Question

Hi guys, as most of you will know i did own an import previous to my RB5, so main dealers were a no go area as regards servicing.

it's now about time for the RB5 to be serviced (mileage 51,000)as i've owned the car about 10 months now.

Question is, where should i take it

Palmers, Wildings (where the previous owner bought it from), Davidsons at Durdar( where Neil has always done a fantastic job on my WRX), or A N other.

With having TEK 3 ecu mods where do i stand with diagnostics at a main dealer?
warranty isn't an issue.
Peace of mind is a HUGE issue.
And money has it's part to play

where do you take yours and what do you think ?

cheers

Talking

Dave,

Speak to Ian at Palmers. Palmers always used to be off with me as I have a Euro Imprt, but Ian has changed the place. He knows his stuff too.
