Any SVX specialists near Chicago?
Hello, can anyone recommend a honest, reasonable (ha-ha!) mechanic in the Chicagoland area that knows how to work on the SVX?
Thanks. |

I live in the Chicago area (NW suburbs). But i just got my SVX and havent had anything wrong with it yet (except a MAJOR squeaking of the brakes) I took it to the Subaru dealer in Arlington Heights to get the brakes looked at, but ended up taking it to Merlin's to get the work done. Ill post here if i have anything else go wrong. *knocks on wood* And where i took it. But so far havent had the need to find someone. If you find someone who knows some stuff, come post here again, ill be happy to have someone who knows about it around.

What do you need on your SVX. I know guys that can work on the SVX on different stuff. Let me know. I used to live on Lake Shore Drive but now I am in wheeling.

Hey Sera, im in Arlington Heights, maybe we could organize a small Chicago-land mini-meet. Except it might be kind of embarasing if i come rolling in, attempt to stop, and deafen everyone around with my brakes. Anyone got any ideas on how to stop them from screeching? (short of buying new rotors) I've had the rotors machined and the pads de-glazed, but that only helped for a week or so. Pretty embarasing when you pull up to someone who's looking at your car and you come to a screeching halt (pun intended).

just a fact of svx life.
i have heard that people have less squeaking from OEM pads. i personally have carbon fiber pads and very little noise.

i live near St. James church, by St. Viator's school. Closest big roads would be Euclid & A.H. Road. I live on Douglas at the top of the hill inbetween Oakton and Euclid. My SVX is normally parked outside (damn parents ) Stop by some time.
