The price of a 30,000 mile inspection was shocking to me at $785. At first I thought that it was way too high and then someone told me it was normal. I looked on line after paying the bill & these things seem to be quite pricey. In the past they did a different job and the cost was high as well but I think they are talented as they figured out what the problem was and they did a great job so I'm pleased. The problem they discovered was some weird thing the orevious owner had tried to do. read more

Good people, fair and direct, truly want to help you with info and best suggestions. I would use them again and recommend. Thanks Mike & Co! read more

Good service and communication. The owner/mechanic was reliable and explained the issue well and even saved the old part to show us. It was a wiring issue we were having and those can be tricky. I recommend this business for Subaru owners! read more

Great company to deal with! Great prices and service! I will use them for all of my Subaru needs!

Owning a Subaru is a challenge in itself, Mike and the crew truly make EVERYTHING better. For starters, they have the best pricing in town! They are knowledgeable and honest about their work! If something is wrong, they'll fix it. No questions asked. FYI if you are needing any modifications, take the ten seconds and ask! They seem to be a walking Subaru encyclopedia. I'll forever love the SubieTech fam! read more

Ok so Let's make this simple.......... You want GREAT Service,.....From a stand up guy? Then this is the place to go. Mike is not only a genuinely great and honest guy, but he will be "frank" with you about your car and what it needs and what your options are. Oh and did I mention that his schedule is really flexible? That makes it so much easier to get work done for those of us that work M-F, 8-5 ........So do yourself a favor,.....When your ride needs some work done, whether it be small or large, save yourself some headaches and give Subietech a call...........enough said! read more

I've had my 2018 Crosstrek here three times. They are a great independent Subie shop, whether you need routine maintenance or performance and other upgrades. They are friendly, knowledgeable, willing to research parts and supplies, and their work is excellent. I'll be coming back! read more

I've been over to SubieTech a few times now and the folks there are rockstars. Their prices are super reasonable and they couldn't be nicer. I've always felt that they make the right recommendations and don't try to pile on services I don't need. With the local Subaru dealership continuing to be short staffed, and not being able to take service appointments less than 2 months out (and that's for warranty work), SubieTech is the way to go. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Mike is a super nice guy that won't jerk you around! He's very quick when your parts arrive. My lady and I both come here for all things Subaru. Little did I know I used to go to his shop in SoCal I years ago! Small world now that we both ended up in Bend, OR years later. You're missing out if you're not already taking your Subie here for maintenance and/or modifications. Thanks SubieTech for being awesome read more

Got a Subaru? Don't go anywhere else for repairs! Feeling really fortunate to have found Subietech! Mike's thorough, honest and (bonus) a nice guy! He did what needed to be done, charged a more than fair price, and gave an idea of what might need doing on down the line. He did NOT try to fix or replace things that didn't need fixing yet (which, unfortunately, has been my experience with others in the past). Good service, fair pricing, nice person to deal with. What more can you ask for? (And no, I'm not getting paid to give this review, nor am I a relative :-D. I'm just really happy to have found a great mechanic!) read more

Finding an honest mechanic isn't easy... and Subaru Tech is a trusted mechanic!! Not only will they make sure your car is given the best service possible, they also give 200% for customer satisfaction!! I had an issue with my car, and rather than charge me a ton of money, they spent hours of personal time to research my situation and found that I would actually be better off taking my car to the dealership and have the same service handled under warranty. They could have easily taken advantage of my situation and I wouldn't have known the wiser, instead they treated me like family. Don't make the mistake of guessing that your mechanic is being honest, take your vehicle somewhere that you too will become part of the family! I found my mechanic for as long as I live in Bend, and. Ow you have too!! read more

SubieTech Headquarters is the only place I will bring my car if I need repairs or maintenance. Mike is extremely professional and trustworthy. I recommend SubieTech Headquarters to everyone I know. read more

Just found this place. I reached out to their email help form and Tori got back to me the same day with the info I needed. Since they had the heads I needed for my Forester in stock I headed in. After talking to Tori and Mike they said they sell most all parts I'd need. Well awesome, I also got my six stars HG's and timing belt all in one trip. Super fair prices and friendly no nonsense help. read more

I used Mike to put a Subaru engine in my Vanagon. Its a big job and my van is my baby. First and foremost, I love the new 2.5 engine and the power it has provided. But, what is more important is how someone stands behind their work. Putting an engine in a 25 year old vehicle (that is not the same brand) is going to have tweaking afterwards. No matter how small my issues are (and they are big to me), Mike gets me down to the shop and does all the tweaks free of cost. He stands behind his parts and labor.... including meeting me at the shop on weekends at times. If you are considering a Subaru swap in your vanagon, you can definitely trust Mike and his word. read more

