Why not try www.scoobessential.co.uk? I use Simon for all my fitting & servicing around the North West and he does a cracking job!

Question

Does anyone have any good suggestions for servicing in or near Preston/Manchester?

I also think I need the recirculating dump valve replacing on MY97 Impreza Turbo AWD 5 door.

AJ White in Blackburn have just carried out my 1000 mile service - not much to it so can't really comment on quality etc but they were friendly and helpful (didn't buy the car from them).

Phil,
You're havin a larf right?????

I wouldn't touch Monks Heath with a barge pole now.What a complete bunch of stuck up pr1cks!!!!!!
Mainland are fantastic and will get my business (And other scooby owners that I know!!!) everytime........
Monks Heath treated me like something that they'd wiped off their shoe (At the end of the day,I can afford to buy/run a scoob whereas they seem to think cos they take a scoob home each night, that they're a member of the elite or somethin!!!! )

Champagne drinkers with lemonade money is what I say about em!!!!

Cheers

Nick

Question

Nick nothing to do with this really, did you know that Mainland use Magnatec oil every time they service a car. Is that a bad thing do you think because most people think it is an oil that is not up to scratch so to speak.(semi synthetic instead of fully synthetic)
What are your thoughts ???

Cheers Nige

Nige,
I had heard that yeah.....
From what I understand though,Monks Heath use semi synthetic oil in their services unless you specifically ask for fully synthetic oil and then they will of course charge you extra for the privelege!!
Why not have a chat to Danny (0151 495 2091) at Mainland and see what he has to say on the subject.He's very approachable and will do everything he can to help!!

Good luck

Nick

I completely disagree but that is the beauty of living in a democracy I suppose.

I can confirm though that Monks Heath use Synthetic Mobil 1 though.
