i noticed many of the advertised shops advertised in this site are from the bay area, which is cool. which shop do you usually go to? im picky about who i take my car to and im lookin for the best deals and a shop that knows their stuff about WRXs. one too many times, have i heard about a shop that does bad work and rips people off on parts!

im sure everyone here has a preference. i dont expect anyone to say negative things, but if you do have negative feedback... send me a pm. hehe

thanks in advance, ya'll.

 

Well I pm'd you. There have only been 2 shops I have never heard anything bad about, a couple more I've only heard a couple comlaints about.

But to anyone else who might post in this thread, please refrain from negatory comments in public, thanks. (I know I have been guilty of that in the past)

 

It depends on what youre looking to do, use the Search button and usually there will be threads with recomended shops.

 

some of those recommendations are outdated. just curious to see anything has changed since then. i noticed gruppe-s has some competitive pricing so far...

 

Gruppe-S, LIC, MPJ.....all good shops.

 

for dealership work: Santa Cruz Subaru
For car sales: Santa Cruz Subaru ( ask for Dan Levine or Bruce)
For Aftermarket parts locally: Gruppe-S, MPJ, SubyDude
For aftermarket parts online: World One Performance
For Tuning: Gruppe-S or EQ Tuning
For part installation and maintenance: LIC Motorsports, Gruppe-S

I think that about covers it.

Auto HQ is also a good place to take your car for tune up and maintenance stuff, I only went there once for my 45K service and they tried to sell me an intake cleaning service, I said no, they did it anyways free of charge.
That was the only thing I didn't really like about the service. But otherwise they were great.

Edit:
I am only commenting and suggesting places that I have personally been a customer of and dealt with, I've had great service from everywhere.
