Specialized Subaru Transmission Expertise

in Kent, WA

Our shop was built on Subaru experience. Mark Bryant, Independent Subaru Guru, began his career at Aaron's Auto Wrecking, later co-founded Brian's Subaru Clinic, and has since spent decades mastering every aspect of Subaru repair and rebuilds.


Our team brings over 70 years of combined Subaru experience.

We handle all Subaru transmission types—manual, automatic, and CVT—using OEM parts and precision diagnostic tools.

Every technician is ASE-certified (or equivalent in experience), and all are former dealership mechanics now enjoying the freedom to focus on quality, not quotas.
