Gary Lang and Roto aren't bad. Schaumburg is ok too but they never seem to keep any of their mechanics long so if its major stuff they may not be the best place as they may not be very experienced. If you don't need a dealer but want a very experienced Sube mechanic go to Import Motors in Schaumburg. John Naltsas is one of the few Subaru Senior Master Techs in the Chicago area, he used to be in charge at the Schaumburg Audi/Subaru dealer till a few years ago when they dropped Subaru.The present Schaumburg Subaru dealer techs are always having to call him up for advice. |

Mike: Denino's and Ralph's sounds great. Then maybe an outing at a SI Yankees or Brooklyn Cyclones game. Vin: I'm ready to switch to synth in the tranny and diffs (already did Mobil 1 in the engine -- sorry). What Amsoil should I use in my 02 OBW w/auto, and maybe you can e-mail your numnber to discuss further. E-mail is jlemole  comcast.net

Don't know much about World Subaru. I went to Somerset Subaru a few years ago and they were very good. I ended up switching to Flemington because Somerset is closed Saturdays. Flemington will also do minor repairs on Saturday while some dealers only do oil changes. Flemington and Somerset both go by the book and don't have add-ons. I live in northern Middlesex County and make the drive to Flemington for service on two Subaru's. Much better than the dealers closer to me. It's also easy to speak with the Service Manager, shop foreman and dealership owner. -Dennis |

Jon, I have not tried World; I ususally make the trip out to Flemington. In the 3 years I've been using them I have had no problems. They seem to stay on top of things and don't pull the "that happens to Subaru" line other dealers do. A SI/Bklyn meet sounds good! Mark |

| Nice to hear from you guys again. A meet at Denino's/Ralphs sounds great, (I live right around the corner). I am looking forward to going to the Flemington dealership, right now everything is doing ok on the Subie, so it might be a while. | |
| Jon, Amsoil TGR or AGR 75w/90 in rear, and final drive, Amsoil ATF (product code) in Auto.Trans. and Power Steering will give nice performance, and great protection to your Outback. I will email you with other info. | |

I have to get in touch with you for some Amsoil stuff I think. -mike |

I just got my 02 OBW back from World for replacement of the oil pump seal and crankshaft seal. They seem pretty good, knowledgeable, etc. In fact, they may be the only dealer I've ever used that actually called me to tell me the car was ready (and it was done by early afternoon to boot!). At 19K miles everything done under warranty. They also replaced my driver's door panel under warranty (I leaned on the armrest too hard and cracked it). I'm gonna get a few more service visits with them, and I'll report back. At my pace, I be doing a 22,500K service real soon. Their 30K menu looks like it contains a lot of extras at $385.00, and that's w/o a tranny fluid and coolant drain. Might see if I can get a cheaper price a la carte. P.S. They're about 50 minutes from SI w/o traffic, GSP exit 109. Better yet, only 15 minutes from my home. Vin-- thanks for the Amsoil info. I look forward to your e-mail. I'm really keen on making the switch now. BTW, do you know a competent local independent that can change em' out for me? |
