consulted with the technician who takes care of my other car. He inspected the car and told me that the gasket leak must have been very minor and it needed to be replaced but there was no urgency in doing it immediately. He also mentioned that newer cars seldom (if ever) need to have their brake fluid replaced. All and all I feel they should have told me that the gasket had to be replaced not the oil pan and changing the brake fluid was optional.
