5 /5 Art Smith: I had my top radiator hose develop a leak while driving from Seattle to Reno NV last weekend. Sunday morning, it blew enough to stop my trip in Weed CA. I got a tow to Redding, near the Subaru dealership, and it turned out near Rustys also. I friend recommended Rusty, but I couldnt call until Monday morning. I called when they opened up (figuring if they couldnt do it I could go to the Subaru dealership), and Rusty said they were short-handed, but could try to fit me in if I could leave the car all day. Figuring thats the same response Id get from the dealer, I said OK. Drove over there, and he said hed get to it as soon as he finished up another car. Walked to the local Starbucks, had a cup, and came back; my car was nearly done. He suggested replacing the lower radiator hose also, and I said fine. The car was completely done by 10:30, and at a cost far lower than the same service at the dealership. Friendly and professional; definitely worth it!
