I'm not sure if this is the correct forum.
I have a 02 wrx sedan that has coolant leak. Can you recommend a suby mechanic in the peninsula or the east bay that can do the work? Also. I might as well replace the water pump and the timing belt since I have about 88k on the car.

Thanks for the info.

 

GST is your closest trustworthy shop. Water pump and whatnot comes at the 105k mile service.

 

youve been on this forum since 2003 and dont know a place to take your car?

gst is where i usually take my car

 

SpeedElement is the place to go. They've always done a pretty good job on my Sti.

 

There are lots of good Subaru shops to choose from.

 

East Bay = GST, Speed Element
North Bay = LIC
In the Bay = AutoHQ

 

My suby has been so reliable that the regular oil changes and the maintenance were done. I usually go to MPJ but looks like they've closed shop.

 

exactly...

we BAICers are so spoiled for having so much indie suby shops... and they support i-club and partipate with us here all the time.

 

did you locate the leak? GST FTMFW. they helped me out with my minor coolant leak. super cool honest people there.

 

Coolant leaks on 02s are very common and typically indicate failure of the radiator.

 

mpj became speedelement, at least i think they did, someone correct me if Im wrong. Go to either GST or LIC though they are def. the best.

 

thats correct. MPJ which used to be in hayward and went under new management: MPJ/ Speed Element. now its just Speed Element which is now located in Fremont.

+1 for all the bay shops. theres ton in the area.

youre in good hands with all the great shops here

 

I was just at Auto HQ for a clutch - they really do a great job
