Also have you been up there recently? since they have had some renovations done?


other thing is as far as i'm aware (not sure cos not used them) arn't scoobybits just parts suppliers ratehr than tuners? and do they have a dyno?

last time I went was March (I think) and I think Scoobybits are more of a supplier and have to send out for dyno work (yet again I think)

so you'd get a supplier to work on your car rather than a specialist?

Scoobybits is more than a supplier, Jase has worked on my car as has Scoobyclinic, API and APP.

I have to say there isn't much in the service levels, but Jase will try to beat any quote and is a top bloke who does what he says.

(please don't think I am saying other don't do what they say)

The price of my clutch was better than anywhere else, I did shop around and got a great service plus he has the ability to pick your car up using a flatbed.

I dont see the point of subjects like this cause when ye post summat that aint good about someone others on here jump down ye throat
After all this is a forum and a public(to an extent) one so I never did understand why people did this. One good experience dosent mean they are great but neither does a bad experience mean they aint

if you mean scoobybits, i believe they send the car off to a bodyshop, like what happened to mine recently. ttop work too, considering my cars red and had a 80-85% spray done. colour match was just right

just got back from scoobyclinic they listened to my car and diagnosed the problem within 2 minutes as bearings on the turbo, and not a crank or cam as diagnosed as possibilities by other "ahem" scooby "specialists".
Thanks to adam and the guys at the clinic they deffo have all my future business!

I would say exactly the same. Always straight forward with Jase at Scoobybits.

Never get a coffee from Jase though....., in fact scrap that, only got one offered in summer. Needs to work on his catering skills!! lol

Hi,
money vibe ???
other garages told Lem6 it was his crank and would need a full re-build, prices of £2500.00 + vat had been mentioned, he pops in to Scoobyclinic and gets it sorted for £350.00 + vat !! Dam good money vibe if you ask me.

Cheers

The best experience I've ever had at a tuners was at the clinic. I took my 1st scoob there on NO recommendations, I just seen an article in Jap performance mag and thought that sounds like a top place.

I booked my car (My93 Wrx) in for a full de-cat and Re-map as that was what Adam advised me would be the best grand I'd ever spend on the scoob.

There service was excellent even popping out to get me a sarnie whilst i waited and endless cups of tea off Adam . I had to return to the Clinic a week later as i had issues with boost. I told them i couldn't afford another day off work and was told " bring the car up early and we'll sort you out" I was given a car to use for 4 day's whilst they sorted my boost problem. It turned out to be the actuator which they put there finger on straight away, but i couldn't get back up there as i live in B'ham. I was then told "there's no rush to bring the car back, when your ready"

The best bit about this story is Kev charged me nothing for the job total freebie All It cost me £25 worth of petrol..

I'd never use anyone else - There service is 2nd to none.

Luke.
