Greetings All,

I recently bought a SVX on New Year's Eve. I just got back from a Subaru Dealership in Atlanta (Ed Voyles). I wanted to have the car checked out for any problems that needed attention. Here is what they told me that was wrong:

Left Front Axle clicking bad
Left Rear Wheel Bearing roaring
Valve cover gasket seal leaking oil
Front crank seal and cam seal leakage
Drive belts cracks
Front pads worn out

What are the approx cost of all this work and do I need to replace bearings and/or axle in pairs or can they do them individually? Also has anyone had their SVX's repaired at Ed Voyles Subaru in Atlanta, GA before? Are they decent and experienced in fixing SVX's. Any recommendations for mechanics that are in the Atlanta area that are reliable?

They also told me that the valve cover gasket seal and front crank seal and cam seal probably aren't that important to fix nor is the drive belt cracks. Is that true. They were emphasizing that the axle and bearing needs to be replaced.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the help!
