Hiya

1st post in this section... I have a MY96 Impreza Sport (SOHC non-turbo)... I have a cambelt kit and waterpump that I need fitted to my car and I live in Romford, Essex

Can anyone help by recommending a garage to have the labour done at a reasonable rate?

Only garage so far is in Chelmsford which have quoted £116

Thanks in advance!

chrismyatt82

OK I have Chelmsford Carriage Company which have quoted £116 including VAT and I have have been quoted by Extreme Scoobies which hve done their best to match the price at £120 including VAT

As I have no experience with either of these places, could someone recommend one of these to go to?

Trying to save the pennies as my Scooby needs a fair bit of work (just had replacement driveshafts fitted on Saturday and need some welding on the rear ¼ panel)

Thanks!

Hi , I don't know Chelmsford Carriage co 100% , but I'm not sure they are a specilaist in Subaru. Extreme however are, and have looked after my Scoobie (and the 2 before) for the past 6 years or so , highly recomended on here. I would prefer to trust it to them for the sake of a few £ if it were me .
Hope this helps

Have never heard of Chelmsford Carriage Co.

I would take it to Extreme.

This is them

http://www.chelmsfordcarriagecompany.com/

They say they deal with Subaru but definatly not a specialist!

I think I will go with Extreme, spoke to Paul there but only available next week... will let you know of my findings

Now I need to arrange for the welding as my rear bumper is being held on the drivers side with a screw through rust and some no nails lol

You won't go wrong with Extreme

Where abouts in romford are ya mate? Im in Hornchurch near roneo

You could try TDI in lakeside although they are extremely expensive labour wise or theres a place next to them called apc or something im not too sure (i havent used either) apart from TDI doing a head gasket check for me!

chrismyatt82

Ive seen a few pottering about in Romford... even my partner now can spot one from a distance, I am teaching her well lol

DantheMan2605
