Re: Subaru Forester regular maintenance
I have a 2000 Outback and have been taking it to Torchio's in downtown oakland. they are on webster and 23rd. Mike Bott is the owner and he has saved me a bundle by performing only what is needed and not installing replacement assemblies when only a repair is needed. Their phone is (510) 451-3272 Stu

Does anyone have a recommendation for an honest car mechanic near the Dimond/Fruitvale district? We have an old beater Toyota Tacoma truck that needs some attention. Our previous mechanic retired. Will tavel further for the right mechanic!

Re: Maintenance shop for Acura MDX
I have a Subaru and have taken it to Torchio's 2344 Webster St Oakland, CA 94612-3116 (510) 451-3272. Mike, the owner, has found ways to fix things without having to order entire new assemblies, a process many dealers employ. Give him a try Stu
