depends on what you need done to it, if its easy stuff i would suggest doing it your self and learn the car inside and out. there are other subie owners who will be down to help i live in socal and can help you out all that i can.

if its major stuff take it to a shop like yimi sport, HB speed, edo, etc...

pm me where in socal your at

don't go to millenium. The guy was a joke, the shop was a joke... there were parts just laying everywhere. Fortunately my clutch install went fine, but I was scared to death.

i can handle the majority of the work in my garage, but there are diagnostic tools i kno im going to need that i dont have.

an actual subi shop would be a pref place, esp one that takes pride in their work. im sure i speak for everyone by stating..i have no need for half a$$ed work!

im currently by irvine and regularly go as far as hemet/phelan and even valencia. so driving to a quality shop isnt a problem for me.

I would suggest Harman Motive, but I'm not sure if they do in house work anymore or not. I'd contact them. They were known as the best in the business at one time.

Stay away from i-speed though. I don't hear much good stuff out of there.
