Default best independant servicing

Hi Guys,

I'm on my second Scoob now and seeing as it's getting a little older (it's an '04) I don't want to use the main dealer for servicing anymore.

I live in Harlow and was wondering if anyone knows a good, honest specialist that won't pull my pants down over the price. The car has a few mods so I want someone who knows what they're doing. I've used Perfect Touch in Hoddessdon before and although the guys there know their stuff they are pretty pricy and take ages to get the work done!

Anyone have a good recomendation?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Adam,

I do all my work myself, so sorry I don't know of any garages to take your car to locally.
Maybe some of the others can help?

Best in Essex is prob Extreme Scoobies in Chelmsford, know what they are doing but you pay for that knowledge.

Another vote for Extreme

Paul has been looking after my Forester since 2009. I've always found him to be friendly and helpful, and a darn sight cheaper than a main dealer

Extreme were good when I have used them in the past, it’s a sad state of affairs that there are so few trusted places we can take our cars without having idiots pretending they know what they are talking about.

There was a time when I would suggest Xtremescoobies without a second thought but recent dealings have lead me to change specialist after more than 6 yrs and many ££££££ in Boreham. If its a simple service then just use Xtreme otherwise I would use either Slowboy racing or FB Tuning as these boys really know what they doing with these cars

Thanks guys! Looks like I'll be taking a trip out to Xtreme. Hoping to get to one of the meets soon. It seems like there is a few of us from Harlow now.
