ya thats way too far though i just want a basic check to make sure there are no major mechanical issues or electrical problems because one of the HIDs was out and a tail light but the guy said a cable for the HID kit needed to be replaced or something

PJ's automotive in Santa Rosa is a very reputable shop that will not steer you wrong. They've done some work on our Subarus and have always been fairly priced.
