Powerstation in Tewkesbury
A couple of question about Powerstation. I have heard nothing but good things about this place and would just like to know if the prices are worth the service.
Unfortunately they dont have prices online but I am wanting to get a service, wheel alignment and new tyres. Will I be ok doing all of this at Powerstation? Im happy to pay for a good service etc but dont want to be ripped off. Anyone care to comment on their experiences with them? Thank you |
Been using Powerstation for years,Customer service can be a little better but apart from that.You could try also try Litchfield imports,not that far from PS.

Don't ask them to fit any gauges ;)

i used them a few times and was impressed with there service.would defo use again!
If you need suspension work then Curtis is your man there! |
Their work is good.. customer service less so. Which is a shame really.
|
Use Litchfields rather than Powerstation
|
do they fit swirlpots ?
How much for geo set up ? was supposed to be going over for a look on sat but something came up . |
Used both Powerstation and Litchfields, no issues with either
|
i used them once , i fitted all my new coilovers with full camber adjustment/new track road ends, set it up best i thought,gets down there one side was half degree out still charged me £90 wouldnt use them again.
not sure if local to you but these are really good at half the price . http://www.alineyourcar.co.uk/ |
Not used litchos yet, but you only need to look at there blog and cars to give you an idea of there workmanship is like.

Thanks B4D UK. I have read through it am quite appalled. I got a full wheel alignment, four new tyres fitted and camber bolt added for £595.
Hope I havent been ripped. |
What tyres ? :)
|
Its was Toyo T1R's. They said they only sell Toyo's. aanted the Vredsteins initailly but I needed it all done at once so no real choice. Atleast the Toyo's are a nice tyre.
|
I have used Curtis at Powerstation for some time and found him very courteous and helpful.

If you want a professional, enthusiast's style company... with the work carried out by polite like minded people who love Subaru's and working on them..use Litchfields
If your not bothered about all that..then use Powerstation. I called in (by accident) looking for Litchfield Motors... I walked out with zero directions, zero phone number, zero interest.... and all the time I was there, they were bitching about a client who was unhappy about a job they had done.... A previous re-map by them (back in 2003) was pretty dull too... I'd use Ian anyday over PS imho obviously |
Id use Iain Litchfield too. Never had a problem with him or his customer service:thumb:
|
They were good once, seems to be all about making money now. Hourly rate is a bit steep IMHO But hey main dealers are a lot worse :D

Do they bollox ! :) £79 from camskill and £10 a corner fitting is £89 all day long :thumb: You haven't been ripped but you've paid through the nose by about £70+ IMHO :( Bearing in mind what they can buy Toyos in for (apparently exclusively ?:confused:), you were a healthy transaction ;) Vredesteins are £115 fitted which would have been bang on the money :) |
Forgive me if this is discussed in another thread, but just seen Powerstation appear to be no longer trading.
Quoted directly from their website: "Due to unforeseen circumstances PowerStation UK Ltd. has closed. However, the exceptionally well equipped workshop (including MAHA 4WD Dyno Cell) is available to lease." Any idea when this happened? |

Still amazes me how they seemed to work on high end cars and charge a lot yet let themselves go pop ?

Looks like they have reopened, now as Plum Crazy Performance:
"Formed in 1998 by Dirk Hale and Rich Benton and recently incorporated within Plum Crazy Performance" http://www.powerstation.org.uk/ Jon |
Worries me when thee companies go under then suddenly pop up again under a different name. If it didnt work the first time why would it a second?
|
My last experience with them was pretty poor when it was Power Station. Reviews will be key to their current business.

The only issue I had there was with Rich the owner. Rude and uninterested.
Dyno days held there were always excellent though! |
