Shop recommendation
I live in the wilkes-barre area and just moved here 2 years ago. I have an 07 STI that breaks as fast as I fix it. Looking for a good alternative to the dealership.
Current known issues include rack and pinion leak, secondary air pump failure, turbo oil leak and eventually I would like to get a few mods to bump up the performance. Ordered a new turbo yesterday and I have to get the other two issues fixed before the inspection is due. Both dealerships near me are quoting me 1000-1500 for each repair

The dealership is always a rip off, I'm convinced every one of them sabotage your car so it's just never ending problems. If you have some mechanical abilities I say do the work yourself. The turbo replacement is not that bad and you can repair the turbo oil leak when you replace the turbo. IAG Performance offers a kit that replaces the stock hard lines for the turbo oil feed with braided lines. It should only take you a few hours to replace the turbo. Get a can of Aero Kroil and soak all the bolts for a day before attempting anywork and be ready to extract snapped and rounded bolts. If the secondary air pump is giving your issues I suggest deleting it, it's useless. You can do all the work it's not that hard it's just time consuming.

Where's the PA love AZP?
I hear all this great stuff about AZP service but thats a beast of a drive in either direction. One above, one below, none in Pa. Slim pickins round here for quality shops. (SW PA - Pittsburgh area)
Anyone have a line on a decent shop in this locale? Any thoughts on spreading some AZP love out this way? Seems like everyone has a Subaru what with all the mountains and snow round here, and they all use the dealer or some back alley shady tech/mech. It would be nice to find a decent shop close by that i felt comfortable and confident to have quality work done. |

Two of the well known shops I'm aware of are in SE PA. Area1320 (already mentioned) and RT Tuning.
