I have 2 Subarus which are reliable, but when something does need fixing, it gets expensive. For example, I asked the dealer for a quote just to remove a filter to the turbo and i was quoted 450 bucks and an estimated 6 hours of work.
I took it to Mori and he did that, plus install a new turbo, fuel pump, turbo inlet, and odd and ends for about that same price. The turbo inlet was a beast to install. All the Subaru forums have long stories about how long it takes for the Perrin inlet to be installed. Mori did it within the price quote he gave me.
My only regret is not having known about Uehara Motowerks sooner. When i look back at all the expensive recent repairs, I can only wonder how much i would have saved.
It is nice to see someone that actually enjoys what they do. Sometimes you go to chain stores and they don't seem to care. Mori puts in the extra hours to do the job right which is rare these days.
Thanks guys, Now I'll guess i have to wait a bit longer once the word gets out.
