Greetings
Looking for a mechanic in Truckee to do timing belt tensioner and was hoping someone here could suggest a reputable place.
My apologies for reaching out to via seccs.org but I'd rather ask a fellow suby owners for advice. We are stranded and need to get moving.
Many thanks,
Brian

We have a member on here that lives in Truckee and he swears all the shops there are hacks. He (and most other members here) take their cars to KSpeed in Reno. Might be worth the tow.

I don't have any experience with the shops in Truckee either. I have heard mixed reviews for most of them. I wouldn't be comfortable recommending a particular shop.

If I had to let a shop here molest my car, it would be Ward and sons. Otherwise Kspeed is the only one who gets to cornhole my car besides me
