scp data while preserving file modification times?

I need to back up a large amount of data on a remote server to a local
machine. I can copy the data to my local machine using scp -r. The
problem is that the files created on the local machine all have the
current date and time, rather than their actual modification time. I
*could* tar everything up on the remote side and just download the tar
file, but the remote machine is shared, and I don't want to hose the
machine.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!
