Default 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.

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)
