This just doesnt happen that often!

I had two of the same make and model car in my shop at the same time! Different problems of course. They were even the same color. Two Subaru Impreza WRXs! The first one that came in was a 2002 WRX and the second one a 2003 WRX. Since opening this shop 8 months ago I have rarely worked on the same make in a day much less the same make and model!
The first one that came in was a timing belt but he wanted me to check the head gasket. Sadly his head gasket was no longer functioning the way it was supposed to. Long job on this one, double head gasket and a timing belt. Subaru leaves you almost no room in the engine compartment for doing this so I just pull the engine. Makes life so much easier getting the cylinder heads set. I found out once I got into it that I was the second guy to do it, the first was before he had owned it. Ended up having to order parts that I was not expecting. Part of the reason it was still here when Subaru #2 showed up.
Subaru #2 came in for much simpler issues. Broken springs in the front. I ended up replacing springs all around. He actually only had one spring left that was not broken, the right rear. The amazing part of this is the Subaru was riding on Eibach springs, which are a good quality spring. This one left with a set of H and R springs and riding much better!
