Yep

Ditto - Len did a big service on my STi (inc cam belts & brakes)
He is also fitting a downpipe for me next week (must remember to book it in)
They also sorted my clutch problem that I was told was un-curable !!
Knows his stuff & I saved a fortune over main dealers.

Oh, I see - ok thanks!!

I had a quote off them for my 22500mile service and they were MORE than Mill Lane, Basingstoke ...... and throw in that they are Non-Approved and you have warranty issues.

I am sure they are top mechanics however and I will contact them when I am out of warranty

Pete,

Do you have a number or contact name for Mill Lane? I'll check 'em out.

BTW Sub 4 U do NOT charge VAT, so that *has* to be a good thing!!

Cheers,

Robin

er.. I think I'd double check that if I were you.. + if he's going to do that 4 u I wouldn't shout it from the rooftops

Count me in as another Len supporter. Did a mini service for me a couple of weeks back, and also fitted a quick shift ( - wasn't straightforward, as I've got a barrier deadlock fitted, which meant that he had to refit the daedlock).

Pleased with the price and service, and will certainly use him in the future.

Thanks for the info from me too as they are very convenient for me, between home and work, and I'm facing my first service as a Scoob owner !

A supplementary question on non-authorised servicing: I see that Scoobysport claim that their servicing does not void your warranty as they follow Subaru 'best practice'. Is that true ? Can you maintain your warranty if you can show that your servicing was carried out in this way by a non-authorised dealer.

01635826991 ask for Len.

They did a great job on my 90k service *and* fitted my Bailey's DV and a de-cat centre section for free(and on a Sunday)!! Can't be bad..