Took my 2018 Subaru STi in for an Axleback exhaust installation and I couldn't be happier with the service. Mike is amazing at what he does and also very efficient and knowledgeable. The waiting room was also a plus with all the entertainment options to keep me busy. Only taking my Subaru to Subietech from now on, thanks again Mike! read more

If you have a subaru... this is one of the places you want to go in Socal! Friendly staff, affordable prices - what moar to do you want! read more

My radiator blew out on the freeway going to work one day. Brought my WRX in, and in a couple of hours had a new Koyo OEM radiator and installed for a very cheap price!! Highly recommend any Subaru owner to take in there car to these highly knowledgeable guys!! Thanks for everything Mike!! read more

Mike's my man for service, not only is he hospitable and knows what he is talking about but he is committed to giving you honest service. I had all my fluids replaced and they managed to do it under 90 min. 1st class man on prices and business will be back no questions! read more

Mike is a friendly, experienced guy. He knows Subaru WRX's well. He replaced my clutch on my '04 WRX. When I came back thinking I may need a head gasket done, he quoted me the lowest price I could find by a margin of a couple of hundred dollars, because I was a repeat customer, and then helped me determine that I actually didn't need to replace my head gasket at all. He's offered me plenty of free advice over the phone and by e-mail and also provided advice on where to find the cheapest parts to keep repair prices down. read more

So I'm having a problem with my '04 WRX. I took it down to Mike at Subietech. He waited for me at the appointed time we discussed. Took the car for a test ride, looked over my motor, diagnosed it...Very professional yet did not make me fill like I couldn't ask questions that to him im sure had obvious answers. he made me feel like we were buddy's sitting in the garage working on our own car sipping' a brew!.... After all this I ask him so what do you I owe you, to my surprise he replies... Don't worry about it, if you still have problems after the recommended fix, well talk... What a great experience in this day and age of fly by night crooked mechanics..this guy knows his stuff and is a true Subie enthusiasts! Any Subie owner in the area needs to check this spot out before going any where else! I know my Subie has found her new mechanic. read more

If you're a subaru owner and you don't know anything about cars like me, its essential to have a good, reliable subaru mechanic because regular mechanics just don't cut it and if anything, try to rip you off cuz subarus have a repuation of having higher repair costs. So here's my story: the AC in my 2002 wrx stopped working so I took it to my local well-repsected mechanic who told me I needed a new AC compressor which he said would cost me at least $1000 to repair (parts + labor). I called around other shops and got similar quotes. With such high repair costs, I had to consider selling my car since it already had 150K miles on it but other than the AC, the car was running fine. As a last resort (and driving around in the unbearable heat) I decided to take the car to a subaru mechanic. Within 1 minute of looking under my hood, Mike at Subietech told me my AC belt was gone (most likely it had worn out). So I bought a new belt at Napa Auto down the street for $16, Mike installed it (along with some bulbs that needed to be replaced) and voila! My AC was working!! YAY!!! Mike only charged me for 1/2 hour labor so my total cost for fixing the AC was about $50, meaning Subietech saved me close to $1000!! And just to let you know--before I brought my car in, I had talked to Mike on the phone about how much it would cost to to remove, replace, and recharge the ac compressor and Mike quoted me only $675--which still would have been huge savings compared to the other places I had gotten quotes from. Mike is a honest, cool guy who has a passion for subarus. I'm so glad I took my car to him. read more

subietech is highly recommended. i had a trailer hitch installed, oil change, and tire rotation for 35-40% less than what the dealer was quoting. mike does solid, excellent work. prices are affordable. and unless you're extremely lucky, it's better to set up an appointment. i also appreciated the quick responses to my many inquiries. i'll definitely be back. thanks mike! read more

Had trouble with the '06 Outback. Took us right in and did a fix that will get us back on the road. Told us what needs to be done when we get home read more

subietech ftw! mikey is a cool guy and knows his stuff make sure you set up an appointment because he is only there wed-sat! read more

Knowledgeable, trustworthy and affordable. Able to accommodate to our schedule and needs.

