My 2007 Outback XT transmission failed Two months after I bought it,(Not from Boxer) Came up from Ohio too get Used transmission installed, we initially ran into issues, and ended up having to redo it, Josh stuck with it until he got it done. All three of the guys are fantastic! They poured so much extra love in the car to make sure that it was safe for me to make the trip!

Boxer Auto, Josh and his crew, have done great work on my Subaru. They definitely know the cars and also the common problems that happen with them. They are the best when it comes to getting your Subi inland getting it done in a timely manner and a fair cost for their work. I cant recommend a better Subaru repair shop than Boxer. Josh is a very nice guy who deals honestly, upfront & fairly.

I brought my 2017 Subaru Forester XT to Boxer Automotive for a full list of services: CVT fluid + strainer replacement, Front & rear differential oil change, Rear wheel bearing replacement, Brake fluid bleeding, Alternator bolt thread repair, Washer reservoir warning fix. Josh even rotated my tires and took care of a few minor items for free, rare to find that kind of honesty today. What really impressed me was Josh's Subaru expertise. While waiting, I saw him working on big jobs like Engine swaps, Head gasket repairs, Transmission servicing. After driving 2 hours to get here, I can confidently say it was 100% worth it.

These guys know their stuff!!!! They're always willing to figure out the problem with you, and they're super honest with recommendations and pricing! I wouldn't take my 2012 Subaru Outback anywhere else :) If you've got a Subaru problem, they can fix it!
