Hi. Just bought a 1996 Legacy Estate. Love the car and want to treat it right. Can anyone recommend a good independent mechanic in the High Wycombe area? Not planning to tune it, just put it right. Has a slight oil leak from somewhere and probably needs shocks after 120,000 miles. Amazing car. Not a squeak or rattle even at this mileage. Not much of the German crap will do that!!
Thanks to all for any help.
P.s. needs a new exhaust but the standard system is over £500 plus fitting. Any thoughts on the Mongoose system for this car. Are these non-cat systems noisy? thanks again

Guys, thanks. Will check out the Legacy website. Didn't know it was there.

On the squeaks, I kid you not, none except for a faint rattle from a shock!

Thanks again.
