Professional, good quality work, but typical (high) dealer prices.

Very high prices compared to South Bay dealership, and the shop actively tries to sell other services. For a recall repair with no other service, was told it would take several months.

Consumer from MENLO PARK, CA

We have had problems with oil leakage on our Forester. Dealer figured out how to cover it under warranty and did the work. It took some time and a couple of engine block replacements, and they provided a substitute car while work was done. Staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout.
