Sunrunner out near Belgrade. They seem to know their Subies.
Don's on E. Frontage Rd. 587-5169. Kind of hard to find but very cheap and quick. Replaced my radiator with a used one on site for $125.
straightaway motors downtown does a great job. belgrade garage in belgrade is also really good.
but if it is an older suby, sunrunner is the place to go.

Don's is the bomb! He only works on subies and is really good at it.
is don's the place called bullwhacker or next to it? near the end of the frontage road. I think I've been there before, thanks for the info
straightaway. went in there with a problem, they looked at it on the spot, found the problem, and had it fixed by the next day. great all around guys!
3rd on Straightaway. Also call Francis Farr (Farr Automotive) near County Market.
Sunrunner is great if you can put up with Sparse. I can't.
I've had really good experiences (nothing sexual) with Pete at Straightaway. However, with an old suby, from what I've heard, Don's is pretty hard to beat.
Have to concur with the Don's votes - when I was looking at buying a Subie, multiple subaru driving sources steered me toward Don's for a straight opinion on the car. No bullshit, quality work, without extra$...
I'm the man in the box. It's warm here.
Anyone other than Don or Straightaway? Sparse is not an option.

Kevin at deeter automotive. Tell him you are a friend of Graeme's. He's a good guy.
The guys over at don's do good work too.
Sparse (Sunrunner is gone)
Not Subie specific but I had good work done out at 4-corners on my Nissan PU in December, including the timing belt. They did my 105K service for about 400.00 less than several other quotes, were easy to deal with and seem to know what they are doing.

Another friend takes his big Ford PU there and is satisfied as well, 6 years.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

We took it to College Exxon on a coworkers recommendation and he was great and passed us off to Don's. Both of them have been super helpful and we're in the middle of figuring out what to do with the head gasket and the car.
Also, he was sure it was the fact that we removed the banjo filter that has made the turbo last this long. Props to Super Rupair in Boulder for doing that many years ago.
Sun runner is not gone, just moved. They are in the old curt electric building on frontage acouple miles west of Belgrade.
