Primp my car

Austin/SubaruFilter. I'm in Austin TX and drive a Subaru. It's time for its 30,000-mile tune-up, and it probably needs some work. Obviously I could take it to the dealer, but I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a local shop, particularly one specializing in Subarus.
The Car Talk guys have a database of recommended mechanics and reviews.

My dad is a mechanic and I know a little bit about local shops, etc. (but not Subaru, sorry). I looked at Car Talk and their list is not very exhaustive, and I probably would not recommend it if you reallly want to find info on what all is out there.

Register at the North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club and check out the Texas Impreza Club Forum. The Texas club is a subforum of the other main forum. Even if you don't have an Impreza, I bet they can help. Or, if you want, Google Subaru forum (and maybe add the model you own to the search) to find a forum tailored to you and your car.

I've heard good things about Rising Sun, and a mechanic friend of ours recommended Waynes World of Autos in Round Rock (maybe technically Pflugerville). We trusted Wayne with some work on our Civic and I fully recommend him. Plus, he answers the phone with "Wayne's World, this is Wayne..."
