You could try Park Lane in Alton. Never used them myself, but lots of people seem happy with their service (and there are some great roads to get there)...

Thumbs up

It's a bit further afield, but I'd recommend Mill Lane (just outside Basingstoke).

Try Subaru4you (subaru4you.co.uk)
Small outfit run by an ex subaru mechanic - very cheap hourly rates.
In the past I have trusted my last 2 services (1 of them major ie cambelts) & had a downpipe fitted there.
I think from memory his rate per hour is something like £35

Try the Scooby dealer in Hazelmere. ou can find them listed on the Subaru website. I have a 94 WRX import and they done a intermediate service no problem without sucking air through their teeth when the were told that it was no a UK car.

Dunno what their hourly rate is though.

Power Engineering in Uxbridge will again look at it for you and they have very good review.

Their is also a Japaneese import specialist out at Normandy near Guildford. They are called Jap Cars or something like that. However I called them for some quotes on upgrading to 4 pot discs, pads and calipers etc and they did sound like planks. However I may have just been unfortunate enough to speak to the workshop minion.

Alternativly I know a mechanic that is quite frankly GREAT. He builds and maintains 2 race minis and does all the work on my scooby very, very cheap and to the highest standards.

E-mail me is you need any more help at jason@dialus.net.

Bell & Colvill (Guildford) might service it - I believe they're not so strict about imports these days. You could also try the Subaru garage in Haslemere.

Oh, and yes - Park Lane are very good, although a little pricey.
