Description of the problem	I called prestige subaru, in asheville, nc in january, 2017 and was told they did not have the part to replace the "windshield wiper motor bottom cover" at that time; they had to order the part. Okay. So i made an appointment approximately 3 weeks in advance, for thursday february 9th. A couple days before that, a lady from the service department called to say the part did not come in, so there was no need to come for the appointment; and she would call us for another appointment when it did come in. I guess i learned that it takes subaru dealers a long time to get parts, because as of march 20th, 2017, the day i write this, she nor anyone else has called to schedule another appointment. Two or three weeks passed and i phoned the service department and asked for the service manager's name and phone number. I phoned his number and had to leave a message for him to phone me back at my phone number, which he has not done to this current date. Needless to say, i will not take my car to prestige subaru for any kind of service. Excuses of, i didn't get the message, or, i lost his number, or, we have no record him calling, etc., will not substitute for honest truthfulness. Just now that i have another recall notice on another part, i will schedule an appointment at another dealership.
