so i guess in short, if he wants a total peace of mind, do it at the dealer. but if hes whining about savin some change, take it elsewhere - the warrenty will still be honored on those parts if something breaks. (now if those parts where INCORRECTLY INSTALLED, thats an entirely different story)

SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG HERE
You are indeed entirely incorrect.

The parts, work, labor, all of it is warranted for the life of the warranty on the car.

So for my car, since I have a 6 year warranty, my M Performance parts, including labor associated with replacing the parts, is covered until Dec 2018.

They've already had to use it, when I installed the suspension, they put the wrong springs on, and covered the labor to correct the problem....
