Default Servicing in Northern Ireland

Hi,
I Live in Bangor, Co. Down.
Can anyone recommend where to have my bugeye wrx serviced, it has been off the road for last year or so, I want to get it all the once over from someone that has a good idea about scoobys.
I was reading good reports about Bishop Motorsport, does anyone know if they are suitable as my car is completely standard at the minute. I had read that they are quite specialist.
Any help much appreciated

I'm also Bangor - Iain Bishop is the man for the job 07711368550.
Standard or modified - no difference, he knows them inside out.

Tell him Shaun Brady sent you - he'll charge you double then!

Easy to get to from Bangor also, head Newtownards/Comber/Ballynahinch.
Straight over first roundabout, then I think second exit at next roundabout (the one with the garage on the left).
Go down that road for a couple of miles I guess, then he's on the left just after the big left bend
He's usually quite busy, and still does some work for Prodrive

We'll I did try OMA quote some time ago.
Alas he never answered the phone and I'd left a voice mail.

I usually give most people a second chance, and rang again a couple of days later - again no answer and I didn't leave a second voice mail.

Thanks and I have no idea how! just saw who to send a car too and know there is no man better at scoobies or indeed any other performance motor than Mr Bishop! He takes so much care and works so hard to make sure he gets it right, he works in a better environment than many NHS surgeons!

OMA, Northern Irelands answer to Andy Forrest and that should say enough.

He's always an extremley high volume of cars to work on so cant always answer the phone but does get back to you if you leave a message. Pay a visit and even before you speak to him you'll want to use him when you drive past all Scoobys in his yard.
