B&C will.

I was deliberating whether to go for an STi or a UK spec and my main argument for a UK spec was servicing, to which B&C said, "yep we'll service an import. We won't take it as a part ex though!"

Naming official dealers who will service imports on here is only going to reduce the number of official dealers !!!!

When I got my WRX in February - Bell & Colvill wouldn't even speak to me. I went to them for a cambelt change, told them it was an import - they asked where from and I said Japan and they said they couldn't help me. Have they changed their policy since then ???

Ron-H - I use a local guy to me between Farnham & Bordon on the A325 - he owns an RB5 and services another 5 or 6 imports that I know of. His name is Gary Osgood @ Alice Holt Garage, Tel. 01420 22773. He's a good bloke!

Me too. When I had my WRX I called B & C and was met with a dissaproving no no no.

Went to SAS in Aldershot instead who actually get their parts from B & C...go figure.
