Just taking the quote for the work buy itself $2,300 is pretty steep. I've seen $1,600 tops for valve adjustment on the car, $800 at the low end. I don't think the valve adjustment will fix the issues, although you may still need to do it anyway...
On the other stuff it sounds like they are not doing proper diagnosis to start with. The problem may be something mechanical beyond the valves.

Try another Dealer shop or an independent tech who specializes in Subarus. |

Time for a second opinion rkjunior. Sounds like they wanna jump right into the heavy work and hope for the best. Ive seem it too many times before, stealership cant really narrow it down without major diag time so they shoot you a figure that they hope scares you away so your prob becomes someone elses. Ill bet if they were hurting for business, theyd figure it out for you real quick.

Thanks guys. I plan on taking it to another local dealer and talking to the service manager directly. I want to explain my situation and history, and see what they say. At this point, while the SAS Gold has expired, I believe this still should be covered as the P0304 goes back to the end of March and has yet to be resolved. I think my biggest issue is showing this to another service shop and having them agree with me.

Yeah, I got rid of the car after the P0304 never came back after a month of driving.
