Question

Anyone use these guys regularly? Mine's up for its 90K service and they offered a reasonable price.

We've bought two scoobs from Cheam and serviced both of them there, they also did all the mods. We can't rate them highly enough

The service is very good and the staff are very friendly! Watch out for Jim Childs (Parts Manager), I always ended spending money in the parts department as well (nice spoilers, Subaru gear and accessories!)

Some people complain about the loan cars! (Old 1.6GL wagons, Polos & Justys)

Who cares, the amount you save over other dealers is worth it!

Also you get a 10% SIDC discount as well.

Yeah know what you mean about Jim, every time my other half came back from Cheam he'd have a new 'bit' for the car Last time he was there Jim was showing him some nice STI door sill trims or something

'staff are very friendly!'

It must have been an off day when i last went then.
Agreed Jim Childs was nice and pleasant, though the moody creature that moaned at me and my wife about having a japanese import wound me up so much he got 'well i was going to order an sti7 from you, but due to your constant moaning i'll take my business elsewhere' thrown in his face

I use em, with mixed results.

They do a good service (as far as changing oil and filters goes), they are polite, they are cool with mods (dunno what they'd say if you blew your engine as a result though), there load cars (if you can get one) are crap.

They are a bit reluctant to deal with warranties - clutch judder "could not replicate the problem", Alcon brake warping (hot warp) "couldn't replicate the problem".

Didn't pursue my enquiry about an STi7 purchase, so i haven't bought one.

Nice bunch though - p**s all over Bell and Colville though (muppets)

my two rupees
