Good snowy afternoon My 2007 Impreza (non WRX) has developed an RPM dependant whine. It sounds like a power steering whine but it doesn't change in sound when I turn the wheels. I flushed the power steering fluid and it looked clean with no shavings. It sounds like it coming from either the alternator or AC compressor area. My car only has 65,000 miles. Now I do not want to start throwing parts at it, I figure I would bring it in. Are there any trusted non-chain shops that does straight repair work on these cars? Any help is appreciated as my trusted mechanic just shut his doors down at the beginning of the year.
https://www.jmautomn.com/ Go see Jesse and the guys at JM. They do everything from maintenance to custom builds and tuning.
My top recommendation, which also happens to be somewhat close to you, is Pat Doyle at DG Auto Repair and Service (South St. Paul). He was a former mechanic at a Subaru dealer and opened up his own shop a few years back. Nice guy, very clean, well-organized shop, and fair prices. Tell them that Jordan that had the white STI sent you
Anyone have suggestions for around the Roseville (and surrounding) areas? Not necessary specializing in Subarus but just a solid shop that I can take for minor stuff or drop by if I have any issues.
