Default Scooby Service - Wiltshire

My Scoob needs some serious TLC as I have a knocking comming from the engine. Can people recomend the best place to take her thats not too far away? I want somewhere that will be honest with me, do what needs doing and not charge me the earth.

I live in Swindon, Wiltshire.

Hi Dude, sorry to hear about the knocking. I take my car to Len at subaru4you out in Newbury. www.subaru4you.co.uk very good prices and no no-nonsense answers.

Hope this helps.

I always get mine done at Simpsons (Highworth). Not the cheapest, but I've always had very good service from them...

I use CAMS in Chippenham, the owner runs 2 Impreza's and works / has worked on many of the cars in the area - mine included.
Rates are very reasonable - he's on 07710 342841

Fair enough

I've been using them regularly to service the scoob for about five years, and my dad has been using them to service his Isuszu Trooper for about three years. Neither of us have had anything but excellent, courteous, and thorough service. Guess you were just unlucky

I've heard that David Hendry are quite good...

Having had work done today by API (Clutch/Flywheel) i can recomend David and the API team, I'm near Wallingford Oxfordshire 70 miles from API and it was well worth the trip. I'm soon moving to Lyneham (Just down the road from you) and will be using API for any future requirements Highly recomended.

I tried using the witney dealer a while ago, and got shockingly bad service. Wouldn't recommend them at all

My vote goes for Len at subaru4you - Newbury's not far from you.
He was just about to take an engine out last week when I was there

Well - just to say thanks for all the info people.

The car went to Len at Subaru4You and I must say I was really pleased with the service and the price.

I will be going back there next time
