Default Garage recommendations


Morning/afternoon/evening, So I got a subie few weeks back and got it at a good price just a little tlc needed Inc new clutch... now as its running 270bhp not the standard 221, its got a blue box exedy organic clutch and lightweight forged flywheel but it's on its way out, knee hits steering wheel before it bites 😅... I'm based in hampshire down south and was wondering for recommendations of good garages to go to, to get it done as don't wanna go somewhere and have it ruined lol. (Attached is what's in my car at moment)
Any proper rust removal places in the area would be great too. TIA

Depending on where you are in the South, Len Carlyon at Subaru 4 You in Newbury is a great Subaru specialist.
No bull, doesn't upsell you stuff you don't need. Very good at what he does etc etc.

I always use Len for anything I don't fancy taking on myself, and have been using him since 2013.
I travel to him from Aldershot Hants, and trust him 100%

Another shout for Len. My Classic is with him at the moment, and I've used him since I got my first Impreza in 2004.

Unfortunately, nothing so exotic. Mine was the green turbo 2000 near the front. Len had to weld the sills for its MOT, but then it went through without any advisories.
