Independent repair shop in MA or RI?
 

Greetings all, can anyone recommend a good independent repair shop to work on a BRZ (and Crosstrek) in Southern Massachusetts, southern Boston suburbs, or Rhode Island?

Dealers are increasingly getting rapacious with service pricing. The local dealer I've been using has been great (Patriot in North Attelborough). But, I'm waiting for them to start playing games like other manufacturer's dealers are increasingly doing, such as a '$199 mandatory diagnostic fee' and charging 3 hours labor for a job that takes half an hour.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've been happy with Patriot Subaru. They even inspected my oil pan on the '23 and then cleaned the RTV out and covered it under warranty! I only had to pay for the oil change...

Wile Motorsports in Walpole are great, but they are primarily a BMW shop. Not particularly cheap on service pricing but well worth it to me for some custom/specialized work!

FasTrack Automotive is likewise GREAT, but up in Peabody MA.

IMO, for standard type of work, Patriot Subaru = fine.

Thank you, I agree. We’ve taken our various Subarus (3) to Patriot for the past 7 years. I’ve always been thrilled with their sales and service.

But - in December the dealership was sold and is now Imperial Subaru. I haven’t been there since the new ownership. I’m a little skeptical when a business is sold. The new owners often try to squeeze profits to pay for the cost of the acquisition. I’ll give Imperial a try, but am scouting for a replacement if needed.
