well if the sound goes away when i turn off the a/c does that mean it still could be a belt? could i just spray some wd-40 on the compressor? haha cuz when the a/c is on and the compressor rotates it kinda locks up at some points and pauses for a second. ahh i have no idea. im a noob when it comes to cars...

It'll cost you nothing to have a "professional" tell you what's wrong.
That only works with you.

DBtuned will not rip you off. Diagnostic usually cost any normal place grip just to LOOK and figure out the problem. Paul does it for free, that is already a savings of $100 at least. The rest is up to Paul's Discretion. Again, he will not rip you off. He will TELL you exactly what will cost what IF he has to do it.
If he can figure out a way to fix the problem with a part that we can do ourselves, he'll let us know. He did that with my gas cap. This guy will take care of you, your car, and he is 110% explicit with charges. NEVER have I once heard a complaint about him. He is nice and will fix your car as cheap as possible with OEM parts. You can't ask for anything more than that. Absolutely cheaper than a SUBARU dealership.
He also throws in a plumbers crack when he has to bend low, so be prepared for a peep show every now n' then. LoL
