crewheart Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Need help finding a good mechanic to work on my Subarus (when needed). Had what I thought was a good mechanic, but a trust issue came up and I question his honesty now. I live in the Northwest suburbs of chicago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have good Subie guy up here in MIlwaukee. Are you interested in coming up here? He has done 2 - 2.5 HG jobs for me,a bunch of Volvo work and recently did a cargo van rear end for me. All very good work at a good price. Let me know and I can hook you up with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daehttub2000 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Do you have newer or older Subies? I have a great mechanic for cheap repairs on older Subies. My 95 Wagon had a worn out head gasket that started to leak antifreeze to the top of on of the cylinder banks (2 head gaskets on the good old boxer). Evanston Subaru gave me a $1,500-$2,500 range depending upon what they found. Based on bad previous experience with them I no longer trusted them (A good Subie Dealer Service Center is hard to find...). One of the WRX racer/gearhead/saleman gave me a good reference: Mike's PC Auto, Inc. 1410 E.

daehttub2000 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Part 2 (buggy message board truncated my post) Mike’s PC Auto 847-259-7670 The owner seems to specialize in hopping up performance cars. They’re located within walking distance of a local Subie dealer so parts access isn’t an issue. $1,055 for both gaskets and they worked with me to keep the costs down. 2 years later the car runs great. They also gave me a cheap quote to fix my leaky diff seals (sound familiar?). Evanston Subaru charged me over $700 and they still kept leaking. I’ll definitely use them in the future.
