Default Need recommendations where to fix my Subaru

Hi there!
I just moved to London with my Subaru STI hippo. First time in the United Kingdom, and planning to settle here for a year or two.
I need to learn about maintenance prices in the UK, where to fix my car, and how to keep it safe. Let's see how different the experience would be compared to Balkans Europe.
Please share helpful links and info that I should know related to services, thefts, rules etc.
But here are things I need to fix ASAP:
1. my steering rack is dying! It is cracking, and my steering pump is screaming now, even in warm weather. Can you recommend Subaru services in or near London? How expensive could the master's work be? Should I purchase parts myself?
2. front brakes need maintenance too

Things I am looking into:
1. How thoroughly car is inspected during Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA)? I have a quiet but modified exhaust.

I hope I've selected the correct thread. Thanks

Thanks, friend! Looks like slowboy racing is a reliable service, just checked their reviews on maps.

Thanks for the advice. If you are struggling with financial problems then I wanna recommend you https://britishcolumbiacasino.org where you can make a lot of money while relaxing at home and with the help of online casinos gaming sites where you will be free with all of your problems, I recommend it if you are having financial difficulties.

Thanks again! Another pack of great services. TRD isn't far away, actually, just 2 hours
I am trying to avoid London services at the moment. I have a biased opinion that they prefer Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Rolls Roys, and Porsche clients more. First time I've ever seen so many supercars and luxury cars, and even in Dubai, you won't see so many daily heh. Those prefer supercharged Nissan Patrols

the idea is to find reliable service not only to fix car but to make some adjustments and preparations for sprints and track usage. engine and cooling is modified and track ready
