Question

hi,
Wondering if anyone had any recommendations for servicing for my WRX. Live near Guildford, so somewhere in Surrey would be good. Know there is PowerEngineering, SGT and Cheam.....any others? Do Cheam/SGT service imports?

cheers,
Matt.

Not sure if they do imports though.

Good luck]

Cheers

I'm with james on this one. I also use GDA, recommened to me by James.

Graham and Nathan are both top guys, who really know their stuff. I trust them implicitly with the blackbeast.

nuff said!

Bell & Colvill or Cheam won't touch you as its a wrx. They won't touch imports so forget that.

SAS in Aldershot are good and nice blokes (tim and ike) but the labour rate can be a tad expensive (£50 an hour when i last went).
I have an old receipt here for from SAS, new front pads, oil change, fitted a boxed blitz turbo timer and one run on there rolling road, how much you reckon ???

try £693 after the vat. ouch. Bit steep.

Matt i do have the answer to your questions though in someone highly trained and a good bloke to boot.

Mail me offline and i'll give you some names and numbers for a quality chap that won't cost the earth or require you to drive across a few counties.
