.....compared to the scheduled maintenance work that is specified in the
manual.
When I go to the dealer they have "maintenance packages" that don't exactly
match that is which is specified in the manual.
I'm not just talking about Subaru dealers, but dealers in general. If I go
to the dealer and say "I would like the (for example) " 18 month service"" I
get whatever the dealer packaged for the18 month service, not necessarily
what the book says needs to be done. Is my warranty still valid if the
dealer does less than the book says should be done at the specified
mileage/time period?

Your car came with a maintenance schedule. If you pull that out when you
drop it off and specify what you want you'll be sure to stay within the
boundaries of your warranty and give the car what it needs. Get the dealer
or mechanic to initial the schedule and check off what they did.

I would assume that any work done by the dealer will not void the
warranty. However, if it were me, I would ask them to perform a
certain service, doing EVERYTHING required and ONLY what is required.
nothing additional. You have to understand that most dealerships make
most of their money on service work (and to a lesser extent, used car
sales) these days, not on selling new cars. So, they are trying to get
you to do additional things whenever they have you in there. They are
independent businesses.
