Knowledgeable, trustworthy and honest! This is where Subaru owners should take their Subaru for repair and maintenance! After I purchased a used Subaru in December 2017 I began using this shop and although I do most of my own general maintenance this is still where I take my Subaru for major repairs! When I've spoken to other customers there they're always sharing with me how satisfied they are with the service they've received here. I was told that I had bad head gaskets at another shop, but found out that I only need an O-ring to repair an oil leak and this is just one of the reasons that I'll continue to take my Subaru here from now on!

The a/c failed a week later, I was out $92 dollars, and didn't have time to drop my car off for another 7-14 days for service. This guy has a good reputation, but I was honestly disappointed

Eric is the best Subaru mechanic in Richmond. You will often see people from out of state come to him for service for his unbeatable combination of knowledge, skill, and price.

Eric was wonderful!! Honest and upfront....  He went above and beyond.

The repairs were performed on my son's vehicle.  A AAA approved repair shop had given him an estimate of $7-9K!

His turnaround time is not the fastest, but that is because he is so much in demand.  But he lets you know ahead of time as to how long it will take so that there are no surprises.  

Will keep using him as long as the Subaru runs....  Very impressed!

Great!  I was distraught over Pence Subaru's quote for $2900.00 to replace the head gasket, I knew they were way overpriced based on previous quotes I've had.  I found out about Subie Guy and he did a lot more work for a whole lot less.  I'll never go back Pence Subaru b/c I found the Subie Guy.

The Subie Guy (aka Eric Hicks) was recommended to me by one Subaru dealership's mechanic and another Subaru dealership's salesman. He has taken care of two of my Subaru's for a couple of years, ever since those recommendations.
These repairs were only the latest in a series of problems he had identified. He looked the car over thoroughly several visits back and prioritized the work required to ensure a safe vehicle. The more pressing needs had been resolved in the earlier visits.
The head gasket work was done quickly with no surprises on my part. Eric explained what he had to do, how long it probably would take, and how much it would cost. He even finished a little earlier than expected. The car has about 155,000 miles and -- with the problems he has rectified -- he said he expects the car to go another 155,000 with normal maintenance.

Eric (The Subie Guy) addressed all the issues. He changed the oil, cleaned up the bottom of the car, and recommended all the other maintenance items that Sheehy should have been doing to keep the car running properly but had ignored. He got the car in great shape took care of the smell and he did it for a great price in my opinion. I thought he was courteous, attentive and honest. He really is good with Subaru's and is probably better than any dealership for Subie's for miles. I will definitely be taking my car there for any future services.
