Where/who is a good Subaru Mechanic in Lower Hutt?

[Guest]

I need to do the 100,000k service on the Forester, cambelt and all that.

I really need to know the best place to take it to in Lower Hutt so it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg, and also so it gets done properly!

Cheers!

I'd have to say Vogel Motors

Only because I used to do work experience there

Bunch of great guys though and get it done asap

Sweet thanks for the tips guys, does ichi ban work somewhere or does he do his own thing?

I was wondering about Vogel, I've heard good things but not specifically about Subaru...

Then again, what mechanic doesn't complain... most of them moan about changing spark plugs lol.

If you havnt already, try Bean Auto Services on Pretoria Street. Just got my 100k service done including idlers, tensioner, cambelt, seals etc for $600.. Having worked on many subies, they know what they are doing

wow does that include labour & genuine parts? & waterpump etc?

i would recommend Rick - Ichiban over any shop, all the work he has done on my car is flawless & i think #1 Subaru Mechanic In NZ & #2 in the world proves this point

i know hes fully booked till the new year but if you can get him to look at your car you should feel privileged ( i know i do) as he is one of the worlds foremost experts on subaru's working on your car

we really need a stickied appreciation thread in the welly section for him

yup $600 includes all parts and labour - you got idlers, tensioner, seals, belt and waterpump , he said they are really good quality same as OEM stuff as hes been using them in other subaru's without any problems...

Ive been getting mechanical stuff done from them forever and havnt let me down once.
