Good place in the east bay to get my car maintained

My car is due for maintenance pretty soon, within the next 200 miles. I have a 03 wrx with 87K. Anyone know a good mechanic in the east bay that specializes in subies and gives a good rate?

what kind of maintenance are you talking about? If you're going for regular maint. hit up any small shop up near Antioch/ Herc/ Concord, ask 'em if they can do you're scoob without bungling the job(and I mean ask them point blank), and they'll likely get you car up to speed without stripping the trans oil plug. If you need $ome fancy pancy bidnezz hit up the previous posts yo.

No offense they're good at what they do

Those places sound great and all. But does anyone know a place in the EAST BAY? I don't want to drive all the way to Fremont or Redwood City just to do a regular maintenance service (with maybe replacing spark plugs), unless I get a ballin' deal :P. But I'm more looking for places out in El Cerrito or Oakland or Concord, I'm willing to go as far as Castro Valley (I work in Dublin). But if anyone knows a place in those general areas. Let me know

Fremont is part of the east bay.

www.yelp.com or take it to the dealership.

If your just gettin fluids replaced n mayb sum spark plugs den jus go to SOS in berkeley, they specialize in subies so they know their way around em. I usually jus drive up to LIC in Novato to get ne thing done cuz I always end up buyin sum other mods ne way.

Yeah, Fremont is a little far for just a regular maintenance. I might hit up that place in Concord. That's on the way to work for me and I like kicking it in Concord. Maybe SOS in Berkeley too might be worth checking.

Thanks guys!
