anyone know of a good subaru mechanic in austin?
Hi Guys,
My 02 WRX is getting up there in mileage and I need a good independent subaru mechanic in the austin area .. anyone have any suggestions? The engine is squeaking when the AC is on and it's coming from the compressor. Anyhow, I need some general maintenence done on it and I don't want to pay $$$ at the dealer. Thanks!

The other belts are quite easy to do. I did mine in about 30minutes, I too had the squeeeking.
The timing belt on the other hand, I'm going to have mine done by the dealer. www.highendmotorperformance.com Jared is a cool guy, check him out (He has an RS-T) |

Let me know if you would what the dealer says about that. I suspect that it's probably just worn out accessory belts. (I hope)
