If this is Sarcasm or a Smart Remark, the reason i made this Thread was to look for a a home mechanic so i can save money. After Realizing it's a pretty major and big job, I am now deciding to have a shop repair the car for me. That's why I made the Thread. Of Course I could've just went on the list and called the nearest shop, but after making this thread I Discovered more shops that aren't on the list that are closer to me such as Mann Engineering.
I also discovered that no home mechanic/tech wants to tackle this job. Which is totally understandable. Also getting repairs done at a shop should give me some kind of warranty. Garage 1 Auto gives a 12month/unlimited mile warranty on all repairs they do.
It is what it is, can't like or dislike, all it is is the truth.

Thanks Rau, by Fishy do you mean the Shop can be saying something fishy or by me posting this thread is fishy? haha
Anywhoo I think I'm going to get a second opinion and bring it to MAnn since they are closer to my house.
Thanks Rau.

So you're admitting you didn't read the thread. Great. Since it said to check the vendor forums, the vendor review forums, and the all-knowing Google... Simply searching for "subaru santa clara" yielded Mann Engineering as the top hit.

If it means anything to you Gary from Mann Engineering has his cars put together by LIC motorsports. LIC does awesome work. I've been taking my car there for the last 7 years.

The comment was directed at grnbean, who is singing the highest praises of some shops. My experience with one of the shops resulted in a VERY different outcome than his experience.
