Hello,

I am checking out a 2008 Subaru WRX either this Saturday or next weekend. I wanted to take the WRX into a local Subaru mechanic for them to do a checkup on the car before I decided to purchase it or not from a private seller.

I don't know any good Subaru mechanic shops located in Santa Clara. Can anyone recommend any Subaru or general mechanic shop in Santa Clara?

Thank you,

 

Gst..

not in santa clara.

mann engineering would be the place I would call

 

Garage 1 Auto on Almaden rd

I've brought in my wagon a few times, their service is great!

 

/thread.

I had my car in there on a Friday afternoon just before closing for an oil change and they took the time to do a full-on inspection when the tech was looking to head out early....speaks volumes in my book.

 

I can also vouch for Mann

 

ahq in redwood or speedelement in fremont.

 

Mann Engineering

 

Another vote for Mann.

 

Garage 1 doesn't do compression test but they do all the other inspections. With that said, how important is for me to get a compression test done on a used WRX?

 

I would think compression and leakdown are a must for any turbod engine. If numbers check out and you're going to buy it, might as well have them install new spark plugs while they're there.
