Of the main dealers, I believe Welch's in Shelford now service imports - but check. Otherwise Westaway near Northampton certainly do - and do a SIDC discount. As for independants, I don't know of any in that area. If you find one, let me know...

Hi,
I recently bought a 2001 Turbo and being the sort who pretty much thinks most garages do shoddy work at over the top rates and that as soon as you mention Subaru Impreza Turbo they all start rubbing their hands together I asked the guy who has been servicing my motorcycles for yonks ( I trust him ) if he could recommend someone. And lo and behold across the road from him is R & J Autos in Harston ( very close to Cambridge ). He is a one man band ( called Jeremy ) who specialises in performance cars. I was happy enough with the work he did on mine and I wouldn't have thought your car being an import would be a problem. You can call him and ask on 01223 872911.
Best wishes,
Kevin

I don't get this we dont touch it because its an import Crap.

They pretty much use all the same parts. They are all in the same places and the cars all come out of the same factory.

This dealer bull**** is one of the reasons I learnt to service/repair/build my own car.

As suggested above you can't beat the one man band guys. They pay attention to detail and in general do a very good job.

Paul at Zen is one of the best independant subaru specialists in the country.

But yes, since the original stuff was posted, Paul Blamire has opened up Zen Performance on the outskirts of Wellingborough. By far they best in this area.
