I recently had my car here for its 60,000 mile service, today I came for a leak coming from the rear center of the car. I was seen immediately & the minor problem was rectified. The waiting room with wifi, TV, coffee was clean & comfortable. They also gave an outside lock box to drop your car and or pick up outside of normal hours. The staff are just fantastic. Fair, transparent, brilliant pricing & they are super knowledgeable about Subaru's. I am kicking myself that I haven't came here sooner than this. They are half the price of the dealership & I feel like I'm getting honest upfront clear information about my car. I do not feel like I'm being duped. This is my go to from now on with all the Subaru cars in our family. They did not charge me for the leak. It was a complimentary service since I recently had my major service there. That would not be the case elsewhere. The staff go above and beyond. Just fantastic all round. Definitely look into Subie Doctors. You will not regret it. read more

See all

Subie Doctors is absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was welcoming and genuinely helpful. Partway through the conversation, someone started explaining everything in such an honest, transparent, and informative way that I actually stopped and asked who he was. Turns out, it was the owner, Mike. I've been working with Subie Doctors for a couple of years now, and every visit confirms the same thing: they're honest, fair, and truly care about doing the right thing for their customers. If you're looking for a place that treats you with integrity and gives you confidence in the work being done, this is it. Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend Subie Doctors!!! Great service, they are honest people and great at explaining repairs. read more

I am very disappointed by the service I received from the Subie Doctors. I sent my 2011 outback in to check for an oil leak. Not only did they quote me an egregious amount for the main issue, they quoted me for several other "issues" that didn't even pertain to my request (i.e. headlamp restoration). The part that really turned them off from me is that they noted that I needed a new cabin air filter and included a photo of the dirty filter in the diagnostic. When I went to change the cabin air filter, it was missing. Either they lied about me having a cabin air filter or completely forgot to put my filter back. The Nickle and diming on top of the poor quality of work means that I will likely never be returning to the subie doctors... read more

Suby - Docs is such a great alternative to the dealership. Enough said. I just wish they had not moved so far away. It's a game changer. Traffic in this area is tough and getting a ride share to anywhere from here is almost impossible! They are such great people and worth the drive. I've just noticed that I have let a few things go since they moved. read more

I dropped my car off at 8:30 am for an oil change and power stearing service, and here I sit in their lobby at 6:12 pm; car still not done. My daughter is playing in her school parking lot with my friend because her school closed, and I had no way to get a carseat to anyone to pick her up! Worst service ever!!! read more

Very happy with service. Complete review of my vehicle after driving south to move here. Listing of what needed to be done and/or reviewed. Price is within range of other mechanics. Make your appointments and time allotments for specific services are good. read more

After my subaru was smashed by an irresponsible young person in rush hour traffic last September we began the search for another car. We wanted to stick with a manual Outback and stumbled upon Suby Doctors while searching. They're not just a repair shop but also sell used Subaru's. My husband, having had shop experience while in high school, and being kind of a gear head (and a mechanical engineer) went to meet with the owner and his crew and really liked them. Got the good vibes. He seemed to be very knowledgeable and honest. It was a few months before they had a car that we liked and we were able to close a deal. The entire experience was great and the car is running really well. We'll definitely be returning to them if we ever need work or another Subaru! read more

I've owned a car (not the same one) for 50 years and I can easily say I've never had a better repair experience than at Suby Doctors. Knowledgeable, capable, courteous and reasonably priced for the job at hand, read more

We were a couple from NJ on a long drive to Charleston last week. We were only planning to be in town for two days. About 200 miles out, our check engine light came on. At home, no problem, we know where to bring our 2012 Outback. But, over 500 miles from home...ummmm...oh boy! We search Yelp for Subaru dealers and gave them a call to explain our predicament. All they can promise is "we'll try" & "be patient". Patience is not our strength. So, we go back to Yelp and find the Suby Doctors. Great reviews, never been to North Charleston...oh heck, we got to try something. Walked in and spoke to Mike. He immediately says he could take a quick computer reading from the car to see if it was anything serious. He came out a few minutes later and did just that. All I can say was wow! Brilliant! In five minutes Mike properly diagnosed this wasn't anything dangerous, explained the cause, set our minds at ease, reset the warning light, and sent us on our way. BTW...without charging us. We continued our trip, and drove another 800 miles so far without incident. We certainly appreciate the customer service, and most of all the integrity we were shown. BTW...we just bought a home in the CHS area, and now we have a go-to place to bring out car. Thank you! read more

