The Subie Shop is amazing. Subarus are their specialty, so I know my car is receiving a careful and discerning eye when getting looked at.I trust them to not only make repairs and perform maintenance, but to give me straightforward and honest feedback on my vehicle. They are a two person, husband and wife operation, and they are by far the best place I take my Subaru to. I will be returning for many years, Thank you!!

I cannot recommend Justin enough! He does great work and is incredibly kind! He diagnosed my issue, explained everything to me, and was very up front with what it was going to cost. He fit my car in on a very busy day so it could be seen ASAP, which he absolutely did not have to do.If you are in the area and have a Subaru—come to The Subie Shop!

Incredible business to work with! Justin is a vert talented mechanic and his office sidekick is also amazing. In a time when its rare to feel any control about where your hard earned money goes the opportunity to do business with folks like these is rare, so if you have a Subaru and are in the Cenn penn area check these folks out, you will leave feeling good about doing business.

This is by far the best shop I have ever been just because they are honest and treat you well, not like some dealerships that only see your money. Justin is a great guy and really take care of the cars. I wish it was closer to the State College area but it's ok.

Amazing, affordable local mechanic! Justin is honest, very knowledgeable, and never tries to upsell repairs, only fixing what truly needs to be fixed. He is also happy to explain what is wrong with the car and provides a full list of options/prices before proceeding with any repair work. I once brought in my aging Forester for a disturbing grinding noise coming from one of the wheels. After a few minutes of examination, Justin removed a pebble from the brake pad and sent me on my way with no charge!My next car will probably be another Subaru just so I can keep taking it to The Subie Shop. If you have a Subaru in Central PA, this is the ONLY place you need for inspections and repairs.Services: Vehicle Inspection

Come here if you have a Subaru. Was recommended by another local and I can't give this place enough praise, been coming here for about two years now. The guy used to work for a Subie dealership, realized he could do it himself with the same level of expertise but minus the eye gouging costs, opened his own shop and treats people like humans, not numbers. 10/10 will keep servicing here as long as my car lets me. The receptionist is hilarious too. She remembered me!Services: General repairs & maintenance

I have a 2006 Subaru Baja. The rear subframe rusted out to the point where I could no longer drive the car. They could not find a new replacement due to being a disconnected frame. I was able to find a used frame in California. They said as long the frame came off of a Baja they would swap it out for me. They did it in the time stated at the price stated.Very knowledgeable!They ONLY work on Subaru's.They are a small 1 mechanic business so be patient. They do super work!I highly recommend them.

I drove in without an appointment because my 2004 Legacy started making a scraping noise during my long drive to New York. Justin the mechanic was very busy, but he took the time to try what he could to get me back on the road. It turned out to be nothing more improperly torqued lug nuts. He’s a genius! And he didn’t even charge me. I wish I lived nearby just so he could he my mechanic.

I was driving up to visit my friend from Washington DC, on the way I got a low oil level warning. When I got here, I took my car to Justin to have it looked at. He took 15 minutes out of his day to drive around a bit and look for any noticeable problems. Luckily it turned out to be nothing serious, but he gave me some useful tips for down the road. In the end he did not charge me anything. From my experience and the reviews here, I'd they all speak to his character and generosity.

Fantastic, not only did what we fixed our Suburu. They found issues were going to be issues down the road.

I can't recommend the Subie Shop enough. Justin is the most knowledgeable Subaru technician that I've ever come across. He's friendly and always transparent. Plus, he puts up with me. Give him a call and he'll be sure to take excellent care of your Subaru.
