I've got my next service coming up in October and I need to find a garage that's not going to give me the grief that Fenny Compton garage gave me over a warranty claim.

Anyone know what Carstin's are like in general or maybe the garage in Leicester?

One thing is for sure, I'm not going back to Fenny Compton.

 

Thay are CRAP
sent me home with 2 F**KED tyers after checking my brakes had been fitted ok did thay look at them on the wheels never came off??

 

Hmmmmmmmm, is there ANY decent dealers in the warwickshire area?

 

er Roger Clarks if you do a Darren & sod the warrenty Much better anyway but if you did use Carstins take yer own non part synth oil

Mick, try crossroads garage they are in shipton on stour. I think you'll find them mod friendly. the service manager is Ben.

Arrrrh now I started off at Crossroads, I bought my first car there. I found their servicing costs way too high compared to the other Subaru dealers. I remember Ben though, nice chap.

 

Mick, they r a little on the high side but you get 10% off for sidc membership and mod friendly too. how do they compare on price to carstins.
ken

 

Carstins also do 10 or 15% sidc discount thou last time i used em
Si

 

Hmmmmmm, looks like I've got 2 months to join SIDC then

 

Mickle what was wrong with fenny compton as I have just used them ,I found them a lot more helpful and there prices were good . I used to use carstins but found them expensive and not very curtouis and only arfur job !.

Hi justing, Email me offline and I'll tell you what *&£*$&($@'s they are. I found them fine until I needed something from them which didn't involve my money.

 

See you @ the Crossroads,Crossroads,Crossroads...Need i say anymore!01608-661544 ask for Ben,Kevin or Jon & say Si Burt sent you.
(Please excuse the use of the crap lyrics,but ive had beer!lol)

 

Hey SiBert, isn't Anthony Bert's Subaru Garage in Solihull? What they like?

 

I have always used Carstins(6yrs) and never had a problem with them and they have always been a good bunch of guys,they have just done a big end oil leak under warrenty for me,the car (an RB5) has done around 56k and the clutch was worn down so i had it done at the same time all the labour cost was done under the warrenty claim and part of the clutch was put down to the warrenty.So as far as i'am concerned they are good guys.

 

Mickle,

i wouldnt know what Andrew BURT's are like mate,cos as far as im concerned,Crossroads are the one stop scooy shop!

Cheers,SiBURT.

 

bollox 2 the lot of u it's gota be clarks in a non subaru dealer way
Si (+ a few beers/whiskeys/archers/er 4got )

 

Right then, Carstins will have a new customer with thanks to SiBurt

Do I need to join SIDC ASAP? Or is the discount not worth it?

 

well membership is like £22 or so & with 2 service a year that is at least that as a saving so win win if you are guns use 'em like Cant remember if carstins is 10 or 15%
Si

 

i've heard this too many times, what do carstins provide for oil?

last time i used carstins they wouldn't give me the 10% discount so when did they start?
ken
