Good Subie Mechanics? in NH and CO...


Recommended Posts

Hello all!  We have sent our two youngest off to grad school, each driving a decent 95 Legacy, and we'd like to find a trusted mechanic in each of their areas....

 

Our son, driving a 95 Wagon, 2.2L, named "Boreas" (the car, not our son), is in Hanover, New Hampshire.  Our daughter, driving "Gus", a 95 Legacy Sedan, is in Fort Collins, Colorado, about an hour north of Denver.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations about local subie mechanics who are knowledgeable and fair?  Our daughter's car in CO has an oil leak we'd like to diagnose, and our son called today with an 0x Sensor check engine light and something about flow being low. 

 

Thanks!

My son is in Fort Collins and has been well trained in Subaru's. 

 

He's busy with work and college but I'm sure he'd take a look if it's not urgent.

 

Oil leaks are pretty easy on the 95 2.2

Rear of the engine - Breather plate or Cam cover

Side of the Engine - Valve Cover Gaskets

Front of the Engine - Make sure it's not the power steering pump or oil pressure switch.  If those are clean and it's coming out of the timing cover, cam or crank seals or the Oil Pump needs to be resealed.

Well, Boreas is that rare rust free old Subaru... 95 with only one spot.... We are in West Virginia and spend all winter with salt dust coating every inch of our cars. Anyway, the old boy only needs to last a couple more seasons. Any recommendations for service or parts in Hanover? His abs light came on today and the pump is buzzing even with the ignition off.... Guessing we will need a new pump.....

There a black plastic cover on the pump housing that pops off. Under the cover is a handful lf fuses and a relay or two. Just yank the relays out and the motor will quit.

Somewhat common problem on the 95. One of the relays goes bad and sticks on so the motor runs constantly.