I'm on my 5th Subaru and prefer to use small shops like this, I feel you get a more one on one with the mechanic...and that's what I got here. Our 19 year old Subaru needed A new headlight... Not bad for 19 years with the same headlight. I made the appointment, dropped the vehicle off and it was fixed faster than expected. Best part was not the fact that it was cheaper than going to the dealership, but that I got to talk to the mechanic who worked on my car directly. I'll be returning here from now on for my scheduled maintenance read more

Nothing but rave reviews for this place! We had some issues with our car, and are from out of town, so naturally I panicked. The crew at Suby was super polite, got us in quickly, and checked our concerns for us. They were so helpful and courteous, and I am thankful it went so well while we were on vacation. read more

We found Suby Doctors because we needed a pre-purchase inspection on a used car. They took time to do an inspection, explain what they thought needed fixing and how much it would cost. The did this all for free. Mike and his crew are awesome. We also brought the car in for an inspection before a 1000 drive. They never charge to look at an issue, they only charge when they fix something. A couple of times he fixed "small stuff" and didn't even charge us. They take the time to thoroughly explain what they found and what their recommendation is for fixing the issue. Their prices are reasonable. It's clear from the time Mike takes with you that he cares about his work and his customers. read more

We travelles all the way from the south most state of the US to Charleston when suddenly outr corsstrek ac motor fan acted on us. There seems to be only Subby Doctors well trusted here in Charleston SC for subaru cars. We tried it, they were swamped and yet accomodated us. They checked our vehicle and advised us that its something very critical and suggested to take it back to the dealer where we got it since it still seems to be under warranty. Wow! They are not all about money. You got my 5 star rating for honesty, accomodating us and courtesy to customers. read more

I highly recommend this place. We are driving cross country and some warning lights came on in my impreza and i needed to replace my brake light switch. They were super friendly and got me in and out quickly. They are also extremely reasonable with their prices and very knowledgable. They even let our dogs hang out inside while they were working on the car. read more

Outstanding! The people who work here are honest and will never steer you wrong. Very laid back professionals. I purchased my first Subaru from here and love it. read more

Correct address: 2940 Rivers Ave. Had an issue with my head light. When they found out it was a Pontiac, they told me they couldn't guarantee they could fix it. But they took a look anyway. Turned out to be a loose connection. I was in and out in 15 minutes and the guy wished me a merry Christmas. No charge. Great service! read more

Was pulling onto the Ravenel when I ran over something in the road. Huge spike in my tire, air coming out fast. Of course I didn't have my jack. Couldn't make it over the bridge so I off road edit through a field and quickly made it to Suby Doctors before I ran out of air. The guy in the garage went Nascar on my Jeep and I was back on the road in no time. Didn't even charge me. Made it to the beach with plenty of daylight left. Thanks guys. read more

These guys are the best. Very trustworthy honest and quick. The only place I would take my Subaru in Charleston to have work done

THE BEST! I had issues with a recent 2010 Subaru purchase and Mike and his team worked really hard it was a painless process for me dealing with a rental company, my insurance adjusters, etc. If you own a Subaru in the Charleston area this is the ONLY place you should go! Honest, polite, and prompt! Thank you, Suby Doctors! read more

Mike Key is a small businessman whose credo is "servicing the customer" I have been a customer of Mikes' for several years with my 2010 Subaru at Suby Brothers.He prides himself on honest quality service. He goes that extra step and what a difference that makes with the lives of his customers. It surely did for me in my move to the west coast. He takes that extra step which has almost been lost in today's world. Thank you Mike read more

Suby Doctors is well worth the trip from Summerville to downtown. They are knowledgeable, courteous, and very professional. They do excellent work at very fair prices. They know Subarus and will take the time to talk with you. read more

Absolutely, hands down, the best auto shop in the state. I have been taking my Suby here for the last 6 years, first for an oil change, then for spark plug replacements, regular inspections, ect. I knew from the first visit that this place was top notch. The staff is incredibly knowledgable and friendly. They show you what is wrong with your car and educate you on your options. They are an honest company. They are honest people. And they are dedicated to "patient"/customer satisfaction. Definitely would recommend to every Suby owner :) read more

We had just arrived in Charleston for an extended vacation when the check engine light came on in my Forester. Not knowing anyone I could ask for a recommendation on a mechanic, I Googled "Subaru repairs," found Suby Doctors, and decided to take a chance. They were very professional in handling the whole situation, from a phone consultation about the problem to setting up an appointment. Turns out, it was a minor problem which required no immediately repair. They reset the check engine light and did not charge. We were quite grateful to find such a professional. Plus, we got good directions for getting back to our condo and a great recommendation on a hair salon! read more
