Don't disregard the idea of going to the dealer. Q and his family have owned Subarus for YEARS and they have mostly been extremely reliable as long as you keep up with maintenance. This mechanic sounds like he's full of shit. Trust your instincts... if they say he's full of it, he probably is. Check out the dealer, and discuss all options before allowing them to touch the car so you know what and how much they'll be charging you.
Also, there's a lot to be said for going in acting Very Confident - not bitchy, just like someone who knows what's what. Doing your research will be helpful, even if it bores you to pieces. Know what they're talking about and they'll be less likely to treat you like an idiot, and thus bullshit you. You being a cute gal of small stature is unfortunately a negative in cases like this (stereotypes suck but exist for a reason... ). So being more pro-active will only help you.
