    Saab doesn't sell a trailer hitch for the Saabaru, and I wanted the Real Deal(tm) for the plug-in niceness, so I purchased the Subaru kit from Subaru of Gwinnett a month or so ago. What's more, they gave me a 10% discount just for mentioning WRX Atlanta. Alas, the wiring lit itself on fire a couple of weeks ago (http://saab92x.com/viewtopic.php?id=19521). The trailer checks out okay, and the car doesn't have any problems, so I brought the burned-up wiring harness in to attempt a warranty replacement.

    I talked with Neil and Summer and they were very helpful in trying to get the part replaced as they realize that, in every way except the exterior, my 9-2X Aero is exactly the same as a WRX Wagon. I left the part with them, with the understanding that they'd try to make things work for me.

    When I called back just a few minutes ago, they informed me that they couldn't warranty the part since it had been installed on a Saab because SoA wouldn't reimburse them. I asked Summer who the best person to talk to in order to escalate the issue would be, and she put me on hold. After a few minutes waiting, she got back on the phone and happily informed me that they would make a "goodwill" exception this time, and that I could come pick up the new harness on Monday!

    Just thought I'd share a good result. I like that place more and more every time I go there. :)

    SoG sales department sucks, never dealt with service but their Parts department is one of the best.

    Casey and I walked into the showroom, walked around for 5 minutes to get a sales rep to talk to, I even said it a loud "where are the sale reps, this place sucks" next to a gentleman and he totally ignores me. Walked up to the receptionist demanding a sales rep and she pointed out the guy standing next to me was indeed a sales rep. I have no clue wtf they were thinking...

    SoG= Parts only IMO

    They probably didn't notice the fact that you two arrived in nice new Impreza's with one of you wanting to trade in. Salesman are quite stupid.

    I thought their style was not to hassel the buyer. You need to approach them. Like Saturn.

    i called last weekend looking for the key for the lung nut locks they sold me on the car. the key broke changing to my auto-x wheels, so called to see if they stocked them. it was 4:05. "Sorry the parts department is closed." so i asked to talk to a manager to see if they could just look, so i could race. the sales manager gets on the phone and after i explain my situation, he tells me this, "i'm sorry sir, but i don't even know how the wheel locks work." i ask, "aren't you a manager at a car place?" "sir, i'm the manager of sales, not parts." so i told him he needs to go out side and lock at every car he's selling, because there's a wheel lock on the car and better learn how a lung nut works before he sell another car.
    Fuckers! i hate them!
