Sirlono Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have a 99 Outback that I need to get some work done on - oil leak, timing belt, etc. I'm looking for a mechanic in the east bay, preferably in the Concord / Walnut Creek area. Any suggestions? I asked around for a Sacramento mechanic but this would be just as close for me. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adnan Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hi, If Pleasanton isn't out of your range, there is a pair of associated shops that are very good. One is called Autotron and the other is Precision Auto (I think). One specializes in Honda/Acura and the other in the rest of the Japanese lineup. Friends of mine have taken their vehicles there and come away impressed and very satisfied. I know I had spoken to them on the phone about the torque bind issue on our previous car, a '96 Legacy Outback, and I thought they were honest and knowledgeable.

Regards, Adnan Yup, I agree with those shops being good. When I lived in P'ton, my Acura was serviced esclusively by Precision (wish he wasn't so far from the Ranch). Excellent shop..but I don't think they really work on anything else (never thought to take my Subaru there). About Autotron, my neighbor had a weird version of a Mazda pickup. He took it there, fixed him right up. I believe he takes his Toyota and his wife's Civic there too..he must like them, he keeps going back. If I need real expert help with my Subaru, either Independent Auto in Sparks or Norm's in South Tahoe are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do work on Subarus as a means of "extra" income. None of what you mentioned seems anywhere close to out of my range. Send me a PM and we will talk. I live in the Delta Area (Antioch then go a bit east) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
