I've used ACE a couple of times.
Very friendly, used them to sevice my MY01.
Although when they fitted my boost guage they connected it in the wrong place! they also didn't seem that clued up on prodrive upgrades etc I seemed to more about the bits I wanted fitting than they did!

All in all though, not a bad dealer, I will still be using them for routine servicing.

cheers Andy, if don't mind, how much did they charge for a minor service?

I've got a P1, and need to have a minor service done, oil change and checkup etc.. Judging by their lack of knowledge on Prodrive upgrades.. surely they must know about the P1??

Tinsta,

Also have my car serviced and modified by these guys. Great service thus far, except for limited knowledge on upgrades. ie. know more about blitz, HKS upgrades than scoobysport/PE/ITG methods. Seemed fine on the Prodrive stuff though.
Service manager is a nice irish chap called Hugh - very helpful. In his own words - they probably see more imprezas through their garage than any other in the UK (which makes sense due to their location).

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Scott

ps. service centre no. is 02089927866