Mike is honest, knowledgeable and charges a very fair price for his expertise. We completely trust him with our Subie's. He is not greedy; so there are no surprises when it comes to what your repair will cost. I highly recommend Subie Tech for all your Subie needs. :-) read more

Mike did a pre purchase general inspection on a 2007 3.0 outback I was looking to buy - quickly identified signs of internal head gasket leaks, a previous blow of the coolant system, oil pan and power steering pump leaks. While it drove nice ... that certainly didn't tell the whole story. Appreciate his quick work and advice. Will be returning when our other Subaru needs maintenance. read more

Great service Mike is a one man show . I made an appointment with him to get some services done on my Subaru . He showed up at the shop on time and went wright to work on my car . The best part he let me hang around and watch him work . Thanks Mike for the great service I'll be back . read more

Mike at SubieTech is extraordinary. He went above and beyond. My OEM radiator blew, I ordered an aluminium after market radiator from him and it was here next day. I had a problem with radiator (not SubieTech's fault, it was a defective radiator) and he went out of his way to return it to the distributor on his off hours and getting it to me as soon as possible. Mike even went as for to point me in the right direction to avoid common problems with the after market installation. I wanted to replace my timing belt as well and everyone on www.NASIOC.com told me to take it to "paulsaidhi" because he is a terrific mechanic. Well now "paulsaidhi" works at SubieTech. I was a little short on cash for the job and have 13k miles till the scheduled maintenance says to replace the timing belt, but I will be definitely taking it to SubieTech for that job next year. -paul pierre read more

I highly recommend Mike and Subietech. He knows and loves Subarus and does great work. We discovered that our 2000 Outback (150k miles) needed its head gaskets replaced shortly before we were scheduled to leave on a 5,000 mile road trip that involved towing a trailer with two complete whitewater raft outfits and several kayaks (up huge climbs and in 100+ degree heat). Called and visited a dozen or so places, and Mike's reasonable price and evident knowledge over the phone led me to decide it was worth it to tow it the 60 miles or so to Downey. He finished the work ahead of schedule and the car performed flawlessly. read more

Just had Mike install an electric trailer brake controller on my 2016 Outback. Cost was way less than other places I checked, and Mike really did go out of his way to talk with me and make sure it was installed right, and exactly the way I wanted. He even pointed out a 'split unit' model of controller that was available, and a much better fit for my situation than the typical controllers. Won't hesitate to bring my car here again! read more

Mike did not do a good job on my car. He had it for about three weeks. When I picked it up, it still drove poorly, and I ended up taking it to another mechanic who found a host of things he did wrong. I spent way too much money there, and had to spend more at the other mechanic too. read more

Mike is super friendly, honest, and a hard worker. he's knowledgeable and will not rip you off for dishonest work. he quoted me $75 for a job, found that the job would take much longer than he expected, and then just tried to do a quick fix and only charged me $25. the place isn't some fancy and high tech shop, but mike for sure gets the job done. highly recommended, especially for subarus! read more

Mike was fabulous! Needed to sort out an electrics issue on an SVX...needed it sorted quickly and for a workable price..he got the job done, and then some. 24 hour turn time and the price was more than fair..just an all around good guy. We'll be back! read more

Mike is very knowledgeable regarding Subarus. Also very chill and easy to talk to. Great work and a fair price. I highly recommend SubieTech. read more

I have a 2013 Outback that stranded us in Bend, Oregon on our way back from Washington to San Diego last week. The throw out bearing had disintegrated, while newish, it was out of warranty. It happened late Friday afternoon just before dealership service depts. closed. Our dealership in Carlsbad, Bob Baker Subaru basically said "you are out of warranty so we don't care....have a good weekend..hahahahah..click"....The dealership in Bend said "love to help you but happy hour is starting, call back in the morning and maybe we can fit you in". Mike said "how can I help? Bring it by first thing in the morning and we'll see what we can do". He diagnosed the throw out bearing in about 12 seconds. Since I was carless, he drove me to the dealership to buy the parts and dropped me at the hotel and he went to work. He did the teardown that day. The next morning he discovered that the dealership had given me the wrong parts. THIS WAS A SUNDAY MORNING AND HE WAS WORKING ON MY CAR!!! Since the parts dept was closed on Sunday I had to wait until Monday morning to tell the dealership that they had pulled the wrong parts.... Part arrived on tues, Mike fixed it, we got on the road and made it home safely. Mike was fast, accurate, professional and cool all at the same time. I had some follow up questions the next day and he was responsive and helpful. All in all he spent much more time than he billed me, between the actual repair, working with Subaru, acting as a taxi driver etc he spent at least 4 more hours than he quoted for the actual repair. Mike does not have some high tech garage, but somehow from his modest garage he managed to make a large international car company look like a bunch of fools as he did laps around them with his great customer service, fair prices and excellent work. You will not find a better choice to work on your car than Mike. Thank you Mike...you saved our butts...but I am still trading in this Suckaru for a Toyota. The Caldwell Family read more

I've been going to Mike's Subietech for 2 years now after getting reamed by Timmons in Signal Hill. He's been a lifesaver. He's very knowledgeable, responsive, and affordable. I can't say enough. read more
