Been to several and didn't have a good experience. One trip to a local mechanic to replace the radiator came back with a list of problems. No problems were noted by Subaru. Mind you, the radiator was replaced twice by Subaru. CEL with error codes P0011 (regularly) and P0021 (once) just had the ECU reset. Info on this forum pointed to replacing the OCVs. Cracked CV boots were missed. I can go on.

Did you buy the extended warranty on a second hand car? Sounds similar to what I did. I have to admit, it paid for itself having had some work done under the extended warranty. But, never again. About two years into the three year period I started doing the work myself or at my local mechanic.
Find yourself a mechanic known for Subarus or take it to your regular mechanic. If you can do preventative maintenance yourself. They'll look after it better.
Just my opinion and experience had at the dealership.
