SAFETY SCAM ALERT My biggest concern with East Hills Subaru of Sayville is SAFETY. I brought my vehicle in for an active passenger seatbelt/SRS airbag issue. After paying for work on this safety system, Subaru of Sayville is SAFETY. I brought my vehicle in for an active passenger seatbelt/SRS airbag issue. After paying for work on this safety system, I left with the same problem unresolved, including the constant seatbelt chime and an SRS system that may not operate properly in a collision. I had already received a professional diagnosis using factory-standard diagnostic equipment and provided East Hills with the fault codes. They wanted another $300 diagnostic fee, which I declined. I paid East Hills to perform the complete work and applicable Subaru factory procedures associated with replacing the seatbelt receptacle—not simply install a part and clear a code. Most concerning, their own technician states in the service video that replacing the receptacle DID NOT resolve the problem. The technician does not mention performing the applicable SRS/occupant-detection re-zero calibration, and neither does my receipt. Yet the paperwork states the repair was completed to factory-standard satisfaction and that the vehicle was test-driven, despite the odometer not changing. When I asked for documentation confirming the re-zero calibration was performed, they could not provide it. The same warnings and fault codes remained, and I was told I would have to pay another $300 diagnostic fee, even if the issue involved the work I had just paid for. All I wanted was documentation showing the complete repair and applicable factory procedures were performed. Instead, my calls and emails eventually went unanswered. I paid for a safety-related repair, their own technician acknowledged the problem remained, and I still cannot get documentation confirming the questioned calibration was performed. Based on my experience, I would not trust East Hills Subaru of Sayville with another repair and will not return. More
