Extensive 100,000+ mile maintenance

The employees at SubiWorx are Subaru enthusiasts and extremely knowledgeable about Subaru vehicles. They work exclusively on Subaru vehicles. The price for which they performed all the maintenance below was very reasonable. After the work was performed my car ran and rode like new. It has been 3 months and 5000 miles since the work was performed and the car is running/riding perfectly. 522 of these trouble-free miles was a vacation trip with the car packed to the rafters, (yeah we probably overloaded it) from Phoenix to the White Mountains in July heat. No problems at all, great trip. At the time the work was performed, my 2003 Forester had over 105000 miles on it. I have performed most of the normal month to month maintenance over its long life (oil and filters). It had been a trouble free 105000 miles, but after all that time and all those miles; all four struts were at end of life, needed replacement, and the suspension rode rough and clunked. The timing belt was due for replacement; and it is recommended that the timing belt idlers, the timing belt cog, the timing belt tensioner, the water pump, the thermostat, hoses, belts, and of course coolant, be replaced when replacing the timing belt. Also the transmission fluids were due for replacement. It also was overdue for a tune-up; plugs & wires. All the research that I performed informed me that all this maintenance work was going to cost me a pile of money. Knowing what the dealers charge I was reluctant to take it to them, thinking that as much time/miles as my 2003 Forester had on it, I might be better off using the money I would spend at a dealer for all this maintenance as a down-payment on a new Forester instead. I was reluctant to take my 2003 Forester to an independent mechanic, as the Subaru vehicles would seem to me to require a more specialized expertise. I did some research on the web and discovered SubiWorx. They had extraordinary good reviews, which I find they have rightfully earned after the
