Default Due a service - what specialist to go with?

If any? Don't fancy paying Subaru dealer prices if I can get the same job done (with a stamp) cheaper!

Most independent specialists charge around £50/hour inc. VAT.

You could try Adgespeed in Irlam or Prosport in Stockport.
I have used both - Adgespeed being a bit cheaper.

get a socket set and do it yourself! its so easy.the hardest part is changing the plugs but there is a video on youtube that shows you how to do them.(you need to remove the battery,washer bottle and airbox) i know you dont get a stamp in your book but i always keep the old parts and the receipts for the new parts to show to whoevers going to buy the car off me. you ll save around £200 by gettin your hands a bit dirty.
