15K service due soon - where to take my WRX?

I'm looking for a reputable place to take my '06 WRX for its 15K service.
I live and work in Oakland and don't wish to use the dealership.

Thanks.

Isn't 15K just an oil change and tire rotation? All other items are just inspections. I'm taking my car in for it's 30K service to LIC next Wednesday.

Drive the extra 20-25 minutes to LIC. It's worth the trip and very reasonable prices for the amount of attention your car gets.

i agree, plus you always end up ahead. They find or fix something for free pretty much everytime i go there.

LIC has a good group of guys and I trust their work. But if you don't feel like driving I'll drive to you and do the service in your garage. I'm a technician that just got laid off and wouldn't mind making some cash (gotta pay the suby and my mortgage). I charge roughly half of what the dealership charges.

can't beat LIC. they are Gods among the subie community.

for 15K I did it in my driveway at home. nothing major. oil, tire rotation, check the e-brake works, brakes work. it's more of a "make money on the people that don't know any better" service.
