mccall Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm fairly certain I'm going to need a new clutch in my 98 Forester. It's slipping in 5th under anything but light acceleration. I'm located in Philadelphia, PA and I'd like some recommendations for an honest competent shop where I can take it to have it looked at and to have the work done or what shops to stay away from (besides Cottman & Aamco). The car is obviously out-of-warranty and the local Subie dealer is above MSRP on parts prices so I'm sure getting the work done there would be a lot more expensive than at a transmission place. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My head mechanic is a Senior Subaru Master Tech that still works for Subaru. I have been over on the SVX Network (http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/) for a number of years. My shop specializes in 60/120K services and most all service work. (water, oil pump, engine re-seals ect.) Last sunner I ran a special of a $350 SVX 60/120K service. I had customers from New York, western Pa and even Conneticut come over for the service. I had a woman on here last month from Va for a timing belt replacement. I only use OEM parts, unless you supply them. in that case i can't stand by the part for any type of warranty if its aftermarket. I stand 110% behind my work and I don't think anyone can beat my prices. If anyone needs service work done, feel free to mail me or post on here, i will put the prices right out there for all to see. I'll respond to all my messages and e-mail later today. thanks ~ SVXPERT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent you an email asking for the shop location and phone # so we can (hopefully) arrange a date I can get the clutch replaced. Let me know.
