I bought a 2000 Outback from CitySide Subaru in Arlington MA a little over a year ago.. Dealing with CitySide was very reasonable and they have been fine for service so far. I did not enjoy my experiences with some of the other local Subie dealerships.   My OB has the LSD because I got the winter package. It has plenty of power (although I don't do any towing) and gets very good gas mileage (28 mpg highway in the summer, around 25 in the winter).   My wife drives a '95 Camry wagon, which has been a fine car. A Toyota salesman told me they stopped making wagons because the only place they sold well was here in New England, and of course because they wanted to push the SUVs.   Stan

Bought my 01OB ltd at Concord/Acton at $300 over invoice. I've only had the 3K service, and they were prompt and quick, even washed the car. I'd like to hear if anyone had problems with them.
#33 of 326 Bay Area Dealers by kens Mar 20, 2001 (8:06 am)
Wow, didn't even notice this new topic.   My best Subaru service experience has been with Santa Cruz Subaru. Extremely friendly and professional team. I would even go as far to say that they have been the best service I have ever received from any dealership. For those of you who live in the Bay Area, it's worth the drive over the "hill" to Santa Cruz.   Other Bay Area dealers:   Stevens Creek -- Absolutely the worst. Service has deteriorated to new lows recently due to high staff turnover. I once brought my vehicle in for service and it just sat there all day because they were "too busy" to get around to it!   Carlsen -- Not too bad, but I would expect better from the largest volume dealer in CA. They provide free loaners when you bring your vehicle in for big service intervals (30k, 60k, etc.).   Oakland -- Average. They also service Toyotas.   Marin -- Heard some positive feedback from a friend who had his Forester looked at there.   Hope that helps,   Ken

ken: i am in san fran right now(myself and two of my friends are on a road trip to texas) and i need to have my oil changed. it is 11:30 PM and tomorrow we are on our way south. are there any good places in the bay area where i can walk in and get an oil change. i've heard bad stories about Q-lube and shops like that. I just need a cheap oil change and i can't wait all day.   i posted this in another forum, i didn't see this one.

Seamus,   I've tried several quick-lube places in the Bay Area. So far, all of the places I have been to has done the job right -- no overfilling. Here's a list of places I've been to:   Jiffy Lube - San Mateo, around 25th Ave on El Camino Chevron Oil Stop - San Mateo, corner of El Camino and 20th Jiffy Lube - Cupertino, Wolfe and Stevens Creek   Most of these places will charge about $30 for an oil change.   If you want, you could also try calling some of the dealers in the area. They might be able to take you for an oil change "while you wait".   Ron Price: South San Francisco, 650-589-9788 Carlsen Subaru: Redwood City, (650) 365-6390 Santa Cruz Subaru: Santa Cruz, (831) 420-1500   Ken
#37 of 326 Oil Change by flj168 Mar 23, 2001 (2:37 pm)
I have some very good service from Wins ton Tires in Day City for oil change and a free tire rotation. With a coupon in the mail, it's around $20. I usually bring my own oil filter.   red

we took care of it this morning. we had the little stands to put my car up on but we needed a jack to put it up that high. that is when i remembered i had one in my car. underneath our backpacks was a 4000 pound jack. a quick run to the auto parts store and an hour later we were on our way. we made it as far as tuscon, a friend of ours is from here so we have a place to stay. on to texas tomorrow.   thanks for the invite bitman.
#39 of 326 RI Area Service by hsilva Mar 29, 2001 (9:59 am)
Anyone have any experiences with service in the Rhode Island Area? Just bought a new Forester and will probably use the dealer I bought it from, but would like any feedback on area service. Thanks.
#40 of 326 a good place to change tires in the Bay Area? by kate5000 Apr 09, 2001 (6:15 am)
no, not for my Forester (yet). But hubby's Accord needs a new set of rubber badly... In the past, we used large chains (Grand Auto, Pep Boys) but it proved to be chancy: one time they did a good job, another time they screwed up.
