Which garage do you use
 

Hi all was wondering which garages in Essex you use. I may have the beginnings of head gasket failure:mad: and will need to get it sorted but didnt want to travel a too far to get it sorted.

Thanks

I have always used Extreme in Boreham

Mocom Racing for me ... used em for years :) Not sure if Essex albeit is certainly close by ;)

TX.

Which garage do you use
 

With the exception of Extreme, I can't recommend a specialist in Essex worth spending money with to get your HG done. I've wasted a fair bit of money on pretenders but your best and closest specialist is FB Tuning in Maidenhead:thumb:

Worth every bit of the hour or so it takes to get there from Chelmsford but at least you have Piece of mind that the jobs being priced fairly, undertaken promptly and properly in clean tidy premises :) Nothing worse than getting a fanboy recommendation and turning up at Steptoes yard !:lol1:

Give Rich a call, you'll be well impressed :)

iv not used extreme scoobies in boreham, but my neighbors have and recommend them. Havent yet heard anything bad about them elsewhere either

I would recommend either Xtremescoobies or Mocom Racing. What makes you think you have headgasket failure mate? may be a good idea to get a local garage to carry out a sniffer test before jumpimg to the most expensive conclusion:)

I don't trust anyone in Essex. I do all work myself. To be perfectly honest you don't even seed a subaru "so called" specialist. A subaru engine is no different in function to any other.

Too many of these supposed subaru tuners do a poor job in a slack timeframe and charge the earth for the service.

From what I know of Paul at Extreme Scoobies he come across as a nice enough chap and plenty of guys here recommend him.

Rich @ FB tuning is a newly established business and is keen to do a good job at a good price and make a good impression.

If I were you, I'd do a search on the companies you may intend to use and have a read.

Far too many horror stories I'm afraid mate.

Exactly what I have been saying for years!

wheres fb tuning ????

stu

Maidenhead :)

how far from colchester ??

stu

found it mate, its 106 miles from me , a little too far

but ill give him a call but would have to be cheap for it to be worth the travel and petrol

stu

Rich at FB Tuning may not be in Essex but he will do a great job at a fair price - call him on 07595 493581 to discuss.

:freak3: cheap is approximately equal to someone cutting corners or not doing the job properly which is directly related to a higher state of broken engineness.

buy cheap, buy twice :thumb::thumb:

Cheap and Subaru ownership should never be used in the same sentence.

If you want cheap motoring then get a crappy fiesta or something like that, IMO

And by 'something like that', he means Focus, Mondeo etc etc ;)

i only said t would have to be cheap as it would cost me 50 in go go juice and a day driving

any way iv found a very good mechanic about 15 mins from me , hes called andy larkin
and hes a wrc mechanic , so knows his stuff
he can be found at
andy larkins engineering
unit w
birchwood road
Dedham
co7 6hx
07767828760

hes quoted me £120 for a full service , to include gear box oil and diff oil

stu

ps , if your going to use him mention, stuart in the p1 and scoobynet ;-)

Good stuff :)

Perfik :D :thumb:

nice one stuart :thumb:

stu
