Wide selection high quality car part at competitive prices, their kwnowleageable staff and excellent customer services

Pricey but solved one of two problems that another local dealer couldn't.

Consumer from El Cerrito, CA

I recommend them because I am assuming (without credentials) that their mechanics are Subaru trained. Verbal assurance, but nothing to document who worked on my car or their qualifications. Car left dirty and if you don't do an express appointment, timeframe of completion is not at all clear when dropping off the car.
