I've heard good things about Art's Automative. I just went with a newer subaru (was just an oil/filter change), but place really struck me as high quality with no penchant for upselling on unnecessary work (we first heard of Art's because a friend was impressed when they talked her down from a repair that some other place had said was needed). Almost flawless yelp reviews, too.
We have used Art's Automotive on San Pablo, just north of Ashby, for over a decade for our Subaru and Toyota. They only work on Japanese cars and we really like them. Professional, polite, educated, prompt and never seem to be unreasonable. They explain things, give options and seem quite honest. They will tell you when they aren't the cheapest but explain why. We have had nothing but excellent service there. We just sold our Subaru after owning it for 15 years and nothing they repaired ever went wrong. Best wishes.
Chris at Oceanworks 2 runs a really good garage. I've been taking my Subaru there for years after becoming disenchanted with arts automotive. As a woman, I have always been treated fairly and respectfully by Chris, and my car is well cared for.
Steve's Auto Care on San Pablo in El Cerrito, near the del Norte Bart station. Honest, reasonably priced, and they know what they are doing. I have been taking my Subarus there for 15 years or so.
