Found a good mechanic

Ive been taking my Legacy and SVX to a local guy(lives less than a mile from me) and has done excellent work on both cars. Recently changed a drivers front axle out and only charged $35. While I was there I asked how much to do the wheel bearings and he quoted 35-40 per wheel. He is one of these old timey mechanics who doesnt fool around, had the axle changed out in less than a day. I paid more for the axle than the labor. Cash only though but without taxes-which is a big plus here in Tennessee, ..0975 cents on the dollar.

He is very reasonable and cheap. It also helps to have a local yard with good prices on parts. Huck the junkyard has 2 XTs that look complete.

Huck the name of the junkyard is A & B body shop ph# is 931-484-4311 Address is 110 Sparta Drive in Crossville located on the road right behind Autozone. I think he has 2 XTs a 2 early 90s Legacys a SVX(dont take anything its mine!!!-just kidding ) and a totaled 2000-2004 Something Outback Legacy. He lets you pick your own and prefers cash which shouldnt be a problem because he is cheap. Hope this helps. Damian
