SOURCE: check engine light on;engine codes p0420 and p0773
I looked up the codes you posted.
P0420 is showing a bad oxygen sensor on bank #1, the one down by the catalytic converter.
P0773 is an electrical problem with the shift solenoid E.
A bad oxygen sensor would cause lower fuel milage.
SOURCE: need info on codes PCM.P0134 and P0420
Both codes are for the oxygen sensors.
P0134 oxygen sensor on bank #1, sensor #1 is bad.
P0420 oxygen sensor on bank #1, the sensor down by the catalytic converter, is also bad.

A p0420 code is set when the computer determines that the catalytic converter isn't doing it's job. In almost all instances that code can't set as a result of a bad o2 sensor so they probably didn't have to be replaced. The catalytic converter will need to be replaced, prefferably by an oem part. This can be pretty expensive and should be considered before purchasing the vehicle.
I have replaced a few bad converters on late model subarus in the past few years.
if your car no present any problem i think that mechanic is a thieft.
Sometimes the fuel have mixtures that make the check light on , to reset disconnect the negative battery few minutes, no go more to this mechanic,good luck
