Must read if you are thinking of taking your car to them for work
If it's staff then the owner should fire the staff involved
It's not good enough when members travel hundreds of miles exactly to avoid this type of nonsense !!

Don't post on here much now days but saw this on FB and needed to see people's thoughts.
Judging by the videos, those pot-holes could have been avoided. Easily. It's such a shame as a reputable performance Subaru supplier is seriously lacking at the moment.

There can be 2 sides to any story that's correct, but the video speaks for itself and if I left my car with a so called specialist and this happened to it I would go f*****g mental. Another question how many other cars have they done this to and nobody has been none the wiser, you would think with the money they charge they would of at least sorted the road leading to the workshops!!!!
--------------------------------------
Test driver and passenger get into car, the driveway leading upto the premises is loose gravel, flooded and heavily pot holes. I'm talking 2-3mph tops in a lowered car.
He drives at 30mph down potholed roads apparently AIMING for potholes as the passenger laughs and the car continuously bottoms out and smashes. Passenger is heard saying 'You'll smash his ****ing alloys, least he'll forget about the brakes then'.
They reach smooth road and start thrashing the nuts off the car. Driver is heard saying 'sounds like the turbo is on it's way out but I won't mention that'.
'Brakes don't feel like a normal STI'
'If you pump them a few times they feel fine'
Passenger is heard
'Ay nowt wrong with them he's full of ****'
( impressioned accent ) 'I'm from London I'm a ****'
Test drive goes on for 20 minutes whilst they dribble on about other non related stuff.
Arriving back at the pot holed road the driver now goes even faster and still aiming for potholes.
Passenger is heard
'You missed one'
Driver is heard
'With any luck I'll burst a ****ing tyre, that'll **** him off'
End of recording.

it's totaly garbled untill it gets up to the ramp, where the words are,
'with any luck it'll burst a tyre, then maybe they'll mend the lane'
the words have nothing to do with deliberately trying to burst the guys tyre because of who he is.
Never been to SC - And never will now.
Hope they go to the wall TBH. It is a shame, but if you employ people like this and fail to tell them that customers cars must be respected at all times, then it's all over.
Of course, that access road should never be in that condition anyway given the vehicles that have to get over it.
