Volks,

Just to close out this incident, I had a great experience with H&R Motors
today (Seth Hatfield).  One CV replaced, both sides fully cleaned and
re-packed.  Great folks to deal with, knowledgeable, fair pricing.  Seth's
setup seems similar to Fred's in Redwood City: well established, faithful
following, funky setting.  Just like all our favorite places, I'm sure.

Visit Seth at H&R if you ever need help, or are considering a Subaru
conversion.  He's stoked on those and has done a number of them. 511 E.
Richardson St., Santa Barbara.  (805) 965-6757.

Thanks all.  Both Pensioner and Brent Christensen recommend Seth as an
alternate to Mike Cory.  Seems like my chances are good for Monday.  I'll
let you all know how it turns out.

Try H&R motors, Seth is the owner, lead mechanic.  I have had very good

Fine folk, very qualified, great customer service.
