Essex Subaru repairs?
 

Hiya

1st post in this section... I have a MY96 Impreza Sport (SOHC non-turbo)... I have a cambelt kit and waterpump that I need fitted to my car and I live in Romford, Essex

Can anyone help by recommending a garage to have the labour done at a reasonable rate?

Only garage so far is in Chelmsford which have quoted £116

Thanks in advance!

OK I have Chelmsford Carriage Company which have quoted £116 including VAT and I have have been quoted by Extreme Scoobies which hve done their best to match the price at £120 including VAT

As I have no experience with either of these places, could someone recommend one of these to go to?

Trying to save the pennies as my Scooby needs a fair bit of work (just had replacement driveshafts fitted on Saturday and need some welding on the rear ¼ panel)

Thanks!

Hi , I don't know Chelmsford Carriage co 100% , but I'm not sure they are a specilaist in Subaru. Extreme however are, and have looked after my Scoobie (and the 2 before) for the past 6 years or so , highly recomended on here. I would prefer to trust it to them for the sake of a few £ if it were me .
Hope this helps

Have never heard of Chelmsford Carriage Co.

I would take it to Extreme. :thumb:

This is them

http://www.chelmsfordcarriagecompany.com/

They say they deal with Subaru but definatly not a specialist!

I think I will go with Extreme, spoke to Paul there but only available next week... will let you know of my findings

Now I need to arrange for the welding as my rear bumper is being held on the drivers side with a screw through rust and some no nails lol

You won't go wrong with Extreme ;)

you have a pm

They're just a crappy used car sales place, you don't want to go there fella :) Been to look at a few cars there and I wasn't very impressed :)

Where abouts in romford are ya mate? Im in Hornchurch near roneo :D

You could try TDI in lakeside although they are extremely expensive labour wise or theres a place next to them called apc or something im not too sure (i havent used either) apart from TDI doing a head gasket check for me!

I am not far from there, just off of Brentwood Road

Belts, pulleys, tensioner and waterpump all changed yesterday thanks to kevin wrx... Thanks!

no probs mate

haha. Hold on. I was walking down a road round the corner to me the other day and i saw a black scoob with a tasty private plate parked up that ive seen a few times recently round this way. Didnt know you lived so close though.

My car is green but has a 555 numberplate :wonder:

I live near the petrol garage on Brentwood Road

Haha maybe its not you then. Im closer to the harrow Can get to my road from Globe road (no my scoob has never been down there) lol Well theres a nice little collection of scoobies all within a close vicinity of each other never knew that.

I drive past there sometimes to go to Rainham so might pass you one day

Ive seen a few pottering about in Romford... even my partner now can spot one from a distance, I am teaching her well lol

Haha well done. I taught the ex well too. Sometimes she would spot them before me.:razz:

Might see you at the run tomorrow? Ill keep an eye out for the number plate.

Ive just seen the page on it, didnt realise it was on

I might tag along the last part as I will be in Charlton tomorrow
