Looking for a mechanic in the bay area to do regular maintenance and several fixes (new valve cover gaskets, brakes etc) on my stock 2004 WRX. Any suggestions to who is well recommended around here to do basic work?

Look into WerkshopSSF in South San Francisco. Andy and his team are fantastic and have very extensive knowledge in Subarus. He's done quite a few mods to my '17 WRX as well (TBE+intake install, lowering springs and inverted STI strut install, and headlight retrofit)

Depending on where you are, TD Garage in Berkeley is great. Svensson's in Lafayette scratched my hood.

I like this shop because they don't sell you parts. You could bring your own part and he will install it. Nice guy and easy to deal with.

Garage One in Campbell does some great work. They offer a 3 year/36,000 miles warranty on the serviced parts.

Default Saab 9-2x

I have a 2005 Saab 9-2x. Any thoughts on how these shops may treat the Saabaru? I need to get my timing belt and water pump changed, etc.

Thanks
