New to hawaii: trustworthy shops?
Hi!
I'm coming from the Bay and my car is being shipped as I'm typing. I'm just wondering if anybody can tell me if the subaru dealership is trustworthy with regular maintenance or are there other shops that actually know about wrx's and can work on my car, if anything should happen.
Even though I drive a wrx, I'm a girl and I don't really know much about my car and don't want to be ripped off. I know people in the bay that totally helped me out, but don't have connections in Hawaii.
Please help!?

Welcome. Personally I only trust a handful of people in Oahu with my car. 1st make friends here and you will be surprised on how helpful people are here.
As for the Subaru dealership and service center, IMO top notch.

Well actually I did change the starter, bought a new battery, and it worked fine for a week. Then started doing it again and my moms mechanic said it was probably that switch. Changed it and the cars been running fine for the past month almost. Yay =)
