My dealer, Matt Sapp Subaru, in Newark, DE seems to have a pretty good
shop. It was completely upgraded a couple of years ago.

Thanks Frank. I'm hoping to find something a little closer to home.

Equally important might be who NOT to go to so I will offer this. My
dealer is A & T Subaru in Sellersville, PA. Overall friendly staff but it
seems that there is always something wrong or not resolved after my
visits.

I've gotten the usual "not able to reproduce" on a couple of my complaints
but more irritating even is things like I had a gas filler door replaced
once and they damaged the body of the car - they repaired it but I worked
with them an really bent over backwards working with thier body shop to
get the work done & got nothing extra for A LOT of inconvenience. Also, I
recently had some warranty work done replacing on a speaker and not only
did they damage a door panel repairing the speaker but when I rescheduled
to get that repaired they put the door back together poorly and now there
is a fastener & an access cover that keep coming out so I'll be revisiting
them to deal with those issues.

I will say their body shop is AWESOME. Unfortunately I've had to use them
twice now on my 2003 Baja and they do great work, for a great price -
including paintless dent repair.

I've had pretty good luck with Glanzman Subaru in Jenkintown and
Colonial in Feasterville. Glanzman does nothing but Subies, while
Colonial is a VW/Subaru dealer. I'd give the edge to Glanzman. Also, if
you work in the city, they'll drop you off at the Jenkintown train
station so you can commute in. If you bought your Subaru there they do
free loaners, too (we bought both our OBWs at Colonial).

Thanks Brian. I think I've heard good things about Glanzman before.
I'm a home inspector, so I need the car for my work, or a loaner that
I can put a 28 foot extension ladder on top of. On another group I've
gotten the name of a good Subaru mechanic here in Roxborough.
