Default Great Subaru specialist in the NW

I have had alot of trouble in the last 12 months finding a reliable indipendant for my Scooby. Been to a couple and had nothing but bullcrap and lies from them, not to mention very high bills.

Found this guy recently, he has been working on scooby for years and really knows his stuff and is very well priced. Got my head gaskets changed so he had to remove the engine and without asking him he cleaned the block and the engine bay.

Here are his details if anyone is interested

yes peter (the owner) can be very blunt at times, but if you want the work on yr car done without any come backs, they are the best in the northwest , my P1 is in there as I type this for a 2.33 engine build
i have been going there for since 2002(even though there is a Subaru dealership 5 minutes from my house !!!)....so you get the picture
the reason they "seem" unfriendly is they are a very busy garage and have no time for time wasters, they take great pride in thier workmanship.
give them a try I doubt you'll be dissappointed

Another thumbs up for Prosport. Peter is a straight talking guy who knows his Subaru's.

I have always had great service and would not hesitate to recommend them.
