If you do go with SCP for the repair, see if they can drive it down to Portland where you can pick it up. If they do that, you'll save $$$ on sales tax and make up for the shipping costs.

Subject: [SubaruVanagon] Closest vendor to Phoenix
I have given up on finding someone to repair my 87 Syncro, 2000 Impreza 2.5 SOHC in Phoenix. I just recently ( june last yr) blew a valve and it is deemed a lean condition. I have not had a -timely repair. Symptoms still persist of bogging under load/acceleration. Fuel pressure seems fine. Almost every component has been tested and replaced. No codes.
Small car originally did my harness and they say they can fix my van if i ship it to them ( its 1100 to ship, then I would have to fly up to get it).
I guess Im looking for a less expensive solution or ill be selling my van which I hate to do. Im dine troubleshooting locally. I have considered having a locsl shop work with small car over the phone to try and use their knowledge combined. But my local conversation guy in Phx wont do that.
Looking for suggestions on vendor shops I could ship to or other creative ideas !
