^^ Yeah, I'm not that type. I've taken my tC to the dealership one time...for the hatch rattle. I came out of the dealership with 3 problems....hatch rattle still there, a scratch on my center console, and grease spots in my headliner. That was the first and last time I've taken it to them. And to rely on a dealership for performance is only a little sketchy for me. As mentioned 9 out of 10 of them don't even know how a tC performs.
I do all my own stuff for that reason (don't trust people to touch my car). Except for shops like PTuning who are Scion gurus. Warranty is imo overrated. People always mention warranty as a reason why they are waiting to make a modification. Think about it....it's a Toyota, do you expect to have a drivetrain failure within the next 100k miles? Not likely. So, you just waited 100k miles to put on your mod. Now you are modding a car with wear and tear on it. So, if something breaks now...who pays for it? You do still. If you put the mod on at 20k miles and something breaks....who pays for it....You still pay for it. So, you aren't avoiding cost in the long run. Difference is now you starting with more of a used up car...lol.
Warranty is great if you expect things to go wrong with your vehicle in the near future. But again, we drive cars that are built to be reliable, so not likely to break no where near the warranties effective coverage date.
I also own 2 other cars, so downtime is only bad when I'm missing my baby...hehee.
