anyone ever heard of them?

Ray_li

no

stew911

ok. apparantly they were the people who fixed bf's head gasket yet i can't find nothing about where they are. all i've got is a phone number and when i ask to speak to the bloke who worked on them they had no idea who or what i was going on about????

Ray_li

Did you get API to give the car a once over?

stew911

no bf was too knackered and just wanted to get home cause he had been up all night at work and has got to work again tonight!!!

anyway david said anything i or he wants to know about i/we can give him a ring and he will advice us as much as he can. plus he wants us to tak car back so he can out clocks back or something like that????

Ray_li

tell the bf to keep it off boost until API checks it over if you're worried about the engine

stew911

thing is they are completely chocker at api at the moment so can't fit him in for a while!

stew911

i'm a bit further away then wolves mate, i live in bromsgrove which isn't even in brum. so i would be looking at doing 100 miles there and 100 miles back.

I used API for the first time for a new clutch, I'm local to you, and I found David and API very good. I will be using API again as I was treated very well and they have a good set up, big place. Its just down the road M40 I think it took me 30 min first time.

If your cars knackered, I think they are part of the recovers service as well, they will send out a truck.

Good luck

hi dawg, went there yesterday so know what you mean about the place, but instead of going down the motorway we went the a roads way, mission!!!

but thanks for letting me know that they have a recovery service, bf will be impressed with that.

Ray_li

stew911

im in birmingham and have recently used API for a full service and cambelt change on my my00 wrx,looked at many posters opinion of them before i decided to let them loose on my car,and i wasn't disapointed with the service they provide,very knowledgable about the cars,and extremly willing to help,had a good chat to David about proposed mods to my car,and he deff knows his stuff,and they are very competative price wise...... a few points of note
1) having to travel some distance to get good service is not a problem,id rather do that than go to some local monkeys that could poss cause some severe problems
2) API being chock full of work also says a lot about how well they are regarded by subaru owners,when i was there a constant stream of guys and gals showed up,all welcomed with a smile not a growl
3) book in for a sat morning check over...... get a free bacon buttie that way lol
scoobyclinic also have a good reputation,but from where i am API is closer

hi martin and thanks for that. i want bf to get car looked over by api, just to see if there is anything else wrong with it. how much are these check overs?

sam,
not sure as to the cost... a quick phone call to David would sort that out,i remember a lady with a RA turned up when i was there not sure if the car was genuine or not,and they put it straight on the ramps to give it a quick once over,also depends what sort of check you would req,a full inspection or just a diagnostic check of the engine to see if thats ok? as i say they are very helpfull though and will do all they can to sort you out,a phone call osts pennies and could save you a lot more than that in the long run

think i will give david a ring after all.
