Question

Jusyt bought a MY94 WRX (at last). Just wanting to know where anyone in the North East of England goes for their servicing of WRX`s. I`ve heard Subaru UK won`t touch them, so I`m looking for recommendations here, where you`ve had good service, reasonable pricing and the like.

Thanks in advance.

Revolution in Newcastle!?!? Or worth travelling to TSL Motorsport near Nottingham, or Scoobymania.

PS Enjoy your Scoob!

I`m sure I will. Cheers for the recommendations. Haven`t got my insurance sorted yet, but a bit of a funny story as I was driving home after buying it (was insured through my present insurance 3rd party only btw).

My mate was following me home in my Vectra. We were stopped in a large queue at a roundabout (2 lanes). He said to me when we got back "Did you see the minibus alongside you at the roundabout?" I said no. He said, I saw the people looking at your car and I could see them pointing and saying look at that car".

Hoho, made me smile. The last time that happened was when I had a clapped out Cortina mark 4!! LOL. (Was for all the wrong reasons then)

Gilesgate in Hexham had an RA in the workshop other week, I mentioned to the mechanic about them working on jap imports and he said they didn't have a problem with servicing them.

Probably quite dear though, I'm still in the warranty period so have to get shafted by a main dealer

SG Petch Richmond, if you're further south and are prepared for main dealer prices. Used them for almost 9 years with no hassles.

Cheers

I`m just outside of Gateshead. Whereabouts is Revolution Micky??

I have to say, I`m impressed with the new motor. It feels like your in a jet plane, and turns heads. Quickest car I`ve ever driven.
