This was my first experience with Auto Doc. I asked Chris to have my 2001 Subaru looked at for an opinion on whether to repair its problems and try to drive for 2-3 more years, or not. I felt that his and the AD mechanic who had examined the car's joint opinion was honest and considered. They said they could repair and guarantee for a limited time the car's known problems but. even if the work was done over time as needed, the cost would exceed the car's value and they couldn't predict what else could happen, or guarantee the years left in the vehicle. So the "repair & maintain" approach would not be advisable. I felt the $50 charged for their conclusion based on a physical exam of the car within and beyond the context of the Subaru dealership's Diagnostic Report ($118), which I showed Chris, was fair & reasonable.
