Holy moly - 1000% agree with the last review that the quotes for work here are astronomical. I have…read morea 2015 Subaru Crosstrek. I ran OBII and knew the transmission was a problem. Given that it is a CVT, I knew I was in for a world of hurt. At A&A, I was charged $400 for a transmission only diagnostic first and foremost. Then I was quoted $15k for a new transmission and vvt solenoid ($11k transmission, $4k solenoid). I wasn't even offered the option of a used, low mileage transmission, and after talking to multiple other mechanics that price for the solenoids is outlandish. New solenoids cost roughly $350, and they're not exceedingly complicated to install. If you do go here, which I would not recommend based on the price of the diagnostic alone, I would recommend asking for a second opinion. There aren't a ton of shops that will rebuild a Subaru transmission, but Proven Auto in Anchorage has been wonderful to work with.

I had purchased a replacement part that I hoped would work. Well, this eager young man was there in a day and made clever modifications to complete the repair without problems.

Now the car is unable to work and will be $11,000 for a new engine or $500 to sell. This is unacceptable and atrocious work! Another issue that happened with them was my other car was brought in to fix my heat and they didn't fix the fuel pump, which led to all my gas leaking out. Under no circumstances should you go here. They will purposefully ruin your cars.

I spoke with John the owner and he said take a picture of your mower and I think we can fix you up. He is ex-Army paratrooper and full of energy. He had a replacement catcher almost brand new fo $20 bucks. He s very busy guy but very kind and customer oriented. He treated this disabled Army pilot with respect and thanked me for my service. There is an incredible inventory of used and repaired gas engine powered equipment of all kinds. I would be amazed if he doesn't have what you need in the way of parts, service and repairs. Folks who complain about this business probably have unreasonable expectations such as repairs of seasonal equipment. Obviously you might have a bit of a wait. Plan ahead !!
