I think the brand everyone likes the most is made by B&M....forgot the p/n, but that's like the most searched item in the SVX network besides transmissions and tires.
I will get a perma-cool filter too and I would like a digital readout...hopefully Dakota Digital will work. I plan on installing it under the lid on the ashtray.. |

I took my SVX to Cascade ONCE and it will never ever go back there, nor will my wifes Outback. Had them do the 120k service (same as the 60k), as well as the waterpump. Took forever to get done, was told it was ready and running like a top......Went to pick it up and it wouldn't even start. Picked it up the next day, and it would stall out when cold, turns out they f'd up putting the vacuum lines on. They lost the clips for the engine cover, and when I bizitched, I managed to get one out of them, but am still short one. The car is also louder when idiling and runs rougher,and is getting slightly lower gas mileage then it was before they "worked" on it.....and there were one or two other minor things I didn't like, not counting the attitude of the people there......Stellar dealer my azz......... For dealer service I'll either go to Brunswick (who Alanscouse has had good luck with) or try K.O., other then that, if I can't (or don't want to) do the work myself, I'll find an independent mech to work on it. But back to the topic at hand, if there a get together that my work schedule will allow me to attend, I'll more n likely be there! As for a tranny cooler, I went with the big flexalite (don't recall the # off the top of my head but could find it if anyone wants)

I can understand your frustration with the time it took, however considering the age of the SVX parts aren't as quick to come by (granted it shouldn't have taken it as long as it did, but still)
Over all once the job was done, were you satisfied with the quality of the work? If you do take it to Cascade, I hope you have better luck with them then I did, like I said, I will NEVER take any car back to them, nor would I deal with them were I to buy a new Subie.

Kinda satisfied because I couldn't do the work, but pissed because I got home and the engine was dripping oil at a fast pace. I spent half the night cleaning the bottom of the car down looking for extra leeks......not to mention the mechanic didn't tighten the oil plug and my driveway is spotty with oil. |

Sounds like the same jackhole worked on mine at Cascade!......LOL
Have you thought about going to Ellicott Shaker for work?, would be in the Cleveland area, so might even be close to you then Azzcade.......

Ellacott Shaker is the closest one to me, but the whole reason I have driven distances to get the car fixed was to get the work done for cheaper labor rates. Brunswick was at $65.00/hour and Ellacott is at $87.00/hour. I believe Ganley Subaru in Willowick is at $95.00/hour. The farther south I go, the cheaper it gets...at least from what I found.
Do you know the labor rates at A$$cade (which I probably won't go to) and K.O. Subaru? Oh, and I'm not sure what the rates are at Ganley Subaru of Lakewood either....I've never had work done at any of these. |

Not sure what it is you need done, but you might also consider an indepenent shop, there are 2 in cuyahoga falls that specialize in foreign cars and list subaru's as one of the ones they specialize in. Don't remember then names of either one, but could find em if you want. I figure I'll try one (or both) of em' at some point for minor work and see how good they are.
