I have owned many many Subarus and have been through many many mechanics b/c I find that no one mechanic besides the dealer can competently work on a Subaru. However, I hate the red tape involved with dealerships, have to make an appointment 3 weeks in advance and drop the car off for a couple of days. So I need a decent recommendation for a Subaru Mechanic, I live in Queens, so preferably here or in Nassau County LI would be real helpful..Thanks in advance
