Garage
I don't like naming companies if it isn't necessarily flattering but I towed my car to the nearest Toyota dealer on a Sat. The starter I think was $890 and up to 2 weeks plus 3 hours at $130. I told the guy that I purchased 2 Scions from them and towed the car there since I thought I could trust them. I then told him pretty sure Subaru same part around $400 so he called me and 5 minutes later $360 +$390 labour +tax. This and towing my total was around $1100. In the furture I will pay $360+ tx and do the job. This time my other car was blocked in the garage so had to do something.

The closest Subaru to my Toyota dealer is Willowdale.

Pretty sure Subaru are better for everything for these cars btw.

Alternator is easy to remove, personally I'd get the $200 rebuild if the turnaround is quick. Any idea why yours went early? My starter went as a result of trying to start with a seized belt due to supercharger failure in 2015. It was smoking and I fully expected eventual premature failure as a result.
