Where are you located?

If south bay area, I would only recommend Auto HQ located in downtown Mountain view.

Auto Headquarter - Mountain View, CA | Yelp

230 Villa St
Mountain View, CA 94041


Kevin will take care of you!

RBMS, GST and LIC no other shop touches any car I own.

A clutch ain't brain surgery on these cars. All of the shops mentioned are certainly more than capable of the job.
It's more of a question of where you live and want to take the car.
On the Peninsula, Auto HQ is hard to beat.
In the Easy Bay, GST and RMBS have fine reputations.
In the North Bay, EQ Tuning
In the South Bay, Speed Element, Mann Engineering and Garage One are all good Subie specialists for PM work.

Actually it is considered the North Bay.


Also, every shop listed is great and can/will do a great job.
We are lucky to have sooo many choices as other parts of the US, lucky to find a Subaru Specialist let along have a pick of a bunch!

Good luck!

Great info, thanks for the input guys. I'm in the South Bay so probably going to contact Garage One or Speed Element. Dealership wants $1,7XX plus tax, ouch!
