ballitch Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Too bad I never heard of this richierich before, could have used him like a year and a half ago when my 86 GL blew HG's and went to crap, best part; a place in Lake Oswego that works on subes said i sucked a damn valve, only all my valves were fine when i took block apart, but my HG's weren't.

I'd post it if I could remember it.....darn senior moments..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Richie's site is here: http://www.superiorimportrepair.com/page.htm The page is still under construction, but it has some basic info on it. I have taken afew of my cars to Richie and I find him to be the most reasonable/ethical mechanic I have ever encountered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 My parents use a guy just east of Sandy that really knows his stuff also. Although that would be a bit of a drive for you. If you're interested, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftt Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 There's Mountain Tech Subaru in Oregon City. I've never taken anything there, as I do my own stuff, but I did buy a Japanese import EA71 from them. The owner was very friendly and pleasant to deal with. I'm very satisfied with the engine he sold me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Jerry and Ben at Mountain tech are good. They have been doing Soobs for years. But I do find them overpriced. Richie is great, he's a member of this board and does quality work. I would check him out. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
