Subaru Mechanics

Hey

Would anyone know of a private Subaru repair shop in the gta?

Subaru costs too much for labour. :/

cost too much in what sense? a 15+ thousand dollar car will cost just a little more than a civic when it comes to maintainence. subaru's cost more for labour for a reason. they're more time consuming to work on.

I understand that of being a H-4 motor. I need to find a shop that specializes in subaru and doesn't cost $100+/hour.

If you're looking for a really good Subaru shop, try Can-Jam Motorsports in Thornhill. Not sure what their rates are, but they do a lot of Subarus. They prepped the Canadian Subaru rally team cars.

It may be a bit out of your way but NV auto in hamilton do a great job with subarus.

Nam is a certified subaru tech, they do full rally car builds and all sorts of crazy projects but also offer standard services as well below subaru dealership costs.

He deals with Subaru america so can offer lower prices on the same parts that you would find through subaru canada
