Just bought my first Subaru....98 OBW. I think it needs a t-belt. Anyone know of a good mechanic in Columbus area who can change it for me?

 

Don't want to be taken to the cleaners by the typical dealer service shop.

i would most likely find my way to c-bus. as i have gone there before to put subarus toghether. what side of town are you on?

 

is your motor the 2.2 or 2.5?

You can trust your subaru in the hands of Miles Fox. that guy knows what he's doin.

It is a 2.5. I live on the southwest side of Columbus, but I am willing to travel to save a buck or two. I just hate dealers charging $90 and hour, and charging twice-the-price for parts. I am a firm believer in going to dealer only if you have to. Would much rather hand my money to the small mechanic who appreciates his customers and actually cares.....and knows what the heck he is doing!

.....and knows what the heck he is doing!

Fox knows what he's doing, hell I wasn't even sure what he was doing under the hood of this 83 I'm rollin now, but believe me. He will do what you need, and he'll do it damn good.

i tried to send you a private message ,but your box was full , miles fox would be the one to do the work , i live in the western part of the state ,and he has done alot of work for me + i have learned alot

Learning is definitely what I need to do. I bought a Subaru because my neighbor has two early 90's Legacy L's that both have over 200k miles on them. The bodies are rusting away, but they drive great, with no problems. The t-belts have been the only things touched on either engine.

have all parts ready to be installed , so when miles gets down there then the job will go smooth , ebay has good priced timing belt kits , + other parts that might need to be replaced
