Am looking for a mechanic in the Pittsfield area. Just moved here and am having a problem with my 96 outback. Any recommendations or even warnings on a place to avoid? Car is not starting so would need to tow it and dont want to be bringing it to multiple places. Thanks.

I would ask the workers at Auto Zone, Advance Auto, I got excellent leads doing that.  You could also check the junk yards, there is one in the Sheffield area I have gotten parts from.   I know Pete at Berkshire Hills Jewelry and Coins, they are pretty street smart may be able to recommend someone.  They are across the way from Advance, which bought out a better parts place IMO.

 

For the historically minded, both Berkshire Hills and Advance are on the same road as the Melville homestead, a few miles south.

^^^ that's a good suggestion. You might ask at Discount Tire too.

 

there are regional Forums at NASIOC, you might read/ask there if no one responds here.

 

and ask at www.subaruoutback.org too.
