Cambelt change on Classic Impreza 2000
Hey, first post on here so i am sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I have a classice Impreza turbo 2000 which has just hit 62K and is 16 years old (this was in storage for 6 years hence the low milage) so it is time for a cambelt change.
I have been quoted £436 + VAT for full kit and fitting, which seems a bit much, but i guess living in London maybe this is what i should expect.
A couple of things then is;
Can you please suggest a garage or two in or around East London that i can get quotes from?
Do you think i could let my local garage do the cambelt change? I have used them for 9 years and they mostly work on Rovers, MGs, BMWs and VWs.
Also would i be ok to let this garage do my servicing or should this really be done at a Subaru specialist?
Thanks in advance

Are the non genuine cambelt kits for these cars any good? There is one on Scoobyworld for £299.99 (genuine) but i am seeing some around for about £180, Gates i believe i was looking at.

Just spoke to Richard who was very helpful and has quoted me £100 less than the last garage, which i am much happier with. Waiting for one more quote but fairly sure ill drop it down to him.
Thank you so much!
