Question

Does anyone know of a decent garage in the Aberdeen area that know about MY95 WRX? Seem to have a boost problem at the moment.

Steve,

Give Dave Brown a shout at scoobies@btinternet.com he works for a Garage in Blairgowrie and is a Subaru nut too. He used to be service manager at T & C Perth, tell him I sent you.

Where about is DB based?

There is most definitely a lack of an independant Scooby specialist in Aberdeen.

Dave,

I'm sure a weekly/monthly trip would be well worthwhile for you. There are no independent Subaru specialists up here, but lots of cars, especially imports, which T&C won't touch. Lots of people don't want to drive 80 - 100 miles to get their car serviced, and take time off work.

Miles,

I don't think Dave will be tempted away from Crail this weekend

I think this is the Max Crail weekend, where a certain magazine come to Crail, complete with lots of nice girls

Aye...youre right there ,John

I'm suprised that none of the ex-Andersons Bridge of don subaru guys didnt think of this idea.An independant would certainly keep busy up your way.

I realise that Blairgowrie is a fair distance for most of you to travel for service & repairs, but any enquiries are welcome.I work every other weekend (when Crail's not on), so that may suit some people.

If anyone knows of any workshop facilities for rent in the Aberdeen area, could you please pass on the details to me.

Dave

There still a few of the ex-Anderson Cars showrooms standing empty... Perhaps they are too big though If I see anything around town I'll drop you a mail.

Dave,

Will drop by some time.

I don't have complete faith in T&C ABZ,
you would make a mint up here.

I currently get anything more complicated than an oil change at Falkland.

A trip over to you would be good, assume you have all the diagnostics etc ?
