Subaru Specialists of Sacramento?
Hello folks, new to iClub. Have been an occasional lurker on NASIOC.

I need timing belt service soon. Have heard alot of good things about Paul at DBTuned. But it's a bit far from me comparing to Subaru Specialists in Downtown Sac. Has anyone been to Subaru Specialists for service? They provide rental car for major service, I could just drop off my car and go back to work. I can't find any of their review from NASIOC. Wonder if they are reputable

their site: www.subaruspecialists.net

The drive to Paul is worth it, trust me. There are a number of people here who have had bad experiences with Subaru Specialists.

haha, exactly the same question and pretty much the same answer too
the fact that I couldn't find that old thread is due to their business name change...

Run far far away from Subaru Specialists. I live in Sacramento, and I gladly drive out to DBTuned to see Paul, even though Subaru Specialists is ~10 minutes away.

It all boils down to Paul is a stand-up guy, and really knows his stuff.

Paul's the man! Truthful and Honest... My girlfriend almost got ripped off from Subaru Specialists. I was out of town on business and she had my car lowered as a gift, by them and they told her it was going to be $375 out the door with tanabe GF210 springs and they tried to charge her alomst $600. Keep it in the family, and stay with dbTuned...
