I just wanted to pass along some information about a recent recall that Subaru put out for Subaru 2002 and 2003 WRX vehicles with possible fuel leakage issues and fuel smell on cold days.
Below is a link to the letter that Subaru has been sending out to WRX owners. Please take the time to read it. It [...]

Many Subaru owners have been faced with the dreaded head gasket failure on their Subaru. There has been much discussion about what the problem is, why it happened etc. I would like to discuss another subject that doesn’t come up often.
Is there any way Subaru will pay for my head gasket repair and how do [...]

How Flat Rate  works and why I don’t believe it’s  good for the Subaru owner or any car owner for that matter.

Since the 2.5 liter Subaru engine was put into production there have been thousands of head gaskets replaced across the country. We’ve done a good portion of those ourselves. In another [...]

On the evening of the 10th we had just returned home in the fameous Smart Service 350,000 mile Subaru Legacy with our new baby boy-Matthew. Just figuring out what to do once you get the newborn  home was exciting and overwhelming  for my [...]

The Shoreline Community College automotive program was very enlightening to me. I was surprised that after going through the first year of classroom/hands on training how many student’s just weren’t going to make it.
