They just performed an engine overhaul on my 2001 Subaru.
Barry Hartzel has been in the business for a couple of
decades or more. He builds and races cars. He loves and
breathes cars. And he seems to give as much attention and
care to older common car owners as he does to his Alpha and
Ferrari owners. Detailed inspection, a very thorough
explanation in layman terms as to what is wrong and what the
repair options are. The shop is large enough to deliver good
service (my overhaul was completed in 4 working days), but
small enough to be able to offer personal service. I never
thought I'd be so happy to turn over three grand to someone.
But knowing he did a great job and was charging a fair
price, I did not begrudge him his fee and was glad to pay
his fee.
