Just a quick recommendation on the above, arranged a service with Paul last week and went today. This guy knows his stuff, absolutely no bullpoo and had me away by 9am, definitely doesn't hang about!

Was amazing to see him know exactly which tool to grab and how everything worked, came apart and went back together, have never seen anything like it. Everything was already prepared ready to go.

Was worried initially that recommendations i'd had were from friends or whatever but this isn't the case at all. If anyone needs anything done, he is the man to see

From memory it's about £610 for a clutch on newage, this includes skimming the flywheel etc.

They over quoted me for a bit of work so I went to a local guy who I have been using for years to sort my car out. I need to get a downpipe and fuel pump fitted now, whats that likely to cost?

Where from? You are well advised to pay a bit extra and use someone with a lot of Subaru experience.
Was the £300 for clutch and fitting? If so, I think you'll be getting what you pay for!

From my experience, and several clutches the £600 is slightly above average, bit Paul's experience is well worth it, you truly know a pod jobs been done to the highest standard, and this does include skimming the flywheel too remember.

The governing factor is of course, the make and type of clutch being fitted. Paul fitted an ACT unit to my STi and the final bill was a grand!
Don't forget to pay by card for the hardware and cash for the labour
