Looking for a shop

Hi again,

Before you ask, yes I looked on Yelp and asked some groups on Facebook. But I am looking for a Subaru Shop in Orange County, CA to replace my motor. Maybe someone here can recommend a place I missed? Straight drop in motor, all accessories are on it. I have reached out to a few last week but I have not gotten a response as of yet. The closer to OC the better!

Thanks a lot!

What happened to <3 Dawn's shop? Can't they do installs?

I do not mind them replacing it, but they are about 120 miles from me and tow on average is $3 a mile (some even $7 a mile). It ends up being cheaper if I have him drop the motor off (after being built) to a shop closer to me.

uhaul.

free 400hp is the rallying cry of every subaru shop

I have no experience with them, but I remember msprank mentioning them in another post a few years back

Um. I spoke to Jeremy at Outfront Motorsports, the definitive knowledge source for all things Subaru engine related regardless of continent of origin. He says "why would you want to do that? Tell him it wont work". Then he says, "if he pays you to do it have him sign that your not responsible before proceeding".

 

Then he proceeds to laugh and go on about all the sand cars he has built (and that I have worked on) with locked cams and unplugged solenoids.

 

Just trying to save you the grief. All you have to do is leave the exhaust avcs solenoids unplugged.

outfront is a good shop especially if you want a high hp build. They have done 1000hp time attack builds. Not going to be backwoods pricing tho.

I'd have them do the whole thing. You'll get a kickass car

Thanks. I reached out to them but they do not install sadly.

Thanks. Pricing starts at around 6K (OEM build) if I remember. Does not include installation which is about 800-1200 extra at shops.

did you call any of these shops?

Holy moly! Thank you for that! More than half those places do not even exist anymore, but found some places that still are and close to me. Going to give them a call.
