Question

Does anyone know of a reliable performance car-oriented garage in Hants/Surrey? My better half's WRX needs a new turbo, probable new exhaust section and it misfires . There IS a place in Aldershot, but he's heard a few dodgy rumours about standards there.

If anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated. And there may be a box of paper clips in it for you...

Cheers ,
Avs

Cheers, pmather. Only that's where I take mine and it's bloomin' expensive. There must be other places around?

Avril, you could always try Subaru 4 You. OK they aren't based in Hampshire, but are in Reading, and Len offers a top service!

I'd definitely give him a call.

Edited as I couldn't spell Subaru in the link!!! Muppet!

I'm with Scott on this one, Subaru4you are pretty damn excellent and affordable too. best thing is they do weekends/evenings so you don't have to take time off work.
definately reccomended.

I get the big things done on my car (on the IOW) at a little place called Calbourne Garage. I know it's not Hampshire, and you have the ferry issue...

The garage is a one man operation, but he knows Scoobs & Cossies inside out. He may prefer you to soure the more difficult parts yourself though, and the last time I talked to him, there was at least a weeks waiting list to get anything done. Unless of course you had an interesting car...

Oh, and price wise, he charged £100 (cash) for fitting my new clutch

Yep - another vote for Len and Subaru 4 You. Top Service.

He knows what he's doing with putting new turbo's on
