Best place for car maintenance in Sacramento

Hi there,

Just relocated from Boston to North of Sacramento. Still have our 2001 Legacy. Wanted to find out from those of you in the area where's the best place to bring my car for maintenance. Or should I just head to a dealership?

Recently, I have a CEL and found out the code is a cylinder 3 misfire. Car is shuddering during quick accelerations. I guess it's time to change the spark plug with 68K miles. Or maybe it's a faulty injector. Hopefully it's just the plug. I thought these spark plugs are supposed to last for a while. Aren't these platinum tipped plugs?

BTW, I think I'll eventually trade in this car for a 07/08 LGT. I have seen only one LGT since I relocated in Dec but lots of STIs. Where are the LGT owners?

Thanks.

I kinda like the one in Rocklin better...every time I go to the Roseville DBTuned the bad guy who works on cars tries to touch me in private places.

Thx
