Ottawa repairs

[paid2fish]

Just moved to Ottawa and looking for a reputable Subaru mechanic. Any
suggestions? The wife turned on the wipers first thing in the morning the
other day and "pop", the drivers side wiper won't move.
Thanks

Dunno about Subarus, but in many cars the failure of one wiper is in the
connection between the post and the wiper arm. You can check if it is popped
off, and if so, it probably presses back on. Be sure to get the position
about right before pressing it.

My learning on the subject is: make sure the wipers are free and there is no
ice on the windshield before turning the wipers on.

We have used both of the authorised Subaru dealers with great success:
Westboro Subaru
Ogilvie Motors
Over 330,000 kms in total with no major repairs. Not bad for 11 years with
two Subarus, a Loyale for 8 years and now a Legacy for 3.
Cheers,
