Servicing in the SE
Can anyone help me please. My RB5 is now due for a service, but now that it out of all warranties etc, I don't really want to pay full dealer prices on servicing
Can anyone help with a good (and hopefully cheaper) Subaru specialist in the SE area. I live in Beckenham SE London/ Kent, but willing ot travel
Hope you guys can help

Could it have been you I saw yesterday pulling out of a side turning into West Wickham High Street...?
I am near Beckenham myself, and there's not many RB5's....
As for servicing, have heard very good comments about Xtreme, though no first hand experience outside of the dealer network locally myself.

Not much help but I go to Wilson's in Chadwell Heath - main dealer.
Just posted to say I'm around Beck too, will keep an eye out for an RB5.
All the best

XS in Chelmsford have been nothing but honest, good guys from the first time I used them over 2 years ago - If I still had my car it would be there for its service right about now.
Professional, and reliable - never had a problem with them, hundreds of others would agree.

Have you thought about a nice day out in Canterbury..?
Barretts Motorsport are very well known and recommended by many on here. They now do all my servicing and seem to know the Scooby onions.
They're on 01227 864537 and the Boss is Phil Venn, seemed a very pleasant and knowledgeable bloke. They were also apparently the 97/99 British Group N Rally champs using a Scoob, so should have a fair idea of whats what..!
Regards,
Nige.
