After my Subaru Crosstrek suffered damage and became undrivable from hitting something on I-95 near Florence, SC. I made the decision to have it repaired at Road Warrior Subaru Specialist. Since I was 7 hours away from home, we rented a car and had my Subaru towed for repairs. Brian, the mechanic, efficiently fixed my car at a VERY FAIR price within just 2 days. Upon returning to Florence to retrieve my car, I dropped off the rental at Enterprise. To streamline the process, Brian's wife, graciously drove my Subaru to meet me at Enterprise, saving me the hassle and cost of hiring an Uber to retrieve my car from the shop. This thoughtful gesture not only saved me time but also money.

I highly recommend Brian. Our transmission went out on I-95 and we had the car towed to his shop. After diagnosing the problem and giving us our options, he ordered a new transmission from Subaru and drove to Conway SC to pick it up. He repaired the car for a very fair price. After the car was repaired, he stored it for us until we could return to Florence to pick it up. The car now runs perfectly. We could not be any happier with the service Brian provided.

An honest mechanic that really knows his stuff, who is also fair and transparent on costs too. I needed a head gasket swap plus a transmission replacement and once the parts came in the turnaround time was pretty quick. My old outback is running better than ever now, so thanks to Brian and his quality work, this road warrior lives to fight another day!

I thought I had a problem with my CVT 'shuddering' on my 2018 Outback. Went to the dealership service dept and they diagnosed that I needed a $7,800 transmission replacement (+ tax). A guy in the waiting room suggested I call the Road Warrior. Brian at Road Warrior immediately said "run away" and I did ... best advice ever. Drove down to his shop and the problem was diagnosed in less than 10 minutes to be a misfire on cylinder #2. He sourced the parts quickly and replaced the #2 coil pack and put a new set of plugs on all around for good measure. Brian saved me well over $7000. The dude knows his stuff.

Took my wife s car in to get new headlights. Brian took it for a test drive and found out the wheel bearings were worn and needed to be replaced. He did the work the next day and what a difference. Brian is way better than most mechanics and really checks your car over to make sure it is in good condition. He made a customer for life.

I don t write reviews. But this company is simply amazing! Never have I ever walked in to a mechanic shop and spoke to someone, and felt how genuine and honest this person is. He has done work on my 2021 Subaru WRX STi, and now my 2019 Audi S5, I can t thank you enough Brian, you really know how to treat your customers! This will now and forever be my shop I go to.

Our Subaru had a "phantom" drain that kept killing the battery. After trying four other places and days of aggravation, we took it to Road Warrior. It was diagnosed and fixed the next day for a very reasonable price. Go there!

Just found my new primary mechanic shop. Brought my 2014 XV Crosstrek in for a fluid change on my transmission and both differentials. Pricing was EXTREMELY fair and the maintenance was done faster than quoted. Road Warrior Subaru will continue to receive my business!Services: Transmission, Auto maintenanceServices: Transmission, Auto maintenance

Brian is a solid guy and excellent mechanic. He's fast with fair prices as well as speedy to turn around the completion of the repairs. He replaced my rear wheel bearings and brake pads. Car drives like new. First time here today and I will return and recommend. Thanks again!Service: BrakesService: Brakes

I highly recommend Brian! I had a unique issue come up with my 2019 Subaru Forester, and Brian was able to diagnose and fix it. He came to our house, picked up the car, kept us updated on the progress and returned it quickly. He is very knowledgeable and professional. His fees are very reasonable and much less expensive than going to a dealership! So nice to have a local person who focuses only on Subarus! He will be my go-to mechanic from now on! Thanks, Brian!

Brian is amazing! He is knowledgeable, friendly and very reasonable. My 2012 Subaru Legacy had a torque converter issue as well as a few other problems. When I took it to be looked at by the Charlotte Subaru dealership the quoted me $10,000+ and told me to trade the vehicle in. Brian was able to fix it the torque convertor and another main issue for $2000. I will NEVER go back to a dealership. He even went out of his way to let me pick up my car when he was closed for the weekend. I will only be using Road Warrior from now on. 10 out of 10.

Finding Brian's shop for Subarus was a godsend. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and really cares for his customers. He is also thorough, honest and makes sure you know about what to expect from your car going forward.

Went outside to start my wife s 2019 Ascent to warm up before her driving to work and it wouldn t start. Called Road Warrior and Brian had a new battery in the car and it ready to go in no time at all. Didn t have to get the car in to the shop - he came to me. I was very pleased with the service and the price he charged. I will use him for all our Subaru maintenance and repairs in the future.Service: Battery

Road Warrior Subaru Specialist is by far the best experience I've ever had with mechanic work. Brian is super friendly and walks you through the process. Not only did he have competitive prices but had my motor replaced in 24hrs! Super reliable!

I have never met such a kind and caring mechanic in all my years. This man diagnosed our 2019 Subaru Forester in literally 5 minutes. Another mechanic poured CVT fluid into our differential and it completely destroyed the front differential. He diagnosed it immediately. Not only did he help us film it for proof, in case MIDAS tried to deny doing it. But he drove my son who was stranded hours away from any family, to the nearest hotel, after working hours. I highly recommend this man to anyone in need of a trustworthy mechanic or just in need of a good human. We won't ever forget what you did for our family

Called on Tuesday, he picked up my car on Thursday and returned it 4 hours later. I had new oil and filter, new head light. Tires rotated, new rear brakes and two new rear wheel bearings. At least $900 cheaper than the dealership and probably 2 days faster. Thank you Brian for the great service!Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Brakes, Oil changeServices: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Brakes, Oil change

My wife's Subaru threw a misfire code, after calling Road Warrior Subaru we made arrangements to drop it off the following morning. Within an hour, Brian had the misfire diagnosed and completed a full inspection of the car which turned up a couple more issues that needed attention. He had everything completed within 24 hours! I highly recommend visiting Road Warrior Subaru, you won't be disappointed with the level of service you receive.Services: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto maintenance

Brian has worked on a couple of our vehicles. The work is always excellent, affordable, and quick. Affordable, excellent and quick are all great reasons to go to Brian, but if you need one more he s local! Wooo it s nice to avoid that beach traffic! Thanks Brian!

Brian was a life saver! Was stuck with a blown engine on the interstate with my BRZ and luckily found Road Warrior and Brian went straight to diagnosing and finding necessary parts all while keeping me updated and even sending me pictures of parts replaced for piece of mind. The alternative would have been an expensive tow down to Subaru stealership in columbia.

I broke down here from Pennsylvania and started fixing my car myself. Called looking for parts and got words of advice on things to look out for making the repairs. When i found more issues i took it down there and the price i paid to have my car worked on was far better than any shop in PA and he is more knowledgeable than most when it comes to anything Subaru. Highly recommend for any Subaru owners.

Wholeheartedly recommend Road Warrior Subaru Specialist. I was on my way from N.C. to Myrtle Beach on Rt 95, when multiple dashboard lights came on. Brian the owner and specialist had a good idea what was wrong and that it was ok for me to continue to the shop. He went out of his way to get the part, recommended a hotel, and restaurant. He had the car fixed by checkout time the next morning. Only wish he was located closer to where I live so I could continue to take my car there. Pat Vreeland

My wife and I were on vacation, driving from N J to Florida. We had an ongoing problem that our home dealership hadn't been able to solve and had returned again. My wife found Road Warrior Subaru on the internet. Brian, the tec guy and owner, walked us through a way to diagnose the situation and get going for the evening. The next morning we met him at his shop where he gave us a few options and got us safely on road again. Brian treated us like family. Thanks again, Jim & Karen Vreeland
