Subaru Community

Hi,
quite a few of us speak english, but right out of my head I can not help you with one living in the Berlin area. As I am from Essen it is a bit away. I´m not even sure whether there are so many clubmember in Berlin at all. A quick search in the forum did not yield anything. Fitty and strexe are in the Berlin area, but I can not say if they are happy with their dealership (iirc, at least strexe is not).

The best place to buy parts would be the uk

Hi Martin!

First of all welcome on board!

Zitat

my first Impreza, is a GT from the 99

Good choice (do own a MY99 wagon)

I think english is not the main issue here (even though this is a german board and we urge people to write in German).
Your request for a "cheap and good mechanic in Berlin..." is the point. There is no common solution and there is still discussion going on where to go for service in here and here.

Because Subarus and especially the turbos are rather rare on german streets good service is not that easy to find.
Some even advise you to drive 100Km for repair (sometimes not possible ).
Do you have experience in working on cars? May be it's an option to do typical service by yourself.
Where are you located? There are plenty of DIY workshops in the city - Drei-Tiger being my favorite atm.

If you like to have further talk send me a PN with your phone number and I'll get back to you.

Where to buy basically depends on the parts needed.
There are selected shops that deal from basic stuff like brake pads up to quite heavily modified engines.
Sometimes even direct imports from Japan and USA are an option. UK is also great for parts.

As a starting point have a look at links (not complete, if in doubt ask in advance).

There have been meetings in Berlin at the Meilenwerk on occasion.
More national and international meetings can be found in http://www.subaru-community.com/treffen/…al-und-national
