Russ’ Garage

All 5 of those stars are well deserved!
After all the work Jim did on my wrx it is running better than ever.
I really appreciate having such knowledgeable people to trust our cars to.

You can count on Russ’s Garage for integrity. They’re great at figuring out what needs to be done now, what should be done soon, and what can be put off a while. I especially appreciate having a female mechanic who I can trust to treat me honestly.

After talking on the phone and meeting these awesome people for the first time I thought they deserved five stars. Everyone in this shop was very polite, and very knowledgeable in all things Subaru. (I love that). I thought it would be a little more helpful to the fellow Unilocalers, to include a review on the work performed on the vehicle.
Even though I considered this a «major» repair (center differential), Russ and EmJay knew very well what was going on and made me feel comfortable they would get this repair done right. And that’s exactly what they did. It’s been a few days now after getting my Outback and putting some miles on it and this car drives like it did brand new again.
I can’t thank you guys enough, and now have another Subaru fan who will bring his Subie’s here for all routine maintenance and for the non routine repairs.

Very kind people. They do good work and are passionate about Subarus.

Although Russ specializes in Subarus, I’m confident they can tackle any job. They have a very competent team that does great work for a great price. Russ is one of those few shops that actually tells customers what they do NOT need to get done on their car instead of looking for work that they can charge. I’ve trusted them for many years with mechanical jobs and I know you can too.

Russ’ Garage is a auto repair shop that specializes in Subarus.
EmJay, Russ and the crew performed the 100k timing belt service and replaced the leaking head gaskets on our 2002 Outback Wagon. EmJay gave me an original estimate to complete the work before starting, and they beat it by more than 10%. They also don’t markup the cost of the parts — what they pay is what you pay on your invoice. They also plan ahead, quote you and and get all of the parts they may need — but they only charge you for the parts they actually use.
While working on the car, they also identified that one of our CV boots was torn. They priced up a rebuilt axle ($ 300!), and decided to remove the CV, install the new boot, reinstall the CV and re-​pack it, all for a small fraction of the rebuilt axle.
I can’t say enough praise about them. This shop is fair, reasonable, honest, and legit. You can’t beat this shop if you own a Subaru.
AND — for you car tuners and race-​boys: these guys will help you get the most of your Subbie. They drive and race their own Subbies too!
