I take my car to a small shop near LAX airport called Renner Motorsport. The owner (Ivo) is good people. This is probably 25-30 mins from Pasadena with no traffic.

I've never taken my car to the dealership below, but if you need a place that's closer maybe check it out. A bunch of people on NASIOC recommend it. It's probably about 20 mins from Pasadena with no traffic.
Big Valley Subaru

Try Suby Specialties in Monrovia, which is right next to Pasadena. Steve & Don are super cool and are extremely knowledgable in the older Subarus.

They didn't want to take on the SVX !!
I have another in N. Hollywood (Subaru Independent Service), Avo seemed knowledgeable and was recommended at another forum plus a vendor of my current Soobie servicer said they were really good.
