Boxer Motor Works

I wanted to let you all know the 5 star reviews are justified. Just had front axles replaced on a 2019 Outback. Boxer saved me several hundred bucks over same procedure compared to dealer--using same OEM parts. Team there could not have been more professional. My car was ready exactly when they said it would be. There is a Hertz literally right next door if you need to leave something overnight. Plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, etc. in walking distance for quick services. While it's an extra 20 min drive compared to dealer, I'm happy to see they guys doing the work making the money. Worth the trip!

This is the only shop I’ll take my Subaru to from now on. Quality work, genuine Subaru OEM parts, and reasonable prices. The mechanics are honest and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this shop.

To put it bluntly, These guys are not smart or honest. A great combination. I brought my car in to have them look at a noisy rear wheel bearing. They took a look and informed me that BOTH rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced. Interesting as one of them was done about 10,000 miles ago. They went on to tell me that it was three hours of labor each to replace them. This is because “they will be seized and we will need to heat them up with a torch and bang on them with a sledgehammer. For three hours each? You can rebuild most of an engine in that time. Guess what, after some basic research there is a tool designed to remove them that costs about $50. I guess internet research isn’t their forte, that or they use one and just rip off their customers. Either way, my policy is if a mechanic

These guys know their Subarus and are timely with scheduling and completing work when they say they will. My impression is that they are very honest with prices quoted and tell it to you straight in terms of whether you really need to get work done or not.

I brought my car into Boxer to have them do an oil change – here is what the bill lists as services they perform during an oil swap: Lubricate and check chassis, change oil and filter, check air filter and breather filter. Check all fluid levels and tire pressures. Perform basic safety inspection, road test vehicle. I watched the entire process, here is what they did: They changed the oil and filter, maybe checked (some of) the fluids. Nothing else. Most concerning, once they lowered the car off the lift, they started it and DID NOT check the oil level again. Like most shops they pre-measured the oil to add to the car after draining the old oil. This is a fine system as long as you get all the old oil out (spoiler – this doesn’t happen as consistently as you might think). Too much or too
