Our Owner & Service Manager Paul Staebler has developed his expertise since 2014 as a full-time Subaru automotive technician. As a reviewer stated, "This is a GREAT Subaru shop that is ever expanding. Paul really knows Subaru … repairs are expedient … workmanship is still top notch. He works on your vehicle like it’s his and it really shows. Keep it up, Strictly Subie!!"

The Basics

Some basic services we provide include oil changes, work on brakes, wheel bearings, light suspension work (sway links, ball joints, struts), light exhaust work, and sensor replacement. Quality aftermarket parts are available here, as well as OEM parts on order. As we’re not a tire shop, we outsource tire work. We do basic engine diagnostics for you, and if something exceeds our in-house expertise, we can send it to Subaru.

For other internal engine services such as valve replacement work, timing belt replacement, or any work on an H6 engine, call or text Paul at (563) 518-0333 for a quote.
