Shop recommendations for maintenance work
 

Looking to get some work done on an '04 Impreza TS - A 90k service + Timing Belt and Water Pump.

Preferably within 60 miles of Tracy,CA. So, Concord/Hayward/Fremont/San Jose on the west, Sacramento/Stockton/Modesto on the East.

Thanks.

RBMS in Hayward.
LIC in Novato.
AutoHQ in Mountain View.

Might also check out FW in Rocklin.

If you're coming to the Bay, RBMS +1

LIC is probably best in the whole bay area.

Or for a car dude who married his girlfriend and got older and opened a fair and conscientious mom-pop shop:

Rbms!

Seems like RBMS is popular.

LIC is great, but he is in Tracy, that is a bit of a drive for him and Mert(RBMS) is half the distance :)

Can't speak for the other places in anything but reputation (all very good) but I swear by Speedelement myself. They're in SJ near 101 and 880.

DIY if you want to save some cash. The timing belt is pretty straight forward with the cam lock tool and some carefulness (watch Meaty's timing belt video).

No. Even simple stuff tends to take me way longer than is reasonable. I never break even (time vs. money) on any work I do on a car.
