I got my car from Donnelly's in Belfast, they seem to be quite professional and are an authorised dealer.

Eastwood Motors, Lisburn - and if you book a service say that you want Norman to do the servicing. This guy knows his stuff.

I wouldnt waste my money going to any other "Official" Stealer.

Hi Grim,

the car is underwarranty still and I dont want to mess this up. Also i think there could be a fault with it and if so then i want it fixed under warranty if it applies. Dont think its major but well the car is only just coming up to 40k mls and cost a lot of money as i got it from new as a company car before being made redundant etc etc etc... so cant afford to have it go bang and have no back up for the sake of not going to a UK garage.

thanks

i would say big no to beechlawn - they were checking my 1600 subaru and thought it was an import turbo!!! Would recommend eastwoods - their work is good and not hard to pay either!!

All 1600's were imports incase you didn't know so they were right !

1600 were bought into the north by the N.I distributor I.M from the ROI

All warranty claims on these had to be done through Subaru Ireland not Subaru UK and so yes there were imports, and I doubt very much they thought there was a turbo fitted to it

I would go with Des Eastwood Motors. That is where I got my car from and they are realy good. I enquired the other day for my motor and they told me it would be £120 for a general service, mine has done 72000 miles.

Thats who I would go with anyway!!!
