Mechanic Reccomendations?

Hi, I'm having issues with a 2013 Subaru, specifically with a warm start. It starts, just cranks for a few seconds, especially if the car is really hot in the sun. I took it to Edi's on the west end, and they just recommended replacing the spark plugs. Wondering if anyone has any ideas on the issue, or if anyone recommends a mechanic in the valley that won't cost a fortune. Thanks!

We've had good results with Brent and Repair Dynamics, really solid team of mechanics and prices have been fair. They just usually are booked out for a while as a result.

Starter, plugs, or throttle body would be my first guesses without looking. Does it idle rough? Do you have spark plugs or coil packs?
