Totally stealing this from ForesterBill on SF.org...
Looking to start a list of independent Subaru-focused repair shops that forum members recommend. The shop must primarily specialize on Subarus and not just generalize on multiple brands, although it does not have to be exclusively Subarus. Subaru dealers and service organizations are excluded from this list.
Please submit your recommendations in this thread and we’ll add it to this master list. The list will just include concise details (name and location); there may have been other comments about the service experience, so do follow the link or search the thread for these details if they matter to you. It is definitely recommended that you consult the post where the recommendation was made; if available, this is noted as (member recommendation) with a link to the post. Often, shops have strengths and weaknesses, specializations, etc. and it is best to know this in advance. However, the lack of any recommendation should not be construed as a negative; it simply means that they were inherited from SF.org and we lack that information.
The list may be updated periodically with recommendations from other Subaru forums.
As you can see there are big HOLES on locations... If you have a shop, with direct link-able info.... Please post in this thread.
If seeking recommendations, post in the main area of this sub-forum.
