Greenville, SC mechanic
Hello all,
I'm looking for a reliable mechanic in the Greenville, SC or Charlotte, NC area. I was told there was an ex-Subaru tech that started a shop in Mauldin, SC, but I can not find his number. If anyone has hus number, or another reputable mechanic in the area, I'd appreciate the information. Thanks! Clarke Russell |

What kind of work do you need to have done?
If you can drive it I'd take it to Tennessee to Earl Duff. I still haven't found a shop in Greenville that I'd trust. If it is a simple replacement of something then bring it over to my place on a weekend.

Hmmm..
Where is Earl located? I need to have the 60K maintenance performed, and I was going to go ahead and replace the water pump and oil pump too. Do you know the guy in Greenville/Mauldin that I was talking about? I actually spoke with him for about 1/2 hour about my car and he seemed to be competent, and he did know his Subarus... Thanks.

Earl Duff is in Oakridge Tennessee. PM Svxter for an exact location - he lives right near there. The owner drives an SVX. We had a meet there a couple years ago and the guys were a great group. I have heard of no bad experiences there.
Is the guy in mauldin the one that used to work at Steve White volkswagon/subaru? Light Brown hair, big guy, late 20's/early 30's (I can't seem to remember his name) If it is him, he is a smart guy and knowledgeable tech. I hated taking my car to steve white only because they pressured this tech (the only suby tech there) into taking alot of shortcuts. I have missing gaskets and bolts on both mine and my wife's svx from that dealership. I replaced timing belts/water pump/oil pump with them and the job was butchered in more ways than one. I don't blame the tech, I blame a manager with poor priorities. I'd trust this tech if I watched him do the work. If it was my car and wallett I'd be planning a trip to Tennessee.
