psucaptainkickass Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Totally fine if this doesn't work out, but is there a good shop I can take my LGT to for valve cover gasket replacement? It would be short notice (tomorrow). If it works cool, if not I'll just be leaking oil some more until I can get it done in NoVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong672 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Nothing I can advise of off hand. However I was quoted by a dealership at $750 to do the job. Mainly due to the too mount and everything else that needs removed to get to it. I bought the parts and was gonna do mine myself, but I don't have the time. Sorry this wasn't really much help. I'd also be interested if anyone has any suggestions. I'd like to get my plugs and wires replaced as well. Again, I have those parts, just a matter of finding a decently priced shop to do the work.

psucaptainkickass Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Definitely was trying to bonus off the visit to York , but it's ok. I am going to end up getting it done at Mach V next week in NoVA. $750 is straight up theft. Any shop is around half that to do both drivers and passenger side covers.

Billabong672 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yea there's a reason why we call them "stealership's". At that price I might as well start looking to buy a whole new engine and rebuild that. Anyway, sorry to hear you didn't have much luck. Let us know how things went at MachV.

doobaruGT Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Pm me and I'll send you to the guy I use. I paid $500 but that was a steal for the peace it gave me knowing a certified Subaru mechanic did the work. Updated parts list since original part-out here. Original Full part-out of my LGT HERE!

doobaruGT Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 IAG in Westminster, MD I would think they would be a little on the salty side but they definitely do quality work.

T_Altland27 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What shop are you talking about here in York? Not apple Subaru I hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobaruGT Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I personally know a tech from Apple who helps me out on the side. Sounds like the work is covered in NOVA though. There are only a handful of places in York I would trust in York anyway. Updated parts list since original part-out here. Original Full part-out of my LGT HERE!

Billabong672 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I was speaking of apple, on rt 30. They spotted the leak, I had it verified by another shop that I'm leaking oil, but didn't say exactly where from. My car was in for a steering rack (roughly $2,600 repair) when they said about the leak. I bought the car up in Lancaster, and it's been a pile of crap ever since. Which is sad, because it would make for a very nice family car if it didn't constantly need to go in the shop for repairs. I swear, if I didn't need to repair so muh stuff on it, I'd already have it paid off. Btw, said shop is Kiem on rt 72. As far as I'm concerned, they sell junk cars for top dollar.

Billabong672 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yea it is what it is. Luckily this thing ended up in someone's hands who is willing to get it fixed up the way it needs to be. It makes me sad when people neglect their cars. Thanks for the tip about searching the forums. I have found a DIY on valve cover gasket replacement. As stated before, I have the gaskets, plugs and wires, only thing I need is time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
