Got a few bits to sort out on my UK300 so have been searching about the internet and Scoobyworld are the first company that come up on google. Been onto their site and even had a live chat with one of the guys there and he seemed helpful enough but just wanted to know if anyone on here had any experience with them?

They are also fairly local to me so don't have to go too far to see them, but don't want to waste time, money and fuel if they are no good

 

They've been around for a while now, used them a few times, all seems ok.

 

Thanks, like I said I spoke to someone there on a live chat and he seemed very helpful and knew what he was talking about. Just wanted to make sure they are who they are by the people who have used them before.

 

Depends what you're going to use them for. Theyre mainly a retailer, and in my experience a frustrating one at that. Several times I've called to discuss items on their website to be told theyre not in stock or not as pictured on the site.

Other than fitting shocks and exhausts I dont think they have the facilities to do much else. Years ago they had a dyno there but that got taken out, probably due to lack of use.

What is it you want to go there for?

 

Blowing from the flexi pipe and rear shock top mounts knocking, was thinking about getting them to give it a basic service as well........

 

Northampton to Loughborough isnt exactly a quick trip up the road, for what are basic jobs that any competent garage could do. You've got Zen Performance on your doorstep too, but i've heard they are hard to get hold of.

 

Well I actually live closer to Market Harborough so it's only about an hour away according to google. Will google Zen Performance and see where abouts they are and perhaps get hold of them. Was thinking about booking it into a garage near work but I'm not sure they would know exactly whats needed on the exhaust as it's a 3" system.........

 

RM Performance in Banbury will be about the same distance from you. I would defo look at Zen or RM Performance first

 

Just had a quick look at both the facebook and websites and they both seem to come highly recommended especially Zen Performance. Shall get in touch with both and see what they say, thanks for all the advice guys!

 

Mick from RM Performance is on here - username Merlin24 - he is very helpful
Not sure if anyone from Zen frequents the board?

 

Sent both a message so shall see which one replies, know I could probably get a general garage to do the work but I'd rather take it to a specialist who knows exactly what they are talking about and has the experience with these cars!

 

Also in the area is Tim Farmer, who is a subaru specialist mobile mechanic. He's very good and extremely knowledgeable. He's on Facebook (search subbus) or call him on 07880 661866.

 

I shall bare him in mind, thanks

 

they seem a right rip off for parts

 

Scoobyworld are longtime members of this forum (not seen them post for a while tho').

I've always had good service from them

 

Scoobyworld are very good, decent at mapping too, TDR commented at how good the map was when they did cambelt and map check. (TDR) Thwaites developments are top notch and only at warwick so pretty easy to get to from northants http://tdracing.co.uk/
Graham goode are also at loughborough and know their way around a subaru.

 

where is Goodie based in Loughborough?

 

A426, Lutterworth Road, Leic.

They're no longer Subaru specialists, per se. They do MOTs... Not sure if they still offer garage services?

 

There's RCM in Hinckley, too.

 

Richard (ZEN) is now based in Earith.

 

Sorry meant leicester, jnc 21 of M1

 

They still do subaru work and supply parts etc though, decent guys.

Thwaites is my go to place now though as they are closer, can't fault them.

 

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, got a few to choose from but had a good conversation with Zen performance the other day so will probably take it to him! Good to see there are a lot of specialists around the area!

 

I've yet to hear a bad word about zen. Are they still in Earith?

 

Spoke to him on Facebook the other day and he says he's baised in Cambridgeshire now, didn't give an exact location though......

 

Speak to Tom at Sprinting Hare JDM about parts - id be surprised if he couldn't help you.


Then once you got what you need get it booked in with Richard at FB Tuning
